This better mean this game will be the last time Chalmers tries to make a play during critical possessions.

Hell he shouldn't be touching the ball at all unless he's spotting up from 3.

In fact he has no business being on the court to close out games unless he's playing lights out (which isn't the case most of the time).

I'll always appreciate what Mario has done for us in the past but he's just so damn frustrating to watch at times and at this point in his career it's pretty clear that won't change. :nonono:

Bosh and Deng played like utter garbage offensively, but the guy who baffles me is Wade. You dominate the first quarter, going 5/7 for 11 points and then attempt ONE shot, ONE, respectively in the 2nd and 3rd quarter?!? I mean, if we're doing well, alright, but we weren't doing s*** and this is what you do?!? Does he know that LeBron isn't here anymore? Really poor game by him.

Ultimately, if you play like a bunch of p*****s, you're gonna get burned by anybody in the NBA. You'd think these guys would know that after getting beaten by the Sixers last year, but apparently, they always need a wake-up call. I expect a HUGE, and I mean HUGE bounce back in the next game from everybody.

In the words of Battier: "What a clunker"

I'll just go ahead and pretend this game didn't happen. Too much to be critical about. Atlanta next.

To all those who didn't agree with me in the other thread when I said that we need a C more than we need a PG or a wing... Yeah, we lost to D-league Pacers. 'Nuff said.

Every game matters this year and we can't just keep losing games we have no business losing. It wasn't just on Rio. It wasn't just on Bosh. It wasn't even just on Wade or Spo. When you lose against a bad team as this, everyone is to blame. There might be 1 or 2 games that will determine whether we start the playoffs on the road or at home. Boys need to get a grip.

On to the next one, but the Hawks will not be as easy as this. Let's go Heat!

I do agree with you for the most part. We could use help at C as well as PG/SG (that's 80% of the team lol).

However, our PF/C grabbed whopping 8 rebounds combined among 5 players. Unless you are thinking about reincarnating Dennis Rodman and turning Chalmers into him, I don't think personnel change is going to resolve our rebounding woe instantly. There has to be something fundamentally wrong with our system when it comes to rebounding because it's been going on for several years.

29th in rebounding this year.. smh

This is the downside of the spacing the floor.

What is? Free Palestine?

8-)

Yeah, I guess. And some would probably argue that we won 2 chips with this system bruh bruh bruh.
From my experience watching the NBA if you suck at rebounding (esp. defensive boards) you aren't likely a contender. Oh wells.

hopefully this fuels a nice 4-1 or 5-2 run.

what a sorry excuse from wade.you dont need to play lethargic and just plain down terrible to see what works or not because guess what? thats what pre-season and training camp was all about,no?just admit it,you (wade and the rest of the team) got played by a D-league team because you were busy with the modeling event :banghead:

I was at a political party meeting yesterday so I missed the the game. How was our ball movement?

It was okay I thought. We shot fine on the floor. No second chance opportunity and spent too much time on defense because we couldn't get the rebounds, hence 75 points. Horrible free throws esp. Wade.

A couple of these from Chalmers, as expected

i'm so salty about this one... worst loss of the season against a sh*t team

Bosh plays like a spice girl against hibbert, doesn't attack the basket, doesn't get to the line..

and yeah, WE NEED A CENTER ASAP

53-28 on the boards smh

Bourne85 · Post #936 » by **Bourne85** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 5:38 pm

No C no chance. That simple.

That and no minutes for Chamers would go a long way

SWadeUP · Post #937 » by **SWadeUP** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 5:41 pm

This one hurt.

Its really simple. Rebounds. Spo and the boys really need top figure that one out. Cant get killed on boards like that. Just cant.

DWadeno3 · Post #938 » by **DWadeno3** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 5:45 pm

All this talk about needing a center, the one thing we need first and foremost is more effort. No boxing out means the other team's players get great position to rebound and that results into the mess we were in last night. Birdman is a big guy, but he's not the best rebounder because he doesn't box out and goes for the ball hard.

I will curse us every time we play the Pacers then.

I coined the phrase that "the Pacers are Our SONS", and I will continue to use it everytime we play. You are just going to have to deal with it.
