Re: Thursday, Jan 8th - HEAT @ BLAZERS 10:30pm on TNT
we have
Rio 28
Wade 33
Deng 29
Granger 31
Birdman 36
out there after Granger is subbed in, also with Bosh who is 30
is this the oldest line up in the NBA?! Spurs are a little skewed with Duncan and sometimes Manu (BUT have healthy Kawhi and Splitter) but I mean given the MILEAGE AND AGE, PLUS SMALL BALL... you can see why we have issues
we always look better with youth. ALWAYS. Spo will never get it I dont think honestly, because he doesn't trust them. Too bad, because we'll keep losing at this rate.
BTW, no wonder they are BURNT OUT by the 3rd. playing tiring defense isnt helping

at least SPO played Whiteside 19 mins but mostly in garbage time when it was too late! He could have played him 36 mins and would have made a huge difference. Did you catch the game or you been drinking??
Yeah I can tell by the posts whiteside could have been more impactful, nah was with fam, I guess good thing I didnt fully catch it.

Yeah, and they all play like they are +2-3 years older too. More like
Rio 33
Wade 35
Deng 31
Granger 36
Birdman 36
Most of our guys are old AND nonathletic man. Some of them can be athletic but only in spurts and it shows. That's why Whiteside stands out because he is so tall and pretty athletic. Bosh is all finesse.
We need a system that fits our players. It should be obvious but clearly not to our coach so..

Re: Thursday, Jan 8th - HEAT @ BLAZERS 10:30pm on TNT
glad this was on national TV
it was late but some people seeing through Spo, even other fans of other teams
well I mean everyone always hated him, to think I even tried to back him up a few times makes me sick
this dude sucks when there's no hall of famers in their prime to bail him out

Haha, yeah I wish wasn't watching this fail game but knitting or doing something else more productive. Spo is borderline trolling with his rotation though.. it cracks me up to some degree.

I also think we look good with Ennis in there too
Wade-Ennis-Whiteside look good. HECK COLE WAS LOOKING GOOD... thats how much of an impact WHiteside has, makes our **** players not so ****
Rio was 2-12? he has had a LOT of nights like that, what the **** man. Even against the Cavs Rio had 2-12 and the old Rio I know would have had a decent game. Thats when I knew something was REALLY wrong

I was seeing the boxscore on my phone and was just in total despair... I think Spo couldn't even troll if he wanted, he just thinks its a process while holding onto his little ass rope.

yeah at the same time, playing like this will reduce the number of our national TV games. Not that we should be on TV so often embarrassing ourselves like this but still...
I heard that BSPN cancelled our game vs Wizards in March or something??? Spo doesn't sell anymore.

Re: Thursday, Jan 8th - HEAT @ BLAZERS 10:30pm on TNT
at this rate our only national games are probably the ones against the Cavs cause people still hate us and want to see us get smashed smh
thats the only time I saw this team play with such energy... then again we were at home and the crowd was into it big time

Yeah Ennis def. looks good with Whiteside. Ennis is one of the more athletic guys on this team too.
Spo really needs to mix it up and find combinations that work. Rio wasn't that bad tonight lol I think 2-12 was an example I gave about the kind of off-shooting night he is avoiding to have (maybe because he's had enough already). He's looked pretty passive but he's been shooting horrible at the same time.. that's a true sign of a horrible player who can't even protect your FG% by being selective and passive. he is 4.2 PPG on .348 from the floor past 5 games and % is about the same over the past month or so. Garbage.
We are just bad man... if our only Brightside is Whiteside.. yeah that's baaad.

Re: Thursday, Jan 8th - HEAT @ BLAZERS 10:30pm on TNT
ha the best thing about our season is a guy we signed on Nov 24th... like how lucky is that? or else I wouldnt even enjoy this season at all... and Napier doesn't play...
our season would be more enjoyable with those 2. Napier was also crafty in garbage time... Cole/Rio aren't at all, maybe Rio sometimes but for the most part, nope

Wade, Bosh and Deng were garbage after three days off. Way to go by our leaders, way to go, this how you turn a season around. When I look back at their shot selection tonight, I can find you 10-year olds who would know that a lot of the shots they took were flat out stupid. I'm not even gonna comment on their defensive effort, especially by Bosh and Wade. They always talk about wanting to win now, but what are you going to do in order for us to win now?!? Since Bosh has returned, Wade has been utter garbage and Bosh hasn't played that well either.

Re: Thursday, Jan 8th - HEAT @ BLAZERS 10:30pm on TNT
only saw part of the first quarter because i am currently under the weather and i got sleepy as hell since this was a pretty late game.i remember that the heat were winning making their shots while Portland was missing everything till they made a run and were up by 1 point,i believe.after that my whole system went down and i couldnt stay awake even if i wanted to...so, it seems that i didnt miss much.huh....same ole third quarter let down with no energy,turnovers and just bad shooting play making?DWadeno3 wrote:Wade, Bosh and Deng were garbage after three days off.

I noticed when Portland came out with energy and starting hitting shots, the Heat looked disengaged on both sides and look like they knew it was coming
Looked at some postgame comments and they say it's now a head game, and Bosh said how they slump their shoulders when the run occurs, and they don't respond
There is no resilience and our leaders definitely don't show it. Wade is also bad in the 2nd halves besides some 4th quarters. Both sides of the ball just go to complete **** in the 3rd...
What's weird is this team looked GASSED. Birdman was gassed for sure. I think age is coming into play, and our players and Deng got some mileage. There just isn't a balance. Wade always looks spry with the younger guys in as well. Bosh too. But collectively? Its bad.
