i really hope so because we can't survive with rio, napier, cole rotation. period.

i'm hoping that napier's offense to come around but it hasn't happened yet. i think he is doing okay with intangibles but i thought his best feature was outside shooting!!! is it just a matter of confidence or what?


The nitpicking on Napier has to stop !!! :lol: :lol:

Welcome to the crew :wink:

Ha, I have been neutral on Napier. He has been shooting horribly so he needs to pick it up. He is just compounding our PG problems right now man :x

It amazes me how bad the point guard play is. I know Coles has a hand injury that never fully healed. But there is no reason why our point guards are shooting so bad.

he showed up today

clutch 3 point shots man lol


Needed two IVs to get through the Thunder game. That's why he wasn't playing in Charlotte.

That was a good signing. I hope we find a way to keep him.

Exaggerating as always. He hasn't been this poor often or else he wouldn't sit at 21.8 a game at 48% shooting.
despite his stats dude has poor ball-handling or havent you seen how he fumbles the ball?

http://espn.go.com/nba/team/stats/_/name/mia/miami-heat
he has the highest turnover ratio among heat players and his poor ft shooting is suspect as well. never mind that there are times in which he plays like he does not care or too passive


He has the highest turnover ratio because he handles the ball the most. His free throw shooting has been poor, I'll give you that, but Wade has by no means been as bad as you make him to be.

Man beginning of the season I was more worried about the defense, but our offense is reeaaaally ****. Most of these games we have trouble breaking 90 points.. Mostly due to 2nd half stinkage.

Good news is, Whiteside will be back on Sunday.

Is it official, or just off speculation?

More like a prayer. :lol:

Them playing better and tightening up their D not playing their C who was having a bad game (and lifeless, looked depressed lol this dude too emotional) while we trotted out a UD-Williams front court

that caused the lead to dwindle... man. The same **** this team does costs us. Not just the players but yes Spo too...

I cannot understand what he sees in Haslem-Williams front court. Williams almost always played SF. Look at his draftexpress report from 2006:

http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Sha ... port-2811/

I like Haslem a lot, but putting him in the paint against Mahinmi and expecting him to dominate is wishful thinking.

Need our Bulls game thread! I think tomorrow is going to be a huge game, against one of the 4 best in the East (likely one of the 2 best when its all said and done), with almost our full lineup healthy (really only McRoberts out now if Whiteside plays). Great way to see where we're at and if we can possibly start a 2nd half surge.
