Re: HEAT VENT LINE
can we fast forward to next season? when we have spacing?
and maybe feeding Whiteside?
and Wade curling for shots or whatever its called and not having the ball so much in his hands only for him to dribble it off his leg or some ****
and if we were to hero ball I rather have a Bosh 3 than a Wade 3
I miss Bosh, this team without a real PF looks terrible. I was critical of his play but damn this dude relieve a lot from Whiteside and this team because of his jumpshooting... and spacing

Exactly. This team is nothing without Bosh. We should just tank and grab the pick. It would be a nice asset to have moving forward. This team is not doing crap in the playoffs.

Re: HEAT VENT LINE
Wade needs to consider coming off the bench next year like Ginobili. We need younger legs at the two guard position. And someone who can hit a damn three.

I'd give Wade 20 minutes a game. Your leader can't be so passive on defense and turnover prone (bad shots are turnovers IMO) on offense. Love you Wade, just don't love your game anymore.

Re: HEAT VENT LINE
I get that you're all frustrated but you can't tell me none of you expected anything different. This team has gaping holes all over the place.

Re: HEAT VENT LINE
Also if Riley cant fire Spo then we need to surround him with better assistants. Smart is a loser and Craig is way in over his head. Craig is involved with game planning and his contributions stink.

In 2016 I am hoping Wade takes a pay cut like Dirk and is off the bench like Manu
we can't rely on this dude later on, he is in and out of the line up and the inconsistencies HURT us.
This team right now sucks cause of inconsistency, and you know what? This year Wade will get hurt again anyway. Its inevitable, especially when he is FORCING up shots like freakin Kobe.

HEAT VENT LINE
Guys, we needed 3 more points last night and a few more points tonight's, we have enough people who can score without using the BOSH excuse. Just stop.
We were excited about TJ, he gave us a 1-2 game spark, then what?
Excited about that BIG triple double by Whiteside, even posted on the Hassanmania thread in the GB, then what?
on and on
I don't know of ANY OTHER NBA team with similar talent having such an inept vibe after acquiring new talent. I just don't accept this notion of "not plying together enough" Other teams with new talent have had their players blend in a little better.
My Top 20 Questions/Thoughts
1. Could it be that WE injure our own players in practice?
2. Could it be that this coach is really not allowed to make any major adjustments to the system?
3. Could it be that we won't let min salaried guys outplay higher salaried guys?
4. Why does everyone of this coaches comments quickly turn to comments about defense when reporters ask specifically about offense?
5. I thought a coach can be counted on to get us a few wins each year, which games did this coach win for us?
6. Did we really run LBJ into the ground last year?
7. What really made Allen fall out with our staff?
8. What really made Peyton fall out with our staff?
9. What made Masburn suddenly dislike our org?
10. Is ring chasing overrated?
11. What other team(s) would REALLY seek out this coach?
12. Didn't we run battier into the ground last year and made him a shell of himself?
13. What does Big Mac do?
14. Does ZO still work directly with Whiteside?
15. What else does the assistants on the bench doe behinds rate the players?
16. Why exactly did TIMMY leave for Detroit, could he have helped Napier?
17. Can anyone NOW afford the HEATS Family festival?
18. Do we have the weakest assistants in the NBA?
19. Why don’t any other NBA players actually WANT TO SIGN HERE, versus being traded?
20. What exactly basketball related does ZO do?
Just some thoughts
Btw-how again do you reward a player who gets you 24 rebounds?

Re: HEAT VENT LINE
Wade coming of the bench makes no sense. Who could we sign that would be better? Once he gets his legs back he'll start knocking down shots again. Another thing in the last 2 game threads I've been seeing this Kobe comparison. D-Wade ain't taking nearly as much shots that would hurt the team like that. This team needs to find a defensive identity and our pace needs to go up not to a run and gun level but to a pace where down 6 doesn't feels like down 15.
Also for all the Spo hate I doubt he's telling the team to not give Whiteside the ball in the post sure he doesn't force the issue but do we really think his offensive game is polished enough where we should come down and feed him? Another thing I've noticed alot from Whiteside is that he rolls to the basket the wrong way a lot of times, usually a player opens up like a reverse pivot but he kinda rolls in the direction he sets the screen(if any of that made sense).
Last thing is Turnovers
we get good dribble penetration but it always ends up turning into a careless pass. Our guards penetrate pretty well but it seems like they panic and do something stupid. Deng is notorious for doing that and it cost to many possession but its not only him.

Re: HEAT VENT LINE
i had taco's for dinner.
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

Yeah, good times
