Have we tried convincing Ray Allen to return?

Yes, that is what I am telling you. Stoudemire,Green,McRoberts,Chalmers,Dragic,Bosh...all defensive liabilities.Even Wade and Whiteside have their breakdowns. The only shining spot right now is Winslow. No, we are not going to have a top 5 defense. What the hell are you on that you think otherwise? Houston game is one game and they were missing 2 of their starters. Winslow played great D on their 1st scoring option. Houston just went cold in the 2nd half. We still allow too many open 3's and don't get back on defense in transition...so I ask again, what are you on that u think otherwise?

lol, GROW SOME NUTS! plus we're only 4 games into the damn season

You mean to tell me you've precisely predicted what sort of team we are in just 4 games into the season?

Grow some common sense. We have guys on the team that are are mediocre at that end . History shows that. The hell does balls have anything to do with it? 4 games in, what have you seen that it will be any different? And it's not like I said we would be bad. I said we wouldn't be great. Did you expect great D from our roster this year?

The problem w/ you and some other Heat fans is you are judging our team based on a very small sample size. This team is yet to even gel and gain proper chemistry - but you cats seem to think it's justifiable to critic a team w/ completely new players & new system just 5 games into the season. Grow some common sense?? lol ppsshhh, you're a joker......come back at me mid way through the season and see where this team is at. In the mean time keep advocating for some old dude that hasn't played an entire season that doesn't want to be here anyway

Ray Allen has said he won't "officially" retire because if something came to the table, contractually and situationally, he would want to be able to seriously consider it. He says he keeps in tip-top shape no matter what. (I doubt it's close to game shape though) He also has said, "I don't miss it...I realized how much time I missed not being home with my kids." I think you can add that the golf course beckons on a daily basis also. lol

I've always loved watching that guy play and I hope he doesn't come back because he'll get his doors blown off on defense and I highly doubt he can knock down threes with the kind of consistency he had his last year with the Heat. Too old and especially too removed from the game at this point. A 19th year just doesn't make much sense to me. JMHO
