Honestly not starting to like this pressure we're getting about upsetting the Cavs. Rather us play great, get credit but stay lowkey :lol:

He's exactly who Terrence Williams was supposed to be, but that's a different story.

Do you mean Terrence Jones?

Nope. Terrence Williams, former Louisville player who's supposed to be the next great point forward. He sucked in the NBA.

Yeah I remember Williams. But he was a 6'6" swingman. Didn't really see the connection to Johnson who is a 6'9" defensive minded PF. Figured you meant Terrence Jones who made more sense.

Miami are now sitting at =7th spot, which is incredible considering they were at one stage, 14th with a record of 10-31.

I can't believe football fans are more knowledgeable about their sport than basketball fans now a days.

Are you just mad that the entire globe has stopped watching Miami heat games since Lebron and D-Wade have left?

I can careless, I like it better when I don't have a bunch of bandwagoners cheering for us, trust me I don't miss it one bit. However, I have a very small tolerance for ignorance.

What's incredible is they could finish the season just a few games back of the Raptors. That's just nuts that these two teams could end up with similar records with they way both started the season.

what is more incredible is they can make the eastern finals. it is not even far-fetched.

What surprises me the most is that when the Heat are healthy they can do what great teams do; they play avarage for 40 minutes, and just lock down defensively and get great shot when the game starts to get close. They don't panic anymore when the game is close or they are down when the clock is running out, they have too much confidence in themselves. I do hope they get to 7th or even 6th spot in the end. But i assume the Cavs would also like everyone alse but the Heat.

That's where the trust comes in. Like alright dude you worked on your game and lost weight like we requested, we saw flashes of your playmaking ability before you joined us, go out there and show us what you got as a point forward. Even after a couple of forced passes and silly shots, they stick with him game after game in that role and now he's killing it. These nba guys all have immense talent. Sometimes you just need proper direction, motivation, and the opportunity to perform

JJ is the goat. He is really amazing. I can't believe this guy wasn't an all-star calibre player when he was a few years younger. I really can't. Granted i haven't seen much of him before this season, but man the guy can flat out ball. He has amazing feeling for the game combined with great power. Great touch around the rim, can switch basically 1-5 on the defensive end when necessary.

I really find it beyond comprehension he isn't in the running for 6th man of the year. Guys like Gordon and Lou Williams are mostly just high volume scorers, but JJ is basically a 15-7-7 game waiting to happen every time with great defence when given the time.

I am hoping that he is giving pointers to Winslow on how to be better offensively.

You should be used to it by now. This is the 3rd straight season this board has talked heavily about Miami beating Cleveland.

Cavs vs Heat and GSW vs OKC first round match up, that's all I ask for.

Here's hoping. I can definetly see Winslow evolving into a JJ type player. He has shown flashes before. Hopefully JJ can explain to him why he wasn't this good the first 10 years of his career himself, and not how to be marginal for 9 years and then explode

He was actually terrific when he was on the Raptors, the coach was just a moron and never played him despite the obvious talent. Really no excuse for it, it was pretty ridiculous.

LeBron James Johnson!

He'll always be a favourite of mine.

Waiters hurt his ankle today. That really hurts the Heat. Dragic had just come back last game. WTH

GlenRiceARoni · Post #159 » by **GlenRiceARoni** » Sat Mar 18, 2017 3:40 am

I had miami having a solid year with around 40 wins.

Because I thought Richardson and Winslow would have good years and dragic would be great without wade getting in the way all the time.

1 outta 3

Won't be surprised if Miami finishes 5th the East. I think it's totally doable.
