Miami Heat Regular Season Thread - Part 1 - Can You Feel It?

[gom]

Soooo....JJ's wife is doing her best to make sure JJ gets put in the substance abuse program:
[twit]1187578361062797312[/twit]

Not sure if he's had a violation in the past, but this a fast road to the NBA checks being put on pause due to a suspension. I know many of us think he's overpaid, but there's no excuse for this level of stupidity. I've smoked the stickiest of icky, and still go through periods of 'round the clock haze, but I've never one in my life thought about sharing video or even pictures of myself blazed. Just how dumb do you have to be?

Knock, knock.
Who's there?
The piss man.
Oh ****!

They deserve privacy. It's nobody's business what our players do when they're offcourt. Besides, because of the injuries implicit in playing basketball at this level, there are good reasons to use cannabis, especially for its analgesic properties.

Our issue with JJ isn't what he does when off work, at home, hanging with his wife, but what he is supposed to be doing when he's working, practicing basketball, working out with the team, staying in shape. smfh. It's ridiculous he wasn't in shape to start the season when he is making almost $1.5m every month. Especially when contrasted with the efforts of our other players, that's the bad look, not this. This is a bad look for Heat fans acting like paparazzi.

I feel the same way about Waiters. Eat all the cheese popcorn you want, Dion. Just show up, work hard, and be a good teammate and not such a dick.

Basketball is not a sport where MJ will help. You are not in great bodily pain like football. You may be a little tired and sore. Similar to going to LA fitness. BBall is mostly cardio. You will rarely find basketball players hooked or take a lot of of pain meds. MJ badly reduces your cardio. Its the reason I quit football in 10th grade and played BBall, because of the tremendous amount of pain that comes with football and what you have to do to cope with it. I have trained a lot of people and the first thing to help a player improve is stop smoking. You want your lungs to be clear as possible. When a player starts training and been smoking weed a lot, the first thing your body does is detox that weed out. You can smell it coming out of them, and see them gasp for oxygen. It slows you down. I had players walk of out of workouts because they were coughing so much from smoking weed all summer. That is why you see NBA player use oxygen therapy when training.

I can understand after surgery when you are recovering and you want MJ inplace of Oxy. But once you are back on your feet and conditioning, you do not want any pain meds even weed because it will hurt your conditioning. Believe it or not, sex is also something that can slow down your conditioning. But that's another topic.

But we got to be careful to not go from one extreme on MJ to another extreme. We getting to the point of over glamourfying MJ. It's probably the reason Waiters was so damn fat when he returned last year.

Lol I'm not sure the effects it will have on your cardio or even as pain therapy. If I recall, you don't get red eyes from edibles. I knew two people who use to make some great edibles back in the 90s.

But most people like smoking because of the social context use of it. You do not get the same social fun out of it with edibles.

In all seriousness. I have trained with players for months that been off the weed and then one night they smoke and you immediately see the impact on their performance the next day.

I can't see Silva being sent down to the GLeague. He is the new UD and he is earning his place in the rotation. I think he's already looking like he can offer more than Leonard.

Well they are two types of players

Leonard is a stretch big and we need that regardless if he’s hitting every night, he can get in the paint and hammer down some dunks too. His defense is pretty trash though that’s the downside.

Silva is a hustler and has a little mid range from what I’ve seen (I don’t know if he’ll shoot it in a NBA game yet) love his work on defense and he’s good at cutting to the basket and getting o. Rebounds too

[AirP.]

So, is Spoelstra preparing for life after a big trade or possibly just seeing what he has that makes other players easier to be traded? Most of the major candidates for trade aren't getting big minutes. Kelly Olynyk not getting much time when he's a much better player than Leonard, Waiters was suspended and then didn't make the small road trip, JJ isn't suspended but isn't traveling with the team, and Leonard is starting but not getting many minutes at all(18.7 after 3 games). Olynyk starting over Leonard and getting more minutes at PF/C probably helps Miami beat Minnesota last night and the team could be sitting at 3-0 at this point. It's just really odd unless something is up and that's not even mentioning deciding to not have Butler go on the road trip(unless there were complications). Just seems to be seeing where specific young players are vs real competition.

Looking at the guys Miami was targeting, not seeing any teams being careful with them(so they don't get hurt).
Love - getting big minutes.
Lowry - getting big minutes.
Beal - getting big minutes.
Blake - out with injuries... again.
OKC limiting 2 trade candidates
CP3 - Right at 30 minutes a night except for their blowout yesterday.
Gallinari - playing 28-29 minutes (except the blowout yesterday), a little lower than last year in LA.

An interesting acquisition would be trading for MKG, can't really shoot but another good defensive wing and is an expiring contract.

[Kobewade11]

How many of those guys was miami truly targeting and how many of them were just fans hope trafficking? Beal and CP3 were the only names with legs to the story.

From Miami beat writers on podcasts, Beal, CP3, and Lowry(more recently but not as long being talked about as the other 2) seem to be the main guys, the others have been mentioned more of what might be a good fit based on what could be available. One beat writer had mentioned hearing Waiters with Galloway's name attached to him(last couple of weeks), not sure how Blake going down affects that.

One thing I do know, the strongest team hasn't been put on the floor for one reason or another and I am really pointing at starting Leonard over Olynyk with Leonard only averaging under 19 minutes as a starter.

We have Olynyk as a stretch big, Leonard isn't as good as him and we don't need him. I'm happy to lump Leonard in any trade that comes up and go with KO, Bam and Silva as our big men.

After 3 games (no Butler, Waiters, JJ)
Miami

Offense
Pts per game: 120 - 8th
Reb per game: 48.7 - 11th
Ast per game: 25.3 - 11th
Stls per game: 7.7 - 16th

Defense
Pts per game: 114.3 - 17th
Reb per game: 44.3 - 11th
Ast per game: 22.7 - 18th
Stls per game: 9.7 - 27th

[shanedude]

Leonard is a pretty Chitty player tbh. Deceptively one of the worst athletes in the league. Gives us nothing that Kelly doesn't already and is somehow even softer.

He’s shooting 60% from 3 he is serviceable for 15-20 minutes a game, You forget that Olynyk was terrible last game too. I’m not saying Meyers is good but he could be a role player that we have until we find something else, it’s also only been 3 games so let him adjust to the team instead of already chitting on him.

[Bishop45]

My ideal rotation as of hoy;

Winnie/Dragic
Nunn/Waiters
Butler/DJJ
Olynyk/JJ
Bam/Silva

Waiters not touching Herro mins unless we're both losing and he's not playing well + good behavior, so lost cause

[Spacely]

Ideal rotations with fat players and knuckleheads, that’s a laugh right there.
