Heat vs Bucks 12-5 Friday

[Bourne85]

At work and just wanted to get the discussion going. Feel free to add pics w.e.

Heat
Cole? Still sick?
Wade
Deng? Hurt? Is he out?
Mcbob
Bosh

Bucks
Knight
Mayo
Parker
Antetokounmpo
Sanders

Both teams are 500. at the moment. Hopefully we pull this game out, going under 500 would be a real shame. This team, while flawed with no competent C or PG should still be higher in the standings. Hopefully Wade can string together 10+ games in a row to get us back on track.

this! i'm beginning to feel like a masochist with all this heat losing

What's up with Chalmers? Why isn't Spo starting him?

I keep going back & forth on him in my Fantasy league. He's playing well (stats wise) but not starting? Why is Cole starting over him?

Stuck between picking up Chalmers or Stuckey now that he's back. Can anyone give me some insight? Thanks.

[Bourne85]

Any news on Cole? Deng?

Napier needs to play better, he's getting plenty of opportunities and he hasn't produced. Maybe spo should start giving Ennis more minutes, I'm not high on him, but he should get a chance. Some more consistent minutes would go a long way.

Get the W!!

Because the second unit needs play makers and scoring on offense. Wade, Mcroberts and Bosh will score, potentially, and create for others. You have Napier and not much else off the bench as far as scoring goes and almost no one who can create for themselves on the second unit.

Deng is out with swelling in hand. I hope we see a lot of Ennis and a zero of Granger!

Need this win really bad, because we're getting anally raped on our trip to west.

Remember when we beat the Mavs in Dallas and thought we were legit. Good times.

Its good that the gametime OP was poorly constructed because it reflects how terrible the Heat are playing right now

[RexBoyWonder]

Winnable game, and we better win it because we've got a bunch of un-winnable games coming up right after.

I really like this Bucks Team, despite them being pretty bad right now.

Sanders - Limited but great defender and rebounder - just how I like my Centers.
Knight - Athletic, can score, can get in the paint. nice player.
Antetokounmpo - awesome potential, huge upside and already nice.
J.Parker - despite the unimpressive numbers, I like what I've seen from so far. Smart player, leader, will only get better. Long successful career ahead.

Truth is, I like Wade and Bosh off the court, appreciate what they did for the team and there's an emotional connection and loyalty to them both.

But from a pure basketball viewpoint, I would take those top 4 Bucks over our top 4. Mainly due to the ages and upside.

Thanks lol. The heat haven't been bringing their effort, so the game thread reflects that, and accordingly so lol.

In all seriousness, I didn't see a game thread, was bored at my station and wanted to get some discussions going. On phone so I didn't bother for pics and all the hoopla.

You've been much less annoying lately. keep it up. good job, good effort.

this is a must win man... if they lose this, it will be pathetic

they had a chance last game, but Bosh had to go 2/19 or some ****

Every time I expect them to bounce back and back up their words (ex. Spo's words before ATL game), they just EPICALLY fail. They just have no identity... so they are unpredictable at this point.

When you're a bad rebounding AND defending team, every game is losable.

[DefenseWins]

Oh and if they go 3-2 on this road trip, giving how much we suck these days, that's a success and I could deal with it lol.

[Umbooki]

So, uh, it'd be pretty cool if we won this game. I feel like Bosh would have some sort of meltdown if the team dropped below .500.

Then again, a twitchy, verbally abusive Alpha-Male Bosh sounds intense enough to get this team on the right track again. Find your inner KG, Bosh! Shock the world!
