Game Thread: Game Thread for Heat games January 8th - January 16th

Whiteside is the only bright side besides Wade and Bosh.

 

[Paolo305613]

The bright side of Diva wade is his career is almost over

Is Miami is somehow able to make a trade and get Lopez, without having to give up Deng, and then if they can somehow get a PG like Calderon. I think this would be a team that could make a run come playoffs time. They could be a scary team. Lopez and Whiteside with Birdman as the 3rd center could be scary.

Now toss in, if Stoudemire does get bought out and clears waivers, Miami wouldnt be a bad choice for him at the minimal. He is from Florida. Then you would have Bosh and Stoudemire as your #4s..

I know none of this is likely to happen, but it wouldnt be bad and all the contracts would still be off the books by 2016.

ASK IRA: Should Brook Lopez interest Miami Heat? - Sun Sentinel

 

[avalon2423]

I cant see the Sun Sentinel articles.

 

[Flauge]

Me either. But Lopez with Whiteside off the bench as the first big for either Bosh or Lopez would be really nice. Run that with Wade.. if you add Calderon.. that is a team that could compete in the East if we keep Deng. But that all is a pipe dream.

 

[Paolo305613]

Strange. I can see them just fine. Go to Ira Windermans facebook page - click on follow, not friend - and you can view all his articles for free on your newsfeed by clicking on them there. That is usually how I access them and bring them here. But, you lazy bitches can do that on your own from now on. I just bring the links.

So would you rather have Stoudemire or Lopez? Assuming both are able to be had.

Lopez because he is younger with less mileage. Lopez is only 26.

Hassan Whiteside reunited with Miami Heat assistant coach Keith Smart - Sun Sentinel

hmm, interesting - one of our rising players is praising one of young assistant coaches for his comfort level with the Heat and his success thus far. go figure.

 

[Paolo305613]

Rumors of heat showing interest in Nate Robinson. Will find links.

I liked him a few years back when he was younger - now? im not quite sure as of now

Lopez....not even close.

Monty McCutchen, Bennie Adams, Derek Richardson your referees for tonight's Heat-Kings, 10 p.m., Sleep Train Arena (Sun Sports).

Should Shabazz Napier continue as a Miami Heat starter? - Sun Sentinel

No Napier shouldnt be starting yet - He hasnt even earned consistent minutes off the bench first

Diva Wade sitting out another game tonight due to severe vaginal aches

 

[bksballer89]

So the heat training staff started this babying crap again.

Wade was a game time decision Wednesday but 2 days later he's ruled out 6 hours before tip? Does not add up

 

[Paolo305613]

Kings say Rudy Gay (knee), Carl Landry (wrist) both out tonight against Heat. Omri Casspi (knee) is probable. Ramon Sessions (back) is out.

Per Ira Winderman. Looks like the Kings will be short-handed as well, which should further increase our chances of a win - with Diva out, no hero ball tonight

Last time he SAT OUT a game, it was said that it was a decision made by the training staff, even though diva supposedly wanted to play - I am pretty sure it was BS and a PR move to say it was a decision made by the trainers when really it was probably that Diva simply didnt want to play - He had another lackluster performance previous game - and he usually SITS OUT after such games.

The Heat organization does not like controversy and negative publicity - its best for them to be sensitive when they say things not to stir things up. So, again, I am sure diva just simply doesnt want to play but the team is making it sound like it was theirs or a mutual decision.

Either way, Heat should win tonight.

 

[Paolo305613]

Diva and Josh McRoberts inactive - Birdman GTD

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat again starting Napier and Whiteside tonight, along with Bosh, Deng and Chalmers.
