Heat Training Camp/Preseason Thread

Napier looks better and better. I think Cole will be the opening night starting PG with Napier as the backup PG

Paolo...the regular season should also be shortened for the fans. Too much money for season tickets. However, no one will shorten the regular season because it is too much money!

I actually have to agree with Paolo on this one. All of a sudden people are starting to complain about the length of the season. I've been watching basketball since the early 90's and never heard of this being an issue until recently. Baseball's 162 games per season and no one complains about that.

Yeah these guys are just whiny bitches

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade expects Erik Spoelstra to put him in attack more - Sun Sentinel

"This early offense that we started in camp is more so to get our guys to better ball movement," he said. "So now Coach is starting to get to the point where it's time now to put in a package for C.B. [Chris Bosh] and myself, and it will kind of be what we do for the next week, week and a half."

"Right now, with our offense, most of the guys are on the perimeter, so if I just attack, then I'm not just going to be able to do that all game. I'm not 20 years old, where I'm going to throw my body in there all the time," he said. "So it has to be a different form of attacking. I can attack off the dribble; I'm not going to do that all the time. It has to be a midpost attacking and getting double-teams that way. It's just mixing up and being smart about it.

ASK IRA: Was releasing Tyler Johnson ill-advised?

Was releasing Tyler Johnson ill-advised by Miami Heat? - Sun Sentinel

Shannon Brown should be cut. The man is done.

If we cut Dawkins instead of Brown I will be pissed. I don't see the reason for Brown on this team. He doesn't bring much to the table on offense and isn't anything special on defense while Dawkins can be our 3 point specialist at least. Also if Chalmers is coming off the bench there is no need for Brown as Chalmers is a way better backup SG than he is. If a team goes big we can always use Ennis there

BTW Wade looks great.

 

[Andresrenee]

Yes. Wade and Bosh look really good. Seems like Deng is struggling fitting in and they will need to work him. Will be very interesting to see who we keep.

 

[bksballer89]

It shouldn't be interesting to see who we keep. Unless the heat front office missed preseason. No way in hell brown should make the cut

 

[Paolo305613]

Do Miami Heat yet have a true read on their rotation? - Sun Sentinel

 

[bksballer89]

Wow they kept the washed up bum Shannon brown over birch. What stupid decision. Birch & Dawkins both gave us something we didn't have while Brown showed us nothing in preseason and we already have players similar to him but they can actually score. I rather keep the young center with promise

 

[Paolo305613]

Was releasing Birch, keeping Dawkins/Brown in Heat's best interest? - Sun Sentinel

 

[Paolo305613]

Wouldnt call him washed up. But, not a surprise move that the Heat keep such a guy over guys with more potential - theyve done it before...

 

[bksballer89]

It is a stupid philosophy with this roster.
