Game Thread: Indiana Pacers vs Miami Heat Game Thread

[bksballer89]

The only thing that keeps LBJ from leaving if we don't win the title is that he doesn't want to be that man who is known to move from team to team.

Bosh mentioned Chemistry as an issue right now with the team. Do you think he is referring to the team in general, or ssingling out someone? Lebron has way to much on his shoulders right now. i mentioned this before after LBJ went to Cleveland for Big Z tribute, that his chemistry with the team seemed to change. Wade not playing has got to be bothering him. He has to take all the pressure and blame when something goes wrong. With Wade out tonight, hopefully Beasle or Jj get some playing time. I really want to see Hamilton go up against Hibbert and see what he can do.

and Wade better opt out this season and move down to the $8-9mill range. No way Riley should pay him anywhere near what he is making now. he doesnt even play. and Bosh should opt out and drop to the $10-12mil mark and not a penny more. He isnt even worth that much but still.

either way, the wade situation is frustrating. they arent upfront with the fans or media. but behind the scenes i am sure lebron knows what is up with Wade and how long he will be out.

For once you are correct. They arent being upfront with the fans or the media - Rightfully so - they owe nothing to the fans or media… this is a lousy fair-weathered fan base so they deserve the treatment.

But, as I said you are right for once - they arent being upfront with regards to Diva Wade - anyone in their right mind knows he is just being a little pussy ass bitch - he isnt injured and thats all there is to it… all he has is a swollen ass and vagina .

Bosh mentioned Chemistry as an issue right now with the team. Do you think he is referring to the team in general, or ssingling out someone?

Bosh is not one to single people out. He is the only one out of the big 3 to ever hold himself as well as others accoutanable for their actions on the court… he will always take the bullet within the game and through the media when things are rough - as opposed to the other two divas who are always bitching, pointing fingers and complaining to refs.

Lebron has way to much on his shoulders right now.

Diva James has a lot on his shoulders but its not too much - he asked for it and brought it on himself… he needs to quit being a bitch and deal with it.

and Wade better opt out this season and move down to the $8-9mill range. No way Riley should pay him anywhere near what he is making now. he doesnt even play. and Bosh should opt out and drop to the $10-12mil mark and not a penny more. He isnt even worth that much but still.

What diva Wade needs to do is play for free because he is obviously not worth the money any more and of course he refuses to put in the work to earn it

we all need to take a deep breath. miami can take control of the #1 seed tonight. at the beginning of the year if you told me the Heat would have the #1 seed in the East after the regular season and all our key players will be healthy for the playoffs.. I would have taken it no questions asked.

i get wade's health is an issue. but i dont think it's as big an issue as we are making it. also, we wont really need Wade till the ECF more than likely. So he still has over a month to heal. I think we are fine. We will come out of the East. I dont see Lebron leaving a team that has went to four straight NBA finals.

I'm not worried about this season but why would Lebron sign back with the Heat if he's not even sure the 2nd best player can be healthy for 55 games yearly? This whole sitting out 1 game of just about every single B2B set has to stop next year. If we have a 4 game in 5 night stretch and he wants to sit out one game I'm fine with that but he shouldn't be missing 2 games. I thought he would be closer to 65 games played which I can live with but he's not even going to play 55 games.

 

[Paolo305613]

Spo via Ira Winderman - Birdman still GTD. Diva Wade(vaginal strain) Greg Oden out - UD expected to play

 

[Paolo305613]

Because he is a little pussy bitch

 

[Paolo305613]

Spo on Beasley, "Nothing really. He's fully onboard with this team. I made a change three weeks ago, that’s not an indictment on Michael."So Rashard Lewis still in and Beasley not so much, "Just out of consistency, I've kept it with that second unit."Erik Spoelstra, if Michael Beasley still could have a chance, "There's an opening for everybody." Points to Haslem making it back.More Spoelstra on Beasley, "We do not have a proverbial doghouse."So it looks like Toney Douglas again starting. Spoelstra, "Toney, he gives us an element that's similar to Dwyane."Spoelstra on Wade and chemistry with Big Three, "When he's able to play [snaps fingers] he's playing."Spoelstra, on re-acclimating Wade, "It's not as if we're introducing themselves to each other and putting name tags on the jerseys."

 

[Paolo305613]

Beasley did nothing wrong and as Spo said, him not playing is not an indictment on him - Other guys have just stepped up and earned it like UD, Rashard .

Spo and the staff are handling Beasley just as they should - keep making him have to work for PT.

 

[Paolo305613]

Diva Wade and Greg Oden officially inactive.

 

[Paolo305613]

Birdman active tonight

 

[Paolo305613]

Udonis Haslem starting at C .. Scrub Battier back to rotting on the bench where he belongs

 

[Flauge]

i really dont know if lebron cares how much time wade plays in the regular season. dude has been on several 1 seed teams that didnt win the title. if wade only plays 50 games a season but is fully healthy for the playoffs the next few years, that is still lebron's best chance at a title.

but who knows, im not lebron. interesting stat i heard from lebatard. this season lebron has played more minutes without wade on the floor than with him.

 

[Paolo305613]

Congrats to JJ on getting into the UM Hall of Fame - Scrub Battier cant even make it to the Dulle HOF and will only be in the scrubs HOF where he belongs

 

[Paolo305613]

As Jason Jackson just stated 3 game 7 wins for the Heat last season speaks to the importance of having home court in the playoffs

 

[Paolo305613]

Haslem with the steal already making an impact with his defense and hustle - what scrub battier will never do

 

[Paolo305613]

Early horrible TO by LBJ hopefully its not one of those nights

 

[Paolo305613]

Norris Cole with an instant 3 unlike Scrub Battier - NC haters can suck on that

 

[Paolo305613]

LBJ falling in love with the 3 too early.. not gonna work.. Nice block by Birdman
