Predictions? Hope we can win at least two...

So the Heat projected starting lineup at the end of the preseason have played 34 minutes together.....and in those 34 minutes the numbers were amazing.

Guys gotta get healthy man

If we get McBob/Bosh back for most of those games, we can actually go 3-1.

IMO unless we're in a situation where we only dress 10 men like tonight, we should beat Utah and Boston. If we get McBob and/or Bosh back along with bringing back Napier, I think we can split the games against Brooklyn & Washington.

I will be in the arena with my Wade jersey on Tuesday here in Brooklyn

Good. Enjoy the game. Need to win that one. I think we compete with them for the 7th or 8th seed...

As bad as we've been and with all the injures we've had so far this year, we are only 2.5 out of 5th. I think we can get the 6th seed and possibly 5th depending on if ATL start is a fluke or not

Hope you are right. I think we might be lucky to get into the playoffs...LOL.

 

[bksballer89]

Na we'll be fine.

The East is pretty bad.

Milwaukee is 6th right now.

Do you really see them running away from us? Let's be real now lol

 

[Andresrenee]

The Bucks are 2-0 against us. Not sure they run away, but Kidd seems to have Spolestra's number in the regular season.

Cuz you are an idiot.

This will be a bounce back week for the Heat. All they have to do is be healthy and they got it

When are the Heat going to trade Josh McRoberts? He must not want to play here. -- Gio.

A: He does. And no one feels worse for the missed time that he does. He has been almost apologetic about each injury or ailment that has kept him out. The one thing about the Heat is that they're willing to be incredibly patient if they believe there is going to be a payoff. It is the approach they took with Mike Miller. And it is one they took with Greg Oden and Eddy Curry. They really like what McRoberts offers and believe his unique game will make them more complex for the opposition to scout in the playoffs. When you sign a player coming off toe surgery, you know the payoff won't be instant. It is why I think they would be reluctant to listen to overtures from Charlotte about a reunion, possibly with Lance Stephenson as the bait. The reality is that the Heat have been a better team with McRoberts on the floor and that 58 games still remain. For now, that means having to endure nights like Sunday.

Q: Those Shabazz Napier and Hassan Whiteside guys sound good. The Heat should give them a chance. -- Wes.


A: One D-League appearance does not a career make. With Chris Andersen back, I can understand the move with Whiteside. The Heat only go so deep in their power rotation, and for better or worse, Erik Spoelstra seems to have this fascination with Justin Hamilton. The Napier move is a bit more confounding, but I think it's part of them making it clear to him that more is needed than ballhandling and shooting. Sometimes a bit of humility makes a better pro. Still, when you are two players down, having options hundreds of miles away seems to make little sense.

Q: Sunday's team was scrappy, and fun to root for! I'm happy for the "process" win or lose. -- Daniel.

A: So you're the one.

This dumb ass fan base continues to ask the wrong questions. Unlike diva, McRob has a real injury and has played hard when healthy and when hurt. And as I have always said, it will be hard and I dont blame the rest of our guys for not playing as hard especially since our so called leader hardly ever plays as hard as necessary.

 

[bksballer89]

Heat realize their mistakes and called back napier & whiteside

 

[bksballer89]

Mcroberts done for the year.

This has now forced Pat Riley hand. Gotta make a trade

 

[avalon2423]

Wow. McBob out for the year.. what a huge setback. Do we get a player exemption for cap space? What a big blow to an already crappy season.

 

[Flauge]

McBob done for season... and the hits just keep on coming.

I think ira said we do if we release Dawkins

 

[avalon2423]

The $$ we would get back could help bring in a big man like Lopez.

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat can apply for player exception for McRob - He isnt officially out for the seasont, but highly likely he will be - Heat wont apply for it untl they know officially. Very unfortunate. By far one of the few hard working guys on the team and one of the few who actually gave it all he had when out there.

And, now, everyone can stop their crying now that Napier is back
