Game Thread: Miami Heat Week 1 Game Thread

[Heatles84]

Wade already having a great all around game.

3 assist, 4 rebounds, and a block.

Wade's doing pretty good tonight. Maybe he could get the triple double. Bosh is just insane right now. I'm glad (albeit we're 3 games in) that he proves the doubters wrong.

 

[Heatles84]

Yeah, Wade should just retire.

Which is really crazy to me. We didn't add any guys that are great rebounders..just average. We lose LeBron, who can board.. and he we are. I think Bosh playing closer to the basket has really helped. I look for Bosh to have his best statistical year of his career.

Honestly, Bosh saved the Heat franchise for the time being. The entire Miami Heat fan base owes this guy. Without him.. we would be a borderline playoff team..even in the East.

To be fair, we do have better rebounding players this year though in McRoberts and Deng. Last year, we only had Bron and Bosh.

We are in trouble tuesday night if Bird or UD can't go.

Hamiltion against Dwight is such a mismatch

 

[bksballer89]

Heat going super small with Cole, Chalmers, and Wade

 

[Heatles84]

Justin Hamilton is active. That's the shit that will get you playing time....and Haslem and Birdman being out tonight.

To what Heatles said, is CB eligible for comeback player of the year?

As for the rebounding - I have always felt that its an area that has a lot to do with effort and “ want to” more as much to do with anything else ... now that we have the diva Queen James gone, its easier to get effort from start to finish without no to little lapses

Gotta do something about all this fouling

13 free throws for Toronto already

Beautiful give & go by Bosh & McRoberts

 

[Paolo305613]

Maybe its just me, but seems like the first half of these first 3 games have taken forever?

 

[bksballer89]

Its just you.

This offense has been amazing

 

[bksballer89]

This half probably took longer than any of the first 2 because of the amount fouls & free throws

40 combined free throws & 30 fouls

The way these guys keep passing the ball so far this season kinda reminds me of the Spurs offense. Not a lot of one on one basketball.

With Queen James gone - its easier to avoid one-on-one basketball

McRoberts played 10 minutes in the first two games combined. So the only real difference was LeBron and Deng.

 

[Paolo305613]

Still early, but impressed with how the team is playing so far on the second night of a b2b. Easy to do when the Queen and diva is gone

 

[bksballer89]

They weren't lying when they said the offense would be changed

 

[bksballer89]

Heat outrebounding Toronto by 15.

How is this happening? I have no idea

WADE!!!!!

2 blocks on valanciunas by Wade
