Game Thread: Miami Heat week 2 Game Thread

[Paolo305613]

Like most everyone here, I enjoyed our championship run - But, as I said many times, I couldnt wait until the big 3 era was over and, to use the words of Mario Chalmers “ that guy” being gone because he was a bit of a bad influence with his laziness and demand of being babied, especially when things got tough.

The heat are about to play in their third back-to-back this season. Despite two losses in a row, there has been a great deal of effort on the second nights so far - dont think we would see that last season. After a couple of days off, I expect us to play well in these next two games. Not predicting wins or losses, just good performances and effort on both ends.

Yep winning 2 titles and going to 4 straight titles....Such a bad influence

I don't care for Lebron anymore but let's not make it seem like he had such a bad influence on a team who all they did was make finals

Yep winning 2 titles and going to 4 straight titles.

My answer to that, as it always has been, when you claim your going to win not 5, not 6, not 7 and you only win 2... its a total failure - unless he meant they werent going to win that many??

Spoelstra confirms Haslem and Granger will be in uniform, with Haslem likely to make his season debut.
Erik Spoelstra on Danny Granger (hamstring) who has yet to play this season, "If I don't have to play him, I won't."

 

[Paolo305613]

Birdman and Hamilton inactive. Same starters. UD and Granger active

 

[Paolo305613]

If the game gets out of hand one way or another, maybe Granger gets PT... Lets hope it gets out of hand in favor of the Heat

Anyone who took Lebron serious when he said is an idiot.

If you can read between the lines, all he basically said that day is that the goal/expectation each year was to win the title as it should be when you have a roster like that....But from a fans point of view I never expected to win every year.

Repeating is hard enough.

Hate when my league pass doesn't give me the Heat commentators

Kevin Martin=BBQ chicken for D-Wade

 

[bksballer89]

Nice to see Cole hittting 2 early jumpshots

 

[bksballer89]

That was beautiful by Wade

 

[Paolo305613]

Good ball movement earliy resulting in assist and points - something missing last couple games.

UD in the game

 

[Paolo305613]

Instant of

I think those 2 days off which likely included film & a practice or 2 probably helped them get back to the wonderful ball movement.

UD looking good

 

[Paolo305613]

UD = Instant offense

 

[Paolo305613]

The challenge for the Heat is now to be able to keep their foot on the gas for 48 minutes

 

[bksballer89]

Nice to see Deng hitting the 3 ball

 

[Paolo305613]

Hope Deng stays healthy forever - the guy plays hard until the bitter end

 

[bksballer89]

9 points & 5 assist for Cole

 

[Paolo305613]

Solid start for Heat. If they can tighten up the defense - their lead will increase even more .
