Game Thread: Miami Heat week 3 Game Thread

[Andresrenee]

Avalon --- who the hell is going to take Cole, Chalmers, Andersen, etc? The only players we have with any real trade value are Wade, Bosh, McRoberts and Deng. You won't get anything for them of equal value. BK - you don't have to honor our bet. I want you on the boards the week after next. We are currently sitting as the 7th seed in the league and after tomorrow will be 9th. These two losses at home against the Pacers and Bucks will hurt later.

The phrase “ getting his head out of his ass” has been used a lot tonight it seems - so I will use it once - Hopefully Wade now can get his head out of his ass and not sit out games so much, especially early in the season - unless he has a really debilitating injury, which he doesnt. I know the apologist on here will say/ask if I would prefer to see him get seriously injured? of course not... But as I have always said, injuries are apart of the game - they are going to happen at some point, no matter how many things you do right - just ask Derrick Rose.


Unless seriously injured - He needs to play, even if it means limited minutes or as a reserve - his presence is necessary at the very least - especially when we are already short-handed.

10 games into the season with a road game against Brooklyn coming and a home game against the Clippers coming, does anybody see us as anything better than a 7th seed in the East. Seriously....

 

[Andresrenee]

How appropriate to end the game. An air ball. CB needs to regroup. Thought he was mentally stronger. 10 points 5 rebounds and 5 blocks with 2 of 17 shooting. This is pathetic.

 

[Andresrenee]

Outscored in 8 straight second halves on the coaches. Not making the right adjustments. Perhaps, silly to have gotten rid of the veteran coaches.

Comical and amaziing, yet no surprising how people now are so worried about seeding this early in the season when they neglected the importance of it so many times in the last few seasons - again, speaks to the mentality of this fan base - no one buys into it unless the team is winning consistently and unless there are big name/noticeable names up and down the roster.

Got outscored 26-13 in that quarter at home against the freaking Bucks.

The Bucks have improved from last season.

I really don't get the criticisim of Chalmers. The guy has been one of the Heat best players this year. I'll say he & Williams have both been better than deng. He still have his brain farts but he's been really good.

I agree with your first sentence....far too early to even think about playoffs seeding.

That is the last thing on my mind. I just want to see this team completely healthy to see how they play

 

[Paolo305613]

Mario Chalmers: 18 points and 5 assists
Shawne Williams: 13 points and 11 rebounds
Luol Deng: 10 points and 6 rebounds
Chris Bosh: 10 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks
Shabazz Napier: 10 points and 5 rebounds

Yes, more from Bosh is needed - But we also need more from everyone else - Making FTs would have helped so much. Our team FTs shooing should be more concerning than anything else. If we make our FTs, what we got from these guys would have been good enough.

We often disagree - which I enjoy greatly - But you know there is no such thing as completely healthy - that becomes even more true as the season goes on. Injuries are/will be a factor, but we cant allow it to be an excuse all the time.

Yes...this team no longer has the luxury of the best player in the world. They need to step up and play. Still plenty of season and we have not had our full roster but 10% of the season has already passed and Granger has missed all of the games, McRoberts more than half the games, and Wade 20% of the games. I am cringing as to what Lopez and Williams might do to us tomorrow.

 

[Andresrenee]

What really stinks is that we had two very mediocre and poor road teams come into our house and play poorly and beat us. Other teams in our conference have had more significant injuries and are doing just fine.

 

[Flauge]

watching football all day. missed the game. looking at the box score it looks ugly. reading the comments in here seem to confirm that.

 

[Paolo305613]

THIS!

This should serve as the best point that while having injuries may be a fact - they SHOULD NOT be an excuse.

A tip of the cap to you for that.

Because they have more complete teams and what teams are you speaking about? The only teams I can think of are Washington who is without beal & Chicago who is without rose every other game and both of those teams are better than us 1-15

 

[bksballer89]

This is a flawed roster so we need everything to go right to be a good team

 

[Andresrenee]

I will give Bosh credit for owning his poor play....hope he comes back strong the next two games.

 

[bksballer89]

What did he say?

 

[Andresrenee]

the loss is on me...
