Did someone say we were going to lose this one? Yeah. Okay... fucking idiot

 

[PPhan]

I swear man, Vucevic is always at his best against us.

 

[Flauge]

Good good good win. Bosh is the man. 32/10. Vucevic was amazing tonight. Bosh should dominate him. Couldnt. But we win.

You see the size of our team?

I remember 2 years ago there were rumors going around that we could've gotten Vucevic straight up for Rio.

Now the focus shifts to tomorrow night and whether Wade can get rid of the vaginal aches before tip off tomorrow night. Another division game after a bounce back win tonight. Heat did some good things, especially with the young guys and being short-handed

i dont remember those rumors.. but damn that is horrible we passed on that. 2 years ago we had lebron, norris, wade and miller.. all could handle the ball. chalmers was certainly expendable.

Rumor: Heat 'feverishly' tried to trade Chalmers for Vucevic in 2012 - CBSSports.com

Is Birdman old or disinterested? He hasn't been the same this season. -- Clifford.

A: No, he hasn't, and at times it's very noticeable. I don't think it's a matter of having grown content (at least I would hope that is not the case). Perhaps it's a matter of working back from the rib injury the first week of the season. Perhaps it's being 36. But this team has precious little rim deterrence outside of Chris Andersen, and if he's not playing as a last line of defense, then the Heat often can be defenseless in the middle. But let's face it, the Heat got themselves into a tough position when they basically offered a makeup contract to Andersen for $10 million over two years after he played the previous two seasons at the minimum. In a way, it is similar to the money being spent on Udonis Haslem. The reality is that if Andersen can't offer something in the defensive paint, then the Heat will have to act. I'm not saying it's time to make a move for a Joel Anthony type, but there has to come a time when the Heat make an unemotional, and non-financial, assessment on Andersen. Or, of course, start getting more out of him.


Q: I thought Josh McRoberts was going to bring a "unique" skill set of a big man with excellent passing, outside shooting, as well as being durable. I have not seen any of these yet. I'm not giving up on him so early, but is it time to expect more? -- David, Plantation.

A: Considering he missed all of training camp, then had the blister issue recently, I think he's still trying to find a way, trying to get in rhythm. There was one point during the first half Saturday when he passed up an open 15-foot jumper to instead pass to Andersen for a 15-foot jumper. Another time he passed the ball through his legs and out of bounds between the legs of James Ennis. Look, this might not be the answer you want to hear, but considering what the Heat invested in McRoberts, they have to make it work. The irony is that the Hornets, who face the Heat on Sunday, could dearly use McRoberts as a catalyst, as he was last season in their drive to the playoffs. Instead, the Hornets signed Marvin Williams to replace McRoberts. It was interesting how Erik Spoelstra spoke of wanting to get McRoberts more time on Thursday against the Clippers, then utilized him for only 5:14 against the Magic.

Q: Norris Cole's dislocated middle left finger came while flexing it at LeBron James. -- Richard.

A: Actually, Cole might be among the last players to have that attitude toward LeBron. In fact, he might make sense as potential upgrade to the Cavaliers' backcourt. Oh, and he is represented by LeBron's agent, Rich Paul.

Who made the NBA schedule? By next monday night we would have played 6 back to back sets a month into the season? Ridiculous

 

[bksballer89]

Wade and Cole is out again

I blame the Heat coaching staff for how long guys take to comeback from injuries. They're way too cautious and baby these guys. It's ridiculous.

Same shit they did with Granger and McRoberts.

 

[bksballer89]

I'm just going to approach every game like Wade is not in the lineup.

No need to be disappointed everytime I hear he is out

The problem is not them taking long to get guys back - the problem is pussies like Wade just choosing not to play

The problem is not them taking long to get guys back - The problem is pussies like Wade just choosing not to play. But, I know you like giving the guy a pass so that you can blame the coaches(Spo) -- ignorance makes taking that approach so much easier, huh?

A player cannot choose not to play. If he's going through practices and shootarounds and the staff think he can give it a go they would have him out there and the player would not have a say....it's the reasons they have trainers on every nba team.

Not choosing to play is something you can be fined and/or suspended for.

Saying he's choosing not to play is dumb. The staff is the issue here as they treat all the injured players like 5 yr old children.

Look how long they took to bring back McRoberts, Granger, & UD from really minor injuries.

They're way too cautious

Not blaming Spo at all. This is a top of the organization issue more than it is a Spo issue.

 

[Paolo305613]

Bosh has to go inside. I will keep saying it. I dont care about his jump shot ability - he is usless if he doesnt attempt to go inside

 

[bksballer89]

Go watch the dolphins game.

Don't come in here until that game is done.

I'll talk to myself until then
