You're an ass.....You don't fuck around with hamstring injuries. If you rush back you can tear your hammy and be done for months

Oh boo-who… there are people out there getting through life that are in much worse conditions… surely a game of basketball shouldnt be so difficult to get through

Raptors at full strength - no key players out

But to really answer your point about Wade and the “hammy” He needs to take it upon himself to do whatever he needs to in order to not allow it to be a problem - sitting out games for no reason and doing nothing wont help - He needs to get in the gym and work out and get stronger to avoid this crap

Pacers getting their ass kicked and Heat off to a slow start, of course

Powerful finish by Bosh

I blame the Heat woes lately on Battier. His retirement announcement is clearly the reason why the heat are in a bit of a funk. It looks like it has created an Alpha male power vacuum on the team. Seems like a lot of our guys lost some heart when Shane talked about retirement. It has become a distraction within the locker room and probably the very reason Wade is faking this hamstring issue. He can't deal with the pain of not playing with Shane. I am sure the reason Spoles has cut his minutes lately is the distraction he has caused with this.

I have faith in our leader Shane to get this ship right. I expect a 'win one for the gipper' moment come playoff time. Until then, it's a crap shoot. Nobody's head is right on this team right now. But you know the saying, Shane works in mysterious ways.

Beasley should really be on the lineup with that group..None of those guys can create their own shot

You are right - Scrub Battier is a distraction - He should just retire already so the Heat can add a quality 15th player to the team. They want him to retire already thats why they are struggling - they want to send Scrub Battier out in style and that would be by falling short of a title because Scrub Battier doesnt deserve to rob the Heat of another title. Maybe he needs to get injured to give the rest of the guys a boost.

great first half for lbj

 

[bksballer89]

27-9 run since we were down 10

So Spo clearly didn't learn from the 2nd quarter? This group he has out there when Lebron and Bosh are on the bench is hot trash and allowed them back in the game once again.

So Douglas is now ahead of Cole it seems

Key to this game was obviously keeping scrub battier out of it for the whole game. thats the ultimate winning formula.
