dont blame the officials for our stupid play last night

We better re-sign him.

 

And the officiating was TERRIBLE last night. Not the reason we lost... I blame that on coaching because the team was as flat as can be. Both teams were.

 

EDIT: We ****ing suck... starting with our coaching staff.

 

Nothing disturbs me more than the ball being in Haslem's hands in a crucial moment.

Jesus Christ he's a huge mistake waiting to happen... whether it's a turnover, travel, or AIR BALL from UNDERNEATH the basket.

 

Wade is God.

 

HOLY ****... I've never seen Wade this hyped in his career. Not even the NBA finals.

 

Wade screaming "This is my mother****ing house"

 

I also dont want to see KrypotNate get angry....thats when he starts playing like an out of control idiot. I love watching Nate but sometimes all you can is ------>.

 

Wow... did any of you guys hear SPOELSTRA cuss on Sun Sports post game?

When asked about making any adjustments in the 4th Q, he said,

"I simplified the offense after the skirmish. I told the guys, give the ball to Dwyane and get the **** out of the way."

 

wade looked like a man possessed after that.

now we just gotta hope someone pops him in the face for us to win

 

Agreed with this. I really don't understand why Haslem gets so much flak. Remember two seasons ago when Riley called his number to shoot the game-winning FG in a game against (I think) the Bulls? When people use the phrase "he does everything that's asked of him," they're talking about Haslem.

 

With Haslem, we have to deal with his weak points. Offense is not his strong suite. We need to understand and deal with it, because he will never be a main option on offense, just shoot if hes open. if he makes it great, if not, well, he had better get the Re. Hes a good rebounder and a good(not great) defensive player, and well, hes pretty much a good role player that is a good piece to have around.

 

I preordered a JO Mcfarlane figure and he's in his Raptors uni...

 

pretty much what i was saying, but offense is just not the strong part of his game. Sure, sometimes he catches fire and hits that jumpshot, but most of the time i would not look to Udon to make a shot when the shotclock is winding down, even from point-blank range.

 

Saying offense isn't a part of his game is saying he's bad at offense. Section is saying Haslem is good on offense, he's just so low on the totem pole--because why would you take the ball away from guys like Wade, Beasley, and JO in the first place?--that he rarely gets offensive touches.

This is like saying catching the ball isn't really part of a #4 WR's game. If he couldn't catch, he wouldn't be a WR. Unless his name was Derek Hagan.

 

I love Udonis Haslem. What I dislike is the fact that we actually attempt to put the ball in his hands and ask him to make a play. It's not his fault. It's the coach and the team's fault. He should never be asked to make a play on offense. Hit the wide open jump shot... put up a shot in the paint when you're at an advantage... fine. But why on earth is he sometimes asked to create his own shot? He has no ability in that sense. It stuns the living crap out of me every time he puts the ball on the floor looking to make a move. You just know something bad is about to happen. That's all I'm saying.

 

No question.

 

Yup.

 

Dammit. Every single freaking time I go on vacation I miss out on a monster Wade performance.. Does anyone have a link to the 4th quarter?

I was on vacation when he scored the last 17 against the Pistons a few years ago... ARGGGGGGGHHHHHH.

 

D-Wade is 20 blocks short of the most blocks in a single season by a player 6'4 or shorter.

He's truly something special. Often times the media gets into this frenzy about his PPG, but man, are his numbers complete or what? I was just taking an overall glance at his numbers... amazing.

29.0 PPG (48.6%)
7.4 APG
5.0 RPG
2.1 SPG
1.4 BPG

And although 3.4 TPG might be regarded as a lot, it's his lowest turnover count since his rookie season in a year he's carrying the biggest load of his career.

It doesn't get any better for a 6'4 guard on a team where he's the only All Star.




















FYI: A glance at LeBron's numbers:

28.3 PPG (48.8%)
7.1 APG
7.3 RPG
1.7 SPG
1.2 BPG

Wade's numbers are slightly more impressive due to the fact that he's a guard and four inches shorter with more blocked shots. The rebounds are supposed to be about that. While we're just playing the overall numbers game which means absolutely nothing... Kobe Bryant doesn't even participate in this discussion. Durant's numbers are prettier.

 

And 58 games in and the guy hasn't missed a game yet... unbelievable.

Hats off to Dwyane's conditioning coach. We owe him a year's supply of grocery shopping or something. This is a guy who couldn't stay on the court for a stretch of 15 games.

 

Dude, someone needs to beat the crap out of Wade in pre game warm ups! Dude is a monster when he's mad!
