The Official Miami Heat Return to the Playoffs Thread.

Too quick fin..too quick...it doesn;t allow for situational subs....

one call to the scorers table per quarter.

in and out ..ina nd out...doesnt; help the team.

If anything..SPO is letting Beasley finish alot of games lately. Beasley is being brought up fine.

 

you don't want to know.


let's move on...philly lost.

 

In case you guys missed it...

D. Wade on TNT..with Charles and Kenny...a little while back....but they got a couple of his highlight dunks on there...

well....BYE BYE DETROIT. LOL!!!!

we played pretty bad though.

 

It's psychological.

teams missing players play really hard. we are a team that struggles on the glass and when you have a team that plays that hard and beats you that bad on the glass...you get a close game.

 

BTW, I figured out one of our problems....

Our perimeter defense has been great all year. Chalmers perimeter defense has been really bad since the all-star break and he is setting guards loose on our big people, and they are having to fill the lane and thus leave the boards unattended.

Part of our problem is Chalmers hitting the rookie wall, defensively. forget the gaudy stats he puts up.

 

well...we did have that game won in BOSTON. and lost in overtime...against Rondo and Pierce.

So I would argue that we did.

But in the short run...teams missing their stars play extremely hard and the refs let them get away with more, so they end up forcing close games.

 

I agree with that..although our transition Defense has been decent all year. even better than our championship year's transition D.

as for spot up shooters...

we got Moon, Jones, and Cook. that is more than enough spot up shooters.

 

Couldn't disagree more. Jones had a broken wrist for most of the year...remember.

Beasley is a Power Forward. Spo thinks so. Riley thinks so. and my source thinks so as well.

he is the Power Forward next year.

 

I guess you missed that JO scored 4 out of our last 6 points.

BTW..why do you "hate" JO? he has been playing pretty damn good for us lately.

 

you either sign Amare in 2010 or you will have no luck in looking for somebody to compete with Howard.

that guy doesn't exist.

 

Chris Bosh doesn't go toe to toe with anybody.

He is a fill em up Power Forward. Just like Beasley.

In other words...we already have Bosh...except that it will take a little time for him to get to that point.

I am thinkling more along the lines of getting a star Small Forward and defensive center in 2010.

Like a Joe Johnson and Tyson Chandler combo.

this lineup is young and would win at least 3 championships:

Chalmers
Wade
Johnson
Beasley
Chandler

by that time, Beasley will be 20/10 and Chalmers will be a 15/7 PG.

 

BTW...it is SCARY to me...how much Mario Chalmers reminds me of a young Chauncey Billups.

DOWNRIGHT SCARY.

the championships are gonna rain down on us pretty soon.

 

I couldn't disagree more...that is not Bosh's game.

Beasley is a Power Forward. Unless you get Riley's job and then fire SPO..you are not gonna see Beasley at the 3 in the near future.

 

We looked pretty bad against Detroit...and still won...so go figure.

it was our defense and we couldn;t buy a shot for most of the game.

most of it was correctable.

Beasley played a pretty bad game..so the margin of victory was hurt by it.

He plays his regular game...we win by double digits.

But...you guys have to remember...we are a VERY young team. we count on too many rookies and young players. We ARE SUPPOSED to be BAD on the road.

This goes with the territory. But we are a helluva basketball team at home. that is the tradeoff.

 

FG's....Field Goals. You know what I meant. haslem hit 4 free throws with .6 to play after the foul and the double tech on Curry after he ran onto the court.

here it is:

O'Neal Jump Shot: Made (12 PTS)
Assist: Moon (1 AST) 1:11
[MIA 93-91]
0:54
[DET 93-93] Prince Hook Shot: Made (14 PTS)
Haslem Jump Shot: Missed 0:38
O'Neal Rebound (Off:2 Def:1) 0:37
O'Neal Tip Shot: Made (14 PTS) 0:36
[MIA 95-93]

He made 2 out of the last 3 FG's. He gave us 2 leads inside the last minute almost! LOL.

He....WON the ****ing game for ****s sake.

he hit a god damn 18 foot shot with 1 second on the shot clock..and he crashed the board to put back haslems miss to give us the lead for the second time inside of ONE minute. and nooo that was not goaltending.

We LOSE if not for him.


and btw..your memory of what happened is a little cloudy. He did not leave hermann "open". He had to close out on a guy that wasn;t even supposed to be his. he guards the paint for ****s sake...not the 3 point line.

why not blame him for the Hindenburg blowing up?

and he was 6-16. not 5-16. why was it even necessary to say he was "5-16" (he was 6-16) He was 2-2 by my count to win the game.

he did not drop the pass from the inbound. look at it again.. bad pass.

and so what...Maxxiel is 6'-7"....he is also 260 pounds...Wade is 6'-4" and he had 4 blocks.

I don;t mind getting on him for whatever reason..but you are hating on him for the sake of hating on him.

expecially...since he won the ****ING game!
