    Correction. He can shoot the **** out of it when he sees a Heat uniform. He is the co-captain of the RSHK all-stars.

    RSHK All-Time....All-Star Team:

    PG- Patty Mills
    SG- Marcus Thornton
    SG - Jamal Crawford
    PF - Ian Mahinmi
    C - Kelly Olynck

    Your 2nd sentence tells me why your first sentence is untrue. If no one goes to Boston willingly and you know it, I know it...you dont think Daryl Morrey knows it? Boston has a ton of picks coming to them the next few years...cant use em all. I can definitely see at least some, if not a major asset, being used to accomplish a trade like this.

    There are a lot of things that Daryl Morey doesn't know.

    Daryl Morey is the Houston GM. Why would he care about Danny Ainge's delusions about luring Free Agents to Boston?

    He wouldnt outside of their negotiations and to posture for more of a return.

    You watching what Curry is doing and Westbrook has a chance for a 20-20-20 game....Jesus these dudes are putting up better lines then Vegas tonight.

    Heat are now 9-1 vs. Mark Cuban in the last 10 meetings. LOL

    STAT with 4 Blocks!
    Wade turned into Wade in the second half.
    Whiteside dominated.
    Bosh was magnificent.
    Luol Deng was clutch.

    On the deciding play, Mavs ran a 1-4 Pick and Roll on Winslow and Bosh. LMFAO. Yeah good luck with that. Gonna need Steph Curry and the Ghost of Larry Bird to pull that off.

    Result: Dirk couldn't shake Winslow to get the ball...and Bosh pushed Felton back to 30 feet and forced him into a prayer. Awesome.

    BOSH SHOULD BE first Team All-NBA and get DPOY votes. Period. Winslow as a rookie needs to make a all-NBA defensive team.

    This kid is 19 years old! and he is guarding every team's best player in the clutch every game.

    FUN win. that's 5 of 6, with 4 of those wins on the road..let's finish up strong before the break.

    Damn, Curry just abused my poor Wizards last night. Strange game, we missed like 10 easy layups which of course GS immediately rebounded and turned into an easy 3 on the other end lol. The game was actually fairly close at some points but everytime we got it down to like 6 Steph hit a demoralizing 3 and put the team back down. Unless teams go old school and start mugging GS's backcourt (and the refs let them) I just don't see anyone beating them.

    Wall had a great game last night, he was amazing. If our roster wasn't filled with bench scrubs around Wall we could make some noise in the East.

    Yeah I'm wondering if Kerr shouldn't be required to remove Steph from the game whenever they get ahead by 5 points. Otherwise they might be require to change the franchise name to the Golden State Bullies. That is, if Curry wasn't such a nice guy.

    It's just not fair. #cheatmode

    Then again, maybe they should just implement Black Jack rules. Too many points and you lose. :)

    There is a way to beat Golden State. Problem is that you have to combine at least two teams to do it.

    Miami with Cleveland or Miami with San Antonio.

    Miami Perimeter defense with Cavs or Spurs offense.

    Season is over...just waiting on an injury to see if anybody else has a chance.

    Spurs offense this year or last? Their offensive numbers have taken a knock but their defense has improved. Or are you thinking matchups?

    Who would be your starting 5/6?

    I would think if it were Miami/Cleveland, then Kyrie, Wade, Lebron, Love, Bosh. Of course with the other 4, maybe you leave Kyrie as 6th man and let Delly play PG with the starters. :shifty:

    Spurs-Heat would be deadly:

    Parker, Wade, Kawhi, Aldridge, Bosh. Use Dragic, Duncan, Winslow, Ginobli, Hassan, Deng for matchups.

    Cavs-Heat: Kyrie, Wade, Bron, Love, Bosh. That is ultra tough right there.

    In the pregame they mentioned that Steph hasn't played in the 4th quarter in like 12 games and in other a handful of other games has played like 5-6 minutes in the 4th. So he's basically averaging what he's averaging in 3.5 quarters or something stupid like that. You can literally see how demoralized teams are when they whittle away at a big lead to get it down to like 5 and then GS pops off 8 pts in like 20 seconds of play. The team just submits and tries to keep it close in order to not be humiliated. Barring a serious injury you might as well call the season right now.

    Want to just pretend the real champion is the winner of the ECF so we can have a Heat vs Cavs Finals?

    Chris Bosh is officially in the 3 point shootout to help carry Heat's reputation in that competition.

    Nah....although it could be forward thinking if the Heat like Conley in the offseason...but nah..Heat has to be really happy with what they have now on the front line with the emergence of Amare, and the return of Hassan and McBob..

    Heat have the most 3 pt. championships:

    Champs:
    Glen Rice 95'
    Jason Kapono 07'
    Daequan Cook 09'
    James Jones 11'

    Bosh should be a huge underdog, so the price will be nice.

    Well another option under that scenario would be to try and flip Hassan for a replacement PG or a wing player with more long term value. Whiteside is for sure a better rim protector then Monroe but Bosh as we know is a pretty good defender and can play the 5. Monroe is a much better post player and offensive player overall. It could make more sense that way hypothetically speaking of course.

    That is my finals. I really wouldn't care what happened after as long as we (Heat) win.

    Though reading what Section wrote, perhaps we should consider joining forces.

    Be sort of interesting to see the Heat go the opposite of the rest of the league - everyone getting smaller and faster. Heat could grind people down with half-court sets and size. Bosh and Monroe - not a lot of teams could matchup vs two bigs like that. And Bosh can still space out enough that it wouldn't clog the lane w Monroe. Add shooting around them and watch teams try to defend that.

    Also makes the team significantly younger.

    EDIT - Forgot Monroe only signed for 3 yrs and the last yr is a player option. Probably doesn't make sense for the Heat, then - unless you're trying to get out from under Dragic's deal and open up space down the road.

    True. Bosh seems like the x-factor. He can guard anyone. He'd probably be the best corner on the Dolphins if he wanted.
