This will be a fun and difficult opponent for the Heat. The Pistons are on the rise with some solid young guns up front

[Paolo305613]

I think, as usual and as only he can, KoMe Bryant made a selfish move in his recent contract agreement with the Fakers… I dont expect such a move from the big 3, at least not from Bosh or Wade… LBJ is the wildcard.

Bosh is going to get destroyed by Monroe and Drummond

Bosh is going to get destroyed by Monroe and Drummond

We shall see

Miami Heat, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade commentary - Sun Sentinel

Latest Ask Ira - This time the topic is the team concern of rebounding. He may not rebound at a high rate anymore, but surely the rebounding would be better if we had UD in the starting lineup. He is the only guy with a rebounding first mentality on this roster - Though as someone stated in this Q&A Beasley is now playing with that same mentality as his way of trying to earn more minutes. This is why it is always dumb to have such a useless scrub like Shane over UD who all he does is make lucky 3’s and commit constant silly fouls. Bring UD back and watch us improve in this category instantly. Oden will help in due time as well.

Spo says Wade will not play tonight - That should make everyone happy.

This stuff wont piss me off as much anymore. This stuff will just make me laugh from now on, especially after some tweets I have read in recent days sent to Ira Winderman by Heat “fans” suggesting LBJ, Wade and Bosh not play the rest of the regular season until the playoffs. People here really think making the playoffs is a given. This is why I cant wait for this era to be over… It makes people dumb and think guys dont have to work hard to get to their goals, we owe it to our top two divas who dont always work as hard as they could and should.

Spo says Wade is “ sore” according to Ira

 

[Paolo305613]

Knicks and Nets falling apart already - being reported that JKidd has fired Lawerence Frank for “ difference in philosophy” Reporter jokes that Frank was not willing to bump into Kidd and that led to this move being made. Seems Frank will remain with the team in some capacity, though.

Enjoy the laugh

 

[Paolo305613]

Your starters: Chalmers, James Jones(For Wade), Lebron James, Shane Battier(For Udonis Haslem), Chris Bosh

Spo says Wade is “ sore” according to Ira

"Sore" from their last meeting

 

[bksballer89]

If sitting out Wade every few weeks until his knee is 100% will mean he will be healthy in May and June, I am 100% behind this

 

[Paolo305613]

Burning question of the night - Will CB be able to build off his late minute surge from last game or will he be inconsistent again.

 

[bksballer89]

no

 

[Paolo305613]

If Shane is gonna guard and be guarded by Monroe, he will be severly raped tonight, as usual

 

[Paolo305613]

EReid ask coach Fiorentino how will a smaller Battier guard Monroe?” He will have to prevent him from getting so deep down low as he just did” Good luck with that Shane.

Yet another slow start
