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

The latest Ask Ira asking if the scrubs lack of production is a concern? It is neither a concern or surprised. He is just old, overrated, overvalued and overused. The end of the season can’t get here soon enough so he can be gone. If only Spo had the balls to remove him out of the rotation and lineup and put UD out there, who was among 4 players who played less than Shane last night in garbage time and still had better stats.

This should make all the Heat/LBJ apologist happy -

The Queen LBJ, could possibly sidelined by his ankle “injury” of which he recovered enough from after a few minutes and returned to the game before getting removed when the game was in hand.

Once he came back he looked good enough to play so he is obviously just being a bitch now - Lets see what the queen does tomorrow.

Everyone knows you feel the effect of ankle injuries more the day after which is the reason he said he came back in last night because he knew if he sat down on the bench long it would swell up.

I'm pretty sure he will play unless his ankle is really bad tomorrow. Calling LBJ a queen shows how retarded you are considering that other than LBJ missing games in April when our playoff seeding is already wrapped up. Excluding those games, I will be shocked if LBJ missed more than 5 games in the months of October-March in his 3+ years with Miami

Man, Paolo you sure love to talk out the side of your mouth. If you knew anything about sports injuries (which you don't), you'd realize that when you roll/sprain your ankle its best to stay on your ankle and walk around to prevent it from swelling. This is why Lebron came back in the game. Afterwards, his ankle probably swelled up where it makes him a lot less mobile. But continue to bitch about players on the Heat like they owe you something.

I knew that comment would make the apologist come out in full force

ASK IRA: Would Pacers bragging rights count for anything?

Latest Ask Ira on the importance of this game, which - As any game, is very important.

 

[Paolo305613]

Joe Crawford, Derrick Collins, Josh Tiven you referees for tonight's Heat-Pacers, 7 p.m., AmericanAirlines Arena (Sun Sports, ESPN)

 

[Paolo305613]

LeQueen did not participate in shootaround and will be a game-time decision. Michael Beasley still out

 

[Paolo305613]

Birdman is back, though

 

[bksballer89]

In his 3+ yrs with Miami please tell us how many games LBJ missed in the months of October-March

 

[bksballer89]

For your sake I hope LBJ,Wade, and Bosh all leave so this team can get back to winning 15-30 games yearly....I'm sure you prefer to see your teams lose 45+ games yearly instead of contending for a title.

Ill take 15-30 wins a year and a roster full of guys that will actually go out there and give it every thing they got game in and game out as opposed to a bunch of divas.

 

[Paolo305613]

The winning of championships has been great, the sense of entitlment by the Queen and the Diva, not so much. Bosh is not included because he is not like them personality wise, he actually plays hard despite his stats some times. His efforts are not to be questioned. Aside from settling for shots every once in a while, he usually plays hard. Settling for shots is part of the teams DNA especially when the two divas do it most.

Paolo, you are such a tool. How can you call LBj a queen? The guy never misses games. He hurt his ankle, if he is missing this game its because he is in pain. You might not know much about spraining an ankle, but when you sprain one, it hurts the next couple days and you cant walk on it..

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Anybody know where I can find the most up to date injury info...particularly on LBJ?

In a sport where it is not 6 months long and 82 games and you get fined for resting players I would agree.

 

[Paolo305613]

Call me a tool if you wish - But, he is a queen and plays and acts like one many times of which we have seen recently.

 

[Paolo305613]

Sadly, the NBA or NBA writers dont make detailed injury reports like in the NFL - But, when it comes to the Heat, unless you have visual proof of an injury, you shouldnt believe it - A lot of times they make shit up to justify sitting a guy out.

LeQueen just tweeted out threatening he might miss the game.

Frank Vogel may not be on the bench with his team as he has suffered some food poisoning

 

[Paolo305613]

LeQueen will play, now lets see how he performs and if he gets babied throughout the game with his minutes.
