Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread for December/January

Btw, happy Goran Dragic Returns Day! 4/5 of our starting lineup is back -- it will only get better and we will continue to see what this team is capable of when healthy

Hassan may play also. There is also no reason for McRoberts to not be active since he was a full go in practice yesterday

As I had said previous times, I think Hassan will be a true GTD where we won't know his fate until just moments before tip off.

As for McRob -- I agree he should be active. Lets wait and see

I think we need to package McBob for a shooter.

Makes sense. McBob & Bird for a perimeter player

The problem is the quality of player we can get in return for those two who have provided minimal and played minimal amounts to the team to this point due to injury. Can we actually get what we need in return for those two? that is the question

So could be just about everyone but Birdman and Hassan.

Prob have a tons better chance to move Deng.

Wouldn't make sense IMO. He is our 2nd best defender. Unless the guy were trading for is capable of starting. If it is a bench player I would be highly against that move

Disagree here -- Green should play more if available -- TJ can stay odd man out unless we are in a dire situations as we were until recently.

I actually agree with you. That would be border line retarded if they stopped playing Green.

If he is available he should play - especially ahead of TJ. But we have often seen guys return from injury and still have had other guys play in front of them that probably shouldn't -- ala when Udrih came back from his first injury and we still played TJ as the backup PG for Dragic even though at the time TJ wasn't providing as much as recently.

So, hopefully G-Squared is well enough to play his normal amount so that we don't have to reach into our bench further and have to use someone we really don't need to be playing right now I.e. TJ or more so J-Rich

In other news, we have multiple all-stars down in the D-League as well. Looks like the great coaching extends down into the D-League for the Heat. How you like that, Andres? Looks like our so called non-offensive minded approach down in the D-League is working just great with these so called young and inexperienced coaches as you have bitched about.
