I think our players effort had a lot to do with it.

Effort wise one of their best, if not their best performance thus far

This explains the difference in Whiteside attitude on the bench last night.

Pretty good advice from Wade. He should take on similar advice for himself, dominate, otherwise don't complain.

ASK IRA: Did Monday's victory offer Heat a blueprint?

Wade attitude on the bench never been an issue

True dat. The issue is on the court

He can't post until January

@Andresrenee we miss you brother

Why can't he post until January? What did he do?

Made a bad bet with me

I got to look for it. I doubt he's back next season. He is a head case

I am beginning to come to this conclusion. I think Whiteside gets a max offer somewhere and signs it. He isnt a max guy. He is a double double machine and blocks tons of shots. But if we pay him a lot...then this is it. This our team. No money left. We are dragic, wade, bosh, and whiteside. That ain't good enough to win titles.

He doesn't deserve a max deal. His post game is not good enough. I'll give him at most 14-16 mill yearly. Not going higher than that. Whoever give him a max deal would be stupid considering his offense is still a work in progress

Lets talk it up

They still have a team in Miami? I thought Lebron was taking it to Cleveland?

Lord knows the Lakers are on the border of disappearing while Kobe bows out.

Rumors are quickly gathering around Howard being unhappy in Houston and the Heat being a suitor. Thing is, it's being reported that this doesn't make sense for Riley to pull as Howard's best days are behind him. Barry Jackson mentioned Cousins, but we'd have to give up McRoberts, Winslow, as well as Whiteside. I say hell no given that Cousins is a headcase and Winslow has star potential.

Then again, maybe having Boogie down here wouldn't be so bad.

 

[Paolo305613]

Hassan has a lot of growing up to do as a person or player - 23 games into this season - and potentially his first full season on an NBA roster as a relevant player - Now is not the time to even be worrying about his contract status. Let the season play out - lets see what he shows and take it from there.

Heat stumble onto formula for success with Dwyane Wade, Goran Dragic

I agree with you. He isn't worth it. I will bet my house Pat Riley agrees with us on this. But all it takes is one Stan Van Gundy desperate for a center... and the dude is a max contract guy. Reggie Jackson is 5 years 80 million because of one desperate Stan Van Gundy. I think someone out there offers it and we are going to lose Whiteside for nothing.

Yeah no doubt some stupid team will offer him 4 yr/80+ mil

Heat rumor whirlwind: Whiteside, Cousins, Dwight . . . oh my
