Game Thread: Miami Heat NBA Finals Series Thread

[Paolo305613]

Heat looking for ways to be able to sign Carmelo Anthony - The big 3 will have to opt out and restructure the contracts big time - Also, as I mentioned earlier, it would help if the useless scrub shane battier would pay the Heat back the salary he made go to waste over 3 seasons so that the organization can better itself.

Is Carmelo Anthony a legitimate Miami Heat option? - Sun Sentinel

 

[Andresrenee]

Recipe for Heat success is quite simple. Lebron and Wade must play 40 focused minutes and must play well if not great on both sides of the floor. Involve Bosh more as he has an advantage in this one. X the Jones experiment and if Lewis is not hitting 60 plus percent from the field then you need Shane in because he is a better perimeter defender against this match. Spolestra should not be hard headed and needs to give Lebron rests and breaks a late in 1st and 3rd quarters. We can still take if we execute but need to play better. Also, it would not hurt if Chalmers does not suck again.

Skip Bayless on LeBron James and intangibles - ESPN

 

[Paolo305613]

Skip is right for once - If there is anything missing from LBJ and the Heat as a whole, minus a few guys is the intangibles. The Heat arent doing the little things and that is why they are down in this series and why they have lost in embarasing fashion each time and gotten away with the one win they got.

 

[Paolo305613]

hen you need Shane in because he is a better perimeter defender against this match.

Everything you had said in that post was right for once - but you had to ruin it with this line. Scrub Battier is an overrated player, especially on defense - he plays no defense - unless you call his dirty fouls against the bigger, stronger, better guys he tries to defend, defense. Scrub battier is not needed - if the Heat want to win like they are capable of, they need to deactivate scrub battier

 

[Paolo305613]

Well, it looks like Spo will be a coward again going against his own words claiming he wnats more depth -- Michael Beasley again inactive - Rashard Lewis starting again, Justin Hamilton also inactive - Greg Oden active

 

[Paolo305613]

LBJ and Wade kick it out way too much after driving inside - finish it off with a bucket inside - don’t pass up a dunk or layup for a weak jumper

 

[Andresrenee]

Spurs just look better. Lebron looks lost and defeated. Wade can't make a shot and is not focused on simple things like guarding his guy or blocking out. Could be Spurs in 5. Embarrassing.

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat need a new voice in pre-game/post-game and half-time huddles, that being UD or Allen or Bosh... Listening to LBJ is old and is not work - he just blows smoke and doesnt deliver... he just settles

 

[Paolo305613]

Its not a surprise that there was a spark for the team when UD came in - He needs to play more and as I said, so does Beasley and JJ - they will save the serious -- too much scrub battier

 

[Paolo305613]

In a sense, the fact that the Heat will be going down 3-1 is the best thing that could happen to them - This will show just how much the two divas care for the better of the team and how big of balls Spo has... I have been saying this from the start, no reason for at least LBJ to not be able to play 48 minutes of every game in this series...Any time you sit LBJ its like your quitting. He needs to play 48 minutes of every remaining game until the series is over.

This is the best reason why the Heat being down 3-1 is a good thing , it will test Spo and LBJ to see how much they are willing to sacrifice... but we know not to hold our breath there... these guys sat out of games they shouldnt have, whose to say they won’t half ass in the finals as they have.

Rest assured that if in the next game(s) LBJ has a single minute of rest, the Heat will lose

 

[Paolo305613]

Spo waits til the game is over to go to UD, JJ and Oden ... They dont score in bunches but they can score and make a difference - plus the points they are not allowing themselves to get from Beas

 

[Andresrenee]

No matter what....great ride! It is not over..... a set back is a set up for a come back....

You poor deluded bastard

 

[Paolo305613]

Another silver-lining to being down 3-1 and this series being almost over - The Heat being eliminated in embarrassing fashion(4-1) is EXACTLY how a scrub like battier deserve to be sent off into retirement. There was no way we could allow that piece of garbage rob us of another championship ring while he hurts our team with his uselessness. We should all celebrate and parade when we lose this series as if we won it because it is the appropriate sent off for scrub battier.. the useless scrub deserves to go out this way.

 

[Paolo305613]

Was Thursday a coaching loss for Erik Spoelstra, Miami Heat? - Sun Sentinel

The only thing you can blame Spo for is for playing scrub battier too much and not enough JJ , UD and Beasley . JJ played just 3 minutes and he outscored Diva Wade 11-10 5 turnovers again between the two divas. Rest assured that if Beasley is not active in the next game and JJ, UD and Beasley dont make early apperances in the game and have to sit on the bench in favor of scrub battier we will lose the series .

 

[Paolo305613]

Also sad that people continue to try to give LBJ a pass by saying he isnt getting enough help. He isnt doing enough himself , and really his play is hurtig the team more than the lack of production elsewhere. But if he is such a voice on the team and such a leader, and he wants more help he needs to tell Spo to play UD, JJ and Beas more - those guys will give you points, versatility on offense and defense.

really? Outside of garbage time, Jones was 0-5 with 4 personal fouls and shoddy defense in less than 10 minutes. Obviously, you don't get it. Oh, and the last two finals that we won, we had a different starter.,,coincidence? Probably not.....you will miss him when he is gone...!!
