LBJ being a diva as always. Instead of being with the team and practicing he will find a way to get a day off from working - typical of divas on this team.

 

[Paolo305613]

Usual starters - JJ and Liggins inactive.

 

[Paolo305613]

Led by LBJ, the heat are taking horrible shots, settling and putting up weak shots expecting to get foul calls that wont come - this is why they are getting beat. You cant trust this team to think they have finally flipped the switch to get it going as they need to.

 

[Paolo305613]

Birdman needs to sit and quite possibly not play the rest of the game. He is about 2-3 steps slow on defense and being Shane Battier and committing bad fouls. Not what u need down by so much.

No defense at all

No defense at all

Understatement. They have no pulse.

 

[Paolo305613]

Scrub comes back to the game and we lose all momentum we had built getting back into the game. There is no bigger momentum killer than the scrub

 

[Paolo305613]

Now he is out so we should get back in it before the start of the 4th

 

[Paolo305613]

LBJ putting the Heat in a bigger hole with his shot selection settling for 3

 

[Paolo305613]

The not so good Cole is on tonight. We might be better off going without a real PG in this one.

 

[Paolo305613]

This is yet another unnnecessary but deserved loss.. No reason for Spo to have kept LBJ on the bench this long… shouldve been out there all along to begin with

 

[Paolo305613]

Good techs on Chalmers and Wade… No reason for them to react like that. They need to get their heads out of their ass and play better not blame the ref.Ref should just toss them both.

 

[Paolo305613]

Shouldve ejected Chalmers… All he is doing is hurting the team on both ends

 

[avalon2423]

Worst game i have seen this team play all season. Awful Awful shot selection. Terrible defense. Battier needs to have his playing time cut to almost nothing. Awful loss. We had a chance with indiana losing last two games too

 

[Paolo305613]

Well, there you have it - the Pacers loss so thats why the Heat choked this game… God forbid they take advantage of a good opportunity.


And on goes the apologist coach fiorentino making the excuses for the team

Worst game i have seen this team play all season. Awful Awful shot selection.

Judging by this statement, it would seem you havent watched very many games.

Battier needs to have his playing time cut to almost nothing

Been saying this for far too long but no one wants to admit he is a useless scrub and a disease to the entire team. Forget reducing his minutes - He shouldnt even be playing. But he is the most overvalued sports figure in the history of sports so it wont happen. The Heat are dumb. They will keep him in there till the bitter end. Thats how much they overvalue him.

Im glad the Spurs are rubbing it in on the Heat until the end… Heat earned it. More teams should do it to them.
