Built Ford Tough Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) @RicBucher Ric BucherHearing that Shane Battier is bound for the Miami Heat. Not strong enough to write a news story but no league talk of him going elsewhere. ShaneBattier Shane BattierHmmm, I may have some interesting news tomorrow. But I need a full nights sleep first..........good night! Very nice signing for the Heat. Battier is going to be the exact same kind of player that James Posey was for the Celtics during their NBA Championship back in 08. Anybody who saw the Celtics that season knows just how valuable Posey was off of the bench for that team, especially in the playoffs. A Wade, James, Battier and Chalmers perimeter defense is going to be incredible to watch. Teams are going to have a hell of a time trying to score on the Heat. If they somehow find a way to bring in Dalembert or another defensive anchor, this team is going to be absolutely scary on the defensive end of the floor. If they work out their kinks offensively, good luck to the rest of the NBA. Edited December 8, 2011 by Built Ford Tough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 A scary ass team just got scarier. Excellent signing by the Heat if it is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Battier is a good player, but he doesnt really solve their problems. They should have given that money to a point guard or center. How is Battier going to get minutes anyways. Wade-Battier-Lebron might work though. I dont think they want Wade guarding point guards all game though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abro Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Totally agree.. Awesome signing if true. Love what Battier brings on both ends of the floor. But youre right also in the fact that they need a center other than joel anthony.. A la Joel Pryzbilla, if Dalembert wants too much money?

Newman Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 The Heat is really scary now. The perimeter defense with Wade,LeBron,Battier and Chalmers is absolutely stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Nicccee. Still worried about the center position but it didn't destroy us too much last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I hate this signing...mainly because I really really like Shane Battier and hate the Heat. Great [expletive]ing pickup for the Heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abro Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Sweeeeet! Love everything about Battier. But we still need another rim protector who can actually catch and finish. Kwame, pryzbilla, dalembert? Anyone like that I wouldnt mind at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
