La Bomba Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 This game is going perfectly for us right now at halftime. Rudy has 20 points already; Mayo has 12; Gasol has 12 points, 11 rebounds, and a block; Thabeet has already played 9 minutes and has 2 blocks and zero fouls. Wade and Dorrell Wright have hot starts, but everyone else on the Heat has been pretty quite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleveland's Finest Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Grizz impress me. They killed the Blazers in Portland, the Heat in Miami, and came back to beat the Cavs....possibly in the playoffs? 8 seed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) Wow we suck, looks like we aren't gonna be any better than we were last year. We gotta make some trades if we really want Wade to stay. Edited December 14, 2009 by SRV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only played about half of the third quarter and hasn't played the forth quarter at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Damnit, I missed this game. Sounds like it was just a horrible day for the Heat, or just a great day for the Grizzlies.. Man, that boxscore looks ugly as hell. The Heat lose the rebounding battle 49-26. Yikes. 43% FG to 53%, leading to 118 to 90. Sounds like the Heat just weren't hustling out there today. Next game, I want to see the Heat bury their opponent under 90 points, and explode by scoring over 100. They need to play with motivation and establish themselves as a great defensive team like they could be. Wow we suck, looks like we aren't gonna be any better than we were last year. We gotta make some trades if we really want Wade to stay. I disagree with both. The Heat have shown signs of being a much better team when they play motivated. Just looking at the box score, Beasley, Chalmers, Haslem, and JO all had terrible days. If they all played to their potential as players, the Heat would have made this a much closer game. And definitely a big NO to the trade idea. It would be a very, very stupid idea if Pat Riley decided to panic after a single double digit loss in a 2 game losing streak, and trade NOW when the Heat have one of the largest cap spaces in the league this SUMMER??? Why throw that away over just a couple of losses and an .500 record this early in the season? Maybe there is a slight possibility of making the team better for the short run, but being patient and waiting for 2010 where better moves are available is way better for the long run. I think this team is much better than 11-11. The Heat are bound to figure themselves out sooner or later and make a winning streak to bring their record where is should be. The only changes I think the Heat should make is to trade James Jones for some kind of pick. The guy is good and deserves minutes, but he just doesn't have a place on the Heat team. I thought it was a terrible signing in the first place. He needs to go. Another change is to waive Carlos Arroyo. He doesn't fit on this team, and every time he's on the court, if he's not taking midrange Js, he simply kills the offense. It feels like half the offenses with him on the court wind up with a badly contested shot with the shotclock winding down. He needs to go. The line up needs to be: Chalmers-Wade-Rich-Beasley-O'Neal, Bench: Wright-Cook-Haslem-Anthony. This needs to be the rotation. Wright needs to establish himself as the bench PG and become the playmaker that he can become. Cook needs to become a reliable bench scoring/shooting presence. Haslem needs to come in earlier in the game, and Beasley needs to be more versatile and be solid at both forward positions. O'Neal needs to simply step up his game (only 2 rebounds??), Chalmers needs to be more aggressive and more consistent, Wade needs to keep being Wade, and Joel needs to keep hustling. I think that would be the best formula for the Heat for this year when it comes to winning games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Also, Haslem should NEVER have to play center. He's simply not big enough or athletic enough to guard the position. Spoelstra feels pressured to give both Haslem and Beasley the right amount of minutes each game. Apparently Beasley's lack of versatility is forcing Spoe to move Haslem over to center, instead of moving Beasley to SF and bringing Joel in the game to fill in. Just had to get that off my chest.
