FIRE Erik Spoelstra! - (30495)
honestly tho, we should all wait to see how they do in the playoffs. All this talk about te crying and all that could go out the window easily.
And his cook gets him two more once Love finishes his meal, lol.
But seriously, Coach Spoel-Booty will get fired at the end of Miami’s season. There’s no way, and it would be totally senseless, to fire a coach with only 18-19 games left in the regular season unless it’s a coach from the Cavs, Wolves, Wiz, or Kings.
Even though it’s a stretch but I think LeWeep was right when he said, “even if we lost every game from now on we’d still make the playoffs”…
looks a PBalla’s av
Who am I kidding?! Griz and Sixers are doing pretty damn good right now, lol!
Sixers are over .500 already.
Grizzlies are in the Western Conference.
lol u
Duh, that was the whole point. Miami plays them soon after the Fakers. It’s a “give me” for Mem.
Lol Canadians.

^O Rly?
You are living in a dream, this is Bosh being Bosh. Bosh is a high post jumpshooter has been his whole career. He has never been an actual post player. I can blame Bosh because this is what he has been doing since he got in the league.
heat need haslem to hurry back
lol @ Geo who has somehow managed to convince himself it’s Spoelstra’s fault Bosh is a jump shooter.
Cuz if it wasn’t for Spo’s shoddy playcalling, Bosh would be asserting himself as a dominant low-post presence, like he always did with Toronto, MIRITE? Cue laughter from Raptor fans
^_-;
so happy when I looked at espn.com today and saw that my blazers beat the heat. Pretty pleased they’re (seemingly?) falling apart. Playoffs in both conferences should be great this year.
That’s a poor comparison. The Timberwolves play at a faster pace than anyone else in the league and they only shoot 43% as a team. Basically, Kevin Love gets so many rebounds because his team can’t shoot, and they shoot a lot.
Now in comparison, Bosh plays in a slower system, with two guys who are always driving to the paint for layups (no rebounds required), and a coach who rarely uses his shooters which means even less rebound opportunities from misses.
Have you even looked at the advance stats before you posted?
#1 Miami and Minny are tied for points per game at 101.5
(I know what you’re going to say already, but Miami gets all their points at the free throw line! Actually Miami sits at 3rd in free throw attempts, and Minny is at 11th)
Well what about free throws made? Well I will tell you Geo. Miami sits at 3rd, while Minny at 10th. Differential? 5 fucking points.
Slower pace? 5 points at the line is the only difference.
However as we know most rebounds come from people missing shots on the field. Lets take a look shall we?
#2 Miami does have better fg% (less offensive rebound opportunities), but guess what? Miami hold teams to lower shooting fg% (more defensive rebound opportunities).
So what’s the margin?
Miami’s FG% .476, Minny’s FG% .438. Difference of .038.
Miami opponent’s FG% .431, Minnys opponent’s FG% .461. Difference of .030.
Miami’s offensive rebounds per game 9.8 to Minny’s 13.8.
Miam’s defensive rebounds per game 32.8 to Minny’s 31.4.
Differential? Minny sits at 4th place with 2.8 and Miami is in 6th at 1.9.
There are plenty of opportunities for Bosh. LeBron and Wade slashing to the bucket commanding double teams should give Bosh more opportunities for offensive rebounds as well. The rebound tonight that he botched was CLEAR proof that the dude can’t rebound. No one was within 2 feet of him, and the ball ended up out of bounds.
He fumbled the ball so bad that Camby and (I think)Aldridge or Matthews was going to run down the court, but they realize he botched it so they turned back and tried to save it, but it was on its way out of bounds.
There was also one rebound that landed in front of his face, but he turned left and right then finally realize the ball was in front of his face and grabbed it.
Fuck all of you. I’m trying hard to convince myself of certain things, I don’t need you douchetards to remind me of facts in order to make things worst.
I’LL PISS ON ALL OF YOUR GRAVES.
Dude I’m in the same boat as you. I want Miami to win, but denying our weakness doesn’t make us stronger. We have to learn and accept our flaws, and turned it around.
In the final minutes the offense is basically Wade + Bron. Why not take out Bosh for defensive/rebounding options. It’s not like he will do anything on the offensive side, since Bron or Wade is going to take the shot. On the defensive side he’s a liability.
Look at the god damn play-by-play and see what Bosh did in the 4th.
Portland Trail Blazers vs. Miami Heat - Play By Play - March 08, 2011 - ESPN
2 rebounds, 1 turnover, and 3 shots which he missed all 3 of them.
Do we really need that guy at that moment?
I say we play Bosh, and if he is hot he stays in. If he is not he rides the bench. Like that Chi game where he went 1-18. He should of been yanked at 1-10.
Guys like Bron and Wade have to play even if they are having a bad game, but Bosh? Nah if he’s sucking then go sit your ass down. If he is having a good game, then okay keep playing.
Look at the god damn box score.
LeBron went 14-20 from the field that is 70 fucking percent. 25% from free throw though. 1/4.
Wade went 12-21 from the field that is 57 percent. Not only that but Wade made his free throws tonight with 12/13.
What did Bosh do?
3-11 with a +/- of -15.
I agree with this statement. I say you win the bet
I’m afraid that CRYami will beat the Lakers on Thursday. Heatles on a 5 game losing streak, Lakers on a 8 game winning streak. Perfect situation for the Heat to come out blazing and Lakers to come effortless (as they’re known to do after winning streaks).
A Heat-Knicks playoff series would be pretty fun to watch. It’d bring back memories of [media=youtube]gGD_ym_hb1M"[/media]. On second thought no, it wouldn’t. Bosh is too soft and is more likely to flop before getting into any fisticuffs. But you never know, maybe Spoelstra will grab onto Amare’s leg while Carmelo moonwalks away after sucker punching one of the Heat scrubs.
it’s too big of a game for the lakers to not show up IMO. I think it’ll be a close game. Heat will be hungry and the lakers will want revenge for the last time. both teams have something to prove.
HoBe
They will be a really tough match-up. They have a superstar in a back up role, BRoy is gonna be hungry to make the most out of his time in games. Hopefully the Spurs run into them 1st.
Michael Wilbon is right, L.A. wants to win in a threatening team’s arena at least once.
Fuck.
I don’t understand why/how LeBron has the ball in his hands with the game on the line while Wade has to hope to grab an offensive rebound off LeBron’s miss in order to take a game-winning shot. Is this LeBron just saying “fuck it, imma do me” or is it Spoelstra drawing it up that way?
