GAMETHREAD: Heat Vs. Raptors 02/05/12

[derb2k2]

guess no 1 cares anymore!

[derb2k2]

the Heat should take this one comfortably. :bowdown:

[Qwyjibo]

I hope the Heat put the Raptors out of their misery early. I'd rather not have to worry about the Raptors possibly winning and I'd like to see Ed Davis get some playing time.

[Ruutu]

Should be easy win for Miami!

[LBJ 23]

Any good quality live streamings?

[pegasus]

Is Bargnani still out?

[Askmeificare]

i'm expecting Curry to get some good minutes,

[drizzy0503]

remember when Eddie House dropped 35 on the Craptors?:oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

[ThatsGame]

garbage streams keep skipping..

[Askmeificare]

[LBJ 23]

Don't know if even worth watching....

[HEAT111]

Nah there was a Bobcats thread that had about 6 posts the entire game.:roll:

[TheAesirsFinest]

Good step through by LeBron.

[Askmeificare]

Wow, Wade is on fire.

[Velocirap31]

Raptors doing well. Bosh is trying too hard.

[upside24]

Repped. Thank you.

[drizzy0503]

Bronzy shoulda gone with the mash instead of the roll

[Askmeificare]

Joel never get enough props

[TheAesirsFinest]

Great rotations on that defensive possession.

[TheAesirsFinest]

:O Nice putback dunk by Davis. Hope Battier masters that running tear drop; he'll get a lot of those baseline runners.

[Ruutu]

Heat lookin good right now

[drizzy0503]

think Heat will win this, they look good, but not like they really care one way or the other

[baccano]

Should be a win, since the team meeting after the ugly loos to the bucks, they played the philly much better, sharing the ball.

[TheAesirsFinest]

Why aren't Chalmers and James Jones out there? They're our zone-killers.

[Velocirap31]

Raptors not going down early, nice to see.

[LBJ 23]

Stream started to lag just for me or?

[drizzy0503]

Stream started to lag just for me or?
nah, not just u

[ThatsGame]

All ball

[ThatsGame]

Ball don't lie, **** this announcers

[Apogee]

Those announcers :facepalm

[derb2k2]

lol Lebron fail. lob that ish

[pauk]

Lebron with 0 assists :eek:

[Ruutu]

3rd is gonna be important to finish this game

[SAKOTXA]

Link anyone?

[detroitdogg]

This will probally be a good time to see if Bron Bron tries to freeze Wade out on offense in the 2nd half. Wade is having a better game right now (by a small margin) and its a close game so lets see if Bron plays to the rhythm of the game or starts to try to pad his stats.

So if lebron starts to shoot its gonna be statbading ?

[SAKOTXA]

The arena is about 30% empty. :facepalm

....they arent playing a good team. What did you expect? It's super bowl sunday in Miami but you exepct a capacity crowd for an early game against the raptors????

I don't remember the last time a Laker game was this empty. Even the 04-05 season...

[RaininTwos]

I don't remember the last time a Laker game was this empty. Even the 04-05 season...
Why are you even doing this? They are the Lakers. I don't remember any empty Laker games. 17 Championships and the second largest market in America can work wonders for attendance.

[drizzy0503]

Miami is a much better football town than LA is

[drizzy0503]

Damn Rio is on fire

[Askmeificare]

Lebron heard that he didnt have an assist, so there ya go

[All Net]

A couple of daggers from Chalmers....

[RRR3]

Damn Chalmers is automatic from 3:bowdown:

[BurningHammer]

No Bargnani, no victory. Simple is that.

LeBron/Wade/Bosh should be able to fill up the stadium night in and night out, that's all i know. And that's not a knock on those three, it's the fans. Doesn't matter where the city is located.

Raptors hangin in there... now Wade comes in and then Lebron... and game over

[ChandlerParsons]

Damn, this thread be empty.

[Askmeificare]

Wide-open put in the bench

[ChandlerParsons]

Super foul!
Smart foul though.

[pauk]

Damn, this thread be empty.

Yea.. well.. the outcome of this game was pretty damn predictable... :pimp:

[ChandlerParsons]

fat lady sings, not yet padawan

[ChandlerParsons]

See, getting closer and closer
5 POINT GAME, TOLD YOU GUISE. YA'LL NEVER LISTEN TO THE WHITE BOI.

[TheAesirsFinest]

I hope we lose. We're shittastic.

[Velocirap31]

Bayless! Raptors don't quit.

[BurningHammer]

Nice fight, Raptors!! :applause: :applause: :applause:

losing this close and it will be perfect!! :rockon:

[drizzy0503]

I hope we lose. We're shittastic.
wouldnt say that, we just really dont care about this game

[305Baller]

the shot selection is a little weak here, Toronto is pushing the D but Miami may need another meeting.

[Velocirap31]

wouldnt say that, we just really dont care about this game

Miami? Why would they not care about this game? Its an NBA game like any other.

[Ruutu]

Miami gonna lose!

[ChandlerParsons]

Miami looks like they wanna lose, such uninspired ball right now :facepalm
IN AND OUT FOR BOSH TEARTEAR

[TheAesirsFinest]

Why the **** do we turn to iso scoring when the game is close.

[TheNaturalWR]

The shots Wade takes sometimes confuses the shit outta me.

[pauk]

Lebron @ PG now two 4th quarters in a row... interesting move by Spoelstra

[TheAesirsFinest]

RIP cameraman. Squished by LeBron's titanium ass.

[Apogee]

Heat like always giving up the lead... Why do we do this to ourselves

[drizzy0503]

Bronzy with the clutch steal!:applause:

[RRR3]

LeBron w/ the clutch steal and dunk :applause:

[pauk]

Why dont they just start Lebron at PG.... he would be averaging a triple double, only if he would rebounded aswell

The offense is just better... and they have the best lineup on the floor:

PG - Lebron
SG - Wade
SF - Miller
PF - Haslem
C - Bosh

[drizzy0503]

RIP cameraman. Squished by LeBron's titanium ass.
:roll:

[RRR3]

Cuz he's better as a SF and Chalmers/Cole is a solid PG rotation for the Heat.

[drizzy0503]

How the fukk is that not a foul?

[pauk]

Cuz he's better as a SF and Chalmers/Cole is a solid PG rotation for the Heat.

Lebron is a point-forward... with scoring ability... lebron is a true 6'8" scoring PG.... he is not a traditional SF like Carmelo, Durant and so on...

[StateOfMind12]

The fact that this is even a game is lol-worthy.

I also find it funny how this entire page on this thread is filled with people on my ignore list.

[pauk]

lol he played like 4 positions tonight

[RRR3]

The Heat are fine the way they are. LeBron is not a true PG (he shoots way to much to be one) deal with it.

[Lebron23]

Miami are still 10-3 against 0.500 above NBA Teams. They don't take their game very seriously against crap teams.

[StateOfMind12]

Miami are still 9-3 againts 0.500 above NBA Teams. They don't take their game very seriously against crap teams.
That's still not a good habit especially for championship teams. Championship teams don't take nights off especially when they are full-strength. They are simply developing a bad habit but I guess this would be the best season to do it since every team is playing a condensed schedule.

[pauk]

No... not more than Rose would have... :confusedshrug:

Lebron plays and have always played the PG position traditionally... he has never chucked when playing PG.... he turns into a pure pass first player.... as evident of his Cavs days when he averaged 12.1 APG starting point-guard 13 games in a row.......

[ChandlerParsons]

The fact that this is even a game is lol-worthy.

I'm on your ignore list? D:
I don't know how it works o.o

[Cangri]

Can someone explain to me what's up with those ugly miami jerseys?

[StateOfMind12]

I'm on your ignore list? D:
I was talking about this page so the answer is no. It feels good having pauk on my ignore list now though. I'm tired of seeing this guy post especially when he forgets to take his medication which is like 99% of the time.

[Lebron23]

LeBron might overtake Kobe for the no.1 spot in the NBA Scoring race this week.

[Ruutu]

Lebron throwing his mouthpice :D He dosent care about this game!

[BurningHammer]

Raptors :applause: :applause: :applause:

The tank keeps on rolling, baby!! :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

good game

All of the laker 3 peat teams did the same thing.... Often never got up for bad teams. In a lockout season its easy to do.

[StateOfMind12]

The 1st team didn't, they were 67-15. The 2nd and 3rd team did but that was due to Shaq's laziness more than anything. Shaq can get away with laziness and being out of shape unlike these Heat players mainly because he was a big man.

The 2009 team didn't really coast if I recall correctly either. The 2010 Lakers team did but that was mainly due to injuries so that is a different story. The Heat are at full strength so they don't have much of an excuse for being lazy other than the schedule being condensed.

[Heavincent]

Except this Heat team isn't nearly as good as the Laker 3 peat teams, thus they can't afford to be lazy in some games.

[T.O.RapsJays]

FML, I missed the game due to a couple of reasons:

1. Didn't know there was a game.

2. Slept through the whole game :facepalm

I don't even watch the Superbowl wtf, guess I'll watch the game later when they re-play it.

[T.O.RapsJays]

Raptors :applause: :applause: :applause:

The tank keeps on rolling, baby!! :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:
Can you fill me in on who did well? I completely missed the whole game :facepalm

They all did but at different levels. Even the 10 team lost quite a few bad games to,bad teams at home no less.

Miami beat all the bad teams last season and struggled against the good ones. I would much rather beat the good ones and just struggle to put away the bad ones.

Fact is in the regular season how you win games doesn't matter it's just getting the wins. How you beat certain teams in the regular season has no impact on what happens in the playoffs.

Miami have struggled to put away bad teams and that's down their own Arrogance and lack of focus as they expect to win on talent alone.

[All Net]

I don't disagree but in a lockout season it is very tough to get up for these games against bad teams.

[Velocirap31]

Derozan played really well. He was slashing very effectively and getting some nice dunks/layups as well as getting to the line consistently. Bayless played good to and so did Kleiza. Raptors seemed to stick with the zone defense for a majority of the game and it seemed to work well until Miami began hitting their 3's. Bosh didn't play too well, but Lebron and Wade did.

Thanks for the recap :cheers:

Did DeRozan end up near 50% shooting today, or was it mostly at the line (which I don't mind)? I like the fact that he was going to the rim.

Ya he was 8/16 and I think 9/11 from the line. Oh ya and James Johnson played great defense on everyone, pretty much why Bosh had a bad game.

Great to hear, very enlightening for him to have a good shooting game. The more games he has like this, the better for him, and the 9/11 from the line is also encouraging as he was struggling lately with his FTs.

I'm not surprised JJ played good defense as usual, but at least it affected Bosh so that's a plus :lol

Miami doesn't need HC throughout the playoffs to win, they need to be healthy in the playoffs.

Yeah they take some games off vs mediocre teams, but if that means they aren't worn out at the finish line, I'm all for it.

Even the "big" Chicago game, Spoelstra played his normal rotation.
