Heat @ Nets

[305Baller]

Heat trailing by 6.

Wade/McBob/Deng all out.

:facepalm

Development game.

[plowking]

There is no way we finish the season above .500.

Prior to the season starting, I was saying just at or under .500, but we have no shot with the amount of games Wade has already sat, and will continue to sit throughout the season.

Tank and get a good pick. I don't want to be some 35-45 win team for 4 or 5 seasons straight.

Nah. This team at full strength can be a 3rd seed. Tank for what?

[plowking]

That is the whole point. It won't be at full strength with Wade constantly sitting out.

[305Baller]

That is the whole point. It won't be at full strength with Wade constantly sitting out.

Im not worried about Wade, Im worried about Bosh playing with his head in his ass.

[Crimsonrain777]

This is looking like it might be a good day from Chalmers :applause:

[dannywpt]

Damn, where did all the Heat fans go? It seems like you guys are like 5 real, loyal fans left.

[coin24]

Not many heat fans left:lol

They can still finish top 4 seed imo, the East is too pathetic not to. Once bosh is out of his slump they should be fine..
There is no point in tanking

[305Baller]

Napier is improving quickly and better than I envisioned so far. He will be a legit starter soon.

[jrong]

They can't tank. Otherwise, they spent 120 M on Bosh for nothing. He'll look better again when Wade returns, as will the whole team. He creates space for everyone.

Plus, no 2016 FA that matters will be in play for Miami if they don't stay relevant.

And from the players' perspective, Wade and Bosh don't re-sign if the plan was to tank. To tank would be to throw away Wade's last years and Bosh's prime. If the Heat told them the plan was to tank, Wade would be a Bull, and Bosh would be a Rocket.

Just try to stay near .500 and pray Wade gets back soon and somehow stays back when he does. As long as they end up on the other side of the bracket from the Cavs, there's still a possibility of going to the ECFs.

[It's A VC3!!!]

This Nets team is total trash. Just disband this worthless team please! Instead of paying the highest luxury tax in the league just get a number 1-3 pick in the draft.

I can't believe Wade has that much impact on the team still. I'm going to watch the Heat after the Cavs game.

Nets could swap KG to call contending team for picks.

Do you think Joe, Deron, and Brook have any trade value or would keep them all ?

Looks like you guys are more worried about Heat fans than your teams.


Bosh.... :facepalm

[M47]

Whoever it was that made the decision to go after Cole and Ennis in their drafts are a genius,

[305Baller]

Chalmers stepping up and doing good things. Now if he can take care of the ball and not F up.

[Crimsonrain777]

Wade is our best playmaker.

Shit is creepy.

I must say I miss all the drama lebron has brought to the team, but nothing compares to the serenity of being able to focus on the team as a whole than to a single player. :D

Joe johnsons As good as ever. If he was on the Bulls or grizz i think they'd be title favorites.

That's true, although he's having one of those disappearing act games he has from time to time vs the Heat.

Wade is damn underrated offensively. TBH, even against constant injuries his impact is just a tad below his prime. So, even though his scoring is way below compared to years before he still impacts the team just as much as CP, KD, or Lebron does.

[navy]

Why is Bosh letting Chalmers out play him?

[navy]

Eastern Conderence bruh. 6th seed on lock. :rockon:

[coin24]

Jack to jordan whoa:rockon: :rockon:

[PJR]

Bazz and Ennis stay impressing me.

[tpols]

Jarret Jacks gotta be the best backup pg in the league. Shit he's better than dwill

[navy]

Bazz and Ennis stay impressing me.
Where is Hamilton. :banana:

we'll be alright. if wade's injury was something else like recurring knee problems, i'd be a lil more worried. but a nagging hamstring can happen to anyone and isnt considered serious going forward. the thing is, hamstrings are tricky so you got to treat it carefully or itd be a nagging injury all season.

[TheNaturalWR]

This is why I cringed when I saw people say Bosh would be our first option. Anyone that ever saw Bosh during his Heat years trying to create for himself/the team could easily have seen this coming.

[f0und]

just tuned into the game. why is bosh sucking it up again?

[RRR3]

When do the Heat have a nationally televised game?
Haven't got to watch them yet :mad:

Also wtf is wrong with bosh. Wade still clearly better I guess.

[Brook(lyn)Lopez]

Bosh on the bench, Haslam maintaining the lead instead. :bowdown:

Bosh is in foul trouble.. Has been for a while.

[It's A VC3!!!]

I wouldn't keep any of them. No point in paying $20m for each player for no reason. Total trash. They pass the ball once or twice per possession and hoist a horrible shot. Defense is just crap too.

[navy]

Foul trouble. ALthough he has been in a terrible shooting slump. I might leave him on the bench.

[strifed169]

:durantunimpressed:

[Brook(lyn)Lopez]

KG turning back the clock!:applause:

[f0und]

bosh with the big bucket

[aj1987]

Finally!

[navy]

Two good games in a row from Chalmers.

[Brook(lyn)Lopez]

Chalmers schooling fake star D-Will...:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

[f0und]

chalmers on a rare non *uck up night. :applause:

[Young X]

Such a dumb foul by Williams smh

[Brook(lyn)Lopez]

Bosh clutch, that's game.

[navy]

Big Shot Bosh. Game over.

[PJR]

Just stay above .500 :applause: plz

[It's A VC3!!!]

heat moved the ball very well on literally every possession. the nets still don't ****ing know what ball movement is nor what good defense is. I'm begging for billy to just disband this team.

[Legends66NBA7]

Ever since he was a rookie, Chris has always made a big 3 at some point during the season. Either to tie it up, win the game, or even put it away.

[coin24]

Big 3 from bosh, game over..

Nets look like crap, they should move any of Deron Lopez KG JJ, if anyone is stupid enough to want them

[f0und]

thats pretty much game

gg nets

[aj1987]

Two good games in a row from Chalmers.
This is what worries me. Hope he doesn't stink up the next 10. Yeah, he was huge for us today though.

[305Baller]

we win!

:pimp:

How the hell is he getting to the line so much?
Even before tonight's game he was averaging more fta per minute than Wade


Hopefully he keeps it up I miss watching Rio and the Heat hopefully I can soon

[fragokota]

Good game by Rio, nice win considering both Wade and Deng were out. Bosh has to step up his game. Nets are hideous, Dwill god awful, what happened to this guy?

Dude likes to throw himself into people like Harden. Effective. :applause:

I'll take it lol. He's never been a player who go to the line much in the past although I always thought he was an underrated driver. Would like to see Rio continue to average 13-15 PPG. Maybe he can win 6MOY :bowdown:

[jrong]

Chalmers with those Harden stats!

Lol I knew Wade was gonna take over the scoring lead soon, but I didn't think he'd do it from the bench. He's now within .1 ppg of Bosh (I'll give Bosh credit for a couple big shots, but not too much credit. He's sucked for all but one few-minute stretch of the last four games, when the table was set for him to prove he deserves that contract).

Hmmmm, the thing about Bosh is that he has a greater propensity for Big Games than Wade does. Wade will struggle to hit 30 point games because he's not gonna chuck lots of 3s and shoot alot unless necessary. He will have a higher field goal percentage and more assist easily.

Bosh is more relied upon to shoot, so he will have 10 point games, 15 point games, and I suspect a few 40 point games.

In the thread for the last game Wade played I was saying he should be more aggressive. If he is going to play 30-33mpg I believe he should be shooting enough to average around 22-23ppg in that time.

I highly doubt Bosh will sniff 40. If you were following the trend before Wade started sitting out, he was starting to take more shots than Bosh every game. I said after the Mavs game it looked like Wade had decided the Heat were his team again.

Bosh hasn't outscored him in a game they both played since the Rockets game on Nov. 4 and even then it was only by 2 pts, as it was the night before vs. the Raps. You have to go back to the Philly game (Wade's one bad game this year) to find a game where Bosh significantly outscored him. Even in the season opener, Bosh only out-pointed him by 5.

If Wade comes back and picks up where he left off, all questions about whose team this is will cease. I do agree with you though that Wade probably won't score 30 that often. He doesn't shoot enough, take enough 3s or get foul calls anymore. It'll take one of his ultra-efficient games for him to get there.

[mattvNJ]

Nets really keep dissapointing... i knew they would so i bet a nice little parlay

Heat- Money Line
&
Grizz&Rockets over 187

Not true at all.

There's also a matter of balance, as in, this team relies on Wade to get other guys going, including Bosh, who has really suffered in his absence. When Bosh plays with Wade he gets more open jumpers and good catches around the basket, helping him establish rhythm, attack and grab more offensive rebounds etc.
