Heat @ Pistons

[305Baller]

The Heat jumped to a quick lead but after a second Whiteside foul took him out early in the first the Pistons have gone on a 25-1 run.

How are the Heat this terrible now? Makes no sense.

[navy]

Wiltside needs to play 48 minutes.

[navy]

Heat are terrible. Injuries yes, but you cant excuse this level of play. Fire Spolestra. He's lost this team. Only thing keeping it afloat is Wiltside.

[r0drig0lac]

:facepalm

[Rake2204]

Always interesting to watch a team fall victim to a run like that (25-1) then have something as random as an end of the quarter instantly result in four points in the next 30 seconds. Momentum and mentality at play.

Might be time for him to spend some time with his family.

14 point game now. Finally they have settled in.

Spo isn't a good coach, but he also doesn't have much to work with. Outside of Bosh who does he have that can be relied on to provide consistent scoring?

[navy]

Spo isn't a good coach, but he also doesn't have much to work with. Outside of Bosh who does he have that can be relied on to provide consistent scoring?
Needs to create a better system to compensate then.

It's a problem.

[305Baller]

They were doing that heavy ball-movement thing early in the year and just suddenly stopped.

[Genaro]

Whiteside got keep out of foul trouble. He is too valuable for this team.

[navy]

They were doing that heavy ball-movement thing early in the year and just suddenly stopped.
Happens every year.

[305Baller]

Happens every year.

yeah, man. whats the deal with that?

[305Baller]

Deng's playing better now in the 2nd q

[305Baller]

Whiteside is going to be an all-star

[f0und]

holy *hit wiltside :eek:

[305Baller]

Good spin by Bosh, he needs to stay aggressive.

[305Baller]

Heat should not be allowing open 3s with a legit shot-blocker backing up the D, maybe the bad play is due to some kind of transition w/ Whiteside.

[Hey Yo]

Bosh with only 2 boards at the half

[navy]

Bosh with only 2 boards at the half
25/12 player

[305Baller]

bosh feelin it now

[navy]

Single handily staved of the usual third quarter collapse.

[305Baller]

Spo should try a Whiteside/Andersen/Bosh/G/G lineup

[r0drig0lac]

wow bosh :bowdown:

[Rose'sACL]

bosh can't miss.

[embersyc]

Damn I hate Bosh, always ****ing kills us.

[navy]

Bosh is hot, but the team is playing like shit. Cant imagine the score had Bosh not gone Klay Thompson this quarter.

[305Baller]

yep. true. since the chemistry is such shit a trade wouldnt effect it

[navy]

Would get the garbage point guards of the team

[305Baller]

Would get the garbage point guards of the team

yeah. Nate Robinson, Lucas III would be upgrades at this point.

[navy]

Bosh gonna get 50?

[305Baller]

Pistons have Lucas III? My bad.

[navy]

Always liked Joel.

[305Baller]

Pistons also have Joel Anthony :O

[embersyc]

Pistons have Lucas III? My bad.

Just signed him yesterday.

[305Baller]

ugh. this seasons a wash.

[navy]

Spo should have rode bosh and whiteside. They wont cut the deficit in 6-7 minutes.

[navy]

ugh. this seasons a wash.
No excuses.

lol

[embersyc]

ugh. this seasons a wash.

Well hopefully we can wrestle that playoff spot from you since I don't think we can catch Charlotte.

[305Baller]

No excuses.

lol

:oldlol:

[305Baller]

Well hopefully we can wrestle that playoff spot from you since I don't think we can catch Charlotte.

you probably will at this point. you guys look decent for your talent level. too bad about the achilles

[navy]

lol Bosh. hottest guy in the gym soft as fvck

[305Baller]

lol Bosh. hottest guy in the gym soft as fvck

he is skinny and weak. good scorer tho.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Heat look great without LeBron. He was really killing their ball movement.

:roll:

[305Baller]

[navy]

Somehow the Heat became the 2nd worst assisting team in the league. :biggums:

[RoundMoundOfReb]

*GASP* :eek: I am incredibly surprised!

[plowking]

Is the draft pick we're supposed to give to the Cavs top 10 protected or something?

[305Baller]

LeBron did well by leaving.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

If LeBron were on the heat with Whiteside they would be a top 2 seed. Of course with LeBron there, Spolestra wouldn't have been forced to play Whiteside because they probably wouldn't be bad enough.

true.

[navy]

Yeah need to drop into top 10 to get it. They are at 13 so if they tank they will get the pick.

[305Baller]

Yeah need to drop into top 10 to get it. They are at 13 so if they tank they will get the pick.

they should just tank. probably are tanking.

[navy]

they should just tank. probably are tanking.
They arent.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Yeah need to drop into top 10 to get it. They are at 13 so if they tank they will get the pick.
Detroit will probably pass them the way they're playing. Maybe Sacremento too with a healthy Cousins. Other than that i'm not sure.

[305Baller]

They arent.

somehow that makes it worse

[navy]

Detroit will probably pass them the way they're playing. Maybe Sacremento too with a healthy Cousins. Other than that i'm not sure.
I said if they tank. Sky's the limit for a tanking team.

He was born in 1993

Can't use the Arnold Drummond smiley because you probably didn't exist between 1978-1986 when Diff'rent Strokes ran.

[plowking]

Everyone Riley got this season was trash outside of Whiteside and Napier. We need more new blood. Only thing I'm looking forward to at this point is the draft.

Heat might make the playoffs though.

Napier sucks too. But he has flashes.

everybody looks worse because there is no chemistry. The scheme is not working. Unless that scheme is to tank.

Napier is a rookie. Cant finish at this level, horrible defense. Needs time to work on his game.

Everyone else is just who they are.

A good scheme hides weaknesses, embellishes strengths. Aww F it who gives a crap.

Fire Spolestra. Dude has peaked.

[305Baller]

Fire Spolestra. Dude has peaked.

yeah, maybe. Is Adelman available?

Rileys going to retire anyways.

[G-train]

Spo isn't a good coach, but he also doesn't have much to work with. Outside of Bosh who does he have that can be relied on to provide consistent scoring?

Missing their 2nd best scorer Wade obviously. Support in Deng and Whiteside.

[G-train]

you probably will at this point. you guys look decent for your talent level. too bad about the achilles

No they won't.
The Heat will make the playoffs, because they want to.

[G-train]

Fire Spolestra. Dude has peaked.

No, a 44 year old coach hasn't peaked.

[plowking]

No they won't.
The Heat will make the playoffs, because they want to.

I don't want them to.

I'd rather get a pick than be irrelevant in the playoffs and doing nothing for a bunch of years.

[plowking]

No, a 44 year old coach hasn't peaked.

He has, because he sucks, and was never good enough to begin with.

[navy]

No, a 44 year old coach hasn't peaked.
With the heat? I think so.

[GrapeApe]

As frustrating as it's been, I'm not writing off this season just yet. Whiteside's emergence has at least made things interesting. They just need to get (and stay) healthy.

[Smoke117]

How does Bosh have 3 rebs in 34 minutes? :facepalm

[supernova5912]

Is the draft pick we're supposed to give to the Cavs top 10 protected or something?

The pick is not protected in 2015 as far as I know.

[GrapeApe]

Yeah I know, wishfull thinking. It's like someone has a voodoo doll. Hopefully they'll eventually show some mercy.

[navy]

It is top 10 protected.

[Droid101]

I don't want them to.

So you'd rather have a league seeding than a conference seeding? That'll boot the Heat in a hurry.

[navy]

The pick is not protected in 2015 as far as I know.
It is protected this year and next. 2017 unprotected.

[plowking]

Nah, that is a shit idea. I hope we miss the playoffs out here, then get seeded properly for the draft.

[supernova5912]

I thought it said they didn't have a protected pick in 2015.

It's the first line. The pick is currently the Cavs since they arent top 10.

[DukeDelonte13]

He has, because he sucks, and was never good enough to begin with.


A true heat fan speaks the truth.
