Miami with Wade/Bosh/Dragic/Deng/Whiteside is 15-10

Maybe Wade and Bosh are not all that great? Or is it on Spoelstra for not making it work? Or is it both?

They aren't playing as a cohesive unit, part of it is down to the coach but also the players. Plus spacing with our starting 5 is really rough.

It seems in particular that Bosh doesn't really know what his role is, I wish he was more aggressive.

Um, They have a winning record? What the hell were your expectations? Wade is days away from 34, Bosh was always been a bit soft, and Dragic has gotten off to a slow start, and we have very little consistent perimeter shooting. I'm cool with the start as Miami fan. I especially like how good the team ranks defensively.

Maybe they're old and a shell of their former selves. Maybe Bosh almost died last year.

Maybe Deng isn't that good anymore.

Maybe Dragic has been bad.

Maybe.

:wtf: How is that a bad record in the bloodbath Beastern Conference?

You know they're only half a game behind the #2 seed Pacers and 2.5 games behind the #1 seed Cavs, right?

Bosh was never that great. Good shooting big man and that's about it.

Wade is still pretty good but basically detrimental to ball movement at this point. He either jacks up terrible long 2s or pounds the ball the entire shotclock and drives. He does setup both Whiteside and shooters, but the only way this would work well is with a team setup like the Cavs with all shooters and one big. He really needs to put his ego aside and stop taking some of the shots he takes.

Going along with that both Dragic & Deng don't really go with that style of play as they aren't great shooters, both would rather drive/slash respectively.

Green is pretty decent and so is Winslow, but Winslow's shooting is not nearly good enough yet. Don't get the point of McBob really. Haslem still plays for some reason over Stat & Birdman.

So long story short, not enough shooting, offense is turnover prone from Wade & Whiteside, poorly constructed roster. They still will be ok and finish 3-6 in East imo, but they would be much better with even one pure shooter in the starting lineup.

Bosh, Deng and Wade's best days are behind them dude.

...and soon Dragic's. Welcome to win-now mode. Heat need Winslow, Green, Johnson and Whiteside to step up.

Is this thread serious? First of all, 15-10 is a good record, roughly a 50 win pace.

I don't know how anyone can look at that group and expect much better results. Wade is 34 years old and Deng and Bosh are also on the wrong side of 30. Whiteside isn't as good as his numbers suggest. He still makes rookie-like mistakes on both sides of the ball and he doesn't even play 4th quarters. Dragic has played better of late, but overall he's been disappointing.

The Heat have also been without 2 key rotation players in TJ and McRoberts for the past 7 games, Deng has missed several games, and Green's incident earlier in the season led to him missing games. The Heat are doing well, all things considered, and they're still searching for cohesion and their identity. I don't think there's a single Heat fan who wouldn't have taken a 15-10 start in a heartbeat.

Bran Flakes? I love that shit. Helps me shit on my enemies

That's a better record than they had during the last 25 games that Bran was in the lineup. :confusedshrug:
