soxsoxsoxsox Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 QUOTE (kev211 @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 12:28 AM) Anyone else get the boredem vibe from the heat tonight? It almost seemed like they didn't want to be there. when i watch the heat i get the feeling like they're toying with everyone. cuz they never really give a full all out effort. it's just the way they approach things i guess like the regular season. you don't know how good they can be. it's weird.

Balta1701 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 5, 2012 -> 11:40 PM) Has to. And then Pat Riley and Co. need to take a look in the mirror and fire themselves. You have to give them the Bosh injury. But they've done a piss-poor job of putting together a sufficient cast around their stars. Other than Chalmers, there isn't one player on this roster I would accept a free autograph from. Personally I think there's some actual quality in their supporting cast, and it really does include the things the big 3 don't do (rebound, shoot 3 ball), but to have them be effective against tough challengers would require the Heat to play good, organized team ball. That's not what the big 3 want, they want the rest of their roster to get out of the way and not be needed while they get the sports center breakaway highlights. If a team puts pressure on them though, the big 3 need to count on them, but there's not trust or effort because they never bothered building that up. That would take effort an practice, and practice spoils the party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike other teams they've faced int he playoffs so far, the Celtics have the man power to take advantage of getting in their heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is they packed that roster with three max players and didnt leave them much money left over to fill in with quality supporting cast.

Quality supporting players aren't that expensive, especially when guys will sign there to try to win a title. Integrating quality supporting players into a team where 3 guys just want to get their highlights is a much bigger problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I believe Rondo's tip-pass assist off Wade's massive block shot to Pietrus in the corner for the 3 was the best pass I've ever seen. Someone prove me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes he gives a coach based opinion that is just idiotic "oh that wasn't a foul let them play. You don't need superstars getting fouls at this point in the game". And then other times he gives really good basketball insider opinions that are something that a normal person misses.

Someone prove me wrong. That might have been the play of the game, even more so than the 3 by The Truth. That block could have turned the whole game, and Rondo/Pietrus turned it null & void.

Brian Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 All this talk about breaking up the 3 if Heat lose this series is ridiculous. Not taking away from Boston but if Bosh is healthy and plays the whole series, I believe the series is over or Heat up 3-2 right now. IMO. Don't think they would beat OKC, but they are in the finals again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomSlowik Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Unless you can somehow get Dwight Howard, there's no real point in breaking them up. You can't trade the best player in the league, it'd be REALLY hard to find a deal that makes you better by dealing Wade, and as much as people like to give him s***, there aren't that many bigs that are better than Bosh and even fewer that are available. The east is pretty much gift-wrapped for next year with Rose out, all they have to do is stay healthy and not choke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Golden State wants to move the 7th pick for a veteran swingman, or move Wright & Biedrins/Jefferson, Toronto wants a veteran swingman for the 8th/Calderon/Davis, Hornets want to move the 10th pick. TIME FOR THE SAM SMITH TRADE HAT. Deng to Hornets for Ariza, Jack, #10. Ariza, Jack, + #29 to Raptors for #8, Calderon, Davis. #10 + Bobcats Pick + Watson (GS likes Watson again) for #7, Wright, Biedrins. Throw in Korver, Brewer, or Rip into any deals that might want them. Bulls draft Barnes & J. Lamb with #7 and #8. PG: Calderon, Kirk (MMLE) SG: Lamb, Wright SF: Barnes, Butler PF: Boozer, Gibson, Davis C : Noah, Asik, Biedrins Then new core becomes: Level 1: Rose Level 2: Noah, Barnes, Lamb Level 3: Gibson, Butler, Mirotic SAM SMITH HAT OFF. But seriously if the Bulls could do this, I'd be down. Bulls In: Calderon, Davis, #8, #10. Bulls Out: Deng, #29, K/B/H (any of Korver, Brewer, Rip), Watson Raptors In: Jack, Ariza, #29 Raptors Out: Calderon, Davis, #8 Hornets In: Deng, K/B/H, Watson Hornets Out: Jack, Ariza, #10 Then if the Bulls got any combination of Harrison Barnes, Jeremy Lamb, and Terrence Ross I'd be ecstatic.
