I feel bad for the Heat. I think the Rockets could wipe the floor with this team at this very moment. That team just isn't a complete team. The ball movement sux and it's basically Wade and Lebron vs the other team. Bosh is more of a nobody to role player at the moment as well. What a sad situation. I bet Lebron has regret of ever contemplating this Off Season move.
Im a little confused by the ppl saying rose is overhyped or whatever they were saying. Did he play bad in the final minutes? Yes, but he also put alot of pressure on the heat as they were running 2 players at him everytime he touched the ball. But what I really find the best is the lebron nutthuggers that say rose is really not elite and shouldnt be considered the mvp cause of this one game... Which they won I might add yet these same ppl claim lebron to be all mighty yet he missed the layup against a player he had a complete speen advantage against and hes also missed what 3 game winners in the last week and they guy has won just as much as drose.... Nothing. Rose is the real deal lebron fans need to just realize that theres other players in the nba that r just as good and deaerving of the mvp as him they play in chicago and la.
The Heat forum actually gave him a lot of credit, but you can see a few Lebron only fan a mile away. LOL
I don't feel sorry for the Heat at all. They could have gone to other cities that had full supporting casts instead they aligned and they're learning that it takes more then 2 studs to win games. If James or Wade went to Chi town they'd be the favorite to win right now... But hey people make mistakes.
According to the refreshed link, Bosh said he did not cry but almost did. He confirmed other players were crying.
Ok now that's ridiculous. Crying is definetly an over-reaction in this case. I mean this is only one loss in the regular season.
It's alot of things. I think they do have an inadequate coach that is in way over his head. I think they can at least play with better ball movement. The isolation plays don't work so great when you're dead tired or they know you rarely pass to a role player. It's like worse than a college team out there for Miami. They don't have a solid working rotation where they have multiple plays, it goes to either Wade or Lebron and only when there's an open shot for anybody else. There's no bigs cutting to the rim. Bosh doesn't do a good enough job. And no I'm not even close to being a Heat Fan, but a team with such premiere perimeter players and a guy in the post can't a find a way to play better?
I've really been trying to like the Bulls. But I just can't root for a team that has Carlos Boozer and Kyle Korver on it.
they don't have an inside game, this isn't hard. teams just make them shoot jump shots at the end of the game, if they aren't fastbreaking they are shooting jumpshots. good teams don't let them fastbreak at the end
Bosh just isn't close to being a superstar. He's not a post threat and I think Dwayne and Lebron should have picked a better third wheel but Amare probably did not want a pay cut. Miller is not working out and man are they in trouble because they don't have a competent team nor brought their team up to par. They won't have a post season because they'll probably get swept the first round.
Talent-wise Miami is there -- see the first half of this game. If they had Tom Thibodeau as their coach they would not lose games like this at home.
Why the focus on Bosh? He's had a good season and played well today. He was NOT the reason they lost. It seems like there is a negative obsession on Bosh, just to a much lesser extent than LeBron. No matter who the 3rd wheel would have been, they would have had a hard time playing off Wade and LeBron. You honestly think Amare would be satisfied with his touches? He'd be publicly complaining. With LeBron and Wade averaging 37 FGAs and 17 FTAs between them per game, the 3rd option on the Heat was going to have a hard time staying tuned up and relevant. LeBron and Wade scoring 47 first-half points against the Magic and 41 today, is it any wonder the Heat offense crashed in the 2nd half again?
Bosh was in the post way more in Toronto. We wanted this guy to come to Houston in the Off Season and part with Scola (who's way more of a post player). Bosh is indeed a 4 is he not? He could at least be a pivot threat cutting to the rim, rebounding, and back to the basket game (I'm not sure if he had 1). Instead this guy is out in the perimeter where Lebron and Wade are setting up plays. WTF?
ahh, the naivete. don't ever stop believing the heat can lose a game late. if paul milsapp has to make 52 3's in a row to make the heat lose, it will happen. i didn't even get to see the game but reading the play-by-play and seeing the highlights it was apparently the most perfect microcosm of their season you could ever want to see. step 1. heat get the lead against good team (up 12 at 49-37) step 2. heat blow lead up to about the last 1/3 of the 4th quarter (down 6 with 3:30 to go) step 3. despite claims that they usually don't, the heat actually again play like the better team down the stretch with lebron making plays to erase the deficit and take the lead or tie very late (heat go on 10-2 run to take 2 point lead, lebron 2 FGM and 2 AST during run) step 4. a miracle occurs and heat lose lead (in this case, the heat give up 3 points on a 2 shot foul because hey, why shouldn't the other team missing a game-tying free throw actually work out even better than making it) step 5. the heat miss a last second shot (lebron layup and wade pretty good look off of scramble for ball. now 1-16, with the 1 being a breakaway dunk to tie, so 0-15 when the defense makes it over halfcourt) 0-15 is beyond unclutch, it's just cursed. at this point, if a heat player had a breakaway dunk to actually win a game at the buzzer, i would fully expect the player to either blow out their acl going up or for a meteor to incinerate the building.
i know. it almost seems surreal. i mean even in a heat hater's wildest dreams could they have ever hoped for a season like this? where seemingly every meaningful moment except for the christmas game goes against the heat? even just a mediocre 37-26 type team probably wouldn't have been as much fun because they'd be too mediocre to care about losses. but they've won enough to seem top tier so every close loss just gets more painful. and they usually make it as dramatically bad as possible with late shots (and by late, i mean final 30 seconds, not just somewhere in the 4th quarter) by the other team and late missed shots my miami. it almost seems statistically impossible, but it just keeps happening.
