Why are you going off on random tangents again? I'm criticizing Bosh's rebounding, and that the guards' rebounding are up specifically because their frontcourt isn't doing it. What you are saying is on par with arguing that Houston does not suffer from a superstar problem because we are 5th in offense in the league. And they DO have a center, they have a true center unlike the Rockets. Don't make up facts. And a few teams, with less superstars than Heat, are doing well without significant center production. The Thunder doe not really on Perkins' offense, and neither does Portland. Why? Because their frontcourt are capable on the rebounds and the defensive end. (and Aldridge for Portland). And what were you expecting from the center production of the Miami Heat anyways? Erica averages 2 shots per game, Joel Anthony even less. Big Z is the only one who averages more than that, but the garbage minutes he plays inflated some of that number. How could you expect a consistent offensive production from their center? The superfriends average 51 shot per game, how do you expect offense from their center when they aren't shooting? And stop acting like Bosh's stats are the greatest thing since slice bread. He takes 14 shots per game. That's on par with guys like Boozer or West who take similar amount of shots to get the same amount of points. His production is expected with the number of shots he takes.
a yahoo article talked about how james will have his 7th straight season of 2000 points or more (only missing 2points). karl malone has the most with 12 seasons. bron should be able to tie that in the next 5 years. furthermore, lebron will have his 6th 2000pt, 500reb, 500ast season of his career, tied with oscar for most in the history of the NBA. he should obliterate this when he retires. larry bird has 3 and jordan has 2. this guy will break a lot of NBA records when he's done playing. the only thing missing is that ring.
Heat one game back of LA now. LA still has Portland, OKC and SA (they may rest players that game though). Heat still have Boston left.*
There's a pretty good chance that the winner of that game will have HCA over the Fakers should they both make the Finals.
Besides working out how to play with each other and getting everyone involved. Miamis biggest flaws are oviously at the PG and C. The big 3 wil l work things out and will only improve, they are just too damn good not to. Biiby, Chalmers, BigZ, Dampier, Magloire and Joel Anthony isnt supporting their big 3 at all. This is where they need obvious upgrades. Ed Curry is not the answer. They will have 5 centers if they decide to add Curry. On the other hand - James Jones and Eddie House have been kocking down open 3s consistantly. Mike Miller will bounce back when he is fullly healthy againt and Haslem will be huge once he comes back. A healthy Miller and Haslem will make this team so much more potent. Miami will be the team to beat next season, they will have resolved their chemistry issues. The big 3 will be in synch, Miller and Haslem will return healthy. These two facts alone will make them so much better. Then if they can upgrade those PG and C postitions, watch out yall.
Mike Bibby is hitting 49% of his threes since joining the Heat. He single-handedly kept them in that game against Cleveland when the Big Two weren't doing anything through most of the third quarter. I would say he's contributing exactly what he's supposed to be contributing. They knew he sucked defensively before they signed him.
that Octavnus dude said after the LA win the would only lose 1 game the rest of the season!!! BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAA FAIL!!!!
lebron should not have passed at all in the 4th; he was too passive. bosh missed like 4 open midrange jumpers. when they were down 4 and lebron decided to score, he did. then delfino hit a huge 3. props to the bucks. miami is really top heavy.
Wade was out but they still should have won. Bucks were on the tail end of a back to back against the Magic. Heat's last game was on Sunday.
I guess Octavius and his "life partner" aren't going to be watching a Grease lightning marathon tonight. The party is over and winning without Wade seems nearly impossible.
It really is a shame that all Mike Miller has is the energy. I wonder if he rushed his comeback a bit. Really didn't need that 28-foot 3 from LeBron with 12 seconds left. No patience whatsoever. I think the Heat would have loved to have this one.... full rest, playing a non-offensive team that was coming off a back-to-back, looking to eke ahead of the Celtics in the standings. Now, seems to me that they're hinging on the Boston game to determine where they will end up. Ronny, I lol'd a bit at your comment...
I mean, never mind the fact that they have a game on Sunday that pretty much decides where they end up But keep telling yourself that 82 games mean nothing....
