dayummmmmmm! no ****ing way. They must of discovered and implemented a new stat because he is pretty good at hiding his garbage stats.
Drose REALLY needs to learn how to become Chris Paul. The Bulls will not go far if Rose is Russell Westbrook. Miami's poor play has been a month long issue now. Wade and Bosh are just not there. LBJ simply can't carry the whole load. Dude basically ran out of gas tonight. And the bench got outscored 47-7. Jesus.
Spo is a terrible coach, but he always has been. Wade simply is just not Wade for the past 3 weeks. Very inconsistent scoring, can't make jumpshots, not getting to the line, lazy getting back on defense. Hopefully he's just coasting till the playoffs b/c this isn't the normal Wade that we usually see. Bosh - just been a bum since the break. He was actually decent tonight. And now they're re-integrating MIller back in, the rotation changes game by game. I still say this team goes to the Finals. Boston simply can't beat this team 4 out of 7 times. Chicago simply can't expect for role players to play like this 4 times out of 7; and Drose just doesn't play well v. LBJ. Winning the Finals is a different issue. But OKC is struggling themselves so their Finals berth is also in jeopardy.
A friend of mine that was at the game told me he saw Shane Battier sticking his tongue out at coach Spo during a time out and mocking him. Does anyone have a video of this? I don't believe it.
Shane "-34" Battier and his old buddy Mike "I never know where my man is on defense" Miller on the court at the same time equals fail for the Heat. Just like old times in Memphis where those two went winless in the playoffs getting swept year after year.
I really hope Shane gets benched for the playoffs. The dude SUCKS. Mike Miller needs to get back FAST.
To top things off, the Heat are stuck with Battier for two more seasons too. Even at around $3 million a year, that scrub is still overpaid.
I think the problem with Miami is that they are just tired. The compressed season is getting to them. At this point they are very beatable in the playoffs.
Chicago is also not in a good postion. Even though they played well without Rose they do not have enough talents to win in the playoffs if Rose does not play like Rose of last year. And right now I don't think they have enough time to put it together before the playoffs.
