Watch Batter finally get Defensive 1st team now that he'll get exposure on the Heat. This is already starting to piss me off.
I think Battier is viewed as a villain to fans outside of team he plays for or played for in the past. He'll fit right in with the Heat in terms of getting hated on. I think it's probably cause he's a Dukey. He's going to help that team a ton and I wish him well.
He's a consumate professional and deserves a championship. I'm just torn because I don't Lebron to win, while Sippin my haterade.
He will get plenty of minutes just backing up Wade and LeBron. Who else do they have to do it? James Jones? House?
This is terrible, but not as bad as when Elie left for the Spurs, or Shandn Andersn signed with the Rockets.
I doubt he gets many minutes with Wade, and LeBron. Wade LeBron Battier Bosh Will this be the year Spoelstra accepts that he has to play his stars out of position at times to win? Bosh needs to quit being a b****, hit the weight room, and put in minutes at the 5.
I'd have been happy if he'd stayed apart from the Heat. But now that he's a part of the Heat, he's lost to me...
James Jones avg 20 mpg last year. Miller avg 20 mpg. This is with LeBron and Wade playing around 38 mpg. You don't need either playing that much. there is plenty of time for Battier.
AS much AS I HATE the MIAMI heats...I'm happy for SHANE even tho...I hope LEBRON DONT GET A RING..i want SHANE TO GET IT. But i still that ain't Enough ShaNe only can do so much but Actions speaks so wait till the season start...and im on this site every dang second to see any news...lol
I doubt he gets many minutes considering he's getting older. A tired LeBron/Wade is going to be too tempting to Erik Spoelstra.
He may be the missing piece the Superfriends need. A superior defender who can hit 3's in the 4th quarter.
