I hate to be the first one to say this

But if the Heat were serious about winning a ring this year, as they say they were, they have to start turning things around. I know there is still plenty of games left, but we are loosing to teams we should not be loosing to

I know the Nuggets are not mediocre

But we have the “Big 3” and they don’t. However, the “Big 3” have not shown up to this game yet. They seem to be asleep

by Miami Marlins 2012 on Jan 13, 2012 11:18 PM EST up reply actions  

You’re absolutely right! Clips and nuggets great teams??? You’re on crack. They’re both very good teams, but far from great. Miami its the team that’s supposed to be great. Clips might have a chance to be great after their players develop and chemistry builds, but not quite great.

by implicit on Jan 13, 2012 11:22 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Need that since we don't have any real post up big men...

Wade is our best post up player and he is 6’4", Bosh can do some of that but not a lot. We needed that young big center pick up.

Maybe its the thin Denver air

Playing in thin air with little time to get used to it can be tough, and these games so close to each other are not helping

Denver is better at breaking than Miami is

Miami’s break is dependent on two stars. Denvers entire 10 man rotation can run.

Everything comes down to coaching

We keep losing cus of bad coaching. It’s spo’s job to put the best line up on the floor. Lebron surrounded by a bunch of scrubs is not the answer. These line ups are obviously not working. We need a change

Well, we have no idea how good this team is...

don’t read the Heat index so much or press or believe the hype. We are a good team relatively—8-4. I think not picking up that younger defensive center is starting to show on d. Hell even big z and Damp with their slow selves could clog up the lane with size. Gotta get back to winning with D.

but I’ll wait and see how things turn out a little after 12 games. Go Heat! Amirite?

Fair enough,

but every year is differnent IMO. 12 games in, the Heat are relatively good. Is what it is. Go Heat!

i disagree...

this team should rarely lose 2 game in a row, but they should never lose 3. I am very disappointed thus far. hopefully we learn from this skid

As I said I'm not really happy about the last three games...

but what part do you disagree with: the Heat are relatively good? The Heat are supposed to be a great team right now (I think they have a lot of potential and could be great but I don’t like that we did not get better a center. Time will tell)? every year is different? 12 games is not a good sample size to determine how good they can be? or all the above. The Heat need to get back to winning with defense first and foremost. They lost close to one bad team by letting up, they lost to a decent team close and this one here was the worst: lost to an 7-4 relatively good team by a ton—three game west coast road trip which is tough but no excuses.

The Heat need to get back to winning with defense first and foremost. Get healthy Wade. Get aggressive Bosh—to the damn rim. I’m mainly a fan mind you so I try to go to the end with optimism even in this clusterbleep of a game.

Hey

just was wondering if there is any update on Wade’s injury?

Kobe: "Listen, if you told me at the beginning of the year that we’ve got two games at home to win a championship, yeah, I’ll take that shit"

by hrghori on Jan 14, 2012 1:20 AM EST reply actions  

he walked off on his own power

so its probably nothing major, the bigger concern is that with this shortened season, its possible it could become a nagging injury. Pride aside, maybe miami should shut wade down for a good amount of time so that he can heal up fully for the playoffs. Lebron and bosh should be able to keep the team afloat, and the new guys have gotta learn to take over some of the load anyway. Bringing wade back would increase the risk of reinjury, its not something you would want. You wanna be as close to full strength come playoff time….regular season wins are worth risking imho

I dont care what the D.N.A. Says, the Guy wearing number 12 Cannot be Kirk Hinrich, he is definetly Kurt. Kirk can actually play basketball!

TeamHeat

The reality is we are a real good team but we had 2 weaknesses on our team and we didn’t adress either one….I know Cole is good but right now he is not better than Chalmers and Eddy Curry hasn’t played a min yet but if this is our squad let’s go Heat
