#39horribly designed play. they have done that a couple times this year with bosh at the top of the circle. he's 1/3 on those 3's in big moments i'm pretty sure. Lebron has yet to hit 1 this season. Wade hit 3 straight 3's against the bulls with under a minute left to go in the game to put them up by 1 when bosh and lebron were both out.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -

#42I can't believe they blew a lead like that. Good thing I had the Magic in the second half. I thought they'd bring it back close but to come back in and win was impressive.Comment -

A) The play wasn't called for him
B) He has hit those shots before.
Maybe instead of blaming the coach, how about the 2 best players in the league that were like 19/20 in the 1st half with like 50 points completely disappeared for the whole 2nd half.Comment -

Chris Bosh is worthless to a title contender. He's much better off in the middle of nowhere putting up fake numbers that mean absolutely nothing to a team's bottom line (i.e., Toronto).Comment -

#47Ladies, don't loss your sleep over it. They have 22 games to play, still time to fix it.
Part of the Heats problems is they got no bench or just not deep enough. if you notice the big 3 each played 40 mins flat per game, they got no fresh leg down the stretch. Against losing teams they handled it well but against winning teams that very physical impose and a defensive match up will force difficult shot for sure.Comment -

This team needs a veteran coach who can play the role of babysitter, psychologist and zen master (like you know who). Then, when games are on the line, he can step in with the X's and O's.
Until that happens -- which it won't on LeBron's watch -- this team won't sniff a title. LeBron needs to decide if he wants all the glamour and attention or if he wants a ring. His priorities are screwed up, and he ain't gettin' any younger.Comment -

#49Fix what? I hate the Heat more then any of you but some of you are just spewing irrational shit. They have the 4th best record in the league and you're acting like they just got swept in the 1st round or something. Save the hate for when they choke in the play-offs (if they do).Comment -

Loss to the Clippers - hits a 3 with 12 seconds to go to cut it to a 4 point lead
Loss to the Grizz - hits a 3 with 31 seconds to cut the lead to 2
Loss to the Hornets - hits a 3 with 7 seconds to cut the lead to 1
And the comeback vs the Wizards.
Still think its a bad play? I take it you dont really watch your team play all that much.
Can you go find me how many 3 pointers Lebron hit in the last 30 seconds of a close game? Wade too for that matter.Comment -

#56How about doing it FOUR times THIS season? Does that make it ok.

#57You think it's just a coincidence that they can't beat any of the heavy hitters in the NBA?
I think people are expecting miracles from them (like winning 5 championships or breaking bulls 70 game mark). If you think a team with the 4th best record has no chance at winning the title you are in major denial. I dont think they will win it this year, but i wouldn't be shocked if they do. But if they add a few good peaces they will get one eventually. Spoelstra is not the Heats problem although at the end of the day people might make him the scapegoat.Comment -

#59I think this is a team with no bench that has played all of 50 some games together, without a healthy pre-season.

#60Spoelstra may not be the main "problem," but expecting a coach with very little sideline experience and even less experience balancing this kind of talent to just somehow magically lead a team to a championship is asinine.
That, and expecting a team with no post presence to win a title is equally asinine.Comment -

#62Wade needs to step up and take command of what always has been and always will be his team. He should be the guy taking the shots at the end of games. Not ******* chris bosh. Hell not even lebron. You call up a play for your 4 to shoot a 3 to tie the game?? Nice play call spo. Oh yeah, and they just blew a 24 point lead at home. Team has problems all over the place.Comment -

#63Super good write up man.
As long as a team does not give up, they have just as good of a chance as the team next to them. Many teams chasing the same goal, bring home the trophy. Until you are knocked out of the playoffs, you are still in the hunt.Comment -

#64I dont expect them to win this year, nor do i want them to. But to think Lebron and Wade have no chance of winning a title because of Spoelstra or Bosh or Dampier...now that IS asinine. Like i said, if you can't admit to yourself just how good those 2 are then you are in denial.
Anyway, i'm not enjoying this discussion at all. I HATE the Heat yet i somehow put myself in the position that i'm defending them. So i'm done.Comment -

I forget the exact stats on bosh but weren't they like 3 playoff wins and 5 lotteries during his time in toronto. He's a nice player, but was absolutely lucky to be a free agent when he was. He is nowhere near the level that everyone projects him at as a max guy. Games against boston and chicago prime examples.Comment -

I'll guarantee rumors of trading bosh will swirl in the offseason if the heat are bounced early in the playoffs.Comment -

Does Joe Johnson project as a max guy?
Does Kenyon Martin project as a max guy?
Does Rashard Lewis?
Does VInce Carter?
Thats just off the top of my head.
They all got max deals in their time too. Bosh is no different.Comment -
