Has nothing to do with youth or pieces we're lacking we just didn't play defense tonight

Nah, it did. Our pieces don't mesh together well which is why he struggle with our overall consistency. We got guys like Dragic, Winslow, TJ and Bam who need to be running the floor, keeping the pace up, and attacking before defenses get set. We got guys like Whiteside, Olynyk, and now Wade who need the game to be slowed down because they just can't sustain a foot race.

Guys like Winslow, JJ, TJ, and now J-rich (With Wade's return) start struggling because they aren't getting defined roles because they're playing as stop gaps in a variety of positions, never getting to build a rhythm. J-Rich started showing his worth when his role got defined and he understood his purpose on the floor.

TJ's numbers have IMPROVED since Wade returned. I don't know why you threw winslow in there, that boy been trash most of the season and had his best offensive game in a while last night...before the 4th quarter anyway. Richardson will be fine. and the Team is averaging something like 108 points a game in the 7 games since wade's return. the offense has actually be "ok"

the heat were like the WORST offensive team in the league all damn season.

last night was about defense. period. the Lakers got off in they ass and they couldn't stop them. no one got physical with anyone on the Lakers. pick and pop coverage was soft as baby shyt. Randle bullied everyone in the 1st half, and then IT got off in the 2nd.

:dahell:

TJ is averaging 15 ppg since Wade's return

J-Rich has had the benefit of being in a defined role for the whole year. Nothing has changed with Wade coming back. Rich has always been a hot and cold player, its like a few good shooting games made people forget

Winslow has never had a defined role but he's played 2 of his best games of the year in the last 3

JJ's minutes have been down since Wade's return and thats a great thing..less is more with him, he cant stay out of his own way. Now the staff can stop acting like he's a star that should always have the ball in his hands.

Jrich was pretty good for us this season. More and more I enjoyed seeing the rock in his hands. But you may be right. Maybe I've been fooled by a couple good games. :jbhmm:

Some thought a 36yr old Wade would be hard for the offense to adjust too, but as it turns out Miami's numbers are better. We gotta figure out the dentist.
