The Trophies Remain, The King Never L3ft #HeatLifer: Miami Heat 2014-15 Season Thread

[DetroitEWarren]

Regardless of the new adjustment, Wade still has to lead by an example by setting up the tempo and stay aggressive.

I would love to say this is a legit criticism, but while watching the on the court action Wade never looks as if he is not attacking. I admit, I have seen him pass up some wide the fukk open shots at the basket after he has beat the 2nd defender, but I can chalk that up to the fact that all those passes got an open shot every single time .

I gotta chalk it up to the coaching cause SPO continues to not go to Wade in the post and give him the rock 30 feet away from the basket. He usually creates something from 30 feet but any smart coach would make sure his best perimeter player gets the ball closer to the basket, especially when the nikka is shooting something like 80% from post ups. I would be playing him on some straight 96-98 MJ type of shyt and he would at least touch the rock down there every other possession. Spo is being exposed, the blame should go straight to him

Ive been saying you guys are likely to get a top 3 seed if not top2. What's your point exactly?

Well we are and have always been projected to be a top 1/2 seed right now overcheaaaaa

My opinion on "why" that is for wade.. he been injured and you don't want him posting too much because that is more wear n tear on his already fragile knees. He's like Derrick Rose Brandon Roy
Playoff time, I see Wade beasting out this year if healthy. Do you believe he'll be healthy all season tho?

After a few years of never making the playoffs he will be a free agent. Then Riley makes him and offer he can't refuse *Don corleone*

If im Riley i start findig out wht the guy is into through his known friends and associates. If he loves women, i make sure the arena is packed with dimes whenever he comes to play Miami in the front tows.
I'll learn his hobbies, habbits. Everything.

Hey there Miami fans, Just wanted to chime in for a moment to let you dudes know the Wizards are leading the division and conference at the moment
Since Nene came back from suspension we haven't lost. And Beal still hasn't played all season
So you faced a wizard team minus two starters and didn't dominate

Long story short, have fun looking up all season.

Sincerly yours,

dcRISING

But weren't you saying you'd beat us in the season opener despite not having those starters?

NOLA matching any offer and will surely sign him to an extension next summer anyway

NOLA will match anything he gets.

We just need a couple of extra pieces. A solid center (Hell, even someone like Javale McGee), a good defensive PG that can shoot (Mike Conley or Beverly type), and a spark off the bench.

Conley/Napier
Wade/Chalmers
Deng/Ennis
Bosh/McRoberts
Javale/Birdman

We'd give every team in the NBA nightmares. We're a damn good team right now and we're still going through growing pains. Our biggest problems is we force some shots in our half-court offense and we don't always play the hot hand.

We also need a rim protector to go with Bosh who is a PnR defensive monster and extremely intelligent. It just sucks because we either gotta let Williams bang with those bigs and get feasted on or let Bosh do it but lose that PnR Magic and let him get worn out.

A good one on one post defender that's also a good rebounder, a defensive playmaking PG, and a shooter.

Nah.. Really??? You think???

Cleveland would have matched anything for LeBron in 2010. Toronto would have done the same for Bosh too. Lakers would have done the same for Dwight. Bottom line is if a player decides to leave there's nothing the team can do but either be smart and cooperate to get an S&T or get nothing in return.
We just need him to want to leave badly enough. Sure it's a pipe dream at this point but I've heard worst in here

Anyway, focusing back on our current situation; I need to see McRoberts healthy and gelling with the current front court to see how good we can be for real. Outside of Bosh being a small center our front court is pretty big when you consider how big our SF (Deng) is. Combine that with McBobby Digital being as tall as he is all we gotta do is play smart when playing dominant bigs

Davis would be restricted free agent, If his team matches he has to stay.

These new age superstars are something else, they don't revere Riley as much as some of the older guys 30+ who have been around the game. I don't even want to see Riley waste his time with a Davis/Durant type, it ain't happening. That being said, it is Miami, players are going to come regardless, just not necessarily the big fish

This was one of the issues in had with waiting until 2016. Particularly since we might be wasting Wade last quality years.
