[DetroitEWarren]

So shyt has been up and down this season?????? fukked up I have pretty much missed all things NBA involved since Jan 8th. I aint even know we had Dragic until today. That was a great pick up, but it aint result in more wins . Low key, they have a very solid roster right now, even without Bosh. WTF has been the deal? Let me guess............ SPOLSTRA???

How else does a roster underachieve like we do or start Norris cole or leave Whiteside on the bench for an entire quarter or not even call a timeout to stop a run?

Even Pop couldn't coach a team up that regularly has to rely on contributions from D-league players. This isn't entirely his fault.

That's an understatement. Been all kinds of aggravating. I can't recall any point the last 3 months where I felt good about this team. If we don't sign dragic and some shooters in this offseason

If Dragic leaves and we lose our pick

Spoiler

On one hand we get to tank for Thon Maker

We only have 7-8 games left. We'd basically have to lose all those games to fall to the tenth pick.

True, but if Dragic leaves after this season(which I doubt), we'll be a 25-35 win team in a much better East next year. If he walks and lose our pick, I'm fine with that, because we'll likely draft top 10 and it'll make Spo's job less secure.

Frustrated guard Mario Chalmers questions role on Miami Heat

Frustration festered like an infected wound on Thursday night in the Heat’s postgame locker room.

On one end of the cramped space, Dwyane Wade spoke with muted dejection about his latest injury.

On the other end, Wade’s sometimes backup, Mario Chalmers, questioned his place on the team. As one of the Heat’s only uninjured players, Chalmers knows he has a lot to offer, but at this point he’s not quite sure how to do it. Seven games remain of this bewitched and broken season.

“I don’t even really know what my role is on this team anymore,” Chalmers told the Miami Herald. “I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing.”

This is what happens at the end of a season when the only constant over the past four months has been endless suffering, wave after wave of injuries slowly pulverizing rock-solid resolve into despair and confusion.

At different times this season, Chalmers has started at point guard and also at shooting guard. He also has backed up those two positions, and sometimes during the same game.

It’s all battlefield promotions and duct-taped ideas at this point, especially with Wade once again going down. Nothing makes sense anymore.

“A lot of people are out of rhythm, and you really don’t know what’s going to happen — when you’re going to get the ball, when you’re going to shoot it, you just never know. You just got to be ready for everything, I guess,” Chalmers said.

Playing either position is nothing new for Chalmers, of course, so it’s revealing when the Heat’s lack of stability has affected the team’s veteran combo guard.

During Thursday’s loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chalmers subbed in at point guard during the first quarter and then shifted over to shooting guard minutes later.

After Wade’s injury in the second quarter, Chalmers backed up both Goran Dragic and rookie Tyler Johnson, who started the second half at shooting guard.

Chalmers wasn’t complaining about his role on Thursday in that visiting locker room in Cleveland. He just couldn’t really explain it.

“I don’t know,” Chalmers said. “It’s something I’ve never experienced before. This is something new to a lot of people on this team, but we’ve got to make it work.”

And make it work soon, as in Saturday night against the Detroit Pistons at The Palace of Auburn Hills.

It's troubling when one of your vets doesn't know his role on the team.
