Bosh situation will get VERY UGLY......
Since it looks like Bosh won't be playing 50+ losses is definitely in our future...
There's not really anything that can be done. He's a risk to put on the court. The heat and the league know it. He doesn't want to believe it, but it's the sad truth. I can't blame Riley either. Who wants the risk of someone dying on the court? He's got a shytload of cash in the bank, a huge house, a full trophy case, and a family at home. He's more than committed to the team and we should all commend him for it, but it isn't worth the risk to his health. I wish he'd see that too. I feel awful for bosh.

Basketball is all this dude knows and has worked hard for... We saw how emotional and heartbroken he was when he lost the finals in 2011. He's in his physical prime and he didn't foresee something like this ending his career. Fortunately for him he's a highly intelligent dude who has many options off the court so he should be good.

I still think we got enough to go .500
How exactly is this team going to score? You can't win if you can't score, and we have a coach who won't even draw up plays for Whiteside. shyt by the end of last season the only plays he had even for Wade after eight years were isolation/pick and roll at the top of the arc, isolation/pick and roll on the left block, and the very rare post up on the left block. You expect him to design an offense to cover up the fact that none of our guys can score in the half court?

It's not my job to figure out how...but I think if the players play to their potential and the coaching is on point they can me a decent team.

.500 is a beat case scenario.

What would you say is a realistic expectation?

Then Spo wins Coach of theYear

The only positions we can even be certain about above average production is starting PG & C. And we have no depth
Still need a backup small forward on top of Winslow needed to develop a jumper beyond what work he's already put in, still need a power forward and a backup, and still need a backup center.
