The Heat will be a dangerous team in the playoffs. They are just very unmotivated. When motivated and on the same page they are a totally different team.
A bit of pleasing misdirection from the Heat
Give the Heat credit. It has done something in recent days I wasn't sure was possible. It has found a way to push 2010 free agency to the side.A series of wildly divergent results, from the routs of Indiana, Washington and Sacramento to the 39-point humiliation in Charlotte, have put the focus b...
Enough is enough....pull Beasley.
ASK IRA: Why was Wade in so late against Wizards?
Q: Unlike some of the others that write here, I like Spo. However, with less than three minutes left against Washington and up by more than 20, what is Wade doing in the game? They are in the midst of playing five games in seven days. -- John. A: And four in five nights. Yup, he wasn't pulled un...
Wade 8 of 10, 19pts. Efficiency pays off, incredible.

Wade at the PG, Dorrel at SG and Q Rich at SF is not a bad line up.

Not sure why we did not use this line up against the Bobcats.

Beasley operating at the top of the key and taking his man off the dribble makes sense against slower PF but against SF that can defend the perimeter it does not make any sense. He needs to get the ball in the low post. Not sure if it is the coaching why he is not making the adjustment.

Why is Beasley not asking for the ball in the low post?

I thought Spo was and understudy of Riley and not Phil Jackson. Spo is a philosopher. On the Washington game.
"Tonight was about inspiring each other, inspiring your teammate with your effort, your motor, with your purity," a philosophical Spoelstra said.
What does Spo mean by purity?

Why is Beasley not posting up Wallace. The couple of times they tried to feed him in the post the other team ends up with the steal. Heat is playing horrible maybe they celebrated too much last nite. That's the problem with these young teams.
ASK IRA: To what depths has the Heat depth fallen?
Q: Did you mention "Heat" and "depth" in the same sentence? If "Heat depth" isn't the biggest oxymoron, then I don't know what is. -- Brad. A: I don't recall that. I think this team's depth has been an illusion all season, beyond Udonis Haslem, who has established legitimate sixth-man credentia...
I can't believe that it is so difficult to figure out why Beasley has low scoring second halves. It seems so obvious. They go away from him. Plus he has been in foul trouble too.
ASK IRA: Can Arison force Riley to coach?
Q: If Riley swings for the fences and lands an "A-lister" this offseason, will he still keep Spoelstra as coach? I think Riley would love to coach another great team. The star player may not want to play for a rookie coach. The team might be more attractive to the incoming star with Riley as coac...
Haslem comes in the game and he immediately gets a zillion touches.

Q: It's quite obvious that the center and point guard positions are the weakest. Why does Spo' continue to start Jermaine? He has absolutely no lift in his legs, he can't finish wide-open layups, and cannot rebound in traffic. Why can't we just start Joel Anthony? -- James.
A: I agree there has been minimal payoff from Jermaine, but it's not as if there is much of an alternative. I do not think Joel is qualified as tBhe starting center for a playoff team.
------------
JO or Beasley should be coming off the bench. Actually if you start with Joel then the offense can run through Beasley at the begining. With JO coming off the bench they can run it through him. And Wade can always get his shots whenever he wants.

The experts having going high in the draft. But the two games I saw him in, I was not impressed. One of the games was against Georgia Tech and Favors and Lawal ran rings around him.
Bobcats 107, Heat 97
Observations from Saturday's 107-97 loss to the Bobcats at AmericanAirlines Arena: Worst loss of the season? We might have our winner right here, against a team that entered 1-14 on the road. This one came after the Heat went up 19 in the first quarter. The Bobcats had the Heat in total scramb...
Toronto is right on our tail for the 5th spot, the road trip is crucial.

Pefect we will get their pick. We can use it as a good trading chip.

Like I said, the best player available, and/or an athletic, defensive-minded roughneck that has a good b-ball IQ, and a good b-ball attitude. By around 2015, this guy should be ready to rule the paint...

Wright and Cook not really cutting it when it comes to tough defense. Wright is decent but not tough enough. Especially after coming off of his injury.

Does anyone think we can possibly get Alabi, from FSU? I think Greg Monroe (G-Town) might be more realistic. Kinda early to think about it, hunh?

Alabi is a twig. We need a tough center not a lightweight.

Quincy Pondexter (SF) for Perimeter defense and Dexter Pittman (C) are my two picks.

Our two best players are part time defenders. How can our identity be defense. We get raped by the other teams wing players. Our perimeter players have always sucked at defense and continue to suck.

Spo admitted that they did not adjust to the small ball.

We just lost to a team with a center rotation of Nazr Mohamed and Desagna Diop..... coaching doesnt matter.

That's why Beasley should have played the 5.

Beasley was in foul trouble because he got his 4th early in the 3rd due to a careless turnover he made
------------
Beasley was in foul trouble because he could not guard Wallace. And Spo could not adjust.
