get the starters back in to finish
ASK IRA: What is Q-Rich's function?
Q: What's the over/under with the number of games before Spoelstra gives us Haslem in the starting lineup over Richardson? Haslem is our second most complete player and we did not get the lead over the lowly Knicks until he was out there with Wade. -- Pablo. A: It comes down to Quentin's functio...
i commend cook for playing but 1 for 9 don't force what ain't there

so lebron mentored hickson this summer to help his young teammate's growth. i never heard wade doing such a thing, wade is the clear leader on the court but what about off?
Continuity? Not even close for Heat
The countdown is about to begin, with Sunday just 10 days before the Oct. 28 regular-season opener against the New York Knicks. Yet since the preseason opener, back on Oct. 5, the Heat has not had its projected starting lineup intact, let alone any semblance of a rotation. Granted, injuries hav...
the wizards seem to always play the cavs well when they have everyone healthy. i would love to see those 2 at full strength in the playoffs
Arroyo: Fancy passes or passing fancy?
The raves came Tuesday, just as they did a year ago at this time. Last October, the gushing was about Shaun Livingston's passing, the way the former first-round pick moved the ball during one particular practice. Less than three months later, Livingston was gone, to now meet the Heat as a member...
arroyo assist to jones for a corner 3, ira mentioned they have hooked up for a few of those in practice. maybe they have found something in that second unit

if only cook could produce like that on a consistent basis when the games matter
Spurs 95, Heat 93
Observations from Sunday's 95-93 exhibition loss to the Spurs at AmericanAirlines Arena: No Dwyane Wade, Jermaine O'Neal, Quentin Richardson and Chris Quinn for the Heat. No Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili for the Spurs. Duncan and Ginobili didn't even make the trip. How can anyone, in good consci...
who has a worse starting pg than miami going into the season?
in the offseason miami needs to use some of that freed up money for a pg
Point guard should have been addressed previously
This is why the Heat needed a veteran point guard in camp. No, not because of the strained rib muscle that will sideline Dwyane Wade for at least Sunday's exhibition against the visiting Spurs.And, no, not because of the sprained right foot that has backup point guard Chris Quinn in a walking bo...
another mediocre season ahead
Beas joins the threes; will it be with ease?
It makes sense because it makes the most sense. No, Michael Beasley is not a prototypic small forward. And if Udonis Haslem wasn't entrenched at power forward, the Beasley experiment likely never would have been necessary.But starting Beasley at small forward is the right move for this team. At ...
no q-rich tonight?

not heat related but i have a question? since when did monte ellis become a coach? he isn't even kobe status and trying to make demands and dictate who should be on the warriors roster, how much longer do they put up with this kid
Heat: Better than people think?
The theme at Monday's Heat media day was typical of what Erik Spoelstra has offered in his individual interviews in recent days, that this team can exceed expectations. Fair enough, that's what a coach is supposed to offer, and the type of sentiment that can't be put to any tangible test for ano...
i guess riley's concerns have proven to be right, as i say let the man work. his staff pushed him to draft beas and now look at the situation
Beasley's tweets resonate before going silent
For the second time in less than a month, Heat forward Michael Beasley is out of the Twitter business, this time, perhaps, for good. Beasley's latest Twitter account, GorillaBeas, disappeared sometime overnight Saturday.That was shortly after he self-posted a photo (seen below) of a new "SuperCo...
bye wade we are going to miss you man!
no way in hell wade atays in miami if beasley is suppose to be the cornerstone next to him. beasley is turning out to be a huge disappointment, i always wanted MAYO anyhow.

chi bulls lineup in 2011
rose
wade
deng
thomas
noah
with a upgrade at center, could do well in the east
Can Beasley be a three for all?
The decision ultimately will be made by Erik Spoelstra sometime during training camp. But there will be plenty of other influences in play. Will Michael Beasley see considerable time at small for...
shaq's ego is too big, he would retire before coming off the bench
James, Bosh playing the 2010 waiting game
The 2009 offseason essentially is over for LeBron James and Chris Bosh. Both have decided to bypass the option of extending their contracts this summer, with the focus now on their 2010 opt-outs. Dwyane Wade hasn't made as public a proclamation as James ...
anyone think riley would go back to the bench in 2011 if he indeed puts together a stellar team? i just don't see spo as a coach leading a team to a title
ESPN says Heat's in strong spot for 2010 offseason
Sometimes, it's hard to accept the long view when that view is being offered from a member of the organization that is stressing such patience. Understood. When Pat Riley speaks, there clearly is a pro-Heat perspective. It's who he is, what he does. ...
i agree if its ai and tinsley then no long-term committment but i don't like the idea of this current roster going against the improved east, could very well mean missing the playoffs next season
Who's willing to play second fiddle to Chalmers?
Yes, Mario Chalmers had a pleasant rookie season for a second-round pick in 2008-09. But we're not talking Derrick Rose here, or even Russell Westbrook. Yet if you didn't know better, you'd swear that it was Chalmers, not Heat teammate Michae...
is beverly signed yet?
Standing Pat: Story of the Heat's offseason
Debate, if you will, whether change is good. What can't be debated, however, is the stark lack of change this offseason by Pat Riley and the Heat. How stark? Only two of the NBA's 30 teams have f...
any thoughts on reymond felton? with the bobcats having dj augustine, i don't see why they would commit long-term to felton

i knew odom was toying with miami. anyway glad that saga has ended, what are miami's other options at this point? plz get a pg
Riley's patience not rewarded, but should be praised
No, he didn't get his man. From that perspective, Pat Riley's pursuit of Lamar Odom was a failure. But the Lakers also didn't get their man back until July 30, which meant that the Heat posed a legitimate threat, made Odom at least think about a South Florida re...

A logical endgame: Udonis for Lamar
So the Lakers don't want to commit significant long-term money to a 30-year-old Lamar Odom? Understood, considering where they find themselves against the dollar-for-dollar luxury tax. So the Heat isn't as concerned because just about...
screw odom, any news on tinsley possibly coming to miami? if miami can get another ballhandler, i hear hakim warrick is available, decent enough sf next to wade who can score
