MiamiHeraldHeat's Profile

Trucker, I love your imagination but, I mean, seriously? The Heat couldn't even woo Joel Przybilla. The Heat has nothing to offer except a minimum salary deal. More importantly, what's up with Eddy Curry? I mean, this guy must be pretty far gone if he can't move past Dexter Pittman on the depth chart. -joe

Commented Mar 3, 2012 on LeBron James passes up final shot after another brilliant game at Heat Check

Pittman is better than Pryzbilla, in my opinion. -joe

Commented Feb 11, 2012 on Dexter Pittman, not Eddy Curry, the Heat's biggest loser at Heat Check

Actually, he already shaved his head. He wears a wig. -joe

Commented Jan 29, 2012 on Dwyane Wade returns with bounce in his step at Heat Check

Guys, I don't think LeBron is going to Cleveland! That was kind of the point of the blog post. You know, just pointing out I thought the idea was ridiculous. -joe

This article is a load of BS! This non-info could possibly satisfy your editor for your lack of a story. But us Heat fans ain't buying!!!! You should have your *** kicked for calling yourself a journalist.

As strange as it sounds, Lebron actually hampers the Heat. He takes away from the talent of the other players. Unlike Magic, Bird, Jordan, Zeke and the likes in the past, Lebron makes no one better. Posted by: Solomon Richardson | Friday, January 20, 2012 at 04:31 PM _____________________________________________________ This has got to be a joke! LeBron has made Chalmers, James Jones, Mike Miller and Shane Battier better players this season. Check the three-point percentages this season. The Heat is shooting 40 percent from three-point range. It's a direct result of James being more aggressive in the post and getting guys open on the perimeter. LeBron has made Joel Anthony a better player. He's forced Joel to learn how to catch a pass! -joe

Joe, check the numbers on the 3 point shooting. What you wrote doesn't add up. Or divide, whatever. Posted by: Mr. B | Friday, January 20, 2012 at 07:25 AM ___________________________________________________ Thanks. Brief bout with dyslexia there. -joe

Commented Jan 20, 2012 on LeBron dominates showdown against Kobe at Heat Check

Eddy Curry should be cleared to play soon. The hope is that he adds some offense from the center position. I was just talking about Joel's defense. He does seem to disrupt a lot of shots in the paint. At some point in the third quarter, I glanced at the stats monitor to check the points in the paint and the Heat led 32-18. Joel has a lot to do with those numbers. -joe

Commented Jan 12, 2012 on Second overtime loss in a row for the Heat at Heat Check

I don't think anyone was happy with the loss, maybe content with some aspects of how they played. It's like being upset with your game even if you've won, but played poorly. Chalmers is playing well now, like him closing games. Posted by: Greg Gembe | Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 11:49 AM ____________________________________________________ Excellent point. -joe

Commented Jan 12, 2012 on Second overtime loss in a row for the Heat at Heat Check

Credit the loss to Spo? You realize LeBron didn't take a shot in the fourth quarter and Wade was 1 of 8, right? The West Coast swing is catching up to them, that's all. I wouldn't be surprised if they lost the next two games. -joe

Commented Jan 11, 2012 on Dwyane Wade returns for loss to Golden State at Heat Check

I don't see the Heat trading anyone. The team is happy with the young players they have and are looking forward to developing them. In the long run, developing Gladness and Pittman will help when the more punitive luxury tax kicks in. They're not spending anymore money on a center. Plus, they've got Eddy Curry, who will be joining the rotation soon. -joe

Commented Jan 10, 2012 on Wade, Chalmers sit out practice at Heat Check

I agree. Gladness is very long and plays above the rim. He can develop into a very nice player. -joe

Commented Jan 10, 2012 on Wade, Chalmers sit out practice at Heat Check

What's the latest update on Wade? Does he still have a sore foot? Did anybody miss the trip besides Curry? Inquiring minds... Posted by: riosaddles | Monday, January 09, 2012 at 11:58 AM ______________________________________________ Haha, nice handle...The latest on Wade is the same on Wade, his foot is holding him out. He really wants to be on the court and is shooting for Tuesday against Golden State. I'll see how he's feeling here in a few hours and report back. Check my Twitter account because the news will be posted there first. (www.twitter.com/MiamiHeraldHeat) Practice is supposed to end around 1:30 local. -joe

Commented Jan 9, 2012 on POSTCARDS: When in San Francisco, take time to smell the redwoods at Heat Check

Wade was 1 of 6 in the fourth quarter. McGrady was 3 of 3 from three-point range. There's the game. -joe

Commented Jan 3, 2012 on HAWKS 100, HEAT 92: Wade and Miami slowed by zone defense at Heat Check

2) What was Spo thinking in the last minutes. He knows Norris can light it up. There was a game where Norris came in and took over, exploiting the zone that he's knows so well since he spent 4 yrs in college. Why keep Chalmers in along with Wade, when both were stinking up the place. I know why you keep Wade in - and that's not on Spo, but as a coach when you have two players making bone headed plays and turning the ball over, at some point you have to put in the rookie for scoring and hope he makes something happen. 3) After Dallas, etc. used zone and slowed Miami, why hasn't Spo found a zone buster yet? He has a basic offense to combat the zone, but he doesn't have a rotation. Before players can get comfortable with the zone, he's rotating them out, except for bone headed chalmers. Posted by: energy_bust | Tuesday, January 03, 2012 at 09:54 AM ______________________________________________ I see where you're coming from with Cole, but Chalmers entered the game shooting 9 of 12 from three-point range. -joe

Good call, Don. I went back and watched it more closely. Amazingly similar! Thanks for the heads up. The blog is updated. -joe

Commented Jan 2, 2012 on Touchdown Miami, again at Heat Check

Heat don't have the trade chips to get Cousins. Even if they did, Miami probably isn't the best fit for him at this point in his career. Needs to suck it up Sacramento and quit crying. -joe

i think heat must decide now to waive Miller... it so quite sad to let him go but we got to face reality that he is injury prone type... get rid of House for roster spot and hoping that heat would NOT pick up Juwan Howard to waste a roster spot... Posted by: rockstarjc | Friday, December 02, 2011 at 08:01 AM ______________________________________________ Eddie House is under contract this season and will be on the team unless he is traded, which doesn't seem likely. -joe
