i saw that too. if oden can give them like 8-10 minutes that would be huge. heat are gonna run birdman into the ground here down the final stretch if they cant get some big minutes from oden/haslem combo. or they can try to go small with bron at power forward and bosh at center but i feel like indy will beat them up in the paint if they go with that for too long

bosh being candid and honest - good short read

i feel like im in the minority in thinkin that bosh playin a more finess/3pt game is good for miami. i just think he should dial it back and only take wide open corner threes and the occasionally top of the key pick-n-pop 3. still would like to see him try to bang down low a little more but he seems pretty reserved to shootin jumpers and corner 3s now.

as usual, miami loafed and sleepwalked thru the first part of the game. and as usual they turned it on at the end of quarters and indy shat the bed.

it was about tied with around a minute left in the 3rd and bron hit a 3, then wade hit a 3 at the end of the quarter. then of course allen got scorching hott and it was over.


-bosh was a no show again
-hoped to see oden
-cole and birdman continue being huge difference makers
-spolstra adjusted way better than vogel
-david west should never have been on ray allen lol
-where was scola after the first quarter?
-wade has the heart of a champion

he really makes a world of difference


spurs didnt shoot the ball well tonight. i dont expect that next game but ibaka is a tough cover for the spurs. hes gotten reeeeally good in the mid range. such an underrated player imo

Haha very true. I must say i do like his experimental acquisitions and never really saw a small ball dynasty before I don't think.

Gotta go with heat tonight

That being said, Paul if LeBron James leaves the heat-which given wade's dominating resurgence in the post season playing every game and shooting an incredible 54% from the field this year, I don't think is likey-he could go somewhere else and do better.


Also worth noting, the draft this year. I'm really thinking that this next season is going to be crazy with all the talent.

Also also, sorry about Seattle not getting a team again. I don't know if you ever cared about that, but I am a huge proponent of NOT having two teams in the same city.

The only reason I sorta care is because a. The Sonics are my Trailblazers big rivals, b. I'd get to go see my Blazers once in a great while, the only time I *ever* went to a Sonics game was to root for Portland, and the BIG reason c. The NHL *wants* to come here. That's my sport, If they were building an arena the NHL would just about certainly expand. I really don't like the NBA.
