The Official Miami Heat Return to the Playoffs Thread.

dude you must love o'neal.

not sure if you're joking, or you didn't watch the game, but he looked like ****. ok he went 6/16, my bad (with three rebounds).

even wade said we were getting "punked out" on the boards.

during the broadcast, van gundy and mark jackson were comenting on o'neal's lack of lift from the maxiel blocks. they also wondered why JO left herman. called it a mistake.

btw, as far as my cloudy memory, whose guy did JO have to close out on? stuckey was completely blanketed by wade. haslem was under the basket. there was no reason for JO to leave herman. in fact, after haslem's jumper, JO was pulled for james jones.

wade won us the game. haslem maybe. not JO . . .

 

That is NOT what they said about J.O. leaving Hermann. Mark said that his defensive nature led him to follow the ball under the basket, which is what most PF's would do.

 

And as far as J.O. not doing his part. His presence alone makes teams game play away from the paint compare the team now to before the trade. Its not Moon alone thats made that difference.

 

Is Anthony even apart of the rotation anymore?

 

*chills* god lets hope he never gets his way then.

 

did i say this? i said magloire should close out games. my bad, JO won us the game.

 

he said that, and called it a mistake considering wade had stuckey covered and haslem was already under the basket.

 

you're right. JO won us the game by leaving hermann open for the go ahead three on a drive and dish. you're right JO won us the game by getting blocked twice by maxiel in the final minutes. JO and his 3 rebounds won us the game. JO going 6/16 against kwame brown won us the game.

JO makes one 18 foot jump shot, and a tip in, and you think he "won us the game?" you act like you've never seen four points before.

you're right. my bad, JO is a monster.

 

Jermaine O'Neal out tonight... honestly I don't think it'll matter. Well it shouldn't at least.

 

+2 on Philly now and I'm sure Portland is going to handle them tonight to deepen that by a half.

 

another thing you should realize is that JO is soft and has always been soft. he can block shots but thats more of an attribute to his height advantage. hes never been that aggressive on the defensive end. but considering his has always used his height to his advantage, you take what he gives you, which is decent rebounding and an 10-15ppg. ill take it.

 

With Portland pulling off these close wins @ LAL and @ POR over the last week or so... I am not confident at all in Miami keeping the 5th seed. Our "easiest" remaining games are mostly on the road.

Miami's next 5:

@ IND
@ CHI
MIL
ORL
@ DAL

8 of our last 13 games are against playoff teams.

 

Atlanta here we come.

 

Should have never went into OT to begin with.

Iggy is a flopping *****. Love the way he kicks his leg out when he shoots the three, too.

Brandon Roy was getting MUGGED.

 

Beasley is awesome. BTW - there's no way this kid doesn't smoke (a lot of) weed.

See how great it shaped up his personality?

Told you guys it was great stuff... legalize it, baby.

 

Just found out Im headed to the Miami Heat Family Festival this Saturday. Im bringing a basketball to get autographs

 

Anyone catch that piece on Dwyane Wade and the kid who lost all his limbs? It was on SportsCenter earlier.

 

When Dwyane Wade gets his next blocked shot, he'll be

THE FIRST PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY to achieve:

2000+ points, 500+ assists, 150+ steals, 100+ blocks during a single season.

 

Saw that on RealGM earlier today. Pretty amazing how Wade's game has improved all-around.

 

Tell me about it. I have been to the last two losses. I hoped this time maybe if I didnt go they would win.

I hope J.O. plays, he is a fan favorite here.

 

Statistically, are we one of the worse rebounding teams in the league?

If not, then numbers definitely lie... Jesus Christ it's pathetic watching this group "attack" the boards.

 

Yeah, I marked this one as a loss while looking at the remaining schedule.

Doesn't matter how good we are / how bad they are; we can't win in Indiana.

I'd love to pull one off up there, though. I hate that team with a passion.

 

I don't know what the **** Michael Beasley is going to have to do in this league to get a FOUL CALL. That's why the guy takes so many jumpers; he goes to the rack and gets pounded without a call. Then of course, he sees his teammate Dwyane Wade get breathed on, and, well you know the rest of the story....
