Woj's pussy ass deleted his tweet, probably because he called it a "disgrace." Here's the link to the article.

Haters gonna hate. when you take 100+ shots at 49%, that's good enough, the more shots you take, the more your FG% is going to take a hit. As for the 3 pts, 38% is not great but at 70+ attempts, that's pretty good.

So what if it was made so that the team gives up empty lay ups at the other end? The point of basketball is to win games. The reason that they take so many 3s is to make up for the empty 2 that they had to give on the end of the floor. At the end of the day, you have to win games and this coach for a great way to score more points within the rules of the game.

Well, I'm only a couple paragraphs in, but it seems the point of the disdain from the writer is that their ultimate goal isn't based around winning games. It's based around garnering publicity by breaking records. I mean, passing up on wide open put backs to kick out to shooters isn't winning basketball.

Heard a clip of the coach being interviewed. Had a good point. Its DIII basketball for crying out loud. Let them have some fun playing that style.

Question: When does Kevin Love's contract expire? I know he signed a shortish extension with Minnesota...but one would have to think he would be on Riles' radar for when the Big 3's contracts expire.

**Jace** · 11-22-2012, 03:22 PM

His 15-16 season is a player option.

**Wade County** · 11-22-2012, 03:30 PM

Which he will likely decline to get the max i'd say.

Will we be a player in that FA period? When do the Big 3's contracts expire?

**Wade2Bosh** · 11-22-2012, 06:27 PM

They have the opt out after next season.

**Wade County** · 11-22-2012, 07:47 PM

And then that gives them another 2 years right? Doesn't that coincide with Love's deal expiring?

**Wade2Bosh** · 11-22-2012, 08:12 PM

Yes, but its doubtful that they dont opt out after next season and re-sign for more years. In fact, with how high the luxury tax will be if they dont, im sure the Heat will ask them to opt out so that they can spread the money out a little better so the luxury tax hit isnt as steep.

That's of course, if they do wanna stay.

Those are the syncopated sounds that probably keep opposing centers up at night. Bosh has been virtually automatic with his jumper this season. He's shooting a league-leading 67 percent from 16 to 23 feet, which is almost twice as efficient as the league average (38 percent), according to Hoopdata.com. If Bosh nestles inside the 3-point line by the right elbow for a shot, better start running the other way.

Ray Allen left corner 3 and Bosh from the right elbow. Two of the most efficient shots in the league.

Lebron Bosh and Love Trio....drool.

**Ben** · 11-23-2012, 02:13 AM

^I was thinking about how good that sounded too, then I remembered, Bosh's D is nowhere near good enough to cover for Love's lack of it.

**Jace** · 11-23-2012, 03:08 AM

At least we'd give up way less second chance points, and gain a few with Love's rebounding. Uber-pipedream, though. And Wade is staying, so long as he wants to. I don't see him retiring in '14, so I guess the best hope is that he re-signs for way less, which isn't really realistic.

I think that is just pettiness.

Think about it, if you just gave away a wide open lay up, so you essentially gave the other team 2 points and the only way you win basketball game is by scoring more points than the other team, that means that to make up for the automatic 2 that you just gave, you HAVE to take a 3, other wise, you are just trading baskets and are putting pressure on winning games only based on turnovers.

By making 3s, you actually crush the other team's confidence because you still one up them despite them having scored.

If the other team doesn't have strong 3 point shooting, they are almost sure to lose unless they rebound the ball extremely well and break the press constantly.

This is not the type of ball that I personally like, but it is smart.
