'13 All things Heat thread

[Wade2Bosh]

Off season is over. So its time to start this thread, just like we did last season. This thread is for smaller Heat and even non-Heat info that doesnt really need to be in a new thread.

A 2nd "Do not let go of the rope" shown on this "Into the fire" documentary

Bosh, Wade and Lebron each scoring 30 points and each collecting 10 rebounds against the Rockets. Another thing I had forgotten.

Tim Reynolds tweeted this while watching this Heat documentary and now I see why. James Jones hit a lot of big 3's for this team last season.

Just finished "Into the fire". It was very well done by the Heat. Would have liked more behind the scenes footage though.

Also, I had to fast forward through most of the ending for obvious reasons

Big 3's as i n clutch 3's? I dont really remember. I also kinda forgot he played tonight until looking at the boxscore.

I know its one game, so I'm probably crazy, but I wouldn't be opposed to waiving he and House (know it'll never happen) for Harris and Byars. We all liked Byars back in the draft, and he appears to be the real deal both in this game and the scrimmage. And as much as this wreaks of a fan being enthralled by shiny new things, I was really hoping the younguns wouldn't play tonight, as I figured they'd all be long for the roster. In other words, I was hoping none would impress me, if that makes sense.

And yeah, I was just thinking about that 30-30-30 game the other day, for some reason it popped into my head. Totally forgot they all had dbl-digit boards too. Sweetness.

The Heat have waived Billy White and Jeremy Wise, reducing the camp roster to 17, with a cut needed to 15 by Sunday's opener.

Does this mean the beers will be cheaper at the games? Probably not

Given this agreement with Tsingtao and the NBA's commitment to further growing the China market, I'm guessing a Heat trip there before long.

[UD40]

Bron looks to be pleased with this deal...

[sMaK]

Shane Battier looks out of place LOL

I'm guessing he's up there because of his shoe deal with Peak?

[Wade2Bosh]

Shane played with Yao. He's real popular over there.

Wade was interviewed last night during halftime of the Monday night football game..
