Great shot Bosh. Please retire. You have NBA talent but a crocheting mind. Go make viral videos, at least you're kind of funny.

He fragmented the rotation. We went 10 men deep tonight. Game was tied, bring in Turiaf cold off the bench who immediately commits two dumb fouls. Bring in James Jones who immediately makes a dumb choice to try and draw a charge on Avery Bradley giving him free throws. Bring in Shane in the third and he can't hit a shot.

The rotation is so wacky and loose and people aren't contributing to justify their minutes.

I look so forward to Heat games still, and they do this to me so often these days. Even the wins are often painful. I don't know how I can take another 15 of these.

Wow Cole. Terrel Harris should be playing point at this point.

1-12 shooting for Cole and Mario

2-13 shooting for Bosh and Joel

The Battier situation is analogous to the Shandon Anderson situation back when we won the title. Shandon, great defender, and a vet that the coach had to find minutes for during the season, but when the playoffs came we had to cut him from the rotation because he just isn't good enough. Battier deserves the same treatment.

Guys, root for Orlando the rest of the season. I wouldn't be scared at all to face Boston in the second round but I will take so much joy watching them get smashed by Chicago.

**Wade2Bosh** · 04-01-2012, 02:42 PM

Because of our PG play early on this season, the non-PG lineup was not used.

We're getting close to playoff time and the PG play has been awful. Time to get that lineup some minutes.

**Jace** · 04-01-2012, 02:43 PM

Yeah, Spo's biggest failure as coach has probably been his rotations. I'm not one to want to lynch Spo, and still think he proved within his first two years he's a great coach, but I'm beginning to think this teams needs someone new there. I don't think this team fits him. Every lauds Thibodeau for how he gets the Bulls to play, but he wouldn't be able to get this team to play that way. These guys will only respond to a coach with an established pedigree. I wish we could steal Popovich. Sloan or Jackson would probably be the only other coaches that fit the bill.

Cole finally hits. Thanks.

**Wade2Bosh** · 04-01-2012, 02:49 PM

Bass with 16 and 10 on 3-5 shooting. Talk about efficient.

He's always killed the Heat.

**Jace** · 04-01-2012, 02:50 PM

Definitely need the no-PG lineup more than ever right now. These guys give us nothing too often these days.

I actually liked Shandon better than Battier, though that's probably a product of low expectations.

Why is the board not letting me change my avatar? Is this AI? Does it love the booty?

**Jace** · 04-01-2012, 02:55 PM

What's happened to this team's defense? That's my main concern. These last 3 losses have shown us some of the worst rotation D I've seen in all the NBA.

Here's the deciding factor on how bad a signing Shattier may've been (ashamed I'm talking about his this way after one of his best games): was there a player we passed up on for MLE money who may've been better?

I've hated Spo from the beginning. The guy started Yakhouba Diawara. I don't forget.

**Jace** · 04-01-2012, 02:58 PM

LOL Juwan Howard. Makes me that much more pissed off that he's on this team when I watch a game like this. Pat needs to stop doing cute shit like that.

doctordrizzay · 04-01-2012, 03:07 PM

probably the worst loss of the season...Wade and LEbron literally have no help

**Jace** · 04-01-2012, 03:24 PM

R-Star while reading this thread:

**Wade2Bosh** · 04-01-2012, 03:29 PM

So 3-7 on the road since the all star break, with losses to Utah, Lakers, Orlando, Chicago, OKC, Indy and now Boston. 4 of those 7 coming on national TV, and all 4 being on ESPN/ABC with Jon Barry in studio which makes it even worse.

But the bright side is we've won 15 straight at home and play 10 of the next 13 in Miami.
