Game 10: Heat @ Nuggets (11/15 10:30PM) - Page 17 - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

What was the NBA thinking with this schedule? Aside from the lockout last year, when do teams ever play five games in six nights?

So, yeah, Wade can clunk up our play on both sides of the floor when he's not fully healthy, or when his game is off and he continues hi-jacking the O. That's clear. But if we can get him looking as sharp as he was in that game against the Pistons, we're obviously much better. I'm sure fans will start talking about bringing him off the bench a la Ginobili with Ray starting, but that's silly.

They bend over for the television networks.

4 in 5 and 6 in 9 days is crazy.

Ty Lawson was 0-7 with 0 points in 36 minutes. First time he's ever been held scoreless playing 20+ minutes. Yeesh.

Norris was absolutely awful on offense tonight, but he hit the biggest shot of the game and played great D on Ty Lawson all night long. Hopefully that shot serves as a confidence booster.

**Jace** · 11-15-2012, 10:38 PM

Is it OK that I'm no longer mad at Norris? The shot and the defense made up for his other transgressions.

Oh, im over it too

Spo was asked about Mike and if games like this make him want to give him more minutes. Spo said "big picture!" and that he'll have more games like this down the stretch, but that he does have to remind himself to think big picture when it comes to Mike.

**Jace** · 11-15-2012, 10:48 PM

I'm fine with that, but I was a bigger fan of him being the 2nd-half assassin for a 5-minute stretch.

Best thing this team can do right now is trade Wade. Sad but true. However I doubt that will even be considered.

**Jace** · 11-15-2012, 10:52 PM

Would never even cross their mind. Wade's here as long as he wants to be here, and fans need to accept that and stop being foolish. We all hate his effort and decision-making at times, but we have two less trophies if it's not for him.

I don't agree.

He's damaged goods,(mentally and physically) and we have enough fire power without him. I'd trade him for a starting C in a heart beat. And don't you guys go lying to yourself saying you wouldn't if the opportunity presented.

Wade and Haslem for Gortat and Dudley. Serve it up.

You're not cheating on your wife here. Tough decisions need to be made to keep the team strong as possible.

**Jace** · 11-16-2012, 01:11 AM

To Riley/Arison, it would be cheating on your wife. This is a team that probably believes Kenyon Martin could give them better minutes than Haslem, but won't bite on that, at least not until UD shows he's for certain done.

Wade could've gone to Chicago with Wade or Bosh (or maybe even both), but chose to align the stars here. This franchise is too loyal to ship the man most responsible for the team we have now anywhere, if you don't think that's the case you haven't been playing close enough attention. I think they'd even feel terrible trading Bosh, considering the 3 stars chose to come here to play together, as friends. The faster you let the dream go, the better off you'll be. The only way Dwyane is traded is if he makes the demand.

I'm sure Pat is even reluctant to trade end of roster guys like Jones, Miller, and Joel. If you haven't noticed, we haven't made a trade in the Big 3 era. I don't think that's all because of the "sacrifice" rhetoric surrounding the team, but it definitely has something to do with it.
