Don't look now, but Smithi has fallen off the deep end.

I blame the Heat's "defense."

**Wade County** · 12-04-2012, 09:02 PM

Needz moar whip cracking from Smithi.

And less Rashard Lewis....much less....

I'm actually still mistified as to what has happened to Udonis Haslem. It's beyond a joke.

Maybe we should go see what mummified Antonio McDyess has left

**Jace** · 12-04-2012, 09:05 PM

UD came out drilling jumpers in all kinds of ways during the scrimmage. As soon as he came back from his hammy, he was back to Useless S. Grantlem. What the **** did I do there?

If the opponent tonight had "76ers" or any other name but "Wizards" on the front of their jerseys, I'd have gone nuclear.

I'm a total Wizards and Wittman fan boy. Been a tough season.

**Wade County** · 12-04-2012, 10:03 PM

Wizards and Nuggets have too many bigs. Surely one of them have to shake loose, no?

Team needs to make a trade. Our record is very fortunate considering the way we've played, and the way we've won, and lost. We could easily be .500 right now.

Shit man. What does everyone expect?

How long has the NBA been around? 70 years? We have a coach who has decided 70 years of NBA evolution is overrated and is now trying to run super small lineups in a "positionless" offense. Who could have possibly seen this going wrong?

I expected it, but then we won a championship playing all small ball, all out of position, and I was scratching my head.

Anyhoo, I'm positive that isn't a recipe for long term success.

**Jace** · 12-05-2012, 04:03 PM

The starting "small" lineup isn't the issue. Haslem as the backup C and Lewis previously playing backup 4 are/were big issues, as well as Ray's defense.

@tomhaberstroh Rewatched Wizards-Heat this morning. Heat played with charity game level intensity on D. LeBron, Wade, Bosh included.

This is so true. Didn't particularly stand out for LeBron for me, but I wouldn't deny it, considering his effort was extremely sub-par throughout most of the game.

Wade is obvious, not getting back in transition, fouling instead of moving his feet, but even Bosh got the plague last night. I remember one play that really stood out where Seraphin spun baseline, setting up a wide open baseline J, instead of stepping over to contest Bosh just stood there and looked at him for a couple of seconds. No hand up. No step over. No ****s given. Just bad, scary stuff.

@CoupNBA The Heat's defensive efficiency by quarter against the Wizards: 135.4 --> 129.3 --> 92.1 --> 86.7

Pat Riley's going to start cutting himself soon.

But yeah, a 62 point difference in efficiency from when they didn't care to when they kinda cared shows it all.

**Wade County** · 12-05-2012, 05:03 PM

Embarassing effort last night really. Laziest triple double I think i've ever seen. Clearly zero ****s were given that day.

**Jace** · 12-05-2012, 06:19 PM

Another road loss, another club appearance the night before, though this one appears to be different.

First of all, obviously they weren't exerting themselves

But LeBatard's producer Mike Ryan pointed out that it seems like a schedules, paid appearance. I mean, you have Ray there, who has said he never joins teammates at clubs. And supposedly every time the Heat go to Washington, LeBron makes a scheduled club appearance, leading Ryan to believe he has a connect there who requests it of him every time.

Definitely don't blame the loss/lack of effort on this, but it doesn't look good at all.

Smithian · 12-05-2012, 10:15 PM

Now that shit pisses me off and makes me not like the NBA.

Focus on the ****ing game like you're paid to you pieces of shit.

**Wade2Bosh** · 12-05-2012, 10:17 PM

Yeah, every team does the same thing. What pissed me off about the last time before the Atl game was that Wade was sick and still went out.

**Jace** · 12-06-2012, 02:08 AM

Tuesday night clubbing in Washington looks about as exciting as a dentist appointment.

I know right. Everytime I see club photos I wanna beat these morons with a spiked bat.

Party from July to October. Or at least save it for the first night of 3 or 4 games off.

Most people don't have the luxury of getting 4+ months off of work. These guys do and get paid millions of dollars.

Spoiled little bitches.

I swear this team is just going to coast through 3/4 of the regular season. Be prepared to beat your head against the wall often for their lack of effort on a regular basis.
