Miami Heat 8-6 thoughts

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

I have never been a fan of the Heat so for em I am happy that they are struggling as badly as they are especially since they went and spent so much money on two players.

Its their first year together it will take some time.

They just want to chill. Even Riley can help this collection of talent that does not fit as a team.

OVERRATED!!!!!!

The Heat doesn't need time they need to get an attitude to put out high effort every game. LeBron said after last night he is not having fun. The Heat management is getting on fans who show up late and then spend most of their time in the bars and restaurants in the arena. They are offering happy hour deals on food to attempt to get fans to the game at the start.

If Riley is the answer why not show up at practice to attempt to motivate this team. This is like the Vikings waiting on Farve and the only way to win is with Farve. Wade did not like Riley before and LeBron has never had to play for a demanding coach without some control before. Wade wrist is hurting some now. This team has to show up every game and play well. Because all the teams want to beat this team. This team needs group therapy more than a new coach.

We all know Lebrons image is tarnished, and we all know that he wishes he would have stayed in Cleveland where he was loved, you can see it in the mans face everytime he walks on the court. But the damage is done he just needs to put Miami on his shoulders just like he did in Cleveland and pull all the players together and that team will win alot of games.

James leaving Cleveland was great and now that his new team stinks I am really happy.

I hate the NBA and could care less. I quit watching once Bird and Magic retired. The NBA was great to watch when the Doctor, Bird, and Magic were in their prime. Since then, it has been a joke, and yes that joke includes the "fabulous Michael".

8-7 now!!!

Haven't watched an NBA game from beginning to end since Shaq and Kobe were in LA, maybe since MJ played for the bulls.

MY THOUGHTS, LOVIN IT.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

AND I DON'T EVEN WATCH IT.

When the players start to take responsibility for their actions then they will do better. One of the sportswriter from Miami is talking about how Wade doesn't seem to be healthy. Miami has almost all their wins against teams that are under 500. Coach Spo is going to be the coach and the players are going to have to get use to that.

The Heat needs to have only two of their big three in the game at the sametime

[dazed&confused]

I think if they continue to struggle, the NBA will (behind the scenes) figure a way to get some also-ran team to give them a big man for nothing like the Grizzlies did when they sent Gasol to the Lakers for a cup of coffee. 8)

It all comes down to in that Lebron wanted a ring and he thought that Miami was the best chance to get that, but like was said above, with no true point guard and no real strong inside players, that will be hard to do. Add in the fact that D-Wade is already hurting, it could be a long year in Miami.

Thinking about, did Lebron really need a ring? He would still be heralded as one of the best to ever play the game and who knows, he might have finally gotten one in Cleveland. Look at Dr.J. He only won one ring in Philly and people still talk about him as being one of the best.

Bottomline is that Lebron probably wishes he would have stayed where he is at. That game tomorrow night for him in Cleveland will probably be bad for him as he will be booed everytime he touches the ball. With how crazy the people are in Cleveland and the way they are still mad at him, Lebron better watch his back. It could be ugly

How about them Heat ?

I don't care if they win 75 regular season games but no rings for the punks in heatville
