its better being 26-14 than 17-21 :lol
Ninja Scooter said:
That's true. Can't argue with that. But I'll take a 6 point loss to the best record team over a loss to an extremely undermanned team anyday.
Wade got way too cocky. He made a three earlier but...can't make em all. They didn't even get a timeout to draw a play but...did he NOT see the lane WIDE open for a two??
Ninja Scooter said:
That's 17-21in the pathetic EC! Shaq or no Shaq, that's inexcusable...
Let's compare the Lakers and Hornets main rotation from last night..
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore?gid=2007012003
Are the Lakers really favored to win against that team on the road w/o Lamar and Kwame with West and Jackson back?
Cloudy said:
Some games were without Wade!
And don't forget you're talking about a team that has Walker, Payton, and a bunch of little kids on the bench. Those players are such grandpas, you have to expect them to be absolutely WORTHLESS early on.
-They may be worthless later on anyways. Keep tuned.

He'll probably just score a 100 points to blow off his frustration. Guy knows how to work with a chip on his shoulder.
Cloudy said:
Even with them back I doubt the Lakers would be favored to win on the road much. We suck shit away from Staples and LIGHTS OUT.
Except in San Antonio am i rite

Cloudy said:
Yes, I consider the Lakers a west contender, and losing to team missing their best player/playmaker isn't good. Of course, I don't really give a shit about what happens in the regular season cause every team sucks ass once in a while against bad teams (Cavs beating the Spurs on the road)
but they don't need Lamar to beat lower ended teams, and you've seen that from them.

Another game where guys like Cerrius post, regardless of the outcome.
Good to see.

I don't even know what that means.
My point is that guys like Cerrius are usually the most vocal on the boards when the Heat win, i.e. Christmas Day but on days like today, he is completely silent.
I find it amusing.

A homer is someone who supports the home team while listening to no reason from outsiders. Everybody here would call me a total homer if I said "WADE GOTZ DA BEST 3 PT SHOT IN THE NBA MY MAN JUST WUZNT FEELIN IT THERE"
Actually, Bulls fans tend to be very homer-ist. Take for example
"Nobody can stop the Bulls. They're going to make all their shots if they have good ball movement, and if we miss, Ben Wallace will get us the offensive rebound and will score on a put back"

True, but if the Heat were to have won big, he would have found a way to post, regardless.

I know what a homer is.
I was just unclear as to what you meant by homer accusations.
ryutaro's mama said:
Cerrius was telling me the other day that Wade's midrange shot is falling a lot. I consider that homer on his part =P Then I took a look at his recent shot chart and it was X all over the place from 15-20 feet.
Today, I was actually satisfied by the way he shot. I hadn't seem him shoot this well from the outside for a long time, and he didn't even attack a lot...didn't go to the basket much, only drew 2 fouls or so.

oooooooooh that...
He put up NBA2K7 numbers in last night's game. He missed a 3 at the buzzer which would've sent the game into double OT.

uh...yea he still missed the 3 but they were only down 2

Only Jax would do that. Oh well, I applaud him for being a man and taking the shot.
I think Wade watched too much Jax tape before the game today.
Wade with another phantom injury in a big game that mysteriously disappears after a few minutes?
I don't even see players with real injures act like Wade. Even when Grant Hill breaks his ankle every year he doesn't grimace and limp around as much as Wade.
Oh well, that is enough hate for now. But this bothers me much more than the FTs. It isn't like other players complain when they get bullshit calls.

Next time you play some pickup ball and land on someone's ankle awkwardly, you're not allowed to grimace or want to stop playing for a second.
I don't even see what's the big deal with him "acting" when the injury's not serious, like actually tearing a ligament. There's got to be better reasons to hate? I hate Raja Bell more than most players because he is a Grade-A douchebag, he tries to act all tough and all he can show for it is a clothesline on a player and he can't do shit but shoot threes from Nash passes.
BTW, you don't get to see Grant Hill grimace a lot because in the past he was rarely on the court to begin with.
Truth on that, wood. Hate Wade, but the injury was legit. I'm just sick of the announcers making us aware of it everytime he touches the ball.
Either way, a win is a win. Now the Suns need to lose. I'm sick of them being #1 on the Hollinger Power Rankings on ESPN. I know they mean nothing, but it's still annoying when we've beat them twice already.

Hollinger puts the Suns at one because...he chooses to figure all this stupid math in there. It doesn't even make sense, he wants to have an NBA BCS type thing, but his formula is just the worst thing ever invented and needs to be taken off ESPN.com ASAP.
If anything, Mavs are #1 based on their record...but Suns beat opponents by a lot, so that figures into it. Never mind the fact that Dallas has beaten them twice and...

STFU.
I don't make it a priority to huddle around my computer and post on GAF after every Heat game. No way I waste a lovely Sunday afternoon in Miami shooting down Laker trolls in this thread.
Anyways.....
The Heat played outstanding today. An injured D-Wade, injured Pat Riley, and Shaq-less Heat took the supposedly "best team in the league" to the final seconds. The Mavericks have been blowing teams out all season, yet failed to do it against us.
Much props to our squad! Get well soon, Pat!
and pheeniks: You only support the Heat because of Wade, get the hell out of here bandwagoner!
pheeniks said:
The reason I get annoyed with Wade is that he does this so often it becomes ridiculous. And yes I have landed on other people's feet before and sometimes I roll my ankle, but it is impossible to predict how serious it is. Sometimes you can just bounce right back on your feet after a minute and other times it can be serious (tore my ACL once that way). I can't totally blame Wade because the douchebag announces act like he is playing a wheelchair, but how many games have we seen Wade get "injured", he limps around like he can barely move for about 5 minutes, and then suddenly he is faster than he was before the injury. I give most guys the benefit of the doubt on injuries, but it has happened so often that I feel I have to call him out on it.
And as much as Wade annoys me, you are obviously right that he is not in the class of a slimeball like Raja Bell. I have never seen Wade do anything dirty or cheap.
