Heat @ Sixers Game thread

[DeadlyDynasty]

4-0 to start, Wade looking a lot better. Defense is top-notch as well

[DeadlyDynasty]

Iguodala w/ a sick fast break jam

[DeadlyDynasty]

Sixers gotta be the youngest team in the league

[Texas_Ranger]

76ers are shooting just 3 of 13.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Miami still looks pretty chaotic on offense, but they are lockdown on D. Joel Anthony is a foul machine

[DeadlyDynasty]

Wade with 2 PF's...both stupid fouls

[DeadlyDynasty]

lol crab-dribble...nice try LBJ

[DeadlyDynasty]

Bosh looking real good so far

[Killakobe81]

Mehh I am peeking but I expect a heat blowout ...
All that matters is that wade get comfortable ...but man is Lebron hated. sixers fans booing him worse than they do Kobe. My guess besides groupies Lebron will be most hated vistor in most NBA cities. Yes i think he did Clevelend shitty with broadcasting THE decision but this is crazy ...

[DeadlyDynasty]

Thaddeus Young keeping PHI in it

[DeadlyDynasty]

Miami supporting cast still can't hit an open 3

[DeadlyDynasty]

LBJ with 4 turnovers already

[Killakobe81]

Lebron with the effective post-up game! But man he is AMAZING in the open court. Fast great handles and sooo strong.

[DeadlyDynasty]

make that 5

[Killakobe81]

Cavs hanging with Celts ...2nd nights of back2backs will be tough on Celts (Lakers too)

[Texas_Ranger]

James 5 TO already. Nice

[DeadlyDynasty]

Lebron with the effective post-up game! But man he is AMAZING in the open court. Fast great handles and sooo strong.

he looks good but I swear he's wearing a Cavs jersey right now...the offense is identical

[DeadlyDynasty]

holy shit iggy just stole that board and stuffed it

[hitmanyr2k]

I don't agree with the commentators saying Lebron is as big as Karl Malone. He looks like hes lost weight to me. Definitely doesn't look 270 pounds.

[Killakobe81]

Is that Eric Snow on the broadcast? I hate that guy but he sounds better here than on NBA TV ... he sucks as a studio guy. Always smirking and shrugging shoulders ...

[Killakobe81]

I don't agree with the commentators saying Lebron is as big as Karl Malone. He looks like hes lost weight to me. Definitely doesn't look 270 pounds.

I agree last couple years maybe he was close but he looks more streamline in his muscle definition right now.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Miami's offense still looks stagnant...talent will get them over on scrubs like PHI, but they really need to gain an identity

[DeadlyDynasty]

The Commentators I have are Eric Reid and Fiorentino

[DeadlyDynasty]

christ they are booing the shit outta LBJ

[hitmanyr2k]

Lebron doesn't look good at all bringing the ball up as a point forward. I think he's best when someone outlets the ball to him and when he's already running and has momentum. If a good defender ball hawks him they can probably rip him.

[ALVAREZ6]

Sixers halfcourt offense to start was almost as bad as Miami's last night...

[Killakobe81]

Sixers are dumb to crowd Lebron. He is breaking them down like a PG and dishing inside ...make him beat you outside ...he is too damn good for that.

[DeadlyDynasty]

both offenses are anemic right now tbh

[Killakobe81]

Crowding Lebron is foolish IMO

[DeadlyDynasty]

sixers with 5 offensive rebounds already

[DeadlyDynasty]

great reverse by young

[Texas_Ranger]

Young is great.

[DeadlyDynasty]

nice move by wade, abused williams

[MiamiHeat]

I'm starting to lose faith in Eric Spoelstra.

I knew he would be great for defense.

but it MIGHT be becoming apparent that he has no fucking clue on offense and how to coach a star studded team like this.

Spoelstra might be on the way out. Riley needs to coach this motherfucker.

[Killakobe81]

LOL Holiday guarding Wade in post ...

[Killakobe81]

My bad was that williams? Watchjing on laptop LOL

[DeadlyDynasty]

Spoelstra might be on the way out. Riley needs to coach this motherfucker.

it's pretty fucking bad...no continuity, looks very discombobulated tbh...Spo might be in over his head

[DeadlyDynasty]

james jones heating up

[Killakobe81]

Sixers are the an even worse 3 point shooting team than we (lakers) are ...

[MiamiHeat]

I feel bad too, because I like Spoelstra....

but Riley needs to come back down and coach this shit. Fuck it.

If we're gonna go for something historic, might as well do it the right way and go all the way.

I'm going to give Spoelstra about 1 month before I start calling for his head on a platter.

[hitmanyr2k]

Nice to see the refs not going for Wade's flailing verbal flopping bullshit. Hopefully the refs stop calling that kind of crap this year. They didn't fall for Wade's antics last night either. Gives me hope they're cleaning that up.

[Texas_Ranger]

James Jones's on fire.

[DeadlyDynasty]

james jones 4 3-ptrs this quarter

[DeadlyDynasty]

Miami has responded well since giving up the lead, they actually had good ball movement on the last 2-3 possessions as well.

[MiamiHeat]

these role players are going to get open shots

last night VS Boston they had WIDE open shots

but nobody could fucking buy a basket.

now they are falling though.....

we need mike miller back.

[Killakobe81]

Jones burying the Sixers!!
His plus/minus, PER and true shooting percentage is > than Lebron tonight so ...
Logic dictates James jones is better than Lebron LOL!!!

[DeadlyDynasty]

tbh the Heat would look nasty in the triangle offense...think it's perfect for them

[Killakobe81]

his win share will be better too ...LOL

[DeadlyDynasty]

iguodala 8 points, all on dunks lol

[MiamiHeat]

why the fuck is Arroyo still in this game

put Mario Chalmers in, he can actually play good fucking defense.

[Texas_Ranger]

Yea!

[DeadlyDynasty]

elton brand is terrible

[DeadlyDynasty]

Sixers hanging around, down 6

[MiamiHeat]

When Wade was leading the team and LBJ was on the bench, the Heat went up by 10 ;/

LBJ back in, more turnovers, now the sixers are on a run

Spoelstra needs to coach this offense and integrate LeBron better or he is going to get fired pretty soon.

[DeadlyDynasty]

When LeBron's in, it's Cav-ball

[DeadlyDynasty]

wade having a great game

[ogait]

Why isn't Chalmers getting any playing time? Is he injured?

[DeadlyDynasty]

LBJ is out of control

[MiamiHeat]

When LeBron's in, it's Cav-ball

Wade is a much better team leader on the court than LBJ is to be honest.

i have been watching my HEAT play all these years, and I dont like the way LBJ passes the ball, some of the decisions are out there imo. also, some of the passes he makes should not be thrown as HARD as he throws them

but I think this can be fixed with the right coaching. leBron has amazing court vision but he needs to be coached to use it more effectively.

[DeadlyDynasty]

49-41 Heat at the half. Arroyo is garbage

[MiamiHeat]

Why isn't Chalmers getting any playing time? Is he injured?

i have no idea

Chalmers can actually play good defense and get some steals and interrupt passing lanes.

arroyo is garbage on d and i dont like the way he is handling the ball on Offense either.

[DeadlyDynasty]

agreed, but does Spo have the sack to get in his face?

[HarlemHeat37]

Didn't watch the first half, looks like the roles reversed with Bosh/Wade and Lebron, just looking at the box score..

Arroyo will be out of the rotation soon, they should trade him, somebody will trade for him, he's a decent player when he can create for himself off the bench..

I like Anthony, but they seem to play better with Ilgauskas on the floor..hopefully Dampier is acquired..

[MiamiHeat]

I dont even think Spo has the BBALL IQ to run an offense like this one.

this requires the man that ran the showtime lakers and made that 06 Heat team actually work.

would have been more rings if Shaq wasnt a fat lazy fucker who hated that Pat got in his face when he came to camp overweight again.

with this team, Pat is the right man for the job. LeBron will LOVE Riley's motivational tactics and INTENSITY and work ethic. Shaq hated it though, so did GP

[DeadlyDynasty]

hate to admit it but yeah, Riles WOULD make this team insane

[TheMACHINE]

Wade shoulda just ran with Bosh

LBJ shoulda just ran with Rose and Boozer.

Probably woulda worked out better. Too early to tell though.

[hitmanyr2k]

That's why I scoff at people that call Phil Jackson overrated just because he's coached great players throughout his career. More often than not you need someone who knows how to direct supreme talent and command respect. Phil reigned all of that talent in and put them in the best position to succeed.

[DeadlyDynasty]

good god arroyo sucks

[DeadlyDynasty]

bosh just got regulated by brand

[DeadlyDynasty]

arroyo fouling a 3-pt shooter...wtf is he still doing out there

[DeadlyDynasty]

Wade is toying with them

[DeadlyDynasty]

and the rout is on...

[DeadlyDynasty]

damn, Wade-LBJ just missed on a nasty alley-oop

[MiamiHeat]

WTF LEBRON

missing an open dunk set up by wade??

[MiamiHeat]

Wade shoulda just ran with Bosh

LBJ shoulda just ran with Rose and Boozer.

Probably woulda worked out better. Too early to tell though.

well, for Wade fans, it would definitely have been better for Wade to just run with Bosh and use the LBJ money to sign a few expensive role players


but for me, no. this is a historic team. LBJ is too fucking good to just write them off.

this is game #2 with an Iffy So-So Coach. Spoelstra's forte is defense, not offense.

this team can be special, but Spo better figure it out fucking soon or he will be replaced by Riles.

[DeadlyDynasty]

fiorentino is unbearable...I grew up listening to eric reid so he doesn't bother, but the other guy is useless

[DeadlyDynasty]

nice move by the rook

[DeadlyDynasty]

and this one's in the refrigerator, Heat winning by 26 at end of 3rd...Good game, they improved markedly from last night. Time to watch the thunder

[Giuseppe]

Just in time, Heaty was about to keep crying.

[kamikazi_player]

lol at the idiots that said Wade was second fiddle to Lebron. Once Wade gets into a rhythm, he can score at will. Granted it's against the 76ers, but he looked much better than last night and got his strength back.

[DeadlyDynasty]

LeBron with 9 turnovers tonight, 8 last night

[21_Blessings]

Wow, great job. Miami can beat one of the worst teams in the league. Where have we seen that before?

[HarlemHeat37]

There's no "second fiddle" on this team, it's not difficult to understand..they will play the matchups and feel out which players are playing the best in certain games..

[Chris Fall]

LeBallhog with 9 turnovers:king
