You'd know of course.
An amusing side effect of the so-called super-team is the way every meager scrap of off-hand nothing is swaddled in over-caffeinated analysis. Throw in a media drooling to see their Riley-as-executioner story reinforced and a superstar who’s preened under the microscope for too long and you get posts about every stray raised eyebrow, mush-mouthed post-game comment, and, yes, light grazing of shoulders. The body language says everything! They’re not smiling enough! What can the towel boy tell us? There are layers of meaning in this passage of gas!
You'd know of course.
Bring in Riley![]()
I agree,
After every loss, coach Spo should be taking the guys to Chuck E Cheese for Pizza & Lemonade. It's a good way to chill and practice free-throws for Lebron. I remember when my mom and dad wouldn't give me everything I wanted so I would shoulder bump my mom inside the store and make a scene in front of everybody. A trip to Chuck E Cheese and a handful of tokens made everything ok again.

Tracy McGrady says Wade’s, LeBron’s games “really don’t mix”
Kurt Helin
Tracy McGrady is clairvoyant. Ms. Cleo incarnate. He says he saw this coming.
While the world is talking about the 9-8 Heat, the slow start and the frankly ugly offensive basketball they have settled into, McGrady told the Detroit Free Press this is what he expected.
“It’s what I expected,” McGrady said of the Heat’s struggles Sunday after the Pistons suffered a double-overtime loss to the Knicks. “You’ve got two guys (James and Wade) that really don’t mix. I mean, they’re the same type of player. They just don’t complement each other.”
“Not at all,” he said. “It’s tough to get that chemistry. You can’t just go somewhere and create that type of chemistry. (James) had that in Cleveland. He had everything going for him. Great energy in the building. He created a great atmosphere. I enjoyed going to Cleveland because the atmosphere was just unbelievable.
“The chemistry he had with his teammates was unbelievable,” McGrady continued. “You can’t just go somewhere and create that. You can see it on his face. He’s not having fun. I’m so used to him doing all his antics on the basketball court, and he’s not doing that. You can see that something is just not right.”
Both guys have had the ball in their hands and did often in years past, but the thing is LeBron can work well off the ball. They did run some of those sets in Cleveland to great effect. Besides the steady diet of pick-and-roll we imagined an offense with some more flex-like sets, maybe even some pure isolation (so the help defenders have farther to go). Or, you know, they could just run more.
McGrady says he saw this coming, and so far he has the scoreboard. But what is frustrating is we all saw in our minds much more, an offense that wasn’t so predictable and execution worthy of this Big 3. Right now that remains a figment of our imagination.
I see one HarlemHeat is still MIA....that can never show his face round these parts again....ohhh wait he's going by Miamiheat now...lol
Lebron wants to River Dance, Blow Bubble Gum, and take a picture with his hands....this just can't get no better...I tell ya can't get no betta....lmfao eternally

Lebron shooting (near) career lows in FG% and 3P% and having a career high turnover rate. To his credit, he does rank 10th in the league in overall PER because he gets to the line so often.
Wade shooting career lows in FG% (near career low in 3P%) and having a career low in assists.
Is all of that Spo's fault? Are those a function of Spo's supposed ineffective offensive schemes?
At this moment in time, Bosh should be the 2nd option on this team, and yet he's not. Not only is he shooting 50% from the field, but he's been damn consistent at it. He doesn't go 10-11 one day and 1-13 the next.
I want to see Harlem Heat creep back onto the board...the will be hilarious...he's gonna try and be sneaky wit it too....lmfao
feelin lonely son?![]()
HarlemHeat so depressed he's gonna turn back to wrestling![]()

Kurt Helin
...“We’re both kind of similar players,” Wade said of LeBron after practice last week. “On the court, we’re thinking too much. When we have the ball, we’re thinking about the other guy — we’re thinking about the other guys.”
And then he said something that no coach wants to hear from one of the most potent scorers in the league: “You don’t want to take two shots in a row.”
... "I think, at times, we get into a space where we let the whole team guard us because we run a lot of pick-and-roll. And we are letting guys off the hook. I want to see someone guard LeBron [James] one-on-one three or four times in a row down the court, because I know what they are thinking: “Somebody please help.”
"I want to see them do that to Chris. I want to see them do that to me. So it’s about how we do it in spots in games, if all of us can be involved together. And it’s about how you do it where we are getting other guys involved as well."
...“Players and coaches, it’s always that kind of weird type of relationship. You don’t look at him and say, ‘That’s my guy right there,’ in the sense of me. Yeah, I came in when Spo was early in his coaching career. He wasn’t even on the bench when I first came in. He’s grown to know me; I’ve grown to know him.”
And now?
“He’s a different person and I’m a different player than when we came in,” Wade continued. “So, I’m not going to say he’s my guy, but he’s my coach, you know. We listen to him and try to execute a game plan and sometimes players and coaches get into disagreements. In general, that’s life with people. It’s the nature of sports…”
“Right now, in my opinion, no one is doing a good job, we’re 9-8,” Wade said. “We’re all in this together. Players not doing a good job; coaches not doing a good job. As a whole. When success comes, we win as a whole. We win four in a row, Coach is going to look great.”
He doesn't need to spend all day every day here like you. He has a real life unlike you. If I do hear from him I'll let him know you miss him dearly.
