***The MIAMI HEAT 2006 NBA CHAMPIONS thread.***

[Alex44]

Tonight game 2, Heat needs to stay focus and play smart. Even the series up!!!

Even with game 1 I still say Heat in 6

I wish the guys would follow Wades lead and put half the effort he does......

The only guys that always seem to give 100%

Wade, Haslem, Posey

Shaq cant be put on there because he is always in foul trouble and Im sure he is trying to go 100% but he just cant dominate consistantly.

We will win games 2 and 3

Nets get game 4.

We get 5 and 6

Yeah, ya know when POSEY gets going he get's the momentum going.
Zo, needs to get the defense going tonight.
Yes, you are right, they need to follow Wade's lead.

I meant to put Zo in the 100% category to

Or maybe Wade needs to step up and say something, if he hasnt already, you would think a group of veteran guys with no rings 'aside from Shaq' would try and take an opportunity like this

I know Gary Payton doesnt want to end his career with no rings, same for Walker....and im sure Zo to

I say you put the guys with the most effort in if we lose game 2

Game 3 starters if we lose

Payton, Wade, Posey, Haslem, Zo

At least you will get a good effort

Yep, I feel bad for Gary, he was suppose to win it when he went to the Lakers. I think one of those guys is going to have a sppech before the game to get them going.
They need to play like they did the last game vs. the BULLS!

Richard Jefferson seems to be a go. He's out there in his warm-up's, warming up with the rest of the team. Hmmm, decoy? I'd test his ankle and force him to attack. On the offensive end, attack him and force that ankle to be on the move, twisting and turning. Double up on Vince. RJ will not be 100% for the rest of this series, and if he does indeed play tonight, he may not be 80%.

Win or stay home!

 

[Alex44]

Win or stay home!

They cant defend wade, at all, he got to the basket at will against them, Im thinking we should run the offense through Wade at the Point....

Pg- Wade/J-Will
SG- Posey/Wade
SF- Shandon Anderson/Posey
PF - Haslem
C- Shaq/Zo


Id also like to see Zo and Shaq in the game at the same time at some point, whenever we do that we seem to dominate

 

[Section126]

Hey Alex...you left out Toine...

He can be very effective at the 4...ESPECIALLY against the Nets..

He is useless at the 3 against them.

 

[Fresh]

Walker is starting at the three tonight??

Man, we've gotta get Posey back there with that defensive intensity. HARD FOULS!

If you're gonna foul 'em, especially Jefferson, HARD FOULS! (of course, nothing over the top)

Smart fouls. :wink:

 

[Fresh]

Yes.......:D

Hey, if teams are gonna FLOP with Shaq, then I am all for HARD FOULS.

I don't like to play the game that way, but you can only COUNTER what the other team does. If Jarron Collins comes out flopping and Richard Jefferson attacks the basket and you're left no option but to foul him, make sure you SEND HIM TO THE DECK......just nothing flagorant. A smart, hard foul. Bruce Bowen style, baby.

I originally had Walker at the 3 then changed my mind and went back and put the other guys in the / things and forgot Walker.

I like him at the 4 spot far better than at the 3

 

[Alex44]

Looking back at it do you think there is any way we could have packaged Walker and someone else for Ron Artest......

I know they didnt want to trade him within the East but i really like Artest as a player

 

[ShuggieOtis]

Yes.......:D

Apparently, calls were made but there wasn't any mutual interest with Toine from Indiana. Pat Riley is a huge fan of Ron Artest - he's been one since that hard foul in Caron's rookie season where he sent him into the stands. He & Riles actually exchanged some words, but they cleared it up in the postgame interviews.
