Wade has made like three horrible passes in this game, what gives?

Wade? Nah, Haslem went the wrong way about three times in this game, as usual. I love Haslem, but year after year...he always screws plays up with miscommunication. He takes his own judgement too much. I'd just like to say:

:sidelol: :sidelol: :sidelol: @ the MVP chants for CHAUNCEY BILLUPS.

Many people think he should be the MVP, what the hell gives? Billups is barely All-Star caliber.

Great effort tonight, it's a shame we couldn't pull it out. Couple crucial mistakes and breaks we didn't get cost us big. At least we know we can compete with the best.

Ughh still makes me mad because I know we could have easily won this game.

Well, we played the best team in basketball close for 4 quarters, on the road. And we're only going to improve. I'm not discouraged by this loss at all, in fact, I think more of our team after tonight than I did yesterday.

I agree. All I wanted out of this game is to prove that we can compete with the best, on the road. Mind you Shaq and Jason Williams both aren't 100% yet, and Dwyane Wade got mugged of three horrible foul calls in the fourth quarter. This is one of those games where it seems as if the BETTER team LOSS, but I went into the game thinking Detroit was better. :confused:

I'm happy with how we played. I think we can take this team in the Playoffs. This is like the fourth or fifth game this team is playing together as a unit, whereas Detroit's core has been together for years now. Remember that.

You've gotta be kidding. He constantly hits big shots in crunch time. To say he's barely an all star doesn't make any sense :shakeno:

That's 100% how I feel as well.

This team's core has not played together for more than 5 games yet. Detroit's core has been together for a couple of years. Huge difference in chemistry and all of that.

I guess I'll take your word for it. It came down to two possesions like I thought. And Walker didn't do much of anything. The officiating and Walker's inability to be a solid 6th man(hopefully that will change) led to tonight's loss IMO.

Woah what a game by Wade... too bad we couldnt finish like usual against Detroit. Something about Detroit man... And Shaq he just pisses me off, when there was like a minute left in the game he let the pass bounce off his leg or hand and it was a turnover and he had his confused face on. Man I hate when Wade has a game like this and we lose.

Walker just seems like he doesn't have control of his body, some of his shot attempts just look brutal. I only remember him hitting one shot and it was a banked 25 footer

How the hell doesn't that make sense?

Dwyane Wade
Allen Iverson
Gilbert Arenas......all clearly better players.

Then, you've got Vince Carter, Michael Redd, Rip Hamilton <---Billups is in THAT class.

Sorry, but unless you're in class #1, then you're not a "clear-cut" All-Star caliber guard. Remember, the All-Stars are formed by GUARDS, not POINT GUARD/SHOOTING GUARD.

That was clearly a bad pass with no angel by Haslem IMO. I don't think Shaq even got a hand on it. BTW Shaq played a great game, but he was ineffective down the stretch because the tempo of the game increased (a lot more towards Detriots favor)

Antoine Walker is this team's biggest liability. He does a lot of good things, but very inconsistently. We will never again be outcoached like we were last year in the Finals, but if it comes down to elimination...I guarantee you it'll be Walker who doesn't show up in the deciding game.

I never said he was in the league of Wade, Iverson in terms of MVP. But I don't agree with your logic of saying he's not even an all-star.

Then go re-read my post, because I never said he wasn't an All-Star. I said he's barely an All-Star, which is 100% true. Look at the Eastern Conference's guards. All-Stars are formed by guards, not PG/SG as I said. So, basically, you can have all SG's make it and no PG's.

He's not in the elite-3 of guards in the East, therefore he's a borderline All-Star because he can easily be bumped off.

Does anyone else see this since Walker has came to the heat... He has something about him that like when hes gonna shoot hes GONNA shoot no matter what and you can sorda tell when he decided hes gonna shoot. And its like funny you can like point it out here it goes. And then when hes going to shoot a lay up he like shoots it real fast.
