Game 41: Miami HEAT (28-12) @ Boston Celtics (20-23) - 1/27/13 - 1:00 PM ET

hopefully the hawks can beat the knicks later, that would be nice

I don't see many intangibles by cole. I see decent defense, awful shot selection and turnovers. all im saying is by replacing cole with a proven vet like dooling, this team improves imo.

as for chalmers playing like ****, today he did and he has plenty of bad games, but he has proven he can show up and play big in the playoffs.

in the meantime, i just hope cole can improve.

Well but we are not doing that. Somehow all the HEAT staff and Riley see the potential in Cole, same intangibles and defense that I see and other posters here. He will NEVER be the reason why we lost a game, but I'm sure he will help us to win games and that's what he does with his defense and energy.

the knicks are a bad team.

the knicks are a bad team.

Try telling that to knicks fans lol

[JNoel]

I'm just wondering how Pierce got only his 7th triple double in his career considering how awful he's played lately.

^miami was moe focussed on playing ball with POTUS than playing in boston

[dimgim]

Didnt Chalmers call himself a top ten PG. Good game they made winning plays Miami didnt oh well move on to the next. It would be nice for Miami to get another PG when Varnado 10 day is up, alot of folks here said Riley wouldnt sign the Bird because of his background and he did maybe Delonte West but I bet within a week or two Dooling is back in beantown

dude is terrible. sorry. i hope we trade cole and chalmers for a better version of chalmers-type player lol

[Im_in_Mia_bish]

Following their win tonight, the Knicks are now just 1.5 games back. I really hope someone makes the HEAT pay for nonchalantly coasting through the regular season.

Frankly, with their piss poor execution and general dont-give-a-**** mentality, they don't deserve HCA throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs. And yet the rest of the East sucks so much that the HEAT will probably get away with it.

Sigh.

Todays game was interesting. A game we should have won. It was one of those games where i felt we lost the game a lot more than boston winning it. 20 turnovers, and awful shot selection. That happens a few times during the reg season.

Meanwhile, it took a career night from melo and some epic choking from the hawks for the knicks to win. I think we take the 1 seed and 2,3,4 will be some combination of bulls, nets, knicks.

I am extremely confident there is no team in the east that can beat miami in a 7 game series, with chicago giving miami the biggest test.

Why was Battier on the game late yesterday? Why was Wade on the game late yesterday? The answer is bad coaching. Those 2 guys gave us absolutely nothing late against the Celtics. Why not give sombody else a chance? Where was the Birdman? Wade was pretty bad against the Celtics. They should have given somebody else a chance.

[Slug3]

Yes lets take Wade off the court at the end. Also Lebron missed a layup in OT, we should remove him as well.

this troll only posts after a loss.
