Official Game Thread: Heat vs Magic

[Magicman28 295]

this game showed how badly we need another big. I hope Troy Murphy will be bought out and we sign him...

 

Hey! Another jump shooting big man! Why not?!

[Magicman28 295]

How were we shooting?

 

I haven't seen a team that has really denied us open shots from 3 yet, when they fall we win, when they don't it's a struggle.

 

And therein lies the problem.

Why can't we take more high percentage shots? We need more dunks and layups. Why couldn't Jameer play like he did late in the game sooner?

he averaged 10.2 rebounds last season...

He is who he is. Why can't he became this that this. Your best bet is to accept the team as it is.

You didn't have to write all that. We are Dwight and a bunch of jump shooters that have never been known to be defensive. See? Easy.

 

Not exactly. . . the team hasn't been consistently running the same plays consistently. This team is still the 2nd in the league in points in the paint. Not much a matter of system as it is guys not recognizing mismatches and jacking up bad shots when a better option looms.

 

It has really been a lack of both consistency and effort. . . teams won't win games if they can't show either

 

 

 

 

What about the 9 game winning streak?

 

 

 

Hedo was being aggressive and playing well, as well as a string of playing pretty bad teams (with the exception of Boston and SA, SA coming off a back to back on the road). That and the team seemed to feed off the energy from the trade and etc by showing effort, playing defense, and running the break after they played defense.

 

 

And therein lies the problem for every single team in the NBA

by the way I think SVG had to keep Richardson in the game for that last posession. J.J. hadn't made a 3 in the game and was cold, Richardson made 4 three pointers and was carrying the team at the end...why he made that substitution???

Dude Murphy blows. We don't need anymore white folks. We need players who attack the rim.

[Magicman28 295]

Key word there: last.

 

If he's bought out and we sign him for cheap. I mean dirt cheap.

[Babir_9 95]

I am not a huge fan of Murphy but whom else can we get? some D-Legue player? Earl Barron? from all the rumors we have-Troy Murphy is the best option. We can not make a trade because no one needs Duhon or Q.Rich with their long contracts...

This was said last year, too.

2nd in the league? That's Dwight. Is there chemistry issues to work on sure but all you gotta do is look at the roster. No one outside of Dwight in their careers are known to play defense. None are known to be slashers. We are simply Dwight and a bunch of jump shooters. The only guy who was successful at slashing was Arenas because of that quick first step. Its not there right now and no one knows if it ever will be.
