09-10 Miami Heat Season Preview!
THE PLAYERS
If you look at any team that has ever won an NBA tittle, they had balance. That is what makes a team great. And I can prove that… the Lakers were horse shit when it was only Kobe carrying all the weight, because every one else NOT named Kobe was garbage, that’s a lot.. considering that at the time he was the best player in the NBA. Now that they have other good players, they won a championship. No tam ever gets a trophy with one good player, no matter how good he is. Jordan never won a championship by himself.
We have to pick up more weight off Wade’s shoulders. Especially Jermaine Oneal, he needs to give us AT LEAST 13 PPG and 9 RPG. Same with Haslem. Cook, Arroyo and Chalmers also have to play well… because frankly, Wade is going to be very alone in this team. Quinten Richardson needs to do more then what he did last season dropping only 10 PPG. Oh, and Beasley? STEP UP.
THE TEAM
We need to sign a center (a GOOD center) and a point guard (a GOOD point guard, not fucking Arroyo) our bench needs to step up and our turn overs MUST GO DOWN. Our biggest flaw is that when we do win, we never BLOW anyone out, unless theyre the Bobcats or the Kings. Or some other happy team. Our post game is pitiful, Haslem needs to really start dominating…. his role this year will be very different. Same with Oneal.
DWYANE WADE
Last season we saw how badly our team was impaired, by the way Wade’s stats ROCKETED and kept gong up like clockwork. When you dont have Shaq or anyone else in your team, and your name is Wade… your stats WILL shoot up. But what he needs to do is play for the team, not try to outscore the opposing teams. He must be our leader, he has to do what Nash did to the shitty 04 Suns team, make them great out of nothing. If he can do that, we will have a shot.
PREDICTION
I predict our record will end up being 44-38. Why I put them over 500. you say? Because the East only has 3 great teams; Cavs, Celtics and Magic. If the Heat were in the West coast… then my record prediction would be very different. With this record they should be good for the 6th team to make the playoffs, and in the playoffs they may make it to the 2nd round. What do you guys think? Like the Heat this season?
Heat Sign Carlos Arroyo!
So according to the Miami Heats official website, we have just signed Point Guard Carlos Arroyo to a one year $1.1 million deal.
In just seven years this guy’s been fucking everywhere: Toronto, Denver, Utah, Detroit and most recently the Orlando Magic. (And now, obviously, the Heat)
He will wear the number 8 on the back of his jersey… which is good, that way I can get the bad taste out of my mouth from Antoine Walker wearing that number…. YUUCK!!
This guy averaged 7 points and 3 assists in his career so far. Why the fuck didnt we get Jamaal Tinsley instead of Arroyo?
John Lucas, the shittier of the point guards we have, will probably be let go. Why? Because now we have FOUR point guards in our roster. I say we trust Quinn to back up for Chalmers. Or get Tinsley. But why get Arroyo?
