Will they ever win again?


Staring a 12-game losing streak in the face, you gotta think that the HEAT thought they were going to handle the pitiful Knicks. Sure Miami had just dropped two in a row at home, but NY hadn't won but 3 road games all season.

Make that 4. Rookie un-sensation Daequan Cook airballed a three in the closing seconds that coulda, woulda, shoulda tied the game. Disgraceful.

Miami sucks. It was clear from the word go that Riley mortgaged the HEAT future for a chance for a Shaq-led Championship. Riley got what he wanted. Unfortunately, the HEAT's future is now. They are awful in every sense. Poor defense, bad shot selection and a general tendency to do the wrong thing at the worst time. Shaq's contract is horrible. Somehow he defense is worse. The one-time MDE an absolute liability on the floor. Wade remains spectacular. But with such a weak team, he is essentially irrelevant on the League landscape. Weird, right?

  • Yeah, the Heatians are ass right now. I suppose you make the deals that Riles did to get the championship, but now they'll be bad for a while. And Shaq--he should prolly retire at this point. There's no way he can be traded with that contract and essentially his team is almost sure to suck with him on it. And so goes the end days for the Diesel.

    As great as Wade is, I wish the NBA and its television partners would replace the remaining Heat games on the national schedule with Blazers and Hornets games.

    Where's Sneep?

  • Agreed with the less Heat games is better. The Heat are part of the TNT triple header tonight vs. Cavs. Great.

    I don't think it's quite the same thing...because they haven't yet gone so hight, and might not fall so low...but will we be saying the same thing about Boston in a few years' time?
