Yeah, don't know why you're telling me though.
Let's not overstate the performance though, it was against the Raptors and they had most their starters out as well.

Only because you make excuses when the Heat lose when Wade is out because the bench is so bad. Raptors aren't that much worse then the Bucks.

Re: 2010-2011 Official Miami Heat Thread
The bench is bad. That's been one of the biggest issues with the Heat all season. If you want to give them more credit than they deserve, feel free.
I can't take what you say seriously when you say that the Raptors aren't much worse than the Bucks. I'll make this quick:
1. This season the Raptors won 22 games, compared with the Bucks who won 35. The Bucks are a significantly better team by that stat alone.
2. When the Bucks played the Heat they had all their starters playing, and key bench players. No key rotation players were injured either. When the Raptors played the Heat today, they only had one of their regular starters playing (DeRozan) and were missing 4 of their top 5 scorers. Not to mention their best player Bargnani, and their leading rebounders and interior players (Amir Johnson & Reggie Evans). The Raptors were so depleted that Solomon Alabi, who has only played 44 minutes this season, had to suit up and play.
3. The Raptors are a miserable team, who clearly wouldn't care about winning their last game since their best players weren't even playing, and they had such a rubbish season.
So let's not even pretend like the competition, or circumstances of today's win over the Raptors were even remotely similar to when we lost to the Bucks two weeks ago.

Re: 2010-2011 Official Miami Heat Thread
Thats right its not the same as the Bucks, With the Bucks you had James and Bosh and lost, Today you didn't have Wade,Bosh or James and you won. Only difference is that the Heat played rubbish against the Bucks and thats the reason they lost, Not because Wade didn't play.

So part of us playing bad can't have to do with the fact that we didn't have Wade? They are linked.. They aren't exclusive factors...

Re: 2010-2011 Official Miami Heat Thread
Wow you just don't get it. What you said doesn't even make sense. You can't compare the game against the Bucks to the game against the Raptors - they are completely different.
Clearly what you want me to say is "the Heat played bad against the Bucks, and that is why they lost" and yes clearly they played badly if the result was them losing. But that doesn't mean I can't say the loss was also due to Wade being out, because clearly if he played they would have won.
The win against the Raptors is completely different. How you can compare the Bucks game to beating a lottery team who have 1 of their top 5 scorers in the last game of the season, which they clearly didn't care about, is beyond me. But clearly your logic is too flawed to accept that. I can't be bothered to reply to anything else you say, it's too ridiculous.

They probably can man. They are a scrappy team. I think if Lou Williams can get it going, one of those games, he can really give the 76ers a chance. He is a great shot-maker and scorer, and he can get in the lane, make plays for himself and others etc. I don't see them having much more of a chance than that though. They don't have a dissecting point guard or dominant big man to take advantage of the Heat's flaws.

Whatever man, I can't be bothered to argue with you.
It's playoffs time. 1-0.

Knicks Imposter here but I just wanted to say that the Heat are in a sweet position to have the ultimate line up with these new sanctions, they will be stronger then ever but they also need to win for Lebron's sake.
You should be working in their front office James.
