Miami Heat: What happened?!

How is it that Miami have much the same team as their title winning team.... BUT.... are sucking so much?

Is it just cos they got too many old guys now?

I feel sorry for Wade... hes an absolute nobody this year

Shaq, Mourning and Williams got old, Wade got injured, they lost Posey and Kapono, they traded Fatoine and his shimey for some other malcontents. They weren't even very good last season before all those things happened.

THEY CAN'T SHOOT FREE THROWS -THATS ONE MAJOR PROBLEM NOR CAN THEY MAKE AN QUTSIDE J.

Wade is shooting terribly from the FT line this year. The other day he was 6-11 and today he was 6-12. He was 0-3 from 3 point today also.
Shaq..well you all no how bad a FT Shooter he is.
But the truth is that in the NBA you lose games by relative low margins(except for the knicks loosing by 45 to the celts). Generally you may lose by under 10 points in most games. If D-Wade goes 6-12 and shaq shoots 2-6 like both did today, then thats 10 missed FT'S all together which is 10 points wasted.
Now they lost to Utah by 9 points, so if they had made their FT's they would have won!
Simple as that! Basic fundamentals! You might be able to tomahawk dunk and throw it down but if you can't shoot FT's then you wont win. Now you know why the coach emphasises fundamentals.

Geez Max you put alot've thought into that didn't you?
I mean, it's quite normal for NBA players to shoot 100% from the Free throw line, right? LOL.

Freethrows aint the problem, its age & lack of depth.

Wade has never been able to shoot jumpshots.

Maybe they could recruit Chappell? He'd fit in perfectly. Old, can't play D, can't shoot.

Did we recruit Chappell from Miami's Summer League team?

"Wade has never been able to shoot jumpshots."

I suppose you missed his trip to the finals then.

And my mate reckons we shouldve cleared out Kobe instead of Shaq

The Lakers would be screwed now had we kept Shaq

The big fella shouldve retired when they won the title

He is past it

Age is finally catching up with shaq. he doesnt have that spring in his step any more. And wade's shoulder was injured, but hes bak now as we all saw his performance in the olympics. And now they got beasley as well and should have a playoff contending team in another 2 - 3 years for sure.

wade was the main dude of the team, with him not playing 100% well dats wat lead to miami coming last.
