Good and Bad

With the pre-season in full swing, we yet have to see the Heat win a game. The pre-season record doesn't mean anything, but the last time I remember the Heat losing all their pre-season games we went on to a franchise-worst 15-67 record on the regular season.

Should I worry? Not sure yet. The games are not televised, so I could not actually watch the game tonight. San Antonio won 95-93 in the first Heat home game at American Airlines Arena (I am in Los Angeles and not Miami now so I couldn't attend also). Dwyane Wade also sat out, and so did Jermaine O'Neal. The Spurs played without Ginobilli and Duncan, so the match was still even when it comes to Superstars. Daequan Cook had 20 points, Mario Chalmers 17 and Michael Beasley 16. Cook's 3-pointer at the buzzer bounced off the rim. 

It's good to see that the team can compete even without Dwyane Wade. We cannot expect him to do everything, and if the Heat want to get better results that last season we need someone else to score and draw attention. I believe Michael Beasley can finally be that weapon for the Heat, and after all the drama of the summer he can prove to everyone that he is not only ready but better than ever. 

So I don't think it's time to panic yet, but with other teams showing that they are solid early on, we need to make sure that the team is ready for the start of the season in just a few weeks. Next game is Wednesday at Oklahoma City.

Man... we are sadly sucking ass. Spo needs to stop taking people out when their on fire. i rememeber him doing that last season too in some occasions. Thats very frustrating. We need someone to step up real big and like you said "take some of the attention" because if not, and we have a crappy year, we could be kissing DWade good bye.

If this happens, i will definatelly be one of the thousands of fans standing outside Spo & Rileys house with sticks and stones. =X

Heat need to step it up!!!!
