Heat strapped with unproductive bench

This sort of bench production has been going on for two years and now the MH wants to act like it's some revelation. The Heat supporters were quite fine with the team and thought the answer to building a team was 3 stars and 9 average joes, or whoever could fit within the cap space. Now with a good possibility of getting bounced in the 2nd round, you need to find blame other than where it should go.......that being Riley and Wade. Many got carried away with the glitz and forgot about importance and patience of building a team. This team was built overnight using a few nice pieces and alot of shotty construction. That's doomed failure in my book.

With all the opt-out clauses in 2014, the next couple of years will be interesting in Miami.

"We Did It".....

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

having said that. KG got something like 20+ million in his last year of his contract. Pierce did too last year. Why they both didnt approach Ainge and say," let's make our bench better, let spend some money there..." or " Let's keep Perk and restructure my contract...". Once you win one championship and you win multiple championships, you basically will make up for it in endorsements later on. It's baffling more superstars making big money do not think like this.....

Though LeBron took less than the max he could have received, you make a good point. They definitely need more from others (other than the big 3) especially for the playoffs. It seems that Miller can't shoot in the playoffs at all and Udonis' shooting skills have dropped off as well. They need younger more athletic rising stars. Obviously a championship win would greatly enhance those endorsement $ as well as peace of mind.

Indiana Pacers are healthy, have got balanced scoring, a huge front court, and confidence. Miami is dealing with the loss of Bosh, an unproductive bench, and 2 fatigued all stars in the 3rd & 4th quarters. If Miami can pull this off, I doff my hat to them....
