Ray looking good.
Wade looking good.
Bosh.. getting a little better and less of a nonfactor.
Bron.. i think is semi struggling still.
Shane.. not doing much.

Everyone else.. Idk lol.

But we needed this win badly. And hopefully this puts us in the right direction. #1 seed is still possible...
 
Seems as though Greg Oden is going to remain in the starting lineup for the time being. Who could have envisioned Oden would be playing this late in the season let alone be our starting Center down the stretch.

Heat To Keep Greg Oden In Regular Starting Lineup
Mar 18, 2014 1:41 PM EDT


The Miami Heat plan to continue with Greg Oden as the starting center indefinitely.

The Heat have had success over the past two seasons playing a small-ball style, so the presence of Oden is a dramatic change in strategy.

"My board in my office at the arena looks like the character from Beautiful Mind," Spoelstra said, "and so I have a lot of different scenarios. So it's one of the many scenarios that I've chewed on for the last six weeks or so."

With Chris Bosh legitimately extending his range to the three-point line, Spoelstra believes the Heat can maintain small-ball principles with Oden in the lineup.

"I've stressed that to our team, that last year's blueprint was for last year," Spoelstra said, "and the more we tried to pigeonhole ourselves into that blueprint, we might not be opening ourselves up to a more successful or necessary blueprint for this year, as the competition has changed. As it's gotten better, our team, our personnel has gotten better. It always changes."

Oden has yet to play on consecutive nights as he continues to get stronger after taking four years off.

Battier seems to be on his last legs

But I still have faith that he'll come around and "Let It Fly" come playoff time
 
Good win by us. But I wonder why Spo decided to give Beas no minutes tonight..?

Either way I like the effort from the team tonight. Plus old man Haslem grabbing rebounds and Oden getting guaranteed minutes for the rest of the season is always a plus.
 
Our defense is just bad right now. We shouldn't be giving up points like this to teams like this. Shows were still in this funk. Battier really does look bad out there.
 
Why did Battier play the whole 4th? Once again Spo forgets he has a pretty good athletic wing in Beasley, especially when we needed points badly in the 4th.
 
Our offense is just so bad to watch right now. No easy layups no cuts nobody's knocking down 3s other then ray lebrons struggling.
 
Jesus Shuttlesworth still has BOUNCE!!! :pimp: :pimp: :pimp:

Needed this victory, glad we got it!

Another game another offensive struggle. We fall behind every single game now and its getting ridiculous really.
 
This team is so frustrating to watch right now. They consistently lose to mediocre teams, their defense is average at best, they have not been shooting the 3 well. This team does not have an identity.

If they keep playing like they have been I don't see them wining another championship. LeBron and Birdman are the only consistent players on the team right now.
 
Seriously spo needs to pick a starting line up and stick with it starting now. Wade needs to play if he's fine no more matience he's had enough. If odens gonna he on the line up then he needs to play more then 8 mins a game if sports thinks he's gonna be part of the team and contribute then let him play stop sitting him out so much.
 
Poor display of basketball night after night smh. Just gotta corral them and go on a spurt just before the playoffs
