Why does Miami have so much days off in between games?

Monta Ellis and OJ Mayo go the same contract this past offseason.

One salvaged his career and the other well yall see it.

Can't tell me organizational leadership don't matter.

to me, its as much on the player as the organization. OJ has been a professional for years. he took the $8Ms and decided to spend it all on food.

al jefferson didn't have the same attitude when he signed in charlotte. of course Al is a much better player with a bigger impact on the game than OJ, but i'd blame OJ before the bucks.

unless the bucks paid OJ in food :nerd:
 
Hopefully Bulls get swept and that spurs the front office to make some moves and rethink their strategy of signing scrub players year after year.

The problem is that every year management goes in thinking this will be the year when Derrick Rose can stay healthy and they have a shot to win it at all. When that doesn't work out, they're forced to sign a bunch of rental players to remain competitive. I think they just blow up the team and go full tank mode. They can continue to win teams with this lineup during the regular season, but they are just too inept offensively to make a deep run.

They need to forget about Derrick Rose and move on.

He has gotten major injuries the last two years, and who know's what's going to happen next year.

Even with Rose they aren't good enough to beat Miami in the ECF. We saw what happened in 2011 with their team at full strength.

Their first mistake was thinking a healthy Rose gives them any chance to win it all.
 
Does anyone think that terrible free throw shooters like Dwight should try banking them in?
Honestly they should go underhand, Rick Barry style. Their percentages would go way up

Most guys would be too embarrassed though :rolleyes
