Maybe if we get this under 30, Ted will consider it progress and write a positive blog about it. I want to go to game with a brown paper bag so bad right now. I'm not excited at all about getting a high draft pick, because they could easily be a Veasly/Kwame type bust while we continue to surround our "core players" with overpaid, crap veterans. Damn near everything about this franchise is garbage, but I keep holding out hope cause I love 'em.

I still feel violated as a fan. This is not okay, and I really want to see our fan base get pissed off about this and show it in the arena more often. It's embarrassing.

I made a decision early in this game that I'd rather watch the Allen Iverson 30 for 30 story.

I got tickets to a couple of games after Christmas, i'm giving the paper bag idea serious consideration.

I'm watching the UFC fighter finale on FX. The heat weren't happy to lose the last time, I knew they'd be looking to make a statement.

Ricky Rubio is going to haunt this franchise as long as he's in the NBA. First game back and he looks great.

Show up early and sell tshirt a with various slogans demanding Grunfeld be fired.

Vesely scored, but he also had 2 fouls to even the score.

Fouls are still beating points on the season.

[AsiaticSkinsFan]

didnt watch more than 5 seconds of this game.

I didnt see the score, but saw Vesly foul Norris Cole, so I KNEW we were down big. After Cole hit one of 2, it was a 31 point lead.

John Wall can't come back soon enough. I just want to see him play. Pretty much the only thing that can give me any hope for even a modest future is if he comes back and starts killing it.

Damn his rehab went quick. He tore his ACL and LCL in March. That's amazing. Wonder if they are rushing him back?

Must be nice to have a competent medical staff...

Beal is -40 for the game, I don't believe I've ever seen a split like that before.

God that's awful. And he was arguably our best player tonight. On the flip side LeBron was +36.

The average +/- of our starters was just over -29. The average for the Heat was of course just over +29. It was just a straight beat down of their starters against ours. A blunt reminder of how depressingly far away from the top we are.

It was just a ho hum beat down. The Heat came out immediately playing like themselves and just put the screws to us in every way you can. Forced us into turnovers, kept us out of out spots and gave us no good looks while their starters were in. Never let us get anything close to a rhythm going. It was a dominant defensive performance and then they were nearly as good on the other end of the floor. We were completely outclassed. It was the worst team in the league playing against the best team. LeBron had a workmanlike double double. We were out of the game right after the half.

Crawford had a bad shooting game. We've got absolutely 0 chance of winning a game if he's not on fire while Nene and Wall are out. Seraphin barely showed up in the game until late in the third. Martell Webster also couldn't get much to go and it's at the point where we need him contributing and nailing shots to be competitive.

Ves actually got on the floor after the game was out of reach and didn't look completely useless for a change.

The only positives to be taken away were Beal and Martin. Beal looked aggressive on offense and started driving and making plays in transition. Martin has put a pair of good games together and is earning more regular minutes IMO. Yeah he's a little flat on D but he scores well enough to put into the rotation and he needs consistent PT to keep his shot going.

Nene out again? Lol but we got the better player. I like Nene but come on man he's going too continue too be plagued by injuries and he's eating up a huge chunk of our cap for the next 5 years. Denver defiantly won got the cheaper, younger player, with great potiental that can be depended on too play every game.

Agreed 100%. I like Nene but if he's never healthy he's not that valuable. McGee had a lot of value on the trade market, could have definitely gotten a better deal.

McGee was not dependable and he was a poisonous presence on the team.

Nene has plantar fasciitis and we were playing our fourth game in five days. A game off was in order.

thats a big extra

he tried hard, he was just an idiot. And yes, I remember Wittman benching McGee last season for his stupidity.


Blatche was a poisonous presence. Gilbert was a poisonous presence. McGee was just a try hard idiot.

He was the biggest laughing stock in the league. His teammates ans coaches thought he was a clown and didn't respect or trust him. You can't win with a starting C like that. He had to go as bad as NY and Blatche and Gil did.

[pjfootballer]

whats the good with having the better player when he has a chronic injury and a bad contract?

And McGee has a higher PER, if that still matters...

And 6 years younger.

No Nene tonight.

Wow, would have never saw that coming.
