Shaq's not happy....

[TRLakes32]

I'm sure this is somehow Kobe's fault, but it definitely isn't Shaq's or Wade's.....

Blame Pat Riley. He's doing a terrible job of coaching this year, he draws up the plays, he's the one that has to draw up plays to get Shaq the ball. You can't just run down the court and throw it to Shaq. As well, Ricky Davis is taking way too many shots. Davis is taking the same number of shots this year as he took last year, when he was the #2 option in Minnesota. They need to let the offense run through Wade, he creates shots. He can take his man to the basket and make a lay-up or draw a foul. If the drive isn't there, then Shaq is in the paint posting up his man. If Shaq gets double-teamed, they have Davis, Cook, and J-Will, all who can make 3's at will. Riley isn't doing what he needs to do to get this team to where they need to be. They have the talent to be a top 4 team in the conference, but they aren't playing to their strengths.

You have a point..but I wouldn't say Davis, Cook, and J-Will can make 3's at will. That's hardly the case.

I honestly thought they would be contending with Detroit and Boston when they got Davis and Blount from Minny. Not sure whats going on but they still have time to correct it.

I was at the game, great game for us. The Heat decided to play small ball to match up with the Warriors. I don't understand why teams that has good centers don't use them and instead try to match up with the Warriors' speed?

Miami chokes away another game tonight in Golden State.

How does Shaq only get 6 shots (2 of which came from offensive rebounds he grabbed) while making all 6?

Shaq needs 15+ shots per game. He is shooting a career high 60.3% from the field. Tonight was the 6th straight game the Shaq did not reach 10 or more shots.

Why was Shaq and Zo on the bench the entire 4th quarter? Had they run the offense thru Shaq in the 4th, he would have been fouled which slows the game down, eliminates fast break opportunities for Golden State, and provided time for the Heat players to rest.

I was looking at the odds to win the NBA championship, and the Warriors are 40/1. I'm really considering putting $25 down, with the hopes of winning $1000. The Warriors are going to be awesome once they trade for Pau Gasol.
