Heat to play faster
Posted by Unknown on Wednesday, September 05, 2012 with 30 comments
For years the Miami Heat were accused of playing boring basketball, slow halfcourt sets that were often predictable and in previous years left the Heat ranked in the bottom half of the league "21st" in offensive productivity. Last season there was a slight improvement as the Heat were ranked 14th overall in offense. Yesterday Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra indicated in a radio interview that the Heat will play at an even faster pace this upcoming season and also addressed the addition of Ray Allen.
"I hope to play faster," he said. "We turned it up a gear last year and I think we have the personnel to hopefully go even faster. And I think with a normal training camp and a full season, we can build that habit a little bit more."
And speaking of Ray Allen
"He's a Hall of Fame-type catch-and-shoot player," Spoelstra said. "We haven't had that element before in our offense. So it's been a lot of fun, trying to X-and-O and come up with new ways to get him open. I don't want to overthink it. I don't want to totally change what we do, but that's a great element to have, that type of weapon."

DeleteMost of you need to go back to school and learn how to correctly build a sentence. Do you even read what you wrote before you submit it? One way to win an argument on the internet is to have proper grammar and make your opponent look like an uneducated high school drop out. Take the extra minute and completely type out words and use punctuation so others can understand what you are talking about.
ReplyDeleteMan fuck that. I told u get off this app and go b a punk ass substitute teacher then. me and tuhduh was just jokin around until he got sensitive. Both of yall need to grow a sac

DeleteHeat would beat the 1992 dream team....
ReplyDeleteHaha, na homie. The heat could not beat the dream team. They were too good. Hence the name "DREAM TEAM" They could beat any other team in basketball for sure, their strait killers, but not the dream team, buddy. There is way too many heat haters, and laker haters out there, so don't get offended when you see comments on an article about 1 of em'. Ppl hate the best teams out there every time, in every sport. Yankees, patriots, etc. Cuz they are typically better than their home team, or the bandwagoners, and their favorite teams span all over the US. If your a Lakers yankees patriots fan, your a fucking douche bag bandwagoner. If you a true fan to your team, then you have the right to say whatever you want.
DeleteJajaja that was funny,,, the heat can beat 92 dream team jajajajaja!
