Man has been the bane of our fucking existence in this division ever since he got that job, i swear to god – there has been like 2-4 seasons since the Southeast Division was formed that either us or Miami didn’t win the division (I think Orlando won twice when Dwight was on the team and Washington might have won it once when John Wall made them super competitive).

It doesn’t matter if he’s gotta pull warm bodies from the local YMCA – they will somehow become local demigods for Miami. After Popovich, I think he’s the only coach in the league who you know he’d have to choose to leave his job if he wanted to stop coaching the team he’s with.

Ehh… a solid 6 or 7. Dejounte re-upping for a lower price was big and really helped us bring in a veteran presence I think the team was sorely lacking. I’m sad we had to give up JC, but that injury of his tanked any upside he had and there seems to be far better spacing on the team now that we don’t have that role redundancy in the frontcourt.

If Patty and Wes can make a positive impact on the young guys and keep them from losing the focus they seem to have through these preseason games… well, we might actually perform like the team we’re supposed to instead of being held back by the shit coaching we’ve had for the last 2 seasons before QS.
