So far both teams are a bit sloppy, SA is up right now. A few things I've noticed: - Jason Williams can run the offense and looks very comfortable playing with Shaq and Wade - Posey disppointed a bit, but he only played for a little while - Shaq seems stronger than last year - Toine is doing very well and is playin unselfish ball - Wade looks great, his move to the hoop is still there and his shot is lookin good - Tim Duncan has a fro! - Haslem looks even better than last year and is improving his offensive game - Oberto isn't as good as I have heard people say about him but I hope to see more of him - Manu looks great and is playing with 100% even in pre-season - Zo is playing well and looks in great shape All in all, the game looks good and hopefully Miami comes out on top.
hei playmaker, just wondering in which channel did you watch the game? i couldnt find it anywhere.. do you have a league pass?
Hey guys just wanted to say that I was impressed with both teams tonight and I fully expect to see you guys in the Finals. If Antoine Walker plays the way he did tonight, you guys look very good. I'm very happy as a Spurs fan, and I think you guys have good reason to be happy too. Props to both clubs for this game and the money raised.
I know it's preseason, but I told you guys that Miami is best team in the league. People seem to exaggerate JWill and Tione's flaws, but I tried to explain that they're going into a situation where they know there role. Watching this preseason game, just confirms my prediction that Miami will be collecting championship rings at the end of the season
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Watching this preseason game, just confirms my prediction that Miami will be collecting championship rings at the end of the season</div> Come on, it's a preseason game. It was a turnover parade; some players haven't even found their role(s) on the squad. Kevin Braswell was in the final minutes of the game, 9/10 people will say ?Kevin who?? and that just proves my point. I'm not saying Miami will not be good, because personally behind the Spurs I'd rank them as the #1 team to win it all, but confirming your prediction on a preseason game, one preseason game at that is not very convincing. What would you have say if they lost?
I thought the Spurs younger verison bench did a great job considering the Heat played guys like Walker and Posey in the 4th at times along with Zo. Sanders, Graham, Ford e.t.c. Spurs starters looked great and were working very well togeather. Barry looked good out there. Hopfully he gets his three-point shot back to what It was in Seattle. a few things that stood out Shaq is still impossible to stop and Wade is like wise very tough. Thought Tonie did a good job, but alot of his points came against the guys just trying to make the Spurs roster. If Tonie can play his role and not go into chucking mode then the Heat are in good shape. Jason Williams didn't impress me much. Actually thought GP was more effective. Posey did nothing, Heat need alot out of him this year IMO Overall It was a good cause and brought some money to help the people that suffered through Katrina. As always pre-season results don't matter and for Rock to say this proves Heat will win the championship...well lets just say thats the most laughable thing he has said here. Although If he thinks pre-season is a sign then so be It.
A few observations from last nights game:<div align="left"></div> Jason Williams did not take that many shots. Antoine was incredible, played his part well great game if only he would have done the infamous "shimmy" lol Our Youngings played great, from Simien, Rice, Barron, Walsh and of course Kevin Braswell, what a play. Dorrel has a real bright future, and played "alright" yesterday Zo! Alonzo can still ball, great to see that block, and dunk last night from him. Shaq and Wade....you already know. And most importantly....we beat the champs, I realized something when Braswell hit the game winner, the team celebrating and cheering each other on showed alot, it shows theyre supportive of each other and are all focused on doing whats best for the team. Although it was a preseason game we still showed heart, and passion it was a great thing to see. Every player on the Heat squad was fired up, happy, and cheering as if they won the finals, these players have there hearts in it and after watching that celebration all chemistry doubts should be gone.
