    I've got no complaints, just a random observation, I had no clue Udonis Haslem was still in the league, and still on the Heat. Dude has spent his entire career on the Heat and I figured he retired a couple years ago, but I guess he just faded into the background of the LeBron/Wade/Bosh teams.

    ^^ he also grew up in Florida, went to college there, and as you said, played his entire career there.

    There isn't much to complain about in the Orlando game.

    Young has gone ice cold after his hot streak but thats ok, it hasn't cost us yet. And we should have iced the game earlier.

    I understand, the shooting issues are a little weird, but hopefully he's starting to turn the corner. Obviously he's not going to shoot 6/9 every night like he has the past two games, but the tide is turning.

    Agreed. To hold them to 2 for 20 shooting in the 3rd quarter and we were only up by 10 or 12 pts. That lead needs to be bigger.

    I don't have many complaints the last 4 games. Hopefully he can build on this.

    This team needs a definitive star, a closer. As a group we could/should beat the bad teams but we won't beat teams that have guys like Lillard.

    Also ESPN710am is replacing Thompson and Trudell with Stephen freaking A Smith. Guess I'm going to need to find something else to listen to during my drive. Gonna miss the Laker insight they provided.

    Our defense was decent for most of the game. It's just near impossible to win when our primary scorers (Russell, Julius, Young, JC, Lou) goes for a combined 15-51 (29.4%) shooting night. Hopefully it's just a 1 game shooting drought.

    Haven't watched it yet, but yeah, wow, bad shooting night all around. Only guys who looked like they had decent games from the box score were Ingram and Deng. And they don't shoot that much.
