Yep, those were the words uttered by Miami Heat head coach Pat Riley after watching Dwyane Wade lead this stupid team to a horrendous start to the new NBA Basketball season.
The Miami Heat lost five of their last seven games, dropping two straight games in a row. And in those losses, the Miami Heat, a team once regarded as the defending NBA Champions, were BLOWN AWAY quite convincingly.
Ohmigod… Are they still hoping for a re-PEAT? C’mon, who you kidding?
Pat Riley is just embarrassed with the way the stupid Miami Heat team is playing offense. What did you expect Mr. Riley? Dwyane Wade can’t shoot the basketball right from the get go anyway. ‘’I haven’t looked at them. I’m embarrassed by it,'’ Pat Riley said of his team’s offense.
The Heat are still at the very BOTTOM of NBA Basketball in scoring. Is it the new balls? Um… NO. Like what I wrote a month ago, Dwyane Wade won’t get the benefit of the officials’ calls this time like he did in last season’s NBA Finals. And yeah, because of that, these old farts in Miami won’t be able to bring the heat.
Does the coach consider it a problematic trend or still an early-season…
Today’s hottest game video comes to you courtesy of Wii Sports. In one of the bowling training stages, you have the chance to roll at 91 pins. This guy goes for the rail though, and misses every pin, yet manages to knock ‘em all down. Now that’s bowling. Of course, if you tried that with Walter from The Big Lebowski, you’d get a .45 in your face, so watch it.
Give it a whirl and let us know how it goes, just don’t punch a hole in your TV with the Wii-mote.

Well apparently the fights don’t stay up long anymore (on the video sharing sites). It’s crap, but what can you do? As a result, enthusiasts are being forced to make “highlights” videos of fights, that are apparently recognized as unregulated. One such highlight video of the fight is below:
Best part: “I think we are all one. There is no U.S.A. no Canada. This is a sporting event. I love you all. I don’t care if my fans are Canadian, American, Japanese, Chinese, I like them all equal.”
Well said.
After two straight NIT seasons, Gary Williams’ Terrapins were ranked as the eighth-best team in the ACC — behind such basketball powerhouses as Virginia Tech and Florida State — by none other than their hometown paper, the Washington Post. And it’s with those lowered expectations for a struggling program that they’ve surprised and delighted with a 6-0 start that includes four impressive wins:
• 81-63 over Vermont, who won by 14 at BC
• 92-60 over St. John’s, who lost by 1 the following night to Texas
• 62-60 over Michigan State, who beat Texas by 2 the previous night
• 71-60 over Winthrop, who lost by 7 at UNC
So what’s the difference between this year’s Turtles and those of the past two seasons who’ve left fans bitter and disappointed? Well, on the surface of things, not much:
Returner you definitely know — DJ Strawberry, son of Darryl. This season he’s been able to move off the ball and is the team’s leading scorer (and chest thumper) at 16.2 points/game.
Returners you probably know — Ekene Ibekwe, Mike Jones and James Gist. These three are all in double figures and, along with Strawberry, provide upperclass leadership. Ibekwe and his absurd wingspan have been especially imposing on the defensive end, averaging 2.7 blocks per game.
Newcomers you should know — Greivis Vasquez, Bambale Osby and Eric Hayes. Vasquez compares loosely to Manu Ginobili, Osby to Ben Wallace and Hayes to Steve Blake. Of course, none of these three figure to be as good as any of those three, but all are first-year Terps making major contributions. Vasquez, especially, looks like a baller and is sure to agitate players and fans up and down the East Coast.
It’ll be interesting to see how these holdovers and the newcomers hold up, especially as conference play begins, but one thing looks certain: This isn’t just the eighth-best team in the ACC. Maryland should be up there with UNC, Duke, Georgia Tech and BC when it’s all said and done.
They’ve got four losses on the year - all against losing teams; two of which are arguably the worst in the entire NBA.
Sorry to have our sole Thanksgiving post be somewhat of an angry rant, but enough is enough. They didn’t show up for four quarters (again) last night, and we pin it on Head Coach Mike Brown.
Credit him for playing rookie Daniel Gibson decent minutes - as we suspected, the kid can play, and he was very active in getting the Cavaliers back in during a second quarter rally.
Execution down the stretch was pitiful - no fourth quarter free throws. Zero. Just a bunch of three-point attempts and the allowance of greasy foreign guards to get layups.
Coach Brown weighs in.
“[As a coaching staff] we just have to present the facts because I don’t have a magic potion,” said Brown. “We have to watch tape and see what we did on tape and see if we gave it our all on both ends of the floor and go from there.”
Umm…yes and no.
Your job is to present the facts, and then to pair the application of those facts alongside motivation.
That means that when they’re doing the thing where they come out flat and not trying, and go down by 18 to the freaking Raptors in the first quarter, you yank your starters.
It also means that when they’re doing that thing where they’re taking endless 3-pointers for no reason, you call a time-out and say something like, “The next one of you a-holes who takes a three-pointer is sitting down for the rest of the game!!” and then you follow through on that.
It means you take LeBron, sit him down, and figure out why the hell he’s been so distracted all season. Hard to argue with his stats, but anyone who’s watched him enough to know when he’s “there” and “not there” can tell you he’s been on the latter setting for 11 out of the 12 games so far.
Yeah, they’re 8-4, but they could and possibly should be 11-1. The good thing is they have yet to lose to an actual good team - they seem to execute against them.
NOTE: Andrea Bargnani looks like he’ll be a player one day for sure, but the double chin has gotta go. Unacceptable.
HOLIDAY NOTE: We love nearly 87% of you and thank you for continuing to read. JOY to thee!
