after they loose tonight they are going to need a blow torch to save eboy’s name from destruction

eboy?

Ryan Jones says:
Sorry. I meant, eboy?

Myles Brown says:
The only thing that could save the Heat is a Delorean and Oscar Robertson’s address. Though, since he’s still alive, this would cause a disrupt in the space/time continuum. (Same thing with Magic…) So forget it. Making Shaq retire and clearing some cap space might be easier.

Take the bait Eboy

Nov.27 at 2:47 pm

Myles Brown says:
Not really. Just procrastinating other work I should be doing. Up with hope, down with dope! At least until Saturday.

d.Y. says:
Myles, I think you had the right idea the first time.

Captain America says:
The have Mark Blount.

Nov.27 at 2:51 pm

Myles Brown says:
Perhaps D. Maybe we could do something for Michael J. Fox too.

Nov.27 at 2:51 pm

H to the izzo says:
I’d like to have a Mark Blount right about now,but without his first name and the “o” in the surname.

Sam Mitchell's Conscience says:
And what exactly you consider Smush Parker then?

Nov.27 at 2:53 pm

H to the izzo says:
On an unrelated note,I have serious doubts about whether Soulja Boy has indeed Superman’d that Ho.

Dan says:
Eboy is secretly monitoring this post, waiting for his time to strike.

A Pimp Named Slickback says:
what is an izzo? and why does she say the dumbest things?

Nov.27 at 3:28 pm

white hot eboy says:
Dan, almost. I was actually working. Stupid work. Andre Miller is more on the radar at the moment if you guys must know. Philly would make that deal before Sac giving up Bibby. Bibby will be a Cav, Andre, a Heat (boy that sh*t sounds stupid).

Nov.27 at 3:50 pm

Cheryl says:
Nothing can happen ’til after the 15th anyway, right eboy? If Philly gives up Miller for Smush and Dorrell, it’d make me happy.

Nov.27 at 3:51 pm

Dan says:
That is conceivable, Eboy. Although ‘Dre Miller hasn’t been playing the most unselfish ball of his career lately. Hopefully the Heat make a worthwhile deal, or they may be stuck with another guard not doing his job.

Nov.27 at 3:54 pm

white hot eboy says:
Williams and Wright are probably more likely the movable pieces, unless Smush can pull another bench player. I’d take Miller in a different setting where he didn’t have to feel like he was the first option.

Nov.27 at 4:02 pm

Dan says:
I am still skeptical about him. I loved when he was playing in Denver, and the remainder of last season with the Sixers was pretty good, but this season has been different. And I don’t think it has anything to do with his position within the team. He just seems to be a different player. Although perhaps it can be accredited to him playing on such a horrible team. With underachievers such as Dalembert behind him, perhaps he has given up. Maybe he thinks he is stuck.

Nov.27 at 4:07 pm

white hot eboy says:
I don’t doubt he could think anything else, Dan.

Nov.27 at 4:10 pm

Dan says:
I think there are other possibilities.

Nov.27 at 4:11 pm

white hot eboy says:
For his mindset or his potential new teams?

Nov.27 at 4:15 pm

Dan says:
Well, now that you bring it up, for both. I think that he could be thinking that he hasn’t been getting enough respect as a, let me say more traditional, point guard, so he has decided to try something new.

Nov.27 at 4:21 pm

white hot eboy says:
Well, it wasn’t so long ago that he was thought of as a top 10 PG in the league. Now, who thinks of Andre Miller when the games best point guards are mentioned. I think he would really blossom in an enviornment where he could be productive and provide scoring and toughness to teams that could use it (Miami, Cleveland, sh*t,even back to Denver)

Nov.27 at 4:25 pm

Cheryl says:
Nah. Quite simply, Miller’s playing for a sucky team and knows it. He’s a decent pg (not a CP or Williams) who can be agressive when it’s asked of him. The thing is, I think we may be giving up on Whit Eboy a bit too soon. He’s in a system that doesn’t offer a whole lot of freedom for the pg to be creative. If Riley eases the reigns a little bit, maybe JWill will feel better about scoring. Since Wade’s return, he’s not looking to score at all and looks a bit tentative.

Nov.27 at 4:27 pm

Cheryl says:
That post was before I read Eboy’s. So, yeah, like he said.

Nov.27 at 4:31 pm

white hot eboy says:
Cheryl, I think Eboy is suffering more now that Wade is back. He has been on the quiet tip since D-Wade came back, while early in the season, he was playing the best ball he has since he came to Miami. I think he feels overlooked and underused, and with Riley’s continual change in rotations this season, he hasn’t locked up his spot in the late game rotation. Minutes to Smush, Quinn and now Wade at the PG is a pain in the ass to deal with for the supposed starter.

Nov.27 at 4:39 pm

Cheryl says:
yeah, you’re right. But wasn’t that an issue on all his past teams–that he doesn’t evoke the coach’s confidence in the 4th? Remember GP was the 4th qtr. point.

albie1kenobi says:
i don’t think dre miller got anyone to pass to in Philly. you can only throw so many alley oops and kick it to ashton for 3s. i think a whit eboy/dre miller swap is good for both players (dre as the set up guy in miami and whit can shoot all he wants and throw all kinds of behind the back passes). good thinking, Cheryl and the other Eboy.

Nov.27 at 4:55 pm

white hot eboy says:
Cheryl, we all know J-Will’s D is pretty shi*ty so that get’s him the bench seat, but when you need a scoring option, he’s the best one we have at his position on the current roster so when D-Wade is drawing three guys we need someone to knock down a shot, and he hasn’t been doing that. And another thing, Cheryl, have you noticed how often Wade has been getting caught stuck in the air looking to pass since he came back? If I have to complain about something, that’s it. I never remember him having that as a habit since his rookie year.

patrick says:
who fits better, bibby or dre? although they need shooting, i think dre’s defense might be more important.

Nov.27 at 5:01 pm

white hot eboy says:
Dre fit’s better overall, Bibby is the better option for late game situations when open jumpers are a premium if Wade is corraled. I’d be happy with either one, if they can get it done.

Nov.27 at 5:42 pm

Cheryl says:
Yes, I have noticed that Eboy. It, to me, is a symptom of his distrust for his teammates, right now. UD and JWill are in a slump and he’s not sure if he can trust Ricky to make the shot. It’ll get better. I still think, with his fearlessness, Cook shouldn’t be getting any DNP-CDs.

Nov.27 at 9:04 pm

Sesa says:
Why Smush is still getting minutes? for throwing airball or errant passes?

Nov.27 at 9:07 pm

Reggie Evans says:
I thought Smush Parker was supposed to solve that problem.

Nov.27 at 9:07 pm

Sesa says:
Umm, I dunno. That Wade’s comments looked pretty selfish to me.

Nov.27 at 10:56 pm

Ben Osborne says:
Wow are the Heat destroying the Betcats.

Nov.27 at 11:47 pm

Cheryl says:
Won’t be surprised to see Smush and Dorrell gone by the end of the year. Cook’s a far better prospect than Wright. I think Dorrell may do better in a more free-flowing system, like with Golden State. Do they have an extra point guard they’re not using?

Heat 110 - Bobcats 90 :P
Best of all, solid play from Williams!
11 PTS, 8 AST, 2 REB, 3 STL, 1 BLK!
