The Heat Season Opener: Not that Bad...
Author: RL
Surprisingly, the Heat didn't play as bad as i thought they would in their home opener against the dreaded Pistons. But I do have some issues I'd like to address...
Why are the Heat still clinging on to Dorrell Wright??? What has this kid proven but that he's very inconsistent and breaks under pressure??? I saw the potential in him when he 1st started, but how long ago was that? Every time he's given an opportunity somehow someway he finds a way to just not show up when he's needed. I wonder if Riley was tryin to throw him in a trade deal and no one wanted him...hmmmm
On a brighter note, Ricky Davis is that scorer we desperately needed with wade being sidelined for the time being. He had a few turnovers, but keep in mind he's had maybe a hand full of practices with the Heat since being traded here a little over a week ago. He should flourish soon enough.
Shaq's age showed up as well last night. Detroit's double teaming gave Shaq trouble, but eventually Shaq found a way to dish it off to Smush parker and Ricky davis for the 3.
It's only the beginning of the season and with wade back in the fold the Heat turn into a whole other entity. I'm hoping they can survive until he returns.
