Q: Why hasn't coach played Dampier, I know Anthony is pretty good on defense but he is a liability in offense while Dampier is pretty decent at both and why did they signed him and had him start a bunch of games and now where it counts he is not even on the bench.
Answered 05/16/11 02:06:06 by Joseph Goodman

A: OK, thanks for the question. LeBron actually has played a lot of four during the playoffs. We'll see if it continues against the Celtics.Submitted by Greg from Philippines
Q: i am just wondering why other players are not playing with Miami Team ?? such as Eddie H 7& Mcgloire? a team combined of 12 Players, winning a championship is 5 players.. i understand that Wade is best end game player than le bron, let the other players chances to play...
Answered 04/29/11 00:27:14 by Joseph Goodman
A: Rosters always shrink during the playoffs. That said, Eddie House received important minutes on Wednesday in Game 5 against the Sixers. Magloire hasn't played much all season. He's more of an insurance policy. Mike Miller and Udonis Haslem could return to action against the Celtics.Submitted by Roger Denny from Laughlin Nevada
Q: Why has Mike Miller's ship sailed.Spolestra has handled his playing horribly this year.
Answered 04/28/11 14:36:25 by Joseph Goodman
A: Not Spoelstra's fault at all. Miller has been hurt throughout the season with various injuries. Currently, his left thumb is the problem and probably will require surgery after the playoffs.Submitted by Maria from Miami, Fl
Q: Hi, Joe, I like posting questions cus I love talking bball w/ someone that knows! : ) Which team do you think pose a bigger challenge to the Heat, Chicago or Boston? What adjustments do you think we'd need to make?
Answered 04/26/11 22:59:53 by Joseph Goodman
A: Definitely Boston. Rondo has caused the Heat problems this season and Wade must lose his "little-brother" mentality against the Celtics for the Heat to advance.Submitted by luis seoane from miami beach,fl.
Q: heat are pretenders not real conteders,you know the wheels are going to come of the wagon sooner or later,with the worst point gards in the league,the the woman's college basketball championship had 2 better point guards than the heat.mike miller and u. haslem the 2 highest paid player after the big 3 failed --f--- grade for the year.nobody except dampier,j. anthony and james jones played to their potential and they should be playing more.the rest are a bunch of hasbeens and should be out of the league. give me the best d-league point guards next year over what we have now---what do you think?????
Answered 04/26/11 22:38:12 by Joseph Goodman
A: Wow, I think you need to step away from the ledge. That said, you're right about a lot of your points.Submitted by w.t.james from hialeah,fl.
Q: Why isn't House getting play time? (Esp. late in the game) Wade is the only proven playoff nonchoke,but he's no 3 point shooter! The HEAT being 1 of 17 in last second wins is not the mark of an NBA Championship. This should have been worked out in the first 82 games,and LJ AND CB came to Miami became Wade has the RING.
Answered 04/26/11 22:35:11 by Joseph Goodman
A: "Nonchoke"...I like that. House definitely is "nonchoke" but he's also "nondefense."
