Excuses already for the heat!!

[MiamiCelticfan]

The excuses are already starting to form celtics fans. Ira Winderman beat writer for the heat was on the radio tuesday already making excuses. This was even before the mike miller injury.

1.Wade out preseason- Thinks it will have a big affect tuesday night and effect team chemistry.

2.Eddie House- Had surgery this offsesason and hasnt played in the preseason yet. Since house is and will be a rotation player him not playing in the preseason will affect them.

3.Barkley at courtside- No Lie. He thinks barkley will be a distraction because of the comments he made about Lebrick in the offseason. Seriously, i cant make this stuff up.

They know were a threat and we dont fear them and they have very little to zero depth on the inside......Hurry up tuesday night......GO CELTICS!!!

Wow. I expected this but not until after we mauled them up on Tuesday - but before the game has even happened? LOL

Losing Wade early in pre-season has slowed them down. It has completely changed their game plan on both ends of the floor. The effect it's had on their team defense being the most important area.

As a result, the team isn't as far along as you'd expect them to be at this point in the year.

It won't effect their hopes for a title but they'll start off a little slower than they'd like.

If Barkley has such a big effect, I say teams should bring him in for each game versus the Heat.

That's funny about Barkley. He's an interesting character and entertaining but no, I don't see it. Wow!
I'm really excited about seeing LeBron play with Miami this year. I have a feeling the chemistry with the team is going to be a lot better for him there. I wish him the best. He's a great player.

This happens in life everyday.... one party lower expectations right from the get go....if it turns out this lower expectations are true, you look smart and feel protected and can easily say "see I know this would hurt us from performing" ..........................and if the lower expectations turn out not to true and you succeed by winning or acheiving your goal(because you were using bogus excuses to begin with) it then looks as if you have climbed a snow covered mountain in the nude without getting frostbite.

I hate Lebron

Why would they be scared of Barkley, he'll be their number one fan half through the season.  They should really be scared of Tommy.

Tommy's been eating strictly refs since '08

And Brad Miller.

Everytime we’re gonna face the Heat we’ll send Harangody to Maine and sign Barkley to a 10-Day contract.

Someone has to.

is the 15th spot on the roster still available?
give it to Charles!.

[mmbaby]

I'd much rather have Tommy.

[GreenEnvy]

Well we won't have Perkins or West, and Shaq and JO missed time in the preseason too.

They have a serious injury with Miller now, so who knows how that plays out over the long haul.


For Tuesday, it's unfortunate because I would like to see these teams as close to full strength as possible, but that's obviously not going to happen.

And seriously, if Chuck has ANYYYYY effect on them, we will not even have to worry about them challenging us (or the Magic) for the East crown, as they definitely are not close to being mentally strong enough to hang with the big dogs. I honestly doubt they even know he is there (besides the game being on TNT).

"If ya can't hang with the big dogs, then get off the porch", as my dear mother used to say.
