Running Low on Heat

The Miami Heat aren’t just pathetic.  They’re hysterical.

“We’re working on a pick, I guess.  We’ll see what we can get for it.”  That’s Ricky Davis, Mr. No-I-In-Team.  That’s after the Heat’s most recent loss, a relatively close affair, 96-91 to the Memphis Grizzlies. 

Listen, some team each year has to bite the big one.  Some team has to have the worst record, some team has to be the laughing stock of the NBA.  But, for a team that started the season with Shaquille O’Neal and Dwyane Wade, and finishes with Shawn Marion, this is just ridiculous.

The Heat are the worst team in the NBA record wise (14-65), the worst scoring team (91.5 ppg), the worst rebounding team (37.7), and they make the fewest FGs per game (34.3).  Numbers don’t always tell the true story, but here, they’re screaming a clear message:  THIS TEAM STINKS!

Let’s take a look, if you will, at the clowns the Heat run out on a daily basis.

Ricky Davis-Chris Quinn-Mark Blount-Kasib Powell (who?)-Stephon Lasme-Daquan Cook-Earl Barron-Joel Anthony-Blake Ahearn (who, part 2?)-Jason Williams.

Besides Davis, Williams, and Cook, the uniting factor between all of the Heat players beyond the fact that they don’t belong in the NBA is that none of them were drafted in the 1st Round.  In fact, only Blount and Lasme were even drafted at all.

What the Heat are doing, and granted, injuries have forced their hands, is purely laughable.  The team they run out, night in, night out, can’t win games in the NBA, the NBDL, and would struggle to do so in college.  Why?  These guys weren’t even good in the NCAA.  Lasme was a good A-10 player, Chris Quinn could shoot 3’s.  If you didn’t know any better, you might think the Heat were in a lockout year. 

 The Michael Beasley/Derrick Rose contest has been going on for quite some time now, but at least the Heat can know for certain that they’ll have at least a 25% chance of getting that top pick.  A chance they should be familiar with, it’s just slightly better than their winning percentage.
