    Who Needs LeBron? ~ A Miami Heat MyLeague Series (NBA2k15/PS4)


    A Miami Heat Franchise

    2014-2015 Entry: Pshhh... LeBron leaves, so what? You got Dwyane Wade who'll turn back the clock like it's 2006 and Chris Bosh is ready to unleash his final form of his Toronto-self with an actual team around him. Luol Deng isn't LeBron, but with his defensive prowess and heart and soul mentality, the Heat won't crumble at the SF spot. Josh McRoberts, Danny Granger, Shannon Brown, and more will be able to in-still some freshness into the Miami lineup. Plus, how can you forget the youth of the Heat? PG Shabazz Napier and SF James Ennis will attempt to prove themselves in front of the eyes of coach Erik Spoelstra. With Pat Riley looking for revenge on the man that brought him his last 2 rings, you can bet this Heat team is as motivated as it's ever been.

          So those are my start up settings! Keep in mind a lot if frequent to change as I see fit. Superstar should be difficult while not being impossible like Hall of Fame (for me at least). The sliders are VERY subject to change depending on what I see, the reason I have chemistry turned down is I hated it in past iterations, I'll see how it does on a small scale here and depend if it needs changing. Regardless, those are my settings!

            Re: Who Needs LeBron? ~ A Miami Heat MyLeague Series (NBA2k15/PS4)


            Establishing the Roster

            In order to know what you need to fix and re-build, you gotta know where you stand in the first place. Pat Riley is deeply committed to getting Wade his 4th ring and capping off a tremendous run towards the end of his professional career as a coach and executive. What better way to do it then losing the best player in the NBA and coming back and winning another championship? Thus, Riley won't be pulling any punches for the roster. Of course there are untoucables and Wade/Bosh are his guys, but everything else? Very subject to change.

            Point Guards:
            Norris Cole (76): Cole can very possibly taking the starting point guard role away from Mario Chalmers. Of course Mario has been the #1 at the 1 for awhile now, but Cole is coming on strong. Of course now his new agent is Rich Paul, who just so happened to be the man who turned LeBron away from Miami and back to Cleveland. Now, what's Cole's status on the team? He's due to be a free agent next season, so don't be utterly shocked if the Heat pulled something off.

            Mario Chalmers (75): He re-signed with the Heat after contemplating free agency for a bit. Chalmers has been with the Heat since their 2008-2009 campaign, and re-signed for another 2 seasons with Miami in the offseason. He struggled incredibly hard against the Spurs in the finals and throughout most of the playoffs. His loyalty re-signing with Miami means that Riley appreciates him, he's expected to still be a contributor on the team and how exactly would a Heat team look without Rio?

            Shabazz Napier (74): LeBron's favorite player after the draft... Napier is now without the man who wanted him drafted and the 23-year old will be the 3rd PG on the roster. Napier is raw, his size is questionably if it can pan-out in the NBA, and there are questions if he's just a mere college-star player and can't transition to the NBA. There are those doubts, but as a massive piece in the youth of the Heat he'll be given that chance. As a rookie he's with the team for quite a few years, he'll be around unless he blatantly busts.

            Shooting Guards:
            Dwyane Wade (86): The heart and soul of the Heat... Wade heard LeBron's decision when on the airplane back to Miami, and now he's with Bosh to pick up the pieces. Some say he's to old, his knees are too bad, he can't be a number 1 guy who played 75+ games anymore with 35+ minutes... well here's Wade chance to prove the doubters wrong. He's 32-years old and not nearly at his physical peak... but he's probably more motivated than ever. Of course, Wade is going to retire a member of Miami.

            Shannon Brown (68): With the Knicks last-season Brown was a solid defender but shot quite a few bricks. He's horrendous from 3-pt range which isn't exactly what you want in a SG, but he's athletic as they come. If Brown can just make sure he's not a liability, he'll be good. Of course in deals if Shannon Brown is involved, you can bet Riley won't hesitate to move him.

            Small Forwards:
            Luol Deng (79): LeBron for Deng trade... eh, people would call you insane. Deng signed a 2-year deal with a player option for next season at 10.15M in the offseason. He's going to be asked to at least bridge the gap between LeBron James and utter awfulness at the position. Of course Deng is well known for his tenacity and will mentor some of the young guys. He'll become a fan-favorite and he's untradable at the moment.

            Danny Granger (76): Being traded from the Pacers to the 76ers, cut by them and to the Los Angeles Clippers. Granger went to Miami with intentions to play with LeBron, but sadly those did not come to fruition. The 31-year old will be asked to play a prominent role off the bench as a scorer for Miami, there are plenty of doubts regarding that considering his injury concerns, but the Heat can manage him. He signed a 2-year deal with a player option next season, it's doubtful the Heat move Granger unless something lands in their lap.

            James Ennis (70): Ennis! A fan-favorite, Ennis spent last season in the Australian Basketball League and is now gonna try and transition himself back to the NBA. The 2nd rounder has a solid 3pt shot bit needs wotk just about everywhere else minus his athletics. He with Napier will be asked to try to instill some youth into the team, he may be asked though to take on a much bigger role his rookie year than he could have ever expected. He's not going to get traded by the Heat this year.

            Shawne Williams (67): Decent 3pt shooter, Williams is signed to a 1-year deal and can easily be traded.

            Reggie Williams (66): Another bench pice, he doesn't have a 3pt shot like Shawne but is better inside, very tradable in a deal though.

            Power Forwards:
            Josh McRoberts (74): A new commodity and prominent player the Heat signed in FA, McRoberts went from being expected bench star to now a starter. McRoberts provides tremendous range for the team with his shooting ability, but the question is if he can take a bigger role like he had with Charlotte last season. He's just 27-years old... McRoberts can prove himself quite a bit over this 4-year deal, he as well is VERY doubtful to be moved.

            Udonis Haslem (72): Mr. 305, the heart of Miami... Haslem my boy. He's not afraid to speak his mind and he'll take you down if you're messing with one of his boys. Haslem is 34-years old now and is getting towards the end of his career, but he wants just another ring. His 2-year deal may take him to the end of that but he may wanna linger some more, Haslem is a Heat lifer, no two doubts about it.

            Centers:
            Chris Bosh (84): He had the chance to be team up with James Harden and Dwight Howard in Houston and possibly become part of yet another dynasty. But instead, Bosh loved Miami so much he decided to stay and take his massive 5-year/118M deal. Bosh is gonna be here and slowly take over the role from Wade to the #1 guy after he decides to retire or declines that much. He's gonna be the face of the team, of course he's unmovable and we'll be able to se if he can turn back to block to his Toronto days.

            Chris Andersen (75): The put-back dunks, Birdman! Birdman! He's a fan favorite and you can't help but love him, the 36-year old re-signed with Miami over 2 seasons and appears like he'll finish his funky career here. He's massive to team chemistry, so he'll see it through.

            Justin Hamilton (69): He's on and off on the team. He can shoot the 3 but whatever, Hamilton can easily be moved or cut whenever.

            So that is establishing the Heat's roster! Lots of questions to be answered this season regarding them, will trades be made? You'll have to stay tuned.

              Heat sign Emeka Okafor

              The Heat made some moves right before the regular season began on October 29th, the Heat announced the signing of center Emeka Okafor. Okafor was rumored for awhile to possibly be joining and having interest in Miami early in the offseason. it seems that Okafor has recovered from the injury that kept him out for most of last season. The 32-year old shall hopefully provide a nice plug at the center spot for the Heat. It's also now possible for Miami to now run a semi-big lineup... Chalmers/Wade/Deng/Bosh/Okafor, it'll have to be seen how he transitions to the roster though.

              Okafor's contract is 1-year/2.70M. For a free agent right before the regular season begins that's not too shabby. It's likely Okafor wanted to skip preseason considering he's been there so many times over, it will be intriguing though to see how the Heat allocate the minutes now though.

              In order to make room for Okafor, the Heat cut C Justin Hamilton.

                Basic Heat Rotation

                With various new acquisitions in the summer and of course quite a few massive losses. The Heat now look to rebuild their rotation, this appears to be the rumored lineup with some possible variations that could arise throughout the season.

                Starters:
                PG: Norris Cole | 27 minutes
                SG: Dwyane Wade | 35 minutes
                SF: Luol Deng | 33 minutes
                PF: Josh McRoberts | 28 minutes
                C: Chris Bosh | 36 minutes

                Bench:
                6th: Mario Chalmers | 17 minutes
                7th: Chris Andersen | 15 minutes
                8th: Emeka Okafor | 13 minutes
                9th: James Ennis | 13 minutes
                10th: Shabazz Napier | 11 minutes
                11th: Danny Granger | 9 minutes
                12th: Udonis Haslem | 2 minutes
                13th: Shannon Brown | 1 minute

                Reserves:
                #1: Shawn Williams
                #2: Reggie Williams

                So that is the very basic Heat rotation. Of course against various matchups and injuries that it will be very subject to change, but overall that will be the basic gameplan. Not too many shockers in all honesty, essentially Cole took the #1 PG spot, Wade and Bosh will be asked to step it up while Deng will get much more of a break than what he got in Chicago with Thibs. After that on the bench you got Chalmers, Birdman, Okafor, Ennis, and Shabazz... a possible Okafor/Birdman duo could be quite solid. Granger, UD, and Shannon Brown of course rounding it out with the Williams' on the bench.

                  14-15 Heat Season Expectations

                  Disaster Expectation:
                  Record: 31-51
                  Playoffs: Missed
                  Explanation: A disaster situation for Miami would be catastrophic. After wanting to still compete the Heat lose 50+ games. With Wade still declining, Bosh being able to carry the load, Deng has more injury issues, and McRoberts flops in his new starting role... it truly would be a disaster season. Plus, Philadelphia would have their pick! The Heat SHOULDN'T be able to do this bad with the amount of talent they have, but go talk to the Dwight Howard Lakers about if talent and injuries can be a funky thing.

                  Negative Expectation:
                  Record: 40-42
                  Playoffs: #8 seed, 1st Round Exit (4-5 Games)
                  Explanation: The Heat with even a bad season may be able to slip into the playoffs with just how bad the East is. But who cares about being a 1 and done? If the Heat were to get beaten in 5 or 6 games even in the 1st round then no one will really care. It'll be evident LeBron is 3 rounds worth of wins... you need to build with Bosh and while that may have gone fine, if Wade doesn't help out it'll still be a poor season for Miami.

                  Expectation:
                  Record: 46-36
                  Playoffs: #5 seed, 2nd Round Exit (5-6 Games)
                  Explanation: This is the expectation for the 2014-2015 Miami Heat. Of course you're going to experience a slight fall-off after losing the best player in the NBA. But you have a winning record of 46-36 which is 8 worse than last season, but still. You're able to beat the #4 seed and then in the 2nd round you fall in 6 games to a tough team like the Bulls with Rose and Pau Gasol? It's possible, obviously Heat fans have to temper their expectations regarding the team now, but this would be a fare season with Wade playing well and nothing disastrous happening.

                  Positive Expectation:
                  Record: 50-32
                  Playoffs: #4 seed, 2nd Round Exit (7 Games)
                  Explanation: The Heat are able to comfortably deal with the 1st round with homecourt advantage, but in the 2nd round they face... yes you guessed it, the Cleveland Cavaliers who have the #1 seed. They fall in 7 games to them and LeBron advances to yet another Eastern Conference Finals. It'd be heart-breaking for Heat fans and the team, but only a 4 win drop-off and losing to the favorite in the East in 7 games would be NOTHING to be ashamed of.

                  Dream Expectation:
                  Record: 54-28
                  Playoffs: #3 seed, Conference Finals Exit (5-6 Games) OR beating Cavaliers in playoffs
                  Explanation: Wade proves he can carry back the torch, the Heat experience no win/loss drop-off in the regular season and advance to the Eastern Conference finals where they eventually lose to the top competitor whomever that may be. Anything after that would be gravy for the Heat and a possible 5th straight NBA Finals appearance would certainly be incredible. That's one scenario... the other would be beating the Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs. Whether it be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd round if the Heat could send LeBron, Love, and Kyrie packing it would 100% be a successful season, even if for whatever reason they beat them Round #1 and got obliterated in Round #2.

                  So those are the various expectations for the Heat, let's finally get on with game #1 of the year... vs the Washington Wizards.

                    Game Recap: The Heat were done just 6 points heading into the 4th Quarter, it was a tightly contested for the most part of the game, but in the 4th quarter the Heat just let the game slip away from them. Wade was insane the first 3 quarters but when he needed rest in the final quarter, the Heat simply couldn't get any offense going, that's when Paul Pierce attacked and the game was over.

                    Erik Spoelstra spoke after the game.

                    "We know it's game 1 and we're not going to overreact knowing it's game 1, but you're not gonna win in the league with that sort of defense. That goes for everyone on the team. Now we have to re-group for the game vs Philadelphia."

                    The Heat will head on the road for the first time this season to take on the Philadelphia 76ers.

                      Heat beatdown 76ers in Philly
                      Miami Heat at Philadelphia 76ers
                      Nov 1, 20141ST2ND3RD4THSCORE
                      Miami (0-1)29312930119
                      Philadelphia (0-2)2617192789
                      Miami Heat
                      Philadelphia 76ers


                      Game Recap: After a very disappointing loss to the Washington Wizards, the Heat bounced back and handed the 76ers a beatdown. A very large part of that would be Chris Bosh who contributed with a double double of 24/10. Wade also continued back to back good performances going 17/5/12 so not a shabby start to the season for Wade.

                      Overall, the team performed quite well with having many contributions by all factors. Shabazz Napier scored 12 points, Okafor had 8/8, it's the little things of the smaller players which is why Miami won so big.

                      For Philadelphia, it was an atrocious performance with the exception of one man. Michael Carter-Williams dropped 31 points along with 7 rebounds and 8 assists. You can call him a stat-padder if you'd like, but he was the only one who got anything going. Shooting 12-25, the best scorers after him were Jason Richardson with 17 points and Joel Embiid putting up 12/11. After that.. not much else.

                      So the Heat advance to 1-1 and get their first win of the season while the 76ers fall to 0-3 on the year.

                      Toronto Raptors
                      Miami Heat


                      Game Recap: A very entertaining game for the Heat fans in American Airlines Arena! The Heat were down 1 heading into the 4th quarter and that's when they turned it up. This was a performance where the Heat didn't shoot well from the field whatsoever putting up 30-78, but they got to the free throw line an insane amount of times going 32-47 there.

                      Points was, Luol Deng led the way putting up 19. Followed by him, Wade had 18/12, Bosh with 14/9, and McRoberts with 11/8. Even though the %'s didn't turn out how the Heat and Spoelstra would have liked, his clear emphasis in practice was defense. After giving up so many points to the Wizards he wanted to see that intensity, he's gotten it in back to back performances now.

                      For the Toronto Raptors, DeRozan put up 21 points but similar to the Heat the Raptors were poor shooting % wise but got free throws. Shooting 25-69, the Raptors went to the line 33 times converting on 27 of them.

                      Some bad news on the injury front is Chris Andersen twisted his knee in practice and missed the game, during the game Shabazz Napier suffered a small ankle injury that will leave him day-to-day as well.

                      The Heat advance to 2-1 on the season bouncing back from their opener loss to the Wizards, the Raptors fall to 1-2 on the year.

                        Just for future reference, when games have a full box score and are individually posted such as the Wizards game, I played those games. Whenever I do these summaries whether it be 2, 3, 5+ games they will have been simulated. Of course for playoff games I will play out every single one.

                          Game Recap: What a freaking game.. so many storylines in play. You had Chris Bosh visiting the team that he could have easily left Wade but instead opted to stay. What happened? Well.. the Rockets constantly felt like they had a 9 point lead, and they did.. until Wade striked. An utterly unbelievable performance by him, it was a tight game even in the final seconds.

                          Josh McRoberts was the #1 guy who struggled for the Heat, while for the Houston Rockets Dwight Howard fouled out of the game with 7 minutes to go in the 4th quarter. What the hell are you doing McHale? The Heat took advantage and they took home the victory in Miami. After losing Game #1, they've won 3 straight and sit at 3-1. Wade is certainly proving that anyone who thinks he's done is downright insane.

                          The Heat now prepare as the they have a game tomorrow vs the Charlotte Hornets on a back to back.

                            Ray Allen announces he'll return to Miami

                            The 39-year old shooting guard had been debating between signing with the Cleveland Cavaliers for just one last shot at another ring with the likes of LeBron James, Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving, etc.. but instead, the Miami resident rather decided to stay in the city and finish out his career in Florida.

                            The contract worth of the deal is 1-year/2M.

                            In order to make room for SG Ray Allen, the Heat cut Reggie Williams.

                              Game Recap: Simply dominant in every facet of the game. Wade continued his dominant performances this time putting up 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 9 assists along with 2 steals. Norris Cole had to be given props though as he was the surge of the day coming in with 20/6/6. Besides that, Ray Allen had his first game back after that loss to the San Antonio Spurs in Game #5, he dropped 7 points.

                              For the Hornets, just scoring 75 points isn't gonna cut it, and the Heat defense suffocated the Hornets and it was evident. The Bobcats leading scorer was Al Jefferson with 12 points, that's a no no. The Bobcats overall shot 29-77 from the field as well as an atrocious 5-23 from 3pt land... yea... those are reminders of Charlotte Bobcats days.

                              The Heat now have 2 days of rest as they prepare for a back to back against the Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks. The Twolves game at home and Mavs on the road.

                              Heat offense is on fire!

                              Game Recap: While defense has been the focus in every practice, the Miami Heat offense appears to just be on utter fire! Bosh and Wade led the way with 25 and 23 points, but everyone contributed their fair share. Ennis had 8, Napier 7, Okafor 7, Allen 4, Granger 3, it all adds up eventually. The Heat also shot 9-17 which was quite solid.

                              For the Minnesota Timberwolves, Mo Williams tried with 21 points of his own and there were multiple double digit scorers for the Twolves, but if you can't stop the other team from scoring and your best scorer is Mo Williams, what do ya think is gonna happen in all honesty?

                              The Heat are on a 5-game winning streak and face the Dallas Mavericks tomorrow night.
