If the Heat stay in attack mode tonight - should have no problem scoring in this game and winning. However, gotta remain weary of Harden.

 

[Paolo305613]

Too much Amare early inside for the Heat not working and leading to a rough start

 

[Paolo305613]

Now a run for the Heat

 

[Paolo305613]

7-0 run from HOU to start followed by a 15-0 run for Heat

tied at 31 after one. some sloppiness on defense for the Heat the only reason why this game is still tied. Offensively they are fine. And a good start in the homecoming for Winslow -- Correct the defense and we will be fine

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat in bonus

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat giving Harden and just about anyone on the Rockets that shoots far too much space on their shots even if they end up being jumpers - just not good enough defense.

Need to do something about Harden in the 2nd half

 

[Paolo305613]

Down 5 after that 3 from Harden from another planet - horrific defense again on that hot and this entire half.

The defense has to be better for the Heat to give themselves a chance.

Need to do something about Harden in the 2nd half

Playing defense on him would be a good first step. I rather the Heat push up on these guys when defending them rather than worrying about them blowing by them - Rockets have no fear of shooting jumpers/long range shots no matter what so just push up on them defensively and make it tough -- keep the effort on high in that regard and don't just ease up on them when they put up the shot. The defensive effort has to be on high for the entire possession and thats what the Heat are failing to do and why HOU is beating us with those tough shots.


We also have to keep the turnovers down - some bad turnovers and at too high a rate.

 

[Paolo305613]

Another easy shot for HOU to start the half

 

[Paolo305613]

This isn't the night for Wade to start settling for jumpers again - he has been doing fine without that recently

 

[Paolo305613]

a block and 3pt assist for Wade

 

[Paolo305613]

then we foul to kill it
