Miami Heat Game Thread for March

[Andresrenee]

This is going to be an 0-3 roadtrip if they lose this one. This team is not good enough to think they can just play down to their opponent and still win.

They need to wake up fast. Depending on the result of the game tonight they're either going to head to bed in 3rd place or in 5th/6th

I still like our chances against a poor team down the stretch but they better get it in gear the rest of the way.

Too many turnovers and too many offensive rebounds for the bad guys. Need to get it together.

Down to 2. Hopefully they win but this game serves as a wake up call so they don't sleep walk on Friday night. Sacramento is a much better team than the Lakers (which isn't saying much) and will run us out of the building if we play like this

Well, we have lost the Nets at home already so this one would be up there as on the road. A typical poor 3rd quarter on the road. Winslow and Richardson sounded too cocky and paid for it. A combined 1-12. The lineups we stayed with in this one cost us, but such is life and a learning experience. Seems like a completely wasted opportunity if we lose but there is still time and perhaps Wade, Deng, Dragic and Whiteside can save this one down the stretch. The bad news is that Kobe is not playing. Johnson can't play against the young guns.

Lakers are much worse than the Nets. Much better talent on the Nets team who defeated us in December

Clarkson missed 2 fts and we allow the offensive rebound. Unacceptable

 

[bksballer89]

The amount of careless/stupid turnovers by this team tonight is absurd

Wade turning into a turnover machine and complainer at the wrong time

 

[bksballer89]

This team is not winning this game. I can't remember when this team played this poorly

 

[Paolo305613]

Bad decision from Johnson on that 3. And Hibbert has made Hassan his bitch and Hassan simply aint doing shit about it other than backing down from the challenge with his frustration

You've missed a lot of the season then

 

[bksballer89]

19 offensive rebounds allowed, 17 turnovers, and 10 missed fts.

This is why were about to lose to a shitty basketball team.

 

[Andresrenee]

The young kids were too arrogant and cocky and got totally outplayed by the Lakers young guns. Hibbert essentially neutralized Whiteside and Spolestra stuck with Winslow and Richardson too long and kept Dragis on the bench during the wrong times and it snow balled. Now, we have our veteran line up in with 3 minutes left and down 3.

They played bad previously but it was rarely if ever due to a lack of effort which has been the issue tonight

We deserve to lose....down 5 now. Wow....just wow.

 

[Andresrenee]

They are awful....LOL.

 

[bksballer89]

Nice perimeter defense by Hassan

 

[Paolo305613]

Effort from Hassan there

 

[bksballer89]

They're really going to waste time reviewing this? Clearly was still in his hand

 

[Paolo305613]

loses due to a lack of effort have happened quite a bit for the Heat some have just chosen to make other excuses.

 

[Paolo305613]

Could come down to a last shot for Heat. not ideal situation for us
