Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread for month of February

[Paolo305613]

Hassan need to really work on his moves and the art of re-posting. not getting the ball where he wants enough tonight but rather than regrouping for a better look for he and his team - he is just making the not-so-best of decisions

 

[Paolo305613]

Along with sloppiness on both ends, Heat again being victimized by a mixture of bogus foul fouls and actual fouls

 

[Paolo305613]

Spo doesn't seem to be trying to win this game so far - Went to the mass substitutions way too early again and doesn't seem interested in getting our main guys back in with the game going down the tubes already

 

[Paolo305613]

J-Rich back in form committing a silly, unnecessary foul

 

[Paolo305613]

After giving the Heat the lead - Goran gets a taste of own medicine fouling a 3pt shooter

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat down 1 at the half instead of at least up 1 thanks to more sloppiness on both ends towards end of that quarter. Will have to get right at the half to pull this off. Haven't earned it to this point

 

[Paolo305613]

McGruder and PG with a double tech - McGruder trying to be a tough guy earns a silly technical

 

[Paolo305613]

PG gets himself ejected - A huge break for the Heat. Time for them to take advantage of this and put it to bed now

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat have failed to take advantage of PG being ejected to this point and flirting with a loss

 

[Paolo305613]

Good play there by JJ after a series of bad ones with turnovers with him trying to be a play maker

 

[Paolo305613]

+ 4 into the 4th for the Heat and Hassan coming alive, too.. gotta finish

 

[Paolo305613]

JJ coming alive -he always plays better when he just shoots rather than tries to make passes

 

[Paolo305613]

Ellington 3 Heat up 10 potential dagger finally

 

[Paolo305613]

And now another injury... this time Willie Reed.. Heat basketball

 

[Paolo305613]

Doesn't look good for Reed leaving in a stretcher-wheelchair

 

[Paolo305613]

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat in bonus with 614 to go in the game - will help put this one away even more

 

[Paolo305613]

Dion Waiters from Broward for 3

 

[Paolo305613]

Good win for the Heat.

Lets see what the word is on Willie Reed

Paolo, I just posted this on the general board. Thoughts?

If I had to choose between giving a long term contract to either Waiters or James Johnson, I think I'm going with Waiters for the following reasons.

1) 5 years younger. Johnson is already 30.

2) Losing Waiters mean for the 2nd straight summer we would need to find a starting SG in free agency.

3) Much easier to replace Johnson than Waiters. As good as Johnson been, he's really just our 7th man. Tyler is our 6th man.
