Game Thread: Miami Heat month of December Game Thread

Well, this one may be done - up next is the Spurs then the Heat can bounce back

The more things change the more they stay the same. After a Richardson explosion during the last game, the team plays real well in the first half against a quality team only to have to go to halftime and make adjustments so we could be -22 in the third. We are who we are at this stage.

We should hopefully get back to 500 in a few games assuming we don’t trip up against the Nets and Grizzlies.

Ah, the troll decides to make an appearance as per usual in the latest Heat meltdown

Miss the Big 3 era yet? LOL. There is a reason I don’t post often anymore. Carry on with talking to yourself. You obviously don’t want to do anything but.

We were playing the Warriors without our most important player. Not sure exactly what outcome you expected. If you want to beat the Warriors, you need to play the style of basketball we did in the first meeting when we held them under 100. Going up and down with them will always end up as them embarrassing you.

Not sure if you watch the Warriors much but they literally DESTROY every single team they face in the 3rd. They're the best 3rd quarter team in the league

Was expecting an L. Don’t see much of the Warriors but I guess the outcome was coming if they are the best 3rd quarter and team and we have our challenges. Again, this team is where I expected, in the 7 to 10 range in the East. Hopefully, they can play with the same consistency and effort and exceed my expectations but doubtful.

Couldnt care less about that big 3. The new big 3 is Goran, Waiters and Hassan when he is healthy

And you dont post here because your a bandwagoner and a troll -- thats just the truth.

I enjoy interacting with the few non trolls that do still participate on the board

No Kyle Anderson along with Kawhi for Spurs tonight.

 

[Paolo305613]

K.O. in starting lineup which is good -- also JJ which I dont quite agree with since he has been too inconsistent on both ends - though better of late. Bam to the bench as well as Winslow - thats where I disagree - for as much as he has improved of late - Richardson needed to be the one to go on bench.

Lets see how this move works out for the Heat to start games - but also how it affects our bench production

 

[Paolo305613]

+8 after 1 for Heat

 

[Paolo305613]

+1 at the half

The heat will have to clean things up on defense if they want to maintain any lead in this game.

The defense simply has been crap

 

[Paolo305613]

4 fouls for JJ and his shaky defense is why you cant start him

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat defense continues to be shit and they continue to be unable to defend without fouling and ruining any momentum they try to build

 

[Paolo305613]

Winslow doesnt need to be attempting 3s those are wasted possessions

 

[Paolo305613]

-4 after 3 for the Heat after giving up a final seconds 3 because they simply cant defend

Lead could grow to 14 within minutes of the 4th if they dont get their shit right

 

[Paolo305613]

And just like that the deficit is now 9 -- so it begins

 

[Paolo305613]

-10 now thats one is just about over

 

[Paolo305613]

And off goes Spo with these meaningless timeout he is getting very little out of with the game already decided

 

[Paolo305613]

Well, at least now the Heat will have a few games to bounce back in vs Brooklyn and Memphis

 

[Paolo305613]

A late run for the Heat but it will probably be ended after this timeout with a dagger run from Spurs
