Game Thread: Miami Heat Month Of February Game Thread

Heat -2 at the half after...you guessed it... giving up another buzzer beating 3. Second time in recent memory the Heat give up such buckets in consecutive quarters.

Its been a game of runs but also one with little room for error - one mistake could be lethal in this close game.

My god how many last seconds shot have we allowed at the end of quarters over the last two weeks?

Even though this shot was pure luck. The others were usually do to shit defense

 

[Paolo305613]

3pt defense not great for Heat tonight

 

[Paolo305613]

Its no longer a back and forth game at the moment but this is how it goes for the Heat when they dont get their act together quick enough in such games

 

[Paolo305613]

Wade and his hand full of turnovers forcing the issue are back at it

 

[Paolo305613]

-17 after 3 -- this one is over

Heat should just get ready for tomorrow night. Theyve simply lost their way in this one

Heat tried to make it interesting late but obviously not good enough when you dig the kind of whole the Heat dug for themselves in the third

Yep that end of quarter absolutely killed us. Allowing a 21-4 run after the game was tied was huge.

Disappointing. Hopefully we win tomorrow. Can't wait for Kelly to come back

This Tyler Johnson contract is going to look really really bad in years 3 and 4 if this is the player we're getting. Now if we get the TJ from last year then I'm ok with that contract. At this point I prefer Winslow in the lineup over him.

Hoping when Kelly returns, we go with a starting 5 of Dragic, Richardson, Winslow, Kelly, and Whiteside

Comfortably in 8th now. Good to have Wade back even if a shell of himself. 1-1 since Wade and the Cavaliers on fire since they made their trade. Wonder if we hold the Pistons off and make the playoffs.

The story of the season. Inconsistent play and an awful 3rd quarter and here we are. Need to win tomorrow night.

I know the schedule gets easier but we are 3-7 in our last 10 and our overall minus puts us as 10th best team in conference.

 

[Paolo305613]

Joel Embiid questionable for tonight. Would sure help our chances if he didnt play

 

[Paolo305613]

10th seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs baby!

 

[Paolo305613]

Same starters

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat +9 after 1 after giving up another buzzer beater and Wade keeps up the silly turnovers

 

[Paolo305613]

Great and impressive hustle so far for the Heat on the second night of a back to back - after playing in a game they made a very late surge in that also took a lot of effort.

Win or lose this game, the break is going to do some great things and make them better in the final stretch of season

 

[Paolo305613]

62-39 at the half for the Heat and finally dont give up a buzzer beater. Great bounce back so far for Heat

 

[Paolo305613]

Luke Babbitt sighting!

 

[Paolo305613]

After 3 its only +8 now and we might have ourselves a game now -- unfortunately

on a good note, this is a different JJ than usual and thats a good thing - he is attacking relentless like he hasnt in a heat uniform ever before

 

[Andresrenee]

Heat lose the 3rd quarter again. Great halftime adjustments by the 76ers and not so great by the Heat. -15 in the turd quarter. Can Spolestra find the right rotation to win this one?

 

[Andresrenee]

Sad to see Wade struggle so much. Are we about to collapse and blow a 23 point halftime lead? Who will step up?!
