Game Thread: Miami Heat Month Of February Game Thread

[bksballer89]

16 points on 20 shots (35% shooting) in 26 minutes for Wade.

15 points on 10 shots (60% shooting) in 28 minutes for Tyler

30 points on 22 shots (54% shooting) in 22 minutes for Dragic

Point I'm trying to make is why the hell is Wade taking so many shots as a freaking bench player? I don't know what Spo or the front office told him when they acquired him back but they're clearly treating this guy like this is 2016 and he is the man again. What a joke

This team is so freaking bad

We have no superstars. Richardson and Johnson are inconsistent as is Hassan and then we have some real offensively challenged guys. Mediocre team with mediocre players and a coach that has not been able to get much more out of them.

I couldve called that Wade jumper just a very Heat way to lose this game.

The Heat didnt ride with Dragic and this is the consequence.

Continuing to want a washed up Wade to be the answer in those situations is just stupid

What are we now, 1-3 since his return?

Could not agree more with this post. I was all for bringing back Wade if we were going to treat him for what he is now which is simply a role/bench player. Forcing the ball to Wade late in games is ridiculous.

That last shot was so bad. Down 1 but let me settle for a contested jump shot just inside the 3 point line

Spolestra not managing this team well. Going to lose all of them. Wade still thinks he is the guy. Coach does not call plays for others and there you have it. Maybe we get another lotto pick.

Comical. Bam too preoccupied with the FBI investigation. Richardson was garbage in this one. Have now lost 8 of last 9. Barely in 8th. Miami Vice uniforms are bad luck. Not sure why Dragic did not get the last shot. Oh well, 7-10 seed....

Richardson was actually solid tonight. 14,7, & 5 on 50% shooting. Efficient night

But yeah these jerseys are bad luck for sure. We were 29-21 before these jerseys. 1-8 since

The next 8 games will break or make their season. Play 7 of their next 8 at home. They really need to aim for 6-2.

You have games against the Lakers, Griz, and Suns which should be 3 wins.....and find 3 more wins out of the other 5 games.

Go 6-2 and they're sitting 36-31 which isn't terrible.

We don't own our lottery pick. It is playoffs or bust for this group.

Only good news is Detroit didn't win.

Wade loves to settle for them jumpers

 

[Paolo305613]

Its no surprise the guy that thinks there is such a thing as a playoff 10th seed doesnt know the facts surronding our draft pick.

We know deep down inside he thought this Wade reunion would drastically improve our season.

Out of touch with reality

Until the next Heat NBA adventure. Hopefully the Heat do themselves a favor and not let another game come down to the wire

Yep. Ball should have been in Dragic hand as you previously stated

I think the problem with this team is having this same exact mentality. The idea that certain opponents are teams you can look ahead on and think of them as sure wins.

At some point all of us have to realize that nothing is for certain with this team. As I have said many times before, NO LEAD is safe FOR the Heat. They can blow a game at any time -- in every possible way.

They need to focus on themselves first and foremost before the opponent, their record/roster.

Nothing is going to get better for this team until they can stop under-estimating each and every team they face.

On a different note, hopefully it doesnt come down to the wire tonight -- and if it does -- hopefully Wade isnt even on the court. He is not the answer to anything at this point in his career except maybe helping with attendance.

People want to talk about who falls out of the rotation when guys return from injury? Hands down it should be Wade. He is a garbage time player at this point in his career.

 

[bksballer89]

Will still find a way to lose I bet

 

[bksballer89]

Shouldn't be a bad month as long as we stay healthy. Very short month in terms of games played due to the week long AS break.

Only 10 games (5 road and 5 home) in February. Give me 6-4 and I'm ok with that. Anything better than that should be considered a great month.

6-4 would leave us at 35-26 heading into the final full month of the regular season. I'm sure all of us would take that.

Boy was I wrong on this. Just hoping we win the the next 2 and enter March at 32-29. What a shitty month

 

[Paolo305613]

Out for the Grizzles tonight:Tyreke Evans, Mike Conley, Chandler Parsons and Wayne Selden Jr.

For the Heat K.O. upgraded to questionable, but we know its best to wait until the last second to see who exactly will be available/and return from injury for the Heat before getting our hopes up.

Out will be the same guys that already have been out

 

[Paolo305613]

See what I mean, Per Ira - Spo says that Olynyk will not play tonight despite being upgraded earlier today.

And no changes to the lineup

 

[bksballer89]

 

[Paolo305613]

Ellington will come around.

We know what we will get or not get out of Winslow offensively

And Wade simply doesnt need to shoot

 

[Paolo305613]

+3 after 1 for Heat - better starts for TJ , Winslow - and Ellington brought back the 3

 

[Paolo305613]

And just like that the Heat find themselves up 9

 

[Paolo305613]

3rd quarter explosion for Heat. Always great when the execute the half time game plan.

 

[Paolo305613]

After 3, its +22 for Heat
