January is a month filled with a lot of road games which is actually a good thing for our Heat based on our road record.

January is also a month that could see the Heat as healthy as they been all year long. Not only should Johnson and Winslow return ASAP but we are expected to get Waiters and McGruder back sometime this month as well

Now on to the schedule.

We start off the month with home games vs Detroit, New York, and Utah. If we have at least JJ and Winslow back then there is no reason to lose any of those games but I'll take 2-1.

After that we play 7 of 8 on the road but considering how well we have played on the road, I'm perfectly fine if we go 4-4 or 5-3 in that stretch.

Wrap up the month with 2 home games in a row (Kings & Hornets) followed by 2 road games (Mavericks & Cavs)

It's not a terrible schedule. Just a shit load of road games. The only "great" teams we play are the Raptors, Rockets, and Cavs. Those are the only teams way above our level.

We have 2 games against the Bucks who most would say are currently slightly better than us.

All the other games come against teams either on our level or below.

Good posts. Time to get healthy and start putting wins together. Let’s see how we play with all the pieces. It will take time to gel.

Way to go on starting the thread for the month, bks.

I always tend to take a minute to turn the calendar.

But if this is the month it all crumbles for the Heat, its on YOU!

I kid

So, as of now, the Heat are the 7th seed on a night off. Good times

Whiteside sluggish on both ends and getting outplayed early on by starting C

Slow start overall at HOME for the Heat

none of these things shock me.

Lets see if Heat can get right after this timeout

One of those classic 3's the Heat seem to always give up at end of a quarter - looked to be in the face of Goran but due to a lapse on defense from Richardson

Heat +4 at the half and wouldve have had better momentum were it not for that buzzer beater

Dumb technical for Spo for touching ball before it went out of bounds - Spo famous for his unnecessary and untimely techs - hope it doesnt come back to hurt us in a close one
