Game Thread: Miami Heat month of January Game Thread

[bksballer89]

Well, the Heat looked decent in this game in every quarter but the third. Guess they don’t have enough to be consistent with this lineup. It truly is amazing how poorly this team has played on the 3rd quarter on average during the last two seasons. At some point, there is something to it no?!

Look where we rank in 3rd quarter offense this year.....29th

24th last year

17th in 2015-16 which I can live with.

saved by the ref/foul call with 0.02 WOW WTF is this shit? Are the Heat going to survive a game I thought they were dead in?

 

[bksballer89]

What a sequence after a great play from the great Spo out of a timeout. Redemption for JJ? Again, just for now

Been our 2nd best player

Advanced stats/analytics? no thanks... those are BS stat categories. I stick with the traditional... like its meant to be

Clear foul. Dwight Howard is an idiot.

That annoying trend continues... Heat win a game it seemed they had no business winning after losing a game they had no business losing.

With HW on the bench...

Wow. Nicely done. Glad they did not give up on themselves like SOMEONE on this board gave up on them!!!LOL

Well, yes he is -- but this isnt breaking news, is it?

Exactly what I was thinking. I think I will just stop watching this team in the Turd quarter.

Great game for The Man With The Golden Arm for the banged up Goran

 

[Paolo305613]

Now for a tough one vs Houston

Now for a tough one vs Houston

I'm expecting an L so hopefully they surprise me.

After that we don't play until Thursday so hopefully both TJ and Goran is available for Thursday against the Kings

 

[Paolo305613]

5 assist for Walton Jr... but... yeah

Briante Weber reaquired by the Skyforce as a returning player per Skyforce

Per the Heat, TJ and Goran ruled out for tonight

The legend of Derrick Jones Jr and Walton Jr lives another night!

I'm ok with that. This is probably an L with or without them so give those guys another 3 days off and hopefully they're all good to go on Thursday.

If we win then that's great. Just really hoping we're competitive

Too lazy to copy and paste at this point, but check out Shandel Richardson twitter for some quotes from former Heat, Gerald Green regarding the legend of Spo and the Heat.

As Ira noted, and as we know, a guy who didnt play much towards the end of his time here but seems to understand the dynamics behind it - as I recall it, one of the money guys who have come through this organization who didnt play much - some called for him to play a little more than he did and would suggest he seek another place to play because of it -- that seems to be a thing in here.

Anyway, Go Heat. Maybe tonight they pull off another game they have no business winning according to most

 

[Paolo305613]

Hassan continuing the recent trend of starting off well - the problem is how he comes back from his first stint of rest where he gets off the rails a bit be it with fouls or his approach on offense that affects his PT or lack off at end of games

 

[Paolo305613]

After 1, its the Heat +8

 

[Paolo305613]

James Johnson re-enters game, turnovers happen because he cant pass for shit and now our lead is down to 3

cant have those mistakes against this team
