No Lowry tonight for Raptors

Thats the attitude he should have. Not the attitude some have suggested, i.e. wanting to go elsewhere because he is not happy about his usage by the team. No room for that kind of player in this organization.

 

[Paolo305613]

Per Ira Winderman, No TJ tonight due to an injury he sustained at shootaround. Walton Jr back with team.

 

[Paolo305613]

Shoulder strain to be exact

Concerning due to the previous shoulder issues he had

Agreed. Its unfortunate that this stuff continues with our players. Even more so after an ok game for him. But I will spin it in a positive way in that it will be a chance for other guys to step in and step up.

Maybe the Heat need to make some adjustments to how they go about practice/shoot around to decrease chances of injury in those situations?

I'm just curious how this happened at shoot around.

You may have to wait and watch Spo post game press conference to find out their justification.

I often say how it seems this team doesnt work on certain things in practice and shoot around as they should - and instead seem to be putting work in on unnecessary things.

Maybe they also go at it in practice/shoot around a little harder than necessary and these injuries happen as well as fatigue kicking in at game-time. I dont know.

At this point it seems injuries are just something we again have to get used to

Jones Jr starting for TJ

 

[Paolo305613]

Good time to take out Hassan - doing well but still too many of those weak as floaters and jumpers from him - needs to attack more

 

[Paolo305613]

+1 after 1 for Heat

 

[Paolo305613]

Terrible shot from Richardson one end and then one of his classic silly fouls on the other - might be a back down to earth game for him tonight

 

[Paolo305613]

Jones Jr with the type of athletic play the Heat simply greatly lack this season

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat making this run without Hassan who is about to re-enter

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat +10 at the half. Looks like the came ready to play... so far

 

[Paolo305613]

And now the lead is down to 3 as Richardson continues to be Richardson

 

[Paolo305613]

JJ was the aggressor there - the wannabe tough MMA tough guy

 

[bksballer89]

Unacceptable especially knowing the Heat injury situation. That was just stupid. Can't put yourself in that position.

 

[Paolo305613]

Both get ejected - something tells me JJ being gone will help the heat... for tonight at least

 

[bksballer89]

He probably get suspended tomorrow as well. Just incredibly dumb
