Nice energy and production from the bench in the 1st quarter

James Johnson gets in foul trouble frequently

Heat down 3 mostly due to some easy shots missed and some sloppiness on defense early on. They went through a cold stretch early-mid second where they could've had more of a cushion by now.

But as I said after 1, a few things to correct and they will get themselves going

One of the reasons I prefer him off bench. Lots of opening night jitters on both ends - Hopefully the Heat get it going after the break

 

[Paolo305613]

I always enjoy pointing out our FT attempt ratio to our 3pt attempt ration which is even at the half. Might be the first time in a while, as I won't say ever, that I have seen us even in those two categories

Terrible start to the half for Heat - could turn into a long night if not fixed after this time out

 

[Paolo305613]

The Heat have had enough cold stretches in this game - time for them to get on a run

 

[Paolo305613]

That was a very soft shot from TJ

 

[Paolo305613]

The Magic have simply been more aggressive and tougher than the Heat for the first 3 quarters - a mix of bad calls, of course. The Heat will have to find their way to pull this off

-17 now this one could be over now. Never fun to start season on losing note

Yep. Shitty defensive effort tonight.

Yep. Shitty defensive effort tonight.

They just haven't matched ORL's intensity on either end long enough

Nice 3 for Hassan but I hope he never tries one again

 

[bksballer89]

James Johnson been terrible

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat trying to make this interesting

 

[Paolo305613]

Signs of life... for now

 

[Paolo305613]

Now its over... This is what happens when you get down big - the run you make late might just not be enough

 

[Paolo305613]

Game clinching signature terrible foul from Richardson

 

[Paolo305613]

Oh well - must bounce back on saturday night

 

[bksballer89]

Not enough from the backcourt and Tyler. Ellington struggles from preseason continued.

Hassan was dominate while Olynk, J-Rich, and Winslow was solid. JJ was good when he was out there but must do a better job of staying out of foul trouble.

Team defense was ass
