Miami in a dog fight with the RW-less Wiz. yikes.

Not a good team this year. Dragic not the player he was last year and picking up Harkless and losing Crowder & Jones Jr now means they don't have a PF

ive been watching Yellowstone- just finished season 3--- really really good. one of my new favorite shows...not that its new- i just watched it though.

This team is horrible. Let's see if Spoelstra remove his head from his ass and try something different with the rotation on Friday.

Change the starting lineup and get Nunn and another player or 2 in the rotation

starting that easy stretch 1-2 and losing to the Wiz and Hornets isnt a good look

I wonder if they will make a move.

Down 3 with 5 seconds left and you don't have Duncan Robinson on the court? That's just bad coaching.

Players need to get better but this coaching been just as bad. Coaching could and should have won these last 2 games

There's no reason not to. The only players that should be untouchable are Bam and Jimmy.

Heat do not even have their first rounder if i am not mistaken- think it goes to OKC.

they have to be thrilled right now at least.

looking at the bottom of the east playoff picture its hard for me to believe Miami wont make the playoffs- but they look pretty piss poor right now.

thats pretty inexcusable to have one of the very best 3 pt shooters and floor spreaders not in the game.

 

[bksballer89]

17 points in the 3rd
18 points in the 4th

AGAINST the 30th ranked team in opposing PPG

I mean the east is pretty bad so yeah hard to see them not ending up top 8 but they're missing a huge opportunity right now. When you get off to a start like this, it gets late really early in the season

Heat are awful right now.
Probably came into the season thinking they were better then they were.
Same coach that was in the Finals with them last season.
Players on the court are responsible for what happened in that 2nd half.

 

[bksballer89]

7th place in the East with 12 losses. Only 2 losses ahead of Miami but that means very little if you can't put together a stretch of winning basketball.

Against Charlotte, he had no plan for Monk who destroyed them in the 1st half. Came out in the 2nd half with no adjustments. Up 3 late in that game and no effort was made to deny him the ball. Then the game gets to OT and Charlotte makes it obvious what the plan was. Whoever Herro was guarding would be involved in a screen because they knew Miami wasn't smart enough to make the simple adjustment and stopped switching. As for tonight, the team was obviously struggling big time on offense and these guys with the exception of Jimmy and Bam just kept tossing up 3's. There needed to be an emphasis on attacking the basket

And finally there is the rotation issue. There isn't one good reason why Nunn isn't playing. In the month of January he avg 14 points on nearly 50% shooting. His per 36 numbers last month was very similar to his per 36 numbers last year prior to the bubble when he finished top 3 in ROY but you can't find 10-15 minutes for this guy? Ridiculous

Kelly Oubre is available

The Sixers are now 12-0 with their starting 5 playing.

That's really funny the team is better with all three out than with all 3 together

Second unit been good. That doesn't mean they should start

Agreed. But just highlights how bad Oubre has been

 

[CitySushi]

Both positive units are ones where Oubre is off and both negative are when he’s on.

But Curry and Draymond on together without Oubre is not at all shocking
