No way will this team win a title playing the type of defense they played in the first 41 games. I also don't get the obsession with Mason

Spo gotta keep LBJ and CB in the game as long as possible til its over unless they are in foul trouble. Their biggest rest should come at half time and timeouts - thats it.

I also don’t get the obsession with Mason

No reasonable person gets the obession with The Scrub, Shane Battier - so I guess its okay with Mason as well.

most points given up by the Heat in any half this season

 

[bksballer89]

Nice to see Ray Allen is back......would be nice for any of our perimeter players to stay in front of their man

 

[Paolo305613]

Of course a pass by the scrub goes for a turnover

 

[Paolo305613]

Hawks over the limit with 657 to go in the quarter - the mystery is if the Heat will take advantage of it

 

[Paolo305613]

every heat foul tonight has been what you call a frustration foul - either frustrated about not getting a cal or a defensive lapse. Mental toughness continues to be a problem for this group

 

[bksballer89]

I don't get why Lewis get more minutes than Beasley

 

[bksballer89]

The amount of wide open 3's we've giving up tonight is a joke

 

[Paolo305613]

The amount of wide open 3’s we are giving up is a joke but not a surprise.

 

[Paolo305613]

Btw, your asking to lose the game if in a close game where your struggling to defend you have LBJ sitting on the bench to start the 4th. He should be out there from start to finish of the 4th

 

[Paolo305613]

As for why less Beasley lately… It is part of the plan to try to keep him humble and hungry - Addo to that the recent play of UD and Rashard.

 

[Paolo305613]

333 left in the game coach fiorentino says “ this is usually when the heat are at their best, at crunch time” then CB bites on the fake and gives up an and-1… The jinx is one.

 

[bksballer89]

How the fuck do you leave Korver wide open

 

[Paolo305613]

This is one of those games where the Heat gave fans false hope - Meaning, while the final score may be close it doesnt show that the heat were out played and were lucky to still be in this game at this point… they lost it early.

 

[Paolo305613]

How the fuck do you leave Korver wide open

Only the Heat would. The same Heat team making Antic look like a HOF

 

[Paolo305613]

Of course LBJ turns it over on a pass where he should have taken it inside instead and he looks at hte player as if its his fault.

 

[bksballer89]

Terrible road trip. 2-4 against all shitty eastern teams. I'm so pissed right now

This should have been a 4-2 or 5-1 trip at least. This team better get their act together quickly

 

[Paolo305613]

No surprise the Heat lose in a game where they played 4 vs 5 again as the Scrub was man-handled by multiple guys on both ends of the court.

This is nothing the Heat can fix in practice concerning their defense. This is an effort or a lack of effort problem. Guys just not trying. And when you are mismatched to start the game with a scrub like Shane , then your asking to lose.

In the last two games Spo took him out earlier in games and kept him out . .. he didnt do that this time and contributed to the loss.
