Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread- April

Another turnover by Diva and doesnt get back on defense and a slow 3rd quarter start - but not for lack of effort - they are taking good shots but they arent falling - good shots by everyone but Diva, of course

 

[Andresrenee]

Team looks lethargic to start the 3rd. Agree on Wade not playing well right now. Too much Deng right now. Need to work the ball inside and outside. Could we blow a 19 point halftime lead?

 

[Andresrenee]

Wow...just wow...spolestra needs energy off the bench. Wade shooring 25 percent and looks lehargic...

 

[Paolo305613]

It wouldnt be Heat basketball if they didnt make a game they have well in-hand unnecessarily intersting - and thats what we have. We are settling again

 

[Andresrenee]

Great adjustments by Spolestra at the half. Getting totally outcoached and our players outclassed. Could be another epic collapse like Philly, the Bucks and Pistons. Seems like Wade just wants to get a top 10 pick and end the season. Either that or the Bulls are just shutting him down.

 

[Paolo305613]

Good move by Spo to take out Diva - should make a run now

 

[Andresrenee]

Wade, Chalmers, Dragic and Deng playing poorly.

Totally agree. Seems really off tonight.

 

[Paolo305613]

He shuts himself down regardless of what the team may need from him - The Heat should be fine and able to easily win this one as long as he is kept out of the game

 

[Paolo305613]

Wade, Chalmers, Dragic and Deng playing poorly.

Then Dragic hits a 3 , of course

 

[Paolo305613]

When Diva retires it will be a great day - we will no longer see the Heat settle for shots the way they do currently

 

[Andresrenee]

25-6 3rd quarter for Bulls......Wade shooting under 25%. More effort from the Bulls. That is terrible.

 

[Paolo305613]

Once again wondering what our elimination number is - we have all seen Diva Wade settle for enough shots and ruin games for us this season - it doesnt need to go any further

 

[Andresrenee]

Unbelievable...we absolutely suck...We don't deserve to make the playoffs. How embarrassin to have an 31-8 quarter at home!!!! This coach can't call an easy set to get an easy bucket during big runs...wow.

 

[Paolo305613]

Diva is 12 minutes away from hurting his team in yet another game in ways only he knows how - if he could announce his retirement after tonight would be just great

 

[Andresrenee]

33-8 quarter at HOME!!! Spolestra can't stop a run to save his life. No offensive play call or two to get an easy bucket. Down 6 going into the 4th with Wade only player willing to shoot or only player the Bulls are letting shoot and he is 3 for 15 on a nationally telivised critical game.

 

[Andresrenee]

We are about to see what this team has. Only hope I see is one of the youngsters or Dragic getting hot and some real defense. Wonder what they can muster up here in the 4th. Chicago on 2nd night of back to back but we probably lose by 20.

 

[Paolo305613]

This coach can't call an easy set to get an easy bucket during big runs...wow.

The problem is execution. This team execute an easy set - but nothing is easy with a diva playing hero ball and settling for shots

its not the coaches job to stop a run - its on the players on the court - funny you were quiet as usual when they were winning - you fail to give this team and coaching staff credit when its going right but you jump on it when it goes bad.

This performance is nothing to get down about. Its great. It brings us closer to the end of the season and the end of Diva’s career - thats almost as good a reason to have a parade as is winning a championship

 

[Andresrenee]

Down 12 now...wow. Wade needs to be taken out permanently. Between this game, the Pistons game, the 76ers game and the Bucks game you can see that this team just has no mental toughness and Lebron carried them his last year. They don't even appear to be trying.

This is an embarrassing showing on national TV. Wade 3 for 16 with 4 turnovers is costing the team. Got a feeling he wants a top ten pick.
