Green not playing smart tonight and looking frustrated

 

[Andresrenee]

Good news guys. Our defense has gotten better and they are only shooting 58 percent. Green showing why no one wanted him.

 

[Andresrenee]

Thank goodness for Hassan in this one or we could be down 30

 

[Andresrenee]

Johnson with the dumb foul, Bosh playing hero ball, the Nuggets with 60 at half and Heat down 16. Way to go coach!

 

[Andresrenee]

Wow. Five second call after timeout. Spokestra losing his touch on one of the few things he generally excels at.....

 

[Paolo305613]

Down 16 at the half - could be a lot worse. The difference in this game has been Denver shooting unconsciously and some bad luck for the Heat - several good shots just haven't fallen - things would be different otherwise

So, genius, tell us how this is Spo or the rest of the coaching staffs fault this time? Thats on TJ if he commits a dumb foul - According to someone else in here, I have no clue what hero ball is -- but I am quite sure thats not what CB is doing - he is actually playing within himself and the offense - When Wade is out, the Heat don't have to worry about suffering through the negatives of hero ball

Wow. Five second call after timeout. Spokestra losing his touch on one of the few things he generally excels at.....

Again, genius, tell us how this is the coaches fault? Spo wasn't the ball for 5+ seconds

The Heat are once again short-handed and the guys asked to step up in place of those guys are just not responding - you can't blame coaches for that - the Heat simply have to make the best out of what they have available to them - even if that means losing this game but at least doing so with a little more fight.

Well - let's see...the Heat have actually had pretty good luck this year with injuries. Their bad luck could be the hand dealt in terms of coaching. When a team comes off a very poor performance, it is on the coach To have them focused and ready to play. Has not happened. He has gotten a dumb technical, he called a play that was obviously not there in five seconds and he is the one mixing and matching a lineup that has only remotely played well with Hassan in here. A guy he did not start last night even after half time. Should I go on?

Pacers, Hornets, and Bulls (1-4 in their last 5) all lose tonight. Atlanta in OT with Milwaukee

Thanks for the update. This feels like last year near the end of the year where we kept losing and the teams fighting for the 8th seed also kept losing. LOL

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat with a sign of fight to get back in it early in the third quarter after the players are finally responding to those great adjustments by the coaching staff -- but they need to stop fouling because that kills all momentum

 

[Andresrenee]

Bosh waking up...Green still lost but still down double digits

 

[bksballer89]

Looking like ATL will lose as well. Down 7 with 27 seconds to go

 

[Paolo305613]

Deficit back to 13 --- as soon as the Heat stop fouling - they will be able to sustain some runs to make this a game going into the 4th

Well done indeed!!! We have picked up 3 points in 6 minutes!!! At this rate, we should overtake them in the 5th quarter! That Spolestra is good!!!

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat in bonus maybe can take advantage of it this time without Wade being out there to settle for jumpers

 

[Paolo305613]

Deficit down to 7 and Hassan is making jumpers now. Always great to see when the Heat players actually execute those great adjustments by this stellar coaching staff

 

[bksballer89]

Well we have a chance

 

[Paolo305613]

Into the 4th just a 2 point deficit

 

[Andresrenee]

Hi Paolo - Hassan still not trying? LOL.
