Basket didn't count so forget that

Amare in and shows hold old he is.....bad sequence...Missed a Bunnie and then missed two rebounds and gave them easy second chance points. 4 point swing right there. Then he connects on a little shot and then another but then a couple of bad fouls.

At this point I rather see what this Stokes guy can do instead of playing Amare

Nice! G-Squared and Winslow

Wade looking really bad thus far in this one......poor defense, bad offense and little effort. Down 7 to the Bucks at home and may not get to 40 in the half. Johnson looks awful out there. The Bucks are a bad defensive team.

 

[Paolo305613]

Bad turnover there from TJ. No surprise our play takes a hit a bit again when he came back in

 

[bksballer89]

I have no idea how this team is going to win any games on the upcoming roadtrip with their top 2 pgs out of the lineup.

Its bad for two reasons. Because its not helping the team - and because it probably means he will start forcing the issue later when we really can't afford for him to do that

Well our offense been bad all year and it actually much worse when the 2 guys who put players in the right position are not playing

 

[Andresrenee]

Johnson does not need to play again in this one. Richardson is a better option. This stretch could be worse than we expected with the injuries and the way this team is playing.

 

[Andresrenee]

Dang...Wade with more turnovers than points. Thank goodness Bosh is playing ball or this one would be uglier.....I know we have injuries but we have Wade, Bosh, Hassan and Deng........

 

[Andresrenee]

They are shooting 48% and we are under 38%. Tomorrow could be really, really bad....the good news is that this half is over and we don't need to see Green shot another brick or Wade make another turnover or bad play. We could be under 500 after this road trip.

Easy to say given how he has struggled thus far tonight. But he HAD to play tonight given we are short-handed - But this should show the Heat that when Udrih an Dragic come back - they need to be the ones getting the minutes at PG. TJ can just go on the inactive list for the Heat and that will be a gain for the Heat.

TJ is better suited for garbage time and as a specialist when we need a spark off the bench - defense or shorthanded as we are now at the position. Giving him such a workload like the one he has to take on now, is asking for trouble for him. He isn't good enough.

Point guard is the most important position in basketball especially for a half court team like us. Beno and Goran are the only 2 who can get us organized in the halfcourt set.

Dragic was coming into his own and playing like Dragic this month then this happens. He was avg 15+ PPG on 53% from the field and 52% from 3. He is badly missed.

Due to our offensive system this will be a struggle. I can count the teams on one hand who this team can beat with this current roster without Beno or Goran. Milwaukee is not one of the teams.

One game at a time princess. Don't get your panties in a bunch over any one game.

You are probably right.....they might as well give Richardson burn because Johnson is a garbage time player like Paolo said. Oh well, hope we have some fight in the 2nd half. Sure could have used Mario now. We are playing a team that is 6-18 on the road and one of the worse teams in the Eastern conference.

 

[bksballer89]

To be fair to Milwaukee they're playing better lately. Actually has the 3rd best record out East over the last 10 games

It is what one sees coming.....this is a pretty important game to win especially with the Wizards tomorrow night on the road, followed by the Raptors, the Bulls, the Nets who beat us at home and then these same Bucks who actually play decent at home. Perhaps, the computers and "BCS" polls were right....LOL!!! We shall see.

 

[Paolo305613]

Just 2 points in 14 minutes for Wade and 3 turnovers but no one will ever suggest he shouldn't play because they will be butt hurt

If Dragic and Beno are out for this 5 game road trip he is dead on. If they return by Friday in Toronto, I think we can go 2-3 or 3-2 on the trip and wouldn't return below .500

This is one of the worse teams in basketball without their 2 PGs. They need to get rid of some of those useless players in the bench power rotation for perimeter help.
