A fighting chance is all you can ask for - A fighting chance is what we got! Lets go Heat!

 

[Paolo305613]

I will hold on to hope that some of our other guys will be available if necessary given they weren't one of the 2/3 designated to be on the inactive list -- At least in the case of Udrih who seemed closest to returning

 

[Paolo305613]

Nice P and R there with Wade and STAT

 

[Paolo305613]

An early time out already trailing 9-2 CB got found on his shot and didn't get the call turned into a fast break and points on the other end to set the tone for this start from TOR

 

[Paolo305613]

Josh Richardson in game so there go my hopes Udrih could play tonight

 

[Paolo305613]

TJ is an idiot. Cant wait for the rest to get healthy so we don't have to see anymore TJ and Richardson. 3pt shots killing us on both ends - we need to take better care of the ball and better shots - 3pt shootout not our thing

 

[Paolo305613]

Down 11 after instead of 13 thanks to one of those vintage UD jumpers . Once again turnovers are really the only difference in the game

 

[Paolo305613]

 

[Paolo305613]

As E-Reid just said, Heat trailing, but battling and thats not such a good thing really -- they really need to find their way back in this one ASAP otherwise they will lose the battle quicker and in terrible fashion

 

[Paolo305613]

We get back in this game with UD on the court - not surprised. Producing beyond the usual heart and hustle - doesn't surprise me either

 

[Paolo305613]

To the surprise of many in here I am sure

 

[Paolo305613]

Down 16 after 1-half turnovers and while TOR has hit some tough shots -- our defense hasn't been up to par either. Got it to single digits at one point but just not enough when the defense isn't that great and the opposing team dominates from 3. Its gotta be all Wade and Bosh early and often early in the third to cut the lead and keep this respectable

 

[Paolo305613]

Gerald Green is becoming the current Heat version of Scrub Battier -- only taking 3's even if he is missing them at an alarming rate and making no contributions or in any other category for that matter

If there is a bright side to any of this, it's that even at full strength, wins were going to be hard to get.
This would have been much worse if it happened during our stretch of winnable home games if it meant losing some of the games we won.

But let's keep reasoning why we don't want Beasley on this roster.

Didn't play terrible. Would have won IMO if we had Goran and Hassan IMO.

Really hope just about everyone is good to go for the final 3 games of this trip.

Going to be tied for 7th with Boston after this L tonight. Crazy thing is were still only 2 games out of HCA in round 1 and 3 games out of first.

We really just need to get healthy ASAP so we can get back to our winning ways and chase down that top 4 seed

 

[Paolo305613]

But let's keep reasoning why we don't want Beasley on this roster.

When have I ever tried to reason why we don't want hm in our roster? please tell me?

I have only brought up why this organization doesn't feel as though he is the answer -- If he wasnt the answer in his previous stints - why think he is now? Is the available talent pool in the NBA that bad that Beasley is the only guy the Heat should consider bringing back for help? If that is the case, the NBA is in serious trouble. Its no knock on him by any means.


Secondly, I believe the season in China is still on-going -- he would have to finish out his season there before we can even acquire him. The way things are for the Heat right now, they can't afford to wait on anyone in Beas situation - they need to go after and get someone that can come in and help immediately.

Very much so.

Really hope just about everyone is good to go for the final 3 games of this trip.

Its the Miami Heat - that might be a daunting task
