Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread for December/January

Amazing how much better this team looks with an actual point guard playing

SHHH! don't tell Andres that - he doesn't understand the impact of key guys being out for the Heat - clearly. But to your point - this further solidifies Udrih as the backup PG -- Then TJ though he is having a respectable game - he is producing better now that he doesn't have such a big burden put on him - which I have always said - when such a big burden is put on him - he just can't get the job done.

 

[Paolo305613]

No D-Rose to start here for Bulls which is good for us - thought he hasn't done much which actually makes me sad for him

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

This shit show is near unwatchable.
Maybe we should hire Blatt?

Down 7 into the 4th . still a game. This quarter much like the first - good shots taken for the Heat but not enough falling and too many fouls on their part. If they fall, its a much different game

Pretty hard to win games when you have what should be a halftime amount of points after the 3rd qtr.

Whats so unwatchable? Its just a matter of shots not falling - they've taken good shots and its just not falling.

Games in which defense is played well by both teams often leads to scores like this

To be fair, I wasn't home until the last few minutes of the 3rd qtr.
What I saw was pretty bad, yet, as you pointed out its still a close game.

Heat will probably end up in the 80's.
I'd be interested to see the stats where a team wins with less than 90.

Yes the end of the quarter wasn't the greatest but a quick response here early in the 4th to even things out some

 

[Paolo305613]

A bit late but still relevant . Again speaks to the importance of having some guys back even though someone here fails to see the effect of that factor

Hopefully.
I want being negative.
Just getting tired of losing regardless of why.

 

[Paolo305613]

We have ourselves a game now

 

[Paolo305613]

Turnover and down 1 again but we have ourselves a game. A lineup of CB, Deng, Wade, Udrih with G-Squared and Amare mixed in in small spurts - will help down the stretch

 

[bksballer89]

Can't play better defense than Bosh did there.

Sucks

 

[Paolo305613]

Now Heat need to play D without fouling and make their FTs

 

[Paolo305613]

Tough luck for CB a lot of shots that have just rimmed out on him - if a few more of those go down, we have a bit of a breather in this one

 

[Paolo305613]

CB coming through when needed and finally his shots are falling - thats what you have to do when you are a score - keep at it and they will fall eventually

 

[bksballer89]

Nice to see us run actual offensive sets in the final 2 minutes instead of Wade or Bosh iso ball

 

[bksballer89]

We can't make Gasol beat us. I would dig next time he get the ball in the post and force one of their perimeter guys to hit a contested jumpshot
