Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread for December/January

[Paolo305613]

I think most of us who watched the game last night would probably agree to disagree with this crap - yes?

 

[Paolo305613]

That said , this only involves the final two minutes of the game - there was a lot of bad calls prior

Thanks for pointing out how many games over .500 we are -- when Andres spits his crap it can cause someone to think the Heat are 10+ under .500

Alright Paulo, its all good. I am a fan just like you and do appreciate your postings with links and their valuable insight. I bust your chops on Spolestra since he is the one person I don't think you ever were critical of even during the Big 3 era. He is a good coach...not great until he can work a better offensive system but he is still young. Peace out and hoping for a strong finish to the season.

Spolestra since he is the one person I don't think you ever were critical of even during the Big 3 era.

Work on your reading comprehension - and your vision -- you might see the times I am critical of him - I may not be as tirelessly and endlessly critical of him as you are -- but I am.

ASK IRA: Do Heat owe it to themselves to make these pieces fit?

During the losing streak -- amid all the injuries - The Heat talked about not making an excuses. It has to be the same approach here -- They have shown , not just in these last two games , but many times this season - what they are capable of with this group -- flawed as it may be. Some times, being able to man up and just play is the best ADJUSTMENT a team can make.

That ADJUSTMENT part was for you, Andres

That was entertaining. Maxiell overreacted a bit. Intent is virtually impossible to judge, but that didn't look intentional enough for such a reaction.

Also per Heat social media accounts - McRob and Goran were full participants and Hassan was a limited participant in practice today.

Light at the end of the tunnel before the game tomorrow night

Some order in AS weekend restored. CB makes it as a reserve

 

[Paolo305613]

Hope he accepts. CB be at AS weekend is always great

Retire? Heat's Amar'e Stoudemire wants to play 2-3 more years

And if we want him to remain a Heat for those 2-3 years, it would be wise for the Heat to continue to use him in the way they have and not overdue it unless overly desperate -- which we are not.

Amid all his offensive struggles Winslow continues to do it big on defense. Looks like the our great coaching staff has done the right thing in sticking with Winslow -- Instead of " not playing him at all" as someone had often suggested when he struggled. How you like THOSE advance stats, andres? Spo the great rewarding players for their efforts and the players responding in the best way possible.

 

[Paolo305613]

Btw, happy Goran Dragic Returns Day! 4/5 of our starting lineup is back -- it will only get better and we will continue to see what this team is capable of when healthy

ASK IRA: Should Heat move to more of a equal-opportunity approach?

Q: You know, in hindsight, I'm glad this LeBron James saga is gone and over with in Miami. Who wants their organization run by a bunch who are on the coattails of LeBron and know nothing about running a business? I'd rather we rebuild then to have his power-hungry people trying to tell Micky Arison and Pat Riley how to run a franchise. Just be done with it. The name on the front and the culture are bigger than the name on the back. You're never bigger than the game. -- Julio.

A: I've heard plenty of that in recent days, and it certainly is easy to say after the fact, when he's gone. But someone like yourself sounds like someone who also realizes just how much LeBron meant to the Heat (and means to the Cavaliers) in terms of on-court success. "Culture" is fine, but so are parades. I'm not sure that many, if not most, Heat fans wouldn't have preferred the team hand over a bit more if LeBron could have been retained (although I doubt that was the overriding factor in his decision to leave). But if that's not you, then more power to you with and principles.


Looks like I wasn't the only tired of the Big 3 era and for the same reasons -- even Ira seems done with it as well as his reader in this one.
