Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread for December/January

[Flauge]

Wade/Bosh should criticize themselves also.
How many times have we seen Bosh with less then 4 points midway through the 2nd qtr?
How many times have we seen Wade play like bad Wade vs attacking Wade and just settle for shit, low % shots early in the shot clock.

Those 2 need to lead be example by keeping us in games early if the others are struggling vs just be a part of the downfall and then bitch afterwards.

I dont doubt Wade/Bosh blame themselves somewhat. Bosh does need to be more aggresive and move to the lower post a lot more than he is doing. But Hassan has to start giving that ball back out when he gets it in low. He is a black hole right now. When the defense is collapsing he is still forcing to much and getting the ball turned over a lot. He is young and is still learning the NBA game.. but when two future hall of famers and 20+ all-star appearances between them tell you to stop free lancing, it should cause you to at least think about what you are doing.

Ultimately we will be fine. We have a solid nucleus. We are good defensively. My biggest concern for our team is the health of Wade's knees come May. If he stays healthy all year, we should have a home playoff series and then a trip to the second round against Indy, Chicago, or Cleveland. We can beat two of those teams. We could see ECF this year. Which would be an amazing season. Would love a Spurs/Warriors and Heat/Cavs conference finals.

Preparation for spread offense is on-the-job training for Heat

Agreed. He needs to work on his ability to re-post in the paint when he doesn't get the ball in the most favorable spots initially.

Yeah agree. He complained last week about how the team never call plays for him only to have them call plays for him on Wednesday and turn the ball over 6 times. Before he starts bitching about the team never calling plays for him, maybe he should have worked on his post game in the summer

Well, it couldn't be said any better

 

[Paolo305613]

Maybe this will turn things around for him?

 

[bksballer89]

No Tyler Johnson or McRoberts.....Possible No Whiteside either

[Paolo305613]

Hope we see some Udrih tonight with no TJ . Glad Hassan can play

 

[Paolo305613]

If Whiteside starts, Pacers will go big with Mahinmi and Lavoy Allen, with C.J. Miles off the bench. Otherwise Miles will start.

Hassan said " my ankle is sore but my team needs me " love it

We should

That's my one knock against him. He plays hard defensively and kept himself in shape. However, his offensive moves are limited. At this juncture, all he can go off of is potential in why he deserves a contract that's $100 mil+ next season.

 

[Paolo305613]

2 early fouls for Hassan and a turnover inside because did too much and didn't repost

 

[bksballer89]

 

[Heatles84]

Well, the defense is looking a lot better right now.

 

[bksballer89]

Real shitty call on Whiteside. Never touched George and George actually used his off arm.

That was either a no call or an offensive foul

 

[Heatles84]

Nice read by Udrih to find Wade for the cut.

 

[bksballer89]

How is Deng supposed to play defense? I don't understand

 

[bksballer89]

That was another fucking garbage call
