Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread for December/January

If thats how he is going to be - he doesn't need to fucking be here.

ASK IRA: Can Heat sustain Sunday's late intensity?

The answer is no. This team doesn't have the mental toughness to constantly play like this and pull these types of games out.

Will be interesting to see how they come out on the second night of a b2b against a tougher opponent.

Who will disappoint me more tonight the Heat or the Dolphins? BOTH IS NOT AN OPTION SO FUCK YOU IF U SAY THAT!

I'll be here.
Not sure how we pulled that one out, but I'm glad I didn't leave early.
Honestly, the game winning shot wasn't even a good one and we'd all be bitching if it hadn't have went it....
but I'll take it.

I'll be here as well, bk. I got caught up with a huge issue for work which prevented me from watching the game last night. If you have an issue with Paolo, just block that fucker. It's great not having to see his ramblings anymore.

Dragic is not the issue. Spo is. You don't sign a guy to a 5 yr/90 mil deal and not try to accommodate him. The style of offense need to change a little bit. Dragic is and has never been a walk the ball halfcourt offense player. He is a player who likes to run. There is no reason why should not try to run a little bit more and play at a faster pace to accommodate him. The Heat coaching staff and front office always will be stubborn.

I agree with this. We were hearing how the offense was going to be more uptempo and accomodate Dragic's skill set. Wade called out Spo indirectly and said we're the slowest pace team in the league. Something has to change.

Not Heat related but NBA news

Report: Rajon used anti-gay slur against referee Bill Kennedy, who comes out as openly gay

If Wade wouldn't hog so much to more often than not do absolutely nothing with the ball and just passed it more often - the tempo and pace would surely be different and better

Tempo has nothing to do with Wade. It is the coaching. If your coach told your players after a rebound we should get out and run, our pace of play would be much faster.

You can't blame Wade for every single thing.

You can't make the coach the scapegoat for everything that goes wrong. Point being, it often matters little what the coaches say if players simply don't want to listen and don't do as asked.

When it comes to style of play you can easily blame the coaches and the front office. The players don't dictate the style of play. It comes from the coaches and also the front office based on the type of players they have on the roster.

 

[Paolo305613]

Tyler is easily the toughest s.o.b on this team so the guy has to be really hurting to be missing games

 

[Paolo305613]

No McRob tonight either. The new look has yet to be unleashed on the court.

 

[Paolo305613]

manning up finally

ATL has been struggling of late, I believe they've lost two in a row by a wide margin. lets see how they come out tonight

Hassan Whiteside explains mystery of 'caged lion'

The Heat will be without coach Keith Smart tonight. So the Heat will be 2 players short and a "coordinator" short - you know, since Andres thinks that NBA coaching staffs all around the league except for the Heat have those.

 

[bksballer89]

Whiteside won't play long tonight if he can't get out and contest Horford mid range shot

 

[Paolo305613]

Decent start
