Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread for December/January

600 career 3's for G-Squared lead down 2 two for the Heat after the Raptors cut into the lead after some lazy D

 

[Paolo305613]

Nice set play by Spo as always out of time out and 3 for G-Squared again followed by another turnover from Wade but no damage done. Heat up 5 at the half and their best hopefully yet to come and I am almost sure it will

lead up to 11 with 9 and a half left in the third. Great coaching adjustments as usual from this great staff and players executing as needed to nearly perfection

 

[Paolo305613]

lead down to 4

 

[Paolo305613]

Now down 4 into the 4th. Heat must make an early run to take back the lead and close this out

 

[Paolo305613]

Raptors simply playing harder than the Heat, which is obviously easy for any opponent to do against the Heat but also playing faster thats proving costly right now with the turnovers

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat need to defend without fouling the rest of tonight to win this game. Not enough FT for us

 

[Paolo305613]

Another turnover by Wade trying to do too much and complaining about a clear foul he committed on the other end. He probably doesn't need to play anymore tonight.

Should've known the jinx was on and that the Heat would lose tonight when Flauge basically guaranteed a win tonight - that should've been telling

Thanks for the jinx, Flauge - we had a good thing going here without Andre

 

[Paolo305613]

The Heat pretty much quit in the final minutes of this one once the got behind earlier in the quarter

Glad I only saw the final 5 minutes. Based on the box score, we played bad defense and wade had too many turnovers.

The Raptors were fast and the Heat were like 2-3 steps slow. We never had the defensive stretches needed as we usually have to get back in games. Yes, it was another high turnover game for Wade, he has a lot of those - but people never seem to realize it because they give him a pass for the points he scores. The frustrating part of his turnovers was that most were of the unforced variety as too often is the case with him.

Because of the turnovers and the Raptors pretty much controlling the pace the entire game - The Heat had no say in the pace of this game - they just couldn't attack the basket enough to get to the free throw line.


Its over now. Knew we were in trouble when Flauge basically guaranteed the win . We have a chance to bounce back tomorrow against Portland. Who isn't quite the same it was with Aldridge though they still got Lilliard. Still the 5th seed in the east.

ASK IRA: Does Pat Riley actually believe Heat have enough?

 

[Paolo305613]

 

[Paolo305613]

Anyone in here watching the college football bowl games? Great games so far. Too many games? My ass! doing good in my Pick Em so far

 

[Paolo305613]

Portland , much like Toronto comes to play against Miami having lost two in a row but with Damian Lilliard still on the roster, they are slightly better than their record indicates. A trap game of sorts for the Heat. Lets see how they come out today - especially with an early start. The first of few of the kind in up coming days
