Early Richardson and UD sighting

 

[Paolo305613]

The quality of our shots has decreased and the inability to defend the 3pt shot, which is the only thing keeping the Pistons in this game - is the only reason why this game is still a game which is unnecessary

 

[Paolo305613]

Down 2 at the half after a stellar start the Heat came down to earth on both ends in the second quarter. Will have to get it back on track in the third and close it out then - can't leave the door open for the Pistons even a little bit because they WILL take advantage

 

[Paolo305613]

10 3pt attempts for the Heat to just 4 FTs that won't help - can't play that game with DET

Just got home to hear the heat blew an 18 point 1st half league. Just lovely

 

[Paolo305613]

Not going to maintain a lead/win that way

 

[Paolo305613]

Wade tried to get cute there - could be facing a decent deficit going into the 4th if we keep this crap up.

MY GOD WINSLOW

 

[Paolo305613]

Well, the Heat restored order a bit there towards the end of the quarter. Up 3 into the 4th we go. Gotta finish

 

[Paolo305613]

MY GOD WINSLOW

When he is on, he is on! Other times, he shows he still just a rookie.

 

[Paolo305613]

up 7 after first 4th quarter timeout - nice sequence by J-Rich there on both ends

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat in bonus. Need to make it count

 

[Paolo305613]

Wade picked a bad time to start complaining for foul there

 

[Paolo305613]

And then he picks a bad time to miss a FT

 

[Paolo305613]

Game coming down to the last shot - not the most ideal situation for Heat even less with the way the game started

 

[Paolo305613]

As expected, a game comes down to a final shot situation - the Heat do the worst thing possible letting Wade get the ball in that situation to take a horrible unnecessary step back shot instead of an attack to the basket to create contact for a foul. 1.1 to go and possibly back to Wade for a final shot...

 

[Paolo305613]

Green was wide open on the corner for a perimeter shot as Udrih - CB's shot was after the buzzer anyway. Really frustrating how the Heat refuse to go to the basket when the game is on the line.

This game was lost by missing key FTs, not being able to defend the 3 early - and not maintaining the early lead - bad shots and bad FT shooting at the end happened more than necessary.

 

[Paolo305613]

This game certainly wasn't lost by Spo not playing certain guys at certain times or any of that crap - And , yes Reggie Jackson got away with traveling but thats not the only reason we lost either. A series of things added up towards the end

Lucky to lose by 1 when your opponent hit 15 3's.

This team is consistently inconsistent. At the rate of how inconsistent they are, they're likely to finish with 44-46 wins a a 4-6 seed in the east. Losing 2 of our last 3 home games with our brutal stretch roughly 10 days away is very disappointing
