Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread for December/January

[bksballer89]

The Heat should really consider signing Tony Wroten who Philly released today. We need more offense from our bench instead of just relying on Gerald for everything. Wroten avg 13, 17, and 8 PPG in his last 3 seasons. No reason why we shouldn't sign him on drop Stokes

McRoberts is so fucking soft. Its unreal.

We seem to have a couple of soft players on this team - hell some of our best players go soft often, so its no surprise when others follow

When he was released, I was on twitter and the twitter pages of all our beat writers blow up a little bit about signing this guy -They all basically mentioned the tax situation for the Heat as the common reason why it made no sense and why they thought the Heat wouldn't do it. But those are just opinions of a few I am sharing with you.

It seems like when the heat win their troubles are swept under the rug, be it by them or fans - and when they lose, hell breaks loose. So lets see how things play out. Tonight is the first night of a back to back and we have another one Monday-Tuesday these next couple of days could be interesting.

Haven't looked at their schedule so I don't know how the score of their games have gone, but trying to figure out why the Pelicans record is so bad - Their roster is rather solid at the top - and have some talent alongside Anthony Davis. Certainly, the Heat are in NO position to take ANYONE lightly because while they may pick and choose what games to show up for -- clearly, all of our opponents show up against us.

Hopefully they bounce back today and do so early so they can get ready for tomorrow versus an always tough opponent in Orlando despite what their record may be when we play them

Goran will play today thankfully - McRob and TJ still out

 

[Paolo305613]

Tony Brothers, Nick Buchert, Sean Corbin your referees for today's Heat-Pelicans, noon, AmericanAirlines Arena (Fox Sports Sun, ESPN).

 

[Paolo305613]

We know its a popularity event, the most deserving guys often miss out - but this is just wrong. It should be the other way around - among Heat reps CB, or at least Hassan should be near the top.

If TJ comes back soon he can possibly join Winslow in the Rookie- Sophomore Challenge

 

[bksballer89]

Fast start

 

[Paolo305613]

It be nice to see CB go inside a little more - stretching the defense with no success just yet

 

[Paolo305613]

Fast start

A little similar to last game until they blew it

 

[Paolo305613]

One positive is the Heat are consistently staying in a solid stance defensively and changing shots without blocking them/fouling that will hopefully create turnover situations for the Heat to take advantage of

 

[Paolo305613]

Pure hustle out of Hassan that ENTIRE first quarter.

Got a little sloppy for a few minutes there but got it together in time and finished well

 

[Paolo305613]

2 very Wade like turnovers by Wade there and then a foul with the shot clock running out

 

[Paolo305613]

And now 3 fouls in the first half for Hassan

 

[Flauge]

Bosh 3/11 killing us. But overall good first half. Just have to hit our shots. Our D is looking good.

 

[Paolo305613]

Of course Wade has to go and settle and miss a 3 there - probably an unnecessary preview of whats to come if this game comes down to a last shot again. the grinch of the Heat

 

[bksballer89]

Awful quarter of basketball for us

 

[Paolo305613]

Bosh 3/11 killing us. But overall good first half. Just have to hit our shots. Our D is looking good.

He's trying to get Anthony Davis out of the paint to defend him but thats not working if Bosh isn't hitting jumpers to keep him honest - hopefully CB grows a pair of balls during halftime and decides to go inside more

Bosh 3/11 killing us. But overall good first half. Just have to hit our shots. Our D is looking good.

Should be up by much more than 4....Pretty disappointing

 

[Paolo305613]

Turn half of those 3pt attempts into drives to the basket and we have a bit more of a cushion. Save for some lapses here and there which will always happen for the Heat, the defense is keeping us in the lead.

3 fouls for Hassan delaying that 4th foul will be crucial to our chances of winning

 

[Paolo305613]

CB mad at himself there because that was a 2 and not a 3
