Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread for December/January

[bksballer89]

And another no call

Hey look they called a foul in favor of the Heat

 

[bksballer89]

Miami got clearly fouled at least 4 times this quarter. Refs missed every single one of them

 

[bksballer89]

We dug ourself this hole but it is very hard to win a close game when you get clearly fouled 4+ times in the 4th and the refs refused to call the fouls

 

[Paolo305613]

Don't want to call him a no-name because he is a pretty decent and capable player - but Wayne Ellington is tonights winner presented to us by the Heat as the unlikely source to kill the Heat - there is always one guy who has no business performing as he usually tends to against the Heat

 

[Paolo305613]

Got a feeling after the way this one has gone in the final minutes that Wade will be sitting out his first game of the season tomorrow night

Nice hustle there from CB bad time for Wade to miss a FT though

 

[bksballer89]

Cannot afford to miss fts now

 

[Paolo305613]

Tough when there is only one ball to play with and when the emphasis on offense is Wade even in his not so best of nights

 

[Paolo305613]

Didn't need to foul there but Wade did of course

 

[bksballer89]

Why would Spo go to the foul game already? Doesn't make sense. You could have played for a stop and made it a one possession game with 25 seconds or so to go

 

[Paolo305613]

What a better and more fitting way to kill our chances in this game than for Wade to turn the ball over - poetry in motion but not in the best of ways

 

[Paolo305613]

Dragic should've worked that ball more to get a better shot - passing it to Wade for a 3 attempt the dumbest decision possible

 

[Paolo305613]

Now the Heat unnecessarily extending this game using more energy in this game that is lost instead of just getting ready for tomorrow

 

[bksballer89]

Outscored by 20+ in the 2nd half. That can't happen

 

[bksballer89]

Tmr is a must win

 

[Paolo305613]

This is why you can't judge the Heat on one game or 2-3 games whether they win or lose - There is never a consistent carry over from one game to the next be it good or bad. Lets let the season play out , or at least the rest of the first half the season ( until AS Break) to more fairly assess this team.

I gave this team far too much credit at half time. I should've known better. I should've known they were capable of this.

 

[bksballer89]

Tonight was another example of why McRoberts need to be let go in favor for a better bench player. When Gerald has an off night our bench is trash. Need another scorer we can count on

The only good thing about the January schedule is that the West is much weaker than anyone thought. The only good West teams we really face are GSW and OKC. Clippers will likely be without Blake when we face them.
