Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread for December/January

Happy New Year all! Hope everone had a great Holiday Season with family and friends. 19-13 is not bad at this point but we could have been better. Just imagine, we could be 21-11 if Bosh or Wade make 1 of 2 shots in last minute vs. Pistons or 1-3 in last minute versus the Grizzlies in regulation. Will be interesting. Hassan playing more in the 4th and team realizing need to involve others. Let's see if we can pull off some wins here.

Or if we set up the play for someone else that was open on those plays or if Wade passes it to someone else with a better shot on those plays --- but life goes on.

ASK IRA: Would Wade as reserve ever fly with Dwyane?

It needs to fly with him - he needs to realize its whats best for him - and more importantly, the team - the team is bigger than he is -- we won in a fucking blow out as I would expect with him coming off the bench - I bet he would have more consistent performances on both ends of the floor - if he came off the bench - which hasn't necessarily been the case as much as a starter for a while

Wade and Bosh both had looks they frequently make against Detroit. They just happened to miss

The Memphis game did not bother me. 4th game in 5 nights and our 2nd OT game in that stretch so that was a scheduling L. The Brooklyn and Detroit game did annoy me. We should be 20-12 at least

So, same starters as usual - unless Wade disappears for the start of the game again or decides to take on a bench role, as he should - and same inactives minus Winslow who will play

 

[Paolo305613]

 

[Paolo305613]

McRob and Stokes will be the inactives listed

Good pre-game note via Miami Heat twitter
Tonight your Miami HEAT play their first of 12 road games this month - the most January away games in franchise history.

Additionally, the HEAT enter tonight's matchup with a 22-13 (.629) record here inside the Verizon Center, their highest winning percentage in any road building (15 games played) in franchise history.

 

[Paolo305613]

Good start for the Heat - they are starting to do this more and more finally

 

[Paolo305613]

Taking care of the ball and taking good shots is the key in this game because the speed of the Wizards could be lethal to the Heat

 

[Paolo305613]

Nice to Udrih get some much needed and deserved PT here

 

[Paolo305613]

up 1 after 1

Bad Gerlad Green is with us tonight. Man...there appears to be no in between for this guy. Either really good or really bad.

Agreed - which is the exact same way to describe our team as a whole - go figure
