Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread for December/January

[Andresrenee]

Dragic now banged up....the defining month for out Heat is underway. Shame we lost that Knicks game and this one which was winnable.

I'm just going to chalk this one up as a scheduling L. Just as I did with the Memphis game

 

[Andresrenee]

How far down will the computers drop us in the rankings with a loss tonight andres?

Well, they just predicted a sub 500 team for the year. Likely due to some injuries and the like. We are in a month where we could end up slipping dramatically. We shall see.

The Knicks game bother me more than this one. I said last week 3-2 during this 5 games in 7 night stretch would be a success. I didn't expect this to be the 2 losses but they all count the same

LOL. Wade and Bosh going 0 for 3 in the last minute of regulation had nothing to do with that bad overtime loss? Come on man....

 

[Paolo305613]

No reason for Wade to still be in this game

 

[Paolo305613]

Fucking piece of shit misses another key FT

 

[Andresrenee]

Wade finally hits a shot...

It did but 4th game in 5 nights. 2nd OT game in the stretch. You try and play 4 in 5 nights including 2 OT games and lets see if you don't feel it in your legs.

 

[Paolo305613]

Spo needs to be fined for torture in this game unnecessarily using these timeouts instead of just getting this shit over with -- he does this shit way too much

 

[Andresrenee]

If I were Bosh and Dragic, I would be pissed. Those guys are shooting well and the team and coaches don't get them the ball. Silly, silly...silly Spolestra. 32 points in 2nd half after Spolestra's adjustments. Johnson blows by Wade who clearly does not want to be in the game....LOL. Coach Spolestra this one is on you buddy. Call some plays for Dragic and Bosh while the game is still close.

Good news is we don't have another B2B on this trip. Bad news is 3 of our next 4 is against the 3 of the top 4 teams out West.

In order for this trip to be a success, we are now forced to win a game against GSW, OKC, or LAC

Well, the Memphis game did not need to go to overtime. Such is life. This is a decent but not great team. Looking at a another 3 game losing streak. The distrubing part about this game is that in 2 of our last 3 games we have allowed teams to shoot over 55%, Wade gets outplayed by Johnson, we score 34 after Spolestra's adjustments, Winslow can't play on offense, and this coaching staff still can't get plays run on offense for the players shooting well.

I don't think we win another one on this trip to be honest. Just don't see it.

The Memphis game did go into OT.

You're saying looking at another 3 game losing streak like they had several. It would only be the 2nd and I think out of the 3 top teams we play on this trip, we have a good chance of beating the Clippers. We match up well with them

We're going to lose to Denver? LOL wow

 

[bksballer89]

The West is weaker than the East this year and this team nearly 3 months into the season has shown that they typically bounce back from losses but all of sudden they're going to lose 5 straight? LMAO just wow

Memphis did not need to go to OT if we make 1 of 3 and shot 33% with two of our best players. Whatever you say on the Clippers. Also, not sure why so confident against the Nuggets in Denver where we rarely won even with Lebron in a year where we LOST to the NETs at home.

Well, if they continue to let teams shoot over 55% as they have over 2 of the last 3 games, then I am not sure we are going to win too many NBA games with the offensive prowess of this team.

Those Denver teams during the Lebron years were playoff teams. This Denver team will be drafting top 5 in June. Can't compare the 2 at all
