Miami Heat Game Thread for February

[bksballer89]

That play is exactly why Whiteside should be starting. Whiteside blocks that Paul layup. Amare backs away

I said at half time the Heat were looking for a way to let this one slip away - they are slowly succeeding now

 

[Paolo305613]

I really hope we lose so we can get back to Whiteside in the starting lineup. I really don't see what Amare brings to the table when he starts that Hassan does not

Losing - or a moment in a game like this where it starts to slip away is when I expected to read something like this. I am with you I don't agree with Amare starting anymore or even playing this much -- but in his defense, he is playing frustrated which the Heat are not good at

 

[Paolo305613]

Now no more Amare for the rest of the game will be just nice

We can only hope

Hacking Jordan now. Watch this back fire

It has not

 

[Paolo305613]

I posted about the NBA stopping these hacking crap. Hope it ends soon enough

 

[Paolo305613]

It has not

Lots of game left - it could come back to haunt when it matters most

 

[Paolo305613]

Thats what I meant - it may not back fire on one occasion or on a particular one but as a whole -- it may

He's a 43% shooter. Highly unlikely

 

[Paolo305613]

See, now the Heat are down 7 and Clips in the penalty - thats the downside and what is so stupid about this approach -- when you're losing , even if its one point at a time - your adding to the deficit - not to mention getting fouls on the stat sheet for your player/team which may end up fouling out only because of taking this approach. Now, if Amare was out there and we were using him to hack, then I may not be bothered by it because being without Amare today seems like would actually help us

This hack Deandre really makes the game go slow. Wade and Bosh are 5-25 and Dragic is playing poorly so not sure how we pull this one out. Also, another bad 3rd quarter thus far so nothing is too surprising with this team. This is a game at home that we should win. Let's see if we man up or blow it.

Also, greetings gentlemen. Have seen the adjustments by the Heat in terms of starting the 1st quarter better and having Deng and Winslow more involved. I do give credit to the coaching staff for allowing adjustments to be made. Glad they listened to the players.

Again -- my point isn't about Jordan specifically - my point is it will put us in the penalty and no matter who we foul then, they will go to the line. But glad they took him out now - if we can play defense - we can get back in this one

 

[Paolo305613]

See, Hassan earns a dumb foul there and they go to the FT - whether they score there or not - its another foul against the Heat and Hassan- can't afford to lose him with the uselessness of Amare today

 

[Paolo305613]

CB needs to get going to give us a chance

That wasn't a foul. That clearly should have been a jump ball.

 

[bksballer89]

Were not going to win this one unless Bosh gets hot. We usually lose when he shoots as bad as he is doing today

 

[Paolo305613]

Take over time for Wade - its now or never

 

[bksballer89]

Bosh and Wade shooting 6-28. Very hard to win especially against a good team when those 2 are off
