Miami Heat Game Thread for February

They don't have a first round pick so that tanking comment is stupid

Well....it is top 10 protected.

Looks like the Heat may need to start stocking up on some Maxii Pads the rest of the season

And they already got 29 wins. This team is not going to tank to try and get a top 10 pick.

Yeah, I have a feeling we'll just miss the playoffs and the 76ers will get a mid-round pick out of us.

I was only kinda joking about taking. Sorta. It wasn't that serious. But if there is anything to this thing with Wade, I have a feeling a bigger emphasis will be keeping the team healthy and finishing the season strong than an all out playoff push.

In an attempt to spin things in a positive manner, hopefully the days off have given Justise Winslow to take things in as far as what he has learned so far in this league and to show some improvement during this last half of the season -- And with extended playing time coming -- now is a good a time as any for him to continue to progress as a player

Green fumbles another ball trying to go for the dunk rather than the lay up. love the conviction of wanting to go for the dunk but sometimes you have to take something off it

 

[Paolo305613]

If he just attacks , he will be just fine. Same goes for the rest of the team. Don't fall in love with the 3 unless its desperately necessary

Tough for Dragic to pick up that second foul this early has been playing well -- at least we got Udrih

 

[Paolo305613]

Defensive and some sloppy shooting from ATL keeping he Heat in this one up 22-19 after one. The foul trouble is the lone concern with a depleted roster

 

[bksballer89]

This is how we have to win tonight. Need to be very low scoring. If this game gets above the mid 80's it is likely a L for us

 

[Paolo305613]

Great awareness and play by J-Rich there to get that steal and points. Also, good start for McRob

 

[Paolo305613]

Getting to the line and making the FT will also be key tonight for Heat

 

[Paolo305613]

Pure heart and hustle from this Heat group tonight thus far

 

[Paolo305613]

I apologize to J-Rich, at least for now - he has really stepped up

 

[Paolo305613]

Good time out here by Spo after 4 straight points by ATL after their timeout. Stop their run before it starts

 

[Paolo305613]

David Lee waived by BOS you may be aware already -- I just became aware

 

[Paolo305613]

A horrible unforced turnover by the Heat allows ATL to tie it before the half and we have a game still - not what the Heat needed being up by 9 earlier in the quarter.

Highlight this part of the game as the reason we could lose this game -- it was a good chance to have breathing space at the half and the Heat just didn't

 

[Paolo305613]

Fucking Winslow was just about useless on that defensive sequence there - you have to push up on that guy with the clock running out - not give him any space - now we are down 2 going into the 4th instead of up 1. Our lack of depth could start to hurt now
