Miami Heat Game Thread for February

Kevin Martin rumored to be going to Spurs -- so no Johnson-Martin pairing for the Heat -- next?

Hassan Whiteside fumes about officiating, Celtics' flopping

Minor tamper tantrum from Hassan... following a loss of course. Not saying he is wrong -- just pointing out how this once again comes after a loss

Guys get frustrated after losses especially if they feel like they were being cheated

Very true. But it is MY opinion that he too often does this even more so after a loss -- pretty sure he wouldn't be as expressive with his " frustration" if the outcome of a game was a win despite " being cheated"

I kind of wonder if Miami will eventually change they lineup now that Joe Johnson is here. I'm thinking they may place Winslow back in his bench role and go with a starting lineup of Dragic, Wade, Johnson, Deng, and Whiteside

Also I think the end of game lineup due to Johnson shooting will almost be the following:

Dragic
Wade
Johnson
Winslow/Deng
Whiteside

Very likely scenario.


As for your end of game lineup I would go with Deng -- Play Winslow in the early part of the quarter instead.

ASK IRA: Do Heat still need to make another move?

Winderman's view: Celtics 101, Heat 89

I think JJ will do that number and those former #2's rightful justice

 

[Paolo305613]

I was afraid maybe the Heat would come up with " he doesn't know the playbook yet/defensive assignments etc"

 

[Paolo305613]

Happy Birthday Josh McRoberts -- may he have himself a decent game tonight. Got off to an OK start last night on both ends early on -- so of course he didn't play the rest of the way...

Marcus Thornton clears waivers

 

[Paolo305613]

Joe will play tonight . Per Ira , also mentions the possibility of re-signing with heat

 

[Paolo305613]

No Affalo for Knicks tonight helps the heat

 

[Paolo305613]

More from Ira - Johnson will eventually start - not sure of tonight

 

[Paolo305613]

Johnson to start tonight along with the other others from yesterday

A " Let's go Heat" chant less than 2 minutes into the game lmao
