Miami Heat Game Thread for Games January 27- February 6

Clueless ---- Tyler on his second 10 day contract. If we don't sign him for the rest of the year, we lose his rights...

Not clueless - an honest mistake. I just realized it as I write down all our transactions to keep track. Still, we shouldnt sign him for the balance of the season - we wont lose anything if we lose his rights

Most nights, being down by 11 would be a big deal, and it is still tonight - But considering how we have played and against who, under the circumstances - being down 11 is not as bad. Pretty sure some of you idiots had us losing this game at half time. If they can just execute the second half game plan, if we can avoid injuries, avoid taking any more unnecessary 3s and avoid turnovers - we can make it close at the end

Where in my post does it say I am happy with just keeping it close? I am just pointing out how most of you idiots probably thought this game would be long over by now given the circumstances but weve done a good job of keeping it fairly close - thats due to great coaching from our HOF caliber coach, great young staff and players actually executing. Lets hope the players can continue to execute as the coaches, as always, have done their part of the deal

This team is so painful to watch

dumb technical for Birdman but he earned it. Now trying to play the innocent card - and here come our homer announcers to make excuses

 

[Paolo305613]

double technical so the Heat catch a break there as it only shouldve been a tech on Birdman

Pitchers and catchers report soon

 

[Paolo305613]

Mental defensive lapse by Johnson and a Parker 3 blows up the lead again - for as good as he has been offensively, any time there seems to be a mental defensive lapse, he seems to be the main focus in it

 

[Paolo305613]

down 16 into the 4th could be and should be a lot worst

 

[Paolo305613]

Turnovers, which decrease our possessions and adds to the opponent and bad shots are the biggest problem tonight and whats keeping us from making this a close game and winning - again, not something you can put on coaches

 

[Paolo305613]

Tyler Johnson with another turnover. No need to sign him for the rest of the season - potential may be there, but not worth it right now. More D-League time is what he needs

 

[avalon2423]

Bosh has been such a disappointment for the $ we are paying him. Should they look to possibly trade him now while they can? Even if we get in the playoffs we arent going anywhere.

 

[Paolo305613]

For the money we are paying him he has been a disappointment. But considering the circumstances we are in, he has been the best we have outside of Whiteside. Why trade such an important piece. We may not get far come playoff time -- but I think they knew that going into the start of the season - the focus is on the future, and CB can certainly be apart of it , and we will need him around as we build towards the future to build the best way possible.

Miami Heat coach Erik Sppelstra still sees place for team in NBA playoffs - Sun Sentinel

Will Hassan Whiteside merely be a two-year rental for Miami Heat? - Sun Sentinel

 

[Andresrenee]

Well...we did not lose by 30 but by double digits and we lost the 3rd again. Team looks like a dumpster fire. The only players on our team playing to their contract are Deng, Bird and Hassan. For the number of games played and the amount of money being paid versus the production in actual games, Bosh, Wade, Chalmers, Cole, Granger, and McRoberts have all been absolute disappointments. The rookies have been mediocre. Couple that with coaching brain farts and here we are. Should be interesting after the All-Star break. I don't feel good about Monday if Wade and Hassan are not back as this team has been awful at home. Pretty disappointing season all the way around. Very interesting off-season coming up. Maybe, just maybe we can make a little noise in the playoffs, IF we get healthy which honestly seems quite doubtful at this point.

 

[bksballer89]

Were you really expecting to not lose to the Spurs by double digits? Seriously

As I said the other night I did not want to hear complaining about this game. We did not stand a chance especially without Whiteside.

Team looks like a dumpster fire because we could never get our best players on the court together.

I read somewhere that the Heat are outscoring their opponents by 21 points per 100 possessions when Hassan, Deng, Wade, & Bosh are on the court together which unfortunately has not been often.

Pitchers and catchers report soon

I am a Marlins fan.... This does little for me. Jose Fernandez due back in June.... Here's to not losing a 100 games.

Life isnt about what YOU want - it would be an even bigger disaster if that were the case.
