Miami Heat Game Thread for March

[bksballer89]

I'm going to challenge this defense to hold Denver to 102 or fewer. Basically I'm asking them to hold Denver to 40 points or less

 

[bksballer89]

I'm starting to think the reason for our struggles is that now that we went from 3 above average in defenders in our starting lineup to just 1

That was a really touching thing for you to say

Quite sure you felt touched by it

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat will need to have a lead into the 4th to have a chance to win this one and have at least a 5 point lead for that matter -- the way we are turning the ball over and them taking advantage of them as they are -- could be lethal to our chances and make it difficult to win even a close one

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat in the penalty early -- Heat MUST take advantage. Not optional

 

[Paolo305613]

Hornets coming back it seems. I knew the jinx was on

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat not taking advantage of being in penalty - instead continue to commit their usual dumb fouls

 

[Paolo305613]

So much for the Heat having a lead into the 4th. They will be lucky to be tied going into 4th

 

[Paolo305613]

Bad time to miss 2 FTs. Hassan once again looking slow as he did a game or two ago - IMO its more mental than physical for him as to why he is struggling in that regard of late

 

[Paolo305613]

Well, down 1 after 3. The Heat will need to avoid the turnovers and/or turn it up a few notches defensively to pull this one out -- or one or the other. Somethings gotta give

 

[Paolo305613]

Great sequence there for Winslow. Him and J-Rich and Deng are having themselves quite a game on both ends for the Heat. Its time for the Heat to settle in defensively now

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat in bonus early in this one again

 

[bksballer89]

Never thought we would miss Bosh more on defense than offense.

 

[Paolo305613]

11-2 run. Heat can feel their chance at delivering the dagger now

 

[Paolo305613]

Charlotte wil in fact lose

 

[Paolo305613]

Fried is all out effort from start to finish. Relentless.

 

[Paolo305613]

4-0 run now for Denver -- thanks to Heat turnovers of course

 

[Paolo305613]

J-Rich WTF

 

[Paolo305613]

Great defense on that in-bound

 

[Paolo305613]

Nice sequence again by J-Rich on both ends while Wade seems to be wanting to screw us with his late turnovers. Should've kept him on bench maybe
