Miami Heat Game Thread For Month of April

[bksballer89]

We likely get the 5th seed and have the worst match up possible against Boston who can smoke us with speed on the outside. The Heat's style of play and our aging guards (Dragic and Wade) just can't get it done on the back to backs and we are not consistently good enough to beat even mediocre teams playing our style with these cats.

As good as Spolestra was last night with feel for the game, he was not good tonight. Hassan outclassed by the opposing center shows he is still a work in process like the Paolo constantly says.

The good news is that there are no back to backs in the playoffs so I like our chances but if we get Boston we could be out 4-1.

I think Boston will get 3rd. Should be safe from playing them unless we lose all of our remaining games

Atlanta is playing real well right now. Good news is we won't finish 8th or 7th. Bad news is we will be playing against teams that are playing well in the first round such as Charlotte, Atlanta and Boston irrespective of whether we get home court or not. Will be interesting.

Mental lapse there from Hassan earning himself a technical at the worst possible time - a sign that his behavioral growth is still a work in progress - he is still an unfinished product in that regard -- it shows you can never give the guy too much credit just yet with that.

As I told you when it happen it was a shitty ref. When Spo defends his player on a T to the media, you know it had to be shitty refs.

No doubt it was a bad call. Not arguing it was a bad call or terrible officiating. Still doesn't excuse the reaction thats just my opinion and will always be

ASK IRA: Have Heat rookies shown they're up to the moment?

His reaction was fine. As Spo said he was calm. There was no need to give the T unless you wanted to come off as a piece of garbage

As far as I know you and many others have always thought of Spo as garbage so...


Anyhow, in other news -- lets see if the Heat will now be able to take advantage of the Magic being out with one more player tomorrow

We'll win tomorrow. The last 2 games are interesting. I think if we can win one of those, it may be good enough for the 4th seed

How do you all like the D-Wright reunion over a Beasley reunion? D-Wright another rook i was rough on in his time with the Heat. Obviously very raw coming out of HS at the time - his shooting form is what mostly bothered me of him but he has improved and turned into a quality player.

These moves virtually signal the end of CB for the season/playoffs, no? Hopefully we get these moves to be official before game time tomorrow and have them available in case the Heat have officially waved the white flag on HCA and are now thinking of resting guys.

Disregard -- D.Wright signing wouldn't be official until Monday.

The Beasley reunion would have made more sense. Wright is most likely a bench warmer. Beasley would have actually filled a need. We did not need another SF

Such is life. Heat now have to figure out a way to make it work -- and they will
