Miami Heat Game Thread for month of December

Well said from Ira -- if you are trying to win - Winslow nor Richardson needed to be out there

Yeah I agree. On top of it, he brings in James Johnson when the game is already decided. James Johnson played better than both of them. There is no reason why he was on the bench to end the 4th and almost all of the overtime periods.

A promising home stand turns mediocre now for the Heat because they decided thats how it wanted it

Yep I thought this was going to be a 4-2 homestand considering how we started. Now 2-4 is looking likely

Typical Heat -- play certain guys that you shouldn't more than they should and play certain guys you should play a lot more -- not nearly enough.

BUT like I said earlier -- the Heat succeeded at finding ways to lose this one. There was no reason for this game to EVER be close. EVER.

Nope totally agree. I don't care about developing these guys. You play who can win you ball games. James Johnson clearly been the 4th best player on the team all year long ( Only Hassan, Goran, and Tyler been better). He should be included in every end of game lineup for the most part

Not Breaking News: the Heat are already game planning how to blow thursday nights game.

Luke Babbitt , at least for tonight is one of those guys I am referring to that should have played more after the way he had started the game but of course didn't play nearly as much as he deserved... Winslow, Richardson and Reed among those who played more than they should've and the worst possible game situations

Does losing Wade and even Deng really make that huge of a difference? I mean I know we lost 2 of our 3 best players and I knew we were probably going to miss the playoffs, but damn, I didn't think we were going to be this bad.

To be fair to this team, they would have another 3-5 more wins if guys been healthy. Waiters was one of our best players and he's been out for about a month now. Winslow missed a month. Richardson missed the start of the season. Ellington the first month and is now hurt again

Its not losing Wade and Deng that is a huge deal here. Its who we replaced these guys with. This is a terrible roster. Outside of our young guys (Hassan, Tyler, Richardson, & Winslow), the only guys I care to have back on this roster is Dragic, James Johnson, and probably Ellington since he's a specialist.

Hassan was very frustrated last night and I can't blame him. On a team like this, there is no reason he can't get late game touches considering the improvement in his post game this season. Offense was clearly struggling in OT and those perimeter guys just

Mailbag: Does trading for DeMarcus Cousins make sense for Miami Heat? | Heat Zone

We already have someone to provide headaches with extra cirrcular stuff in Hassan Whiteside


I know none of you will agree with this but I don't care.

I call this sour grapes pussy.

Its one thing to voice your frustration but its another to suggest the team doesn't value you the way you may value yourself or how your contract suggest.

Credit to Hassan for making strides in his game, but if he is taken out of games at certain times he feels he should be in -- its on him. He clearly has some areas of his game to improve and sometimes having him out there in certain situations -- he is a liability.

He should grow some balls and go back to trying to dominate the paint rather than taking shots from outside -- and keep working on those FTs

 

[Paolo305613]

Way out of line. As a " franchise player" There are better ways to handle this type of displeasure. Like I said before, after a loss -- the approach seems like sour grapes -- and coming from a guy who has had questionable behavior before -- even more so.

Is he lying? Yes or no?

Pat Riley on Heat: 'Right now it's tough . . . it's frustrating for us'

 

[Paolo305613]

Is he lying? Yes or no?

Whether he is right or wrong is irrelevant -- the manner in which he handles the situation is the issue. There are better ways -- if he truly wants to be treated like a franchise player, behave like one.

I disagree

Terrific!

Riles said it best... You want to be out there all the time? Give it your ALL all the time not just when its going well for you and the team or when you decide its beneficial to do so
