Inspired start for the short-handed Heat -- but we know how this ends quite often

 

[Paolo305613]

Such a Richardson turnover

 

[Paolo305613]

JJ with one of his classic turnovers trying to be a ball handler

 

[Paolo305613]

Only a 4-point lead into the dreadful second quarter. as per usual, lapses on both ends of the court at the end of quarter decreases the margin for heat -- thats been fuel to our collapses - can't have that when short-handed.

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat in bonus with 10 + minutes to go -- this is our chance

 

[Paolo305613]

Willie Reed with the scrub battier moment of the night

 

[Paolo305613]

only an 8 point lead into the half for Heat

 

[Paolo305613]

That obligatory Heat collapse is on the verge of starting

Happy New Year Gents! Long time no post. Been watching but figured it would be a long season so tried to avoid getting emotionally invested too much.

What have we learned?

1. the Heat and Wade miss each other.
2. Spolestra showing us how difficult the Nba CAN BE WITHOUT wade and Lebron. Wade bought him a few more years. Lebron showed that any ole coach could have taken the Big 3 where they were taken. A shame indeed. This years team is bad but not this bad.
3. Winslow and Richardson may not be as good as we thought.
4. The organization is tanking this year and should refund the season ticket holders some money.
5. Not sure Whiteside is the guy to lead the franchise.

The good news is we will likely get a lottery pick and reset next year knowing what we truly have both in players and coaching staff.

Peace my brothers.

Here comes that collapse -- suddenly down 4 heading into the 4th -- probably too tall a deficit for the Heat.

As broadcasters said, whenever the Heat lose leads, they tend to try to do too much -- that wouldn't be necessary if they got the job done sooner.

Now, Spo will probably inspire the Pistons to blow us out with his typical weak starting 4th quarter lineup Richardson and JJ leading the way -- they will probably bring in Winslow to finish it off as well

Oh and nice halftime adjustments again. Team about to go 15 games under 500 barring someone getting hot after 35 games. Amazing. Great staff!

 

[Paolo305613]

down 8 just like that -- this one is about to be sealed

 

[Paolo305613]

Now down 10 -- here come the worthless Spo timeouts when the game has been decided to extend the misery

 

[Paolo305613]

Contrary to what Heat broadcasters are saying - NO - The Heat are not taking good shots. At this point, jump shots are bad shots -- go inside or bust

 

[Andresrenee]

Glad to see Paolo acknowledging the virtues of Spolestra!

 

[Paolo305613]

Another one of those James Johnson turnovers late in this game -- because thats what he do out there
