Deficit down to 5 thanks to Hassan ... lets see what happens

I know you're not into moral victories but I was proud of the team last night.

Ultimately, I am not into them. But, I am with you that there was a lot to be proud of. I would be okay with more moral victories if the team showed on a more consistent basis that they learned from their mistakes on a game-to game basis -- But, thats not the case enough from this team. They too often make the same mistakes or make bigger ones the next game.

Next game marks the official midway point of the season -- And we have some manageable(not calling them winnable anymore)games before the AS break. Lets see if we can get some sort of momentum going into the break to come out of it with something to finish the season on a strong note.

ASK IRA: Is Whiteside on or off the (trading) block?

When some of this "effort" turns into actual results (wins) it will be the ultimate sign of better days ahead. Moral victories will only take us so far

No Heat player within range of starting or even primary reserve for AS game -- rightly so.

Whiteside should make it as a Center IMO. Taking away the Center position for voting was just dumb. If he don't make it, I'll understand as coaches usually take team record into consideration

Yeah. That was harsh on my part. Because... Me... But of course a case for Goran and Hassan could be made

Yeah at least as a reserve. Especially Hassan. We'll see

I know it won't be a popular statement coming from me , or " we" " the fans" of this game, but my hope is the way that NBA has decided to weigh the voting this season is a step forward in making fan vote the least important factor in AS selections, at least when it comes to starters.

Too many deserving guys miss out because of it.. Along with, as you pointed out, the whole front court/backcourt system

Its better if he anchors our questionable second unit

Good news is we don't have to see the Heat play until Tuesday after tonight. They don't have to ruin the long 3 day weekend.

Another day... Another man down. Your 2016-17 Miami Heat

Good to see Derrick Williams get some minutes - the odd man out for no apparent reasons but thats what the Heat do

Monroe determined to r*pe the Heat tonight and the Heat looked determined to try and do nothing about it
