Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread for month of January

[Paolo305613]

Another blow out against the Heat coming - Heat looking lifeless again. Once again doing more to lose the game than trying to do things to help themselves.

Ellington needs to stop with those fades on the 2pt shots and step backs on the 3's he is making it difficult on himself thats the only reason he is slumping now

 

[Paolo305613]

And all those things lead to a 12 point deficit after 1

 

[Paolo305613]

Spo should just get the guys back on the team bus and on their way back to their airport to come back home for the next game -- continuing on with this game is pointless

 

[Paolo305613]

Hassan actually dunked! seems like forever ago

 

[Paolo305613]

-17 at the half. Hopefully Spo just tells these guys to get back on the plane. They already quit for the night

 

[Paolo305613]

Gotta love it that Beasley is sticking it to the Heat tonight

Beasley obviously will never live up to his predraft expectations, but he certainly is a serviceable NBA player who salary wise has been a bargain for years now.

More lotto balls the better.

No thanks. This team doesn't know what to do with balls

You might not want them, but you're going to get them.
This team is staring at losing prob close to 60 games.

I am leaning more towards the 50 range(low-end) They will put off some upsets and string a few wins here and there. As long as we don't lose any more guys to extended injuries , they will be able to keep it together.

On a separate note, I am hoping they call up Briante Weber before we lose him to another team and watch him become the face of the league from the point on( maybe) That was one guy we should've kept after training camp, so of course we didn't.

And NO, I am not suggesting he would turn around the season. But he would certainly provide some bright spots to our season, which is the least we could ask for.

By the way, just noticed you have a bucks logo -- you disgust me. Good riddance

Wouldn't you know it, that quarter ended 26 all but of course it didn't matter thanks to the early deficit.

I always sport the logo of Beasley's team.
Other than him, Bucks mean nothing.

I agree on Weber.

As for as 30-32 wins..
I honestly don't the Riley wants that to happen.

You really think we're going 18- 23 next 41?

I don't.

The ultimate bandwagoner. You sicken me

I don't.

I don't really care for making predictions because its pointless -- reality always plays out differently.

I just feel and hope that this team will finish on a better note than our current situation suggest and better than that of what you and some of the other pessimist think and are hoping for.

Losing is not ok. Not to me. Thats my personal opinion.

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat making their nightly false run

 

[Paolo305613]

Another less than stellar off-night for Hassan, that AS snub will be justified

Bandwagon Beasley?
You know better than that.


As far as this roster, hoping for wins is just about as pointless as predictions.
It's not about hope, it's about reality.
The season is a loss.
That being said, give me a top 5 pick vs a top 15.

The Bosh situation changed the entire mindset and any realistic positive expectations as far as wins, for the season.

It's nobody's fault, it just is what it is.

I don't blame it on the bosh situation or even consider it a factor. The organization, most of these players knew exactly how that situation was going to end - as mentally weak as this team may look at times -- I think they have and have shown the mental toughness to get over that situation.

The problem has been the other injuries surrounding this team. Had we had our full compliment of guys( excluding CB) this would be a borderline playoff time as they were early on in the season.

And championships and/or at least making the playoffs is should always be the goal and priority -never should the goal or priority be the lottery... never... unacceptable.

If you don't consider losing our best player and no way to replace his salary a factor, then it's pointless to discuss with you cause because to put it bluntly, you just don't get it.

The talent on this team is inferior to the talent on almost all other rosters.
Riley knew what was coming and just plugged in some misfits who he could get on 1 year contracts.

 

[Paolo305613]

Hassan getting it together, of course when the game has been decided. Brilliant job mr.franchise player
