Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread for month of January

Idiot JJ turns it over trying to be ball handler than his lazy defense allows a basket... go figure - And with that, we are down 32-28 heading into the second quarter

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat down 3 as we head into this time out - still not playing up to par on either end -- a lot of those 50/50 balls and hustle situations going the Nets way -- Heat fix that and they will be off and running again

 

[Paolo305613]

Nice to see Hassan dunk it like a big man like him should do constantly.

Down 7 -- Heat have to get their act together before the half or the streak is in trouble

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat cut deficit down to 4 now with a small run - got keep it going before the half.

Nice to see McGruder contribute on offense to make up for some inevitable defensive shortcomings

 

[Paolo305613]

Welcome back Hassan with that block

 

[Paolo305613]

Waiters from Heaven longest run of season 15 points just now

 

[Paolo305613]

4 point lead into the half after that bogus foul call against McGruder -- At least the Heat turned it around when they needed to now just gotta keep it going

 

[Paolo305613]

Thats so Heat ... Babbitt makes his first 3 of the game for his first points of the game and hurts his ankle

 

[Paolo305613]

8-0 run and 12 point lead Heat of and running NOW

 

[Paolo305613]

First FTs of night for Heat -- good thing it hasn't cost us... yet

 

[Paolo305613]

And with that, Heat in bonus with 7 to go

 

[Malibu]

Waiters having a very good stretch of basketball for the Heat. Peace.

 

[Paolo305613]

7 point lead into the 4th.. gotta play some lock down D as they were going back and forth on offense the last few minutes of this quarter

 

[Paolo305613]

The Heat have scored 28 points in each of the first 3 quarters of tonights game winning all but the first quarter thus far - might need another 28 to close out this game.

First time this season they score the same amount of points for at least 3 consecutive quarters in a game

 

[Paolo305613]

Nets in bonus with 918 to go could be a crucial moment

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat now in bonus with 746 to go up 4 as crucial as ever those FTs

 

[Paolo305613]

Hassan doing the little things now as needed on defense .

Heat have to come out with their game clinching/dagger run after this time out

 

[Paolo305613]

Wrong time for foul trouble for Hassan

 

[Paolo305613]

Clutch points for Reed there

 

[Paolo305613]

Spo really needs to stop rushing the court when looking to call a time out -- it could earn him a technical at the wrong time
