Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread for month of January

[bksballer89]

Man just like LeBron James most of the Heat fans left. I see two real Heat fans around at least. Funny how the Bandwagon Heat fans have left the building. Go Lakers!!! Peace.

Na were still here. There only been 5 to 7 heat fans since i been on SportsHoopla. Most are still here

With Hassan back, lets hope this game is a little less miserable than the Fins game

Lol @ a Lakers fan calling any fan base bandwagoners, while you root for the broncos nonetheless

Dont waste your time with trolls - much less LA Fakers trolls.

You live in MIA?

Hassan still thinks he is a jumper shooter? that won't work

Til death do us apart

Better defense now with Hassan for the Heat - but we can't trade baskets with these guys and we need to take care of the ball to have a chance

Root for the Canes as well?

I'm in Tampa, so my team's are mixed as far as FL goes, grew up a phone fan cuz of Marino.

Back when I started watching basketball everyone here was a magic/Tmac fan, so I started rooting for the Heat, now I get called a bandwagon fan lol

Canes All Day!

Coach Fiorentino said the LAC strategy is to force the Heat into jump shots -- that should be easy since the Heat often force themselves into them

 

[Paolo305613]

Hopefully DeAndre Jordan will single handedly match the Heat at the FT line and keep us in this game for as long as possible

 

[Paolo305613]

Good stuff from Willie Reed there

 

[Paolo305613]

Assuming he gets the minutes, instead of giving them to someone who may not deserve or earn it - I expect Willie Reed to continue his emergency coming off the bench for Hassan

 

[Paolo305613]

Not bad for the Heat. Balanced contributions - down just 1 after 1 -- lets see how long it last

 

[Paolo305613]

Missed chance on that turnover for heat

 

[Paolo305613]

What a block from Reed

 

[Paolo305613]

And another turnover for Heat and missed chance -- can't have it -- then a foul... can't have that either

 

[Paolo305613]

Missed shot and a no-call on one end leads to points on the other end and now down 6 -- gotta keep it together here or else this could be a dolphins-like collapse

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat melt down now underway in full force down 10

 

[Paolo305613]

Now it becomes one of those games where the Heat make runs but it won't be good enough given the early deficit and missed chances
