Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread Month of March/April

123 points given up to Kings....wow. Great 3rd quarter adjustments, great defensive calls at the end of regulation and there you go. Bam in for defense at the end of regulation was a huge mistake.

Swept by Kings this year. LOL. 13 games left and only up 4 in loss column over Detroit. Thank goodness they stink but this could be another epic collapse down stretch.

We're fine in terms of making the playoffs. Detroit next 2 games are on the road against Denver and Portland. We likely return to Miami up 5 games in the loss column on them.

Fitting that we hurt ourselves with a turnover to clinch loss

Fitting that we lost the 3rd quarter. Gave up points at the end of the quarter and continue to lose to teams with lessor talent. That my friends is on the coaching staff. Sugar coat it if you want or defend “the coach of the year” from his 500 season.

This season can't end fast enough

They have Blake Griffin and we have Spolestra. Anything is possible however they do have Van Grundy.

From 16-11 on the road to 16-20.

Blake Griffin is nothing special. That team is very bad. They're not making the playoffs. There is a reason they're 3-11 in their last 14 games

LOL. BAM was guarding his man out of bounds on their last possession to tie the game in regulation.

And we have lost our last 9 games on road, lost two games to Kings, 3 to Orlando, lost to atlanta and Chicago.....and we make the best adjustments at the half and give up the most points to end the quarter. You think we are a catch?!

 

[bksballer89]

Miami is going to make the playoffs. After Friday, they only have 4 road games left and 2 of them are against teams who are more interested in tanking than the Kings.

We'll be fine when it comes to making the playoffs. As for what we do in the playoffs, going to be a very quick exit considering this team can no longer play on the road

Not sure how this is relevant. A team 3-11 in their last 14 (soon to be 3-13) will need to make up 5 or 6 games in their final 13 games.

And we haven't lost our last 9 games. We lost our last 9 road games. Huge difference.

We've actually been great at home lately and won 7 of our past 8 at home and 8 of their final 12 games are at home. As I said before, making the playoffs isn't the issue. Matter of fact, they're likely going to be the 7th seed. Once again, it is how they'll perform in the playoffs that is my major concern

As I said last night, this team is has not proven its good enough to be looking ahead at any one game or any one opponent.

The hope is obviously to make the playoffs. But NOTHING is a certainty. It surely isnt with this team.

The only downside of not making the playoffs is Wade will probably not want to end his career on such a sour note and he would probably want to return for another season of the Heat baby sitting him and carrying him to another good season.

Heat bring back Derrick Jones Jr as they will be without their two big ovaries again and Richardson

Richardson miraculously went from doubtful to starting

You know mess the guy who likes thee themed jerseys .. but I hate the vice by far the most . The. Heat were barely a thing when that series was around. Go away

 

[bksballer89]

Can't wait for Wade to return so Tyler minutes can decrease. What an inconsistent player TJ is

 

[Paolo305613]

Know me as the guy *

In other news ,heat +1 after 1

 

[Paolo305613]

Tied at the half thanks to Goran carrying team. Turnovers and the lack of points the heat are getting off fakers turnovers an issue. But, of course , some troll will blame the coach for everything.

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat executing on those always great half time adjustments always key. Getting it done early in the third .
