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

Do they get it together and beat Detroit Saturday?

The one idiot on the board has already placed blame on his favorite guy to pick on since he is incapable of seeing the true factors that the Heat lose.

Lacking 2 regulars never helps regardless of how poorly they may have been playing lately.

Too many tunovers especially from guys that had no business touching the ball so much, especially trying to be play-makers, of which they are not -- Well, tonight it was just the one in Josh RIchardson with 4 turnovers

And the favorite stat of some in here -- at least when its to their benefit:+/-

Richardson,Hassan, JJ, Wade "led" the Heat in the category with a combined -73 , worth noting K.O. logged in a -19 he didnt play as much because of Spo he was one of the guys Spo pulled the plug on too early considering he was more than capable of getting it together as the game went on compared to the other 4.

Again a big disparity in 3 attempts over FT attempts

In the end, the Heat take another giant step towards that ever important 10th seed

Many reasons involving the players on the court as to why the Heat lost tonight -- but, yeah -- lets take the easy way out and blame Spo as per usual - give the players a free pass.

On to play the Pistons

 

[Paolo305613]

Oh, and also worth noting -- another embarrassing loss at home.... so much for the home-court advantage with the fair-weathered Heat fans - LA Fakers fans took over the arena tonight.

Also of importance, Heat fall to 3-4 since the Wade return.

 

[Andresrenee]

Comical. The Heat are 3-4 with Wade but they had lost their previous 6 without him. I am sorry but when you don’t play defense and don’t exert effort after a couple of days break at home and allow the worst 3 point shooting team in the league to have their best day, some is on the coaches. You also tip your hat to them but they had open shots.

The Spolestra fan club is out

 

[Paolo305613]

TJ and Ellington doubtful for tomorrow according to Ira Winderman

 

[Paolo305613]

Adebayo out tonight due to personal reasons.

Looks like another tough one for the heat to face short-handed -- but lets ignore that FACT and just blame the coach when things go sour.

FACTS matter at all times - not just when its beneficial to you

 

[Paolo305613]

Hope to see some PT for Jordan Mickey with the Adebayo absence today.

And rejoice the Hassan fan club -- this may mean he gets a lot more PT even if he starts doing things that would otherwise get him benched - hopefully he makes himself more useful to the team with the potential extended PT

Do they get it together and beat Detroit Saturday?

I think so

 

[Paolo305613]

The Derrick Jones Jr legend will continue tonight! Well, at least Spo says he will be active

 

[Paolo305613]

Babbitt in the lineup tonight -- James Johnson inexplicably starting again beyond the injuries situation - Winslow to bench.

This is and has always been my criticism of Spo - his insisting on giving certain guys a chance who dont deserve it or have previously blown it - and giving up on guys he should do so just yet

 

[Paolo305613]

Blake's eyes are going to light up every time he sees JJ guarding him again

 

[Paolo305613]

Hassan to the bench early...so there is that

 

[Paolo305613]

And there we go with the Wade turnovers

 

[Paolo305613]

-1 after 1

 

[Paolo305613]

The REAL Mr.305 is in the game!

 

[Paolo305613]

+13 at the half for the Heat. More importantly, they have momentum in their favor along with the lead to take into the half which is most important in determining if they are able to maintain lead in second half or not

 

[bksballer89]

Another shit show in a 3rd quarter.

-9 & 7 turnovers

 

[Paolo305613]

+4 after 3 - Heat got jumper happy and the turnovers piled up that quarter -- and the Heat just dont believe in winning in blow out fashion it seems

Of course, some clown is going to blame the coach -- because... of course

 

[Paolo305613]

Richardson at least having himself a game tonight on both ends

 

[Paolo305613]

Early run for Heat to start the 4th - hopefully a few more buckets to close this one out sooner than later
