Game Thread: Miami Heat month of December Game Thread

[Paolo305613]

I know he is just coming back from missing a few games from injury and is still banged up and all that stuff but Goran has got to be more aggressive/assertive offensively and get the Heat going

 

[Paolo305613]

Melt down time for Heat on both ends now

 

[Paolo305613]

-15 going into this time out now - If the deficit is more than 5 into the 4th, the Heat lose this one

 

[Paolo305613]

And now JJ back in lockerroom

Now Spo gets the technical that he has been looking for for quite some time now but doesnt help the team in any way

 

[Paolo305613]

-14 into the 4th - Heat may have a run or two left in them but unlikely to be good enough tonight

 

[Paolo305613]

One of those back to earth type games for RIchardson - though too many of our guys are struggling at this point

We have Orlando coming up and then the Nets and the Orlando again on the second night of a B2B so a chance for the Heat to bounce back again assuming no more guys go down

 

[Paolo305613]

Phoenix Suns released Mike James last night - any interest?

Yeah which is why I'm not going too crazy over this one. I'm just glad we won 2 games this and only play one game in the next 6 days. I have to think we'll have most of our guys (excluding Waiters) back by next Friday.

17-16. I'll take it.

Several interesting twists on Heat's latest injury report, most notably with Hassan Whiteside (knee) upgraded to questionable. On the flip side., James Johnson again is listed as out due to ankle bursitis. Waiters (ankle), Winslow (knee) also out. Dragic (elbow) is probable

Disappointing that it seems JJ hurt himself by playing on Saturday. Should have sat out since that game against that team was almost a guaranteed L.

If Hassan is a go then we should win tomorrow. Without Hassan, it will be tough especially now with Waiters out.

 

[Paolo305613]

Big V is out for Orlando - does that even things out if Hassan is out in your opinion?

 

[Paolo305613]

Per local media outlets, Waiters MRI came back clean - Hassan will warm up with intent to play tonight.

 

[Paolo305613]

Fournier and Gordon also out for Orlando

 

[Paolo305613]

Per Ira Winderman, Dion Waiters now talk about a possibly of surgery AFTER the season

 

[Paolo305613]

So much for Fournier being out

 

[Paolo305613]

It will like change when JJ, Winslow and Dion return, but good to see Bam, Walton Jr and Mickey get some early minutes in a game - expand that rotation

 

[Paolo305613]

Ugly first. +3 21-18 Heat after 1

 

[bksballer89]

Mickey looks awful and so does the Heat
