Heat +4 at the half

Wade not playing well to start with and Hassan in foul trouble - Winslow continuing his emergence

 

[NP15]

This Winslow emergence is making me pretty hot and bothered

Hopefully some decent PT for Ellington

8-1 start for the Timberwolves - slow start for the Heat tonight - they need to get their act together and save the day - college and pro-football have been evil to me today.

 

[Paolo305613]

An embarrassing start for the Heat -11 after 1 - turnovers an early issue for the Heat

 

[Paolo305613]

And Wade misses an easy lay up to start the quarter - of course, he shouldve dunked it instead considering he had the basket all to himself but he is so weak.

 

[Paolo305613]

Winslow already making his now usual impact

 

[Paolo305613]

-1 at the half for the Heat - its one of those games I feel comfortable saying that the Heat are lucky to be down just 1 considering

 

[Paolo305613]

Towns and the rest of the Timberwolves just owning the Heat and the Heat looking like there is little they can and will do about it so far

 

[Paolo305613]

-9 after 3 for the Heat and this game has more of a feel like it could soon starter getting away from the Heat than their chances of turning it around

I don't get why you don't go with Bam/Whiteside for a few minutes with the amount of offensive rebounds Minnesota are grabbing

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat cut deficit to 5 by Towns will probably be brought back in to the game after this timeout to close it out

 

[Paolo305613]

As I said, KT brought back in and restores order for Minnesota - The Heat haven't had a response all night - don't expect them to find one now

That's on the coaches. The guy is obviously on fire. Leaving your defenders on an island and sending zero help is on the head coach.

As E-Reid is saying, if the Heat do lose tonight, the turnovers will be the obvious story - nothing else. Its the turnovers, not necessarily which guys are out there at what point or whatever.

Not defending the coach, although you will probably say I am - but - in part it is certainly on the coach but thats assuming the coach is really doing nothing on the bench to address the situation - I have to believe they are -- execution is also an important part of the equartion many tend to ignore -- its a factor.

 

[bksballer89]

The Heat are putting on a clinic on how to not win a basketball game. Horrible basketball all over.

As the commentators said several times already, this is how they were playing when they went 7-13 in the first 20 games

 

[bksballer89]

Nights like this is when I wish Spo would give Ellington a 5-7 minute run. We could have really use one of those Ellington spurts he is able to go on.

Offense was lacking tonight
