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

[Paolo305613]

Another turnover-inspired slow start to the half for the Hat now down 9 -- James Johnson continues to be an infectious disease for the Heat. Bad things happen to the Heat when he touches the ball.

This one about to be over for the Heat - now they cant defend without fouling either

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat making a late third quarter run - but might end up being one of those that come just too late given the deficit

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat cut the deficit to 7 into the 4th

 

[Paolo305613]

bad turnover from Hassan there

 

[Paolo305613]

Pacers dagger

 

[Paolo305613]

This one is finally over.

The fall back to reality continues for the Heat - they are right where they deserve to be.

 

[Paolo305613]

Another off night for Waiters. And just a typical night for the useless, overrated bum that is James Johnson.

Battier next?

 

[Paolo305613]

He gets away again. Heat have just never valued him in the way that they shouldve - while overvaluing bums like James Johnson. Hopefully he does well out there -- and for his own good, closes the door on the Heat as they keep doing it to him.

 

[Paolo305613]

Battier next?

If they decide to name their bathrooms or basement, they can surely honor him then.

A necessary bounce back win for the heat

 

[Paolo305613]

The Heat continue their run of stupidity in giving up on the wrong players - Heat have traded Tyler Johnson and Wayne Ellington to Phoenix for Ryan Anderson.

No disrespect to R.A. as he is a guy I thought we shouldve acquired via free agency some time ago - but giving up two key pieces - even though one is a guy they have inexplicably given up on -- is just dumb.

The Heat just keep doing things for the purposes of dumping salary rather than trying to actually improve the team now and in the future.

Deadline is not until 3 PM tomorrow -- so the Heat still have about 23-24 hours or so to continue to be cheap and dismantle the team.

 

[Paolo305613]

Ellington will be waived by the Suns to allow him to go to a contender.

Maybe the Heat should waive the rest of the team for them to go to a contender if they don't plan on trying to win this season.

 

[Paolo305613]

Would be nice if the Heat did this - these two guys deserve a real shot to showcase their worth. But knowing how cheap the Heat are, maybe they are afraid of giving these guys a chance to shine because they may make themselves to "expensive" for the Heat down the line.

 

[Paolo305613]

Trade deadline finally passes without the Heat further dismantling the team.

 

[Paolo305613]

The love birds are together once more.

 

[Paolo305613]

Fitting if Ellington hits one of those buzzer beating 3’s at the end of a quarter the heat like to give up — and takes them out of playoff contention. He probably shoots it in Wade’s face while getting fouled .

 

[Paolo305613]

The question now is whether or not he actually gets PT tonight and in the future or if he is just being brought up to warm the bench -- its the Heat, so the latter is the more likely scenario.
