Knowing the heat , he is probably just being signed to warm the bench . The heat will probably never give him a minute of PT even though he’s earned his way .
Another wasted possession by Richardson -- had the drive in open basket after getting the ball - elects for the long range shot -- Heat basketball back in full force.
Whats not right is their approach and how they handle the situation. It seems pretty clear that they don't practice/emphasize FT shooting in practice/shoot-around.
The Heat are a live and die by the 3pt shot at all cost. It seems clear they spend more time in practice/shoot-around jacking up 3s rather than working on FTs and taking care of the ball.
Just because its getting close to the end of the season, and its beginning to slip away -- does not mean the Heat should continue to look for excuses and others to blame for their issue. At some point these guys have to realize their on-going issues and actually fix them -- not just talk about it.
Its cowardly how these guys continue to make excuses for their on-going mistakes rather than actually working on fixing them. The Heat have let opponents dictate the flow of the game all season long -- they are where they deserve to be. They've earned their current spot in the standings.
