-2 after 1

-2 at the half. Once again, too many 3 attempts vs not enough FT attempts + turnovers is what is keeping the Heat from leading and having control of this game

 

[Paolo305613]

Enough of this nonsense. Take over time has arrived for the Heat

 

[Paolo305613]

+12 after 3 after the usual great half time adjustments by the winningest coach in Heat franchise history

 

[Paolo305613]

+16 now . this one is over. time to get ready for tomorrow

 

[Paolo305613]

Goran from broward county

 

[Paolo305613]

Lets do it again tomorrow afternoon

Actually, its worth noting - great game from Hassan on defense aside from the offense. The 4 blocks were great as you would expect, but he was really locked in on defense today like he hasnt in a while. Changing shots, being disruptive -- just finding multiple ways to be productive on defense beyond the blocks

Good stints from Winslow

Bam continues to trend upward and showing how special of a talent he is and can be.

Fiorentino said that the Heat would NEED JJ to play well in order to win - he sucked the entire game and the heat won with ease , of course.

Now, on to tomorrow afternoon.

Lets get it

That was a fun 2nd half all around. 1st half was shaky but they did a great job of not staying close and not going down double digits

 

[Paolo305613]

Per Ira Winderman:

The Heat will not be making a move at todays deadline for signing players to two contract this season, leaving Derrick Jones Jr and Derrick Walton KR as their two-way players.

Also

Heat have not formally commented, but expect by the end of the day they will confirm applying for the 5.5 million disabled-player exception for Dion Waiters' absence. Today is the deadline to apply

 

[Paolo305613]

Again, as Ira reported earlier, Heat settle on Jones and Walton as their final two-way players of the season.

 

[Paolo305613]

-3 into this first timeout for Heat. Sloppy on defense as has become customary of late -- at least to start games

 

[Paolo305613]

-7 after 1 after a near buzzer beating 3 given up by the Heat

Once again, turnovers and defense and lack of FT attempts a problem for Heat.

Need to get right soon

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat starting to get it together midway through the second +1 for now into this timeout

 

[Paolo305613]

Another end of quarter meltdown for the Heat puts them at -7 at the half - assisted by yet another terrible foul by Richardson on a scrub battier moment - An assist of sorts by JJ on the other end with a bad turnover that led to that basket.

As I said after the first quarter, turnovers, bad defense and a lack of FT attempts a problem again for Heat.

Ongoing stupidity would be an unacceptable reason for the winning streak to end.

Heat have to clean things up at the half and fix these issues to have a chance

 

[Paolo305613]

Goran was named ECF player of the week.. will need that kind of magic this afternoon to comeback in this one

 

[Paolo305613]

Hassan needs to sit if he is gonna keep shooting jumpers - no business EVER taking those

 

[Paolo305613]

And now TJ is down but somehow his horrific ball handling and forced plays that lead to turnovers and points on the other end must be stopped somehow... its unfortunate to be down another player

 

[Paolo305613]

More jumpers from Hassan... bench his ass already

 

[Paolo305613]

And now JJ, a PF, continues to settle for 3 -14 now for the Heat... this one could be just about over now
