Game Thread: Miami Heat month of January Game Thread

Explosive 4th for Beas with JJ guarding him for the most part, of course

 

[Paolo305613]

And he finally makes a good play on him albeit with a hurried shot from Beas - good hustle by Ellington to go for ball.

Heat in possession now and hopefully ready to finally close this shit out

 

[Paolo305613]

One more defensive stop needed to pull this one off - I feel better about us defending the 3 regardless of how many times we foul 3pt shooters over needing to settle for a 3 to win or tie game

 

[bksballer89]

LMAO Whiteside grabs that rebound if he's in. Thanks Spo

 

[Paolo305613]

McD forces OT - J-Rich gets away with fouling another 3pt shooter and , of course -- Fiorentino calls it good defense

 

[bksballer89]

The terrible coaching from Spo has been laughable. What a joke

 

[Paolo305613]

So we are going with the " Hassan wasnt in the game at a certain point" narrative if the Heat lose?

 

[Paolo305613]

Doesnt look good for Beas

Hassan is one of the best rebounders in the league. Olynk is not. The offensive rebound that led to the game tying 3 doesn't happen with Hassan in.

Can't wait to hear Spo lame ass excuse for benching Hassan for no good reason for a 2nd straight night.

 

[Paolo305613]

Bounce back defensive play for JJ then Richardson misses a big one

 

[bksballer89]

Olynk isn't even the problem. James Johnson should not be in this game. He has played like crap.

The response shouldnt surprise anyone - He/they will justify the move to their liking regardless of what we or anyone on the outside thinks about the situation - And I love Spo/the Heat for it

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat gonna pull this off - so the Hassan SportsHoopla is meaningless at this point. On to sunday afternoon vs Utah

 

[Paolo305613]

And now its officially over - Heat go into the 5th seed from the 7th just like that.

Heat survive Spo terrible coaching.

Must be so tough for these guys to not only defeat their opponent but also to defeat their coach as well.

Spo did his best to give the Knicks that game.

 

[Paolo305613]

So, Spo basically says he went with the Hassan-less lineup because he felt it was the right move to counter what the Knicks had on the court and what they were doing - simple as that and he moves on... Nothing to it - nothing else to make of it.

Heat win... genius move

Heat putting together nice string of wins and showing grit and determination. Obviously, not against top teams but the Heat are doing what they need to do. Interesting dynamics with Whiteside and curious to see what happens with waiters. Would be nice to see this team more healthy.

I think he's opting for surgery but hope I'm wrong. But with McGruder and Winslow coming back soon, not sure how much we really need Waiters who is not 100% and won't be that way until he does this surgery

Wasnt this the same clown recently belittling Heat wins vs the lesser teams?
