What say you the anti"Okaro White starting experiment"?

I still think Winslow, despite an off game yesterday and Olynyk should be our starting forwards while JJ,Okaro and J-Rich come from the bench

Dion Waiters expected back for tonight

 

[Paolo305613]

But then he says this

Wednesday return for Dion

Over/under on how long the Heat can stay in this game?

 

[Paolo305613]

Off we go with the Richardson turnover

 

[Paolo305613]

-1 after 1 for Heat after some lapses on both ends in the final 2 minutes or so.

I guess we can call it a win to still be in it after 1

 

[Paolo305613]

Unnecessary technical from Spo whether he has a beef or not - you don't give the warriors free points and possession

 

[Paolo305613]

The Heat were better off when Hassan was on the bench. He comes in and insist on continuing the jump shoots even though he is struggling in the time he has played.

I blame Spo for allowing this in training camp/pre-season in allowing Hassan to mix in more jumpers and sometimes 3's . He should be preaching to the guy to play like the center that he is - he won't do it otherwise.

The Heat are a signature 3rd quarter meltdown away from letting the Warriors run away with this one - although the Warriors may already have this one locked with this late second quarter collapse that has the Heat trailing by 13 at the half

Deficit now at 20 and this one is about done

 

[Paolo305613]

Turnovers again an issue for the Heat.

They refuse to make the simple pass. They go fur the fancy crap way too much.

 

[Paolo305613]

for*

 

[Paolo305613]

He wanted to make it a one-on-one type thing and started taking bad shots(jumpers) and it contributed to his struggles and that is THE reason he deservedly got benched.

Maybe next time he will play like the center that he is.

I always complain about a lack of attacking to the basket by the Heat but this stat obviously proves otherwise.

That being said, how many of these attacks actually result in a basket or at least FT chances? I am betting that number is low compared to other teams and that is what needs to improve.

 

[Paolo305613]

MIGHT explain his off night last game?

 

[Paolo305613]

Been saying it for a long time now - make the simple passes rather than trying to be so flashy
