Game Thread: Miami Heat Month of November Game Thread

We look bad

Indeed. We are a mediocre team. The excuse during the last road game was that we were tired. So we get a couple of days off and play at home and come out flat. Let’s see if they can bring more energy but I just don’t think this team with the cats now well fed and not hungry will just not give the same effort on defense and it has shown. We have a bunch of JAGs who have not been consistent this year. Hope they get it together and make it exciting. Right now, just eh. Plenty of time though.

Yeah the defense been a disappointment

Bad habits are contagious too. This is the issue with the Heat -- too many guys just not doing their job as needed.

Maybe its just me but I think a lot of it is on Spo for allowing these guys to play a little too freely on both ends.

He is looking a lot like Adam Gase(Dolphins coach) to me so far this season. A lot of talk and pointing out of the teams mistakes but not enough of trying to fix

 

[Paolo305613]

And we have the wizards again on Friday... just not right

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat lose that quarter by a point but down 12 anyway. I guess at least its not 22... yet

 

[Andresrenee]

60 plus given up at home in first half after a break. Waiters out of control, Winslow eh, Hassan just getting numbers and Dragic’s shooting off. Down 12 at home but feels insurmountable based on our play versus theirs.

Spo’s adjustments coming up!!!!!! Yesssss

 

[bksballer89]

This team doesn't value the ball at all

 

[Paolo305613]

So a good start to second half for heat...

 

[Paolo305613]

not breaking news

 

[bksballer89]

Impressive first 6+ minutes of the quarter

 

[Paolo305613]

+3 now into the 4th for Heat... wow

 

[bksballer89]

James Johnson continue his careless mistakes

 

[Paolo305613]

This one is just about over. Heat didn't have enough - reacting way too late and just not enough

 

[Paolo305613]

James Johnson continue his careless mistakes

But Spo will continue to play him 30+ minutes because he's so " versatile" What he is is a little overrated. He needs to learn how to play like the PF that he is and stop trying to be a ball handler and outsider shooter because its not working - its only hurting the team

Same story different game. Can't expect to be a successful team if you're constantly approaching 20 turnovers.

Totally agree but what did they expect? Lighting to strike twice in the same place? JJ regressing to his average and team showing why it is probably wise to carry two true point guards. Team will likely be 3 to 5 games under 500 after the Celtics game. May have been overrated as a playoff team.

James Johnson played 26 minutes for some weird reason tonight.

This team would be so much better if they cut down the turnovers

 

[Paolo305613]

I think Spo will be upset he didn't play JJ 30+ minutes tonight to contribute more to the loss

Because he's so versatile and does so much for the team... load of shit that is

I don't know about all that. We usually play Washington well as we saw once again tonight. I could easily see a situation where we win on Friday in Washington and beat Indiana on Sunday which would leave us at 8-8.
