Game Thread: Miami Heat Month of November Game Thread

[bksballer89]

Amazing. 15 games into the season and after essentially blowing a 23 point lead on the road, we FINALLY beat a team with a winning record.

Richardson did not have a good game and showing what a waste of money he maybe. Thank goodness Whiteside came to play and thank goodness they shot so poorly in the first half. Some bad plays down the stretch and questionable calls by the coach. Amazed they did not feed Whiteside more. Instead he is not even there on last offensive possession. A win is a win though.

He wasn't on the floor for the last offensive possession because of his ft %. He is at 69% which is solid for him but not good enough to have on the floor when the opponent must foul. All the players on the court were 75% or higher.

A win is a win as you said. Now we go home to face the Pacers before the red hot celtics come to town. Hopefully we're able to beat Indy and enter that Boston game 8-8

Led by Hassan Whiteside, Heat interior defense has been elite | Heat Zone

Same starters for heat because Heat

Walton has rejoined team and is active

 

[Paolo305613]

Pacers finding the obvious mismatches on every possession and making heat pay

 

[Paolo305613]

TUrnovers still an issue but at least heat get something going here

 

[Paolo305613]

-2 after 1 after a little mistake there at end of quarter for heat . Still in this game for now

 

[Paolo305613]

Ellington and even JJ sparking the early comeback

The defense on Turner is such a joke. They're running the same stinking pick and pop for him. If Whiteside can't guard the pick and pop then put Winslow on Turner.

-3 at the half after inexplicably allowing a three from turner and a classic JJ turnover that aided those points . I think Richardson may have contributed there as well for good measure


It’s these end of the second quarter unforced mistakes the heat make that lead to them having zero momentum to work with at the start of the second half .

I’m sure many are enjoying the Hassan -turner matchup — but the heat need to find a way to neutralize him or it’s trouble . Pacers won’t win if we can neutralize him .

Still don’t care for The moments Hassan plays away from the paint . He needs to get inside and do work

 

[Paolo305613]

An unsurprising start to half

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat shot selection suggest they’ve quit

 

[bksballer89]

Getting embarrassed by the Pacers at home.

Currently -15 in this quarter.

 

[Paolo305613]

Reíd and Fiorentini need to stop suggesting we should beat certain teams as if the heat are good enough to underestimate an opponent — clearly not good enough

 

[bksballer89]

2 free throws tonight. What a joke

Getting embarrassed by the Pacers at home.

Currently -15 in this quarter.

Makes it laughable to me that I saw somewhere the heat were favored in this game probably because of “Home court advantage “ as if that is valued by the heat or even matters

 

[Paolo305613]

2 free throws tonight. What a joke

A joke but another not so surprising occurrence. This team is content on settling for jumpers

 

[bksballer89]

They just keep settling for shitty shots

 

[bksballer89]

8 3rd quarter points through 10 minutes of action

 

[Paolo305613]

JJ hurting heat now . This collapse coming full circle

 

[bksballer89]

This isn't a playoffs team.
