Game Thread: Miami Heat October/November Game Thread

A couple early turnovers hurting us so far. We need to correct that to get a better hold of the pace as that is also not in our favor right now

 

[Flauge]

Okay.. Teague is a solid PG. But damn how much is his agent paying these broadcasters for this ridiculous praise?

Again tonight another case of not such a good start to the quarter but a little better finish

I take it you have the unfortunate privilege of watching the game through the national broadcast? Or did I miss something said by Heat broadcasters? I tune them out every now and then as they do their share of nonsense.

 

[Paolo305613]

I always say this and I won't get tired of it, just as the Heat don't seem tired of doing it, but - They really have no business taking 3's especially when struggling to hit shots to begin with.

 

[Paolo305613]

People in here often complain how the Heat often sit both Wade and CB for long stretches and instead should use one or the other at all times when one is getting rest - Seems as though the Heat are doing that tonight, yet we are still down double digits - so...

 

[Paolo305613]

failed pump fake shot that goes missed by Wade and no foul because there wasn't one

 

[Paolo305613]

1,000 career dunks for Wade. And great play by Hassan not giving up on that previous play and going all out as always

what a bitch milsap is. Grow some balls

 

[Paolo305613]

TJ slow on D tonight. Which does not surprise me. This is why you can't get rid of Chalmers until you have found a capable replacement. TJ is good in spots, when little is asked of him - the moment too much is on his shoulders, he tends to have trouble responding

 

[Paolo305613]

I agree on Milsap, but that was certainly a flagrant, the Heat would probably be calling for a flagrant for something a lot less than that.

 

[Paolo305613]

It isn't often said in a case like this, but it is what it is... The Heat are lucky to be down just 11 at the half - it could be more.

 

[Paolo305613]

4 assist 10 turnovers for the Heat. Not very good at all

 

[Paolo305613]

13 FT attempts for Heat to 5 FT attempts. This team just has bad habits they can't seem to get rid of.

 

[Paolo305613]

Wonder if UD is chewing them out in the locker-room again? Maybe he needs some PT out there.

My issue wasn't the call. Wade was clearly going for the ball and miss. It happens. No intent at all.

Milsap reaching out trying to grab Wade's leg afterwards was cowardly

 

[Paolo305613]

I agree with you - It looked and was judged upon a lot worse than I am sure it was intended but such is life. It is certainly not the reason we are down in this game. We aren't making shots, outside of the 3pt attempts, we are taking good shots - now just need to take even better ones

 

[bksballer89]

We need to start hiding Dragic on defense.

 

[bksballer89]

Put Deng on the PG and put Dragic on the one dimensional spot up shooters

 

[Paolo305613]

We are actually making the Hawks work for their shots, except for when we turn the ball over or take bad shots ourselves - they are simply hitting their shots, even the tough and contested ones. If the Heat took better shots and better care of the ball they would certainly make this a close game - but as I said early on in the game, the Hawks have established at what pace this game would be played from the start and its one that isn't favorable to the Heat
