38 4th quarter points.

thats another thing that hurt the Heat here - Dragic disappearing this half

Yes...he was on the bench too long in the 4th. Blew the momentum and we got spanked at home by 10 plus. 38 points given up in the 4th....wow.

This was a bad all around performance by the coaches and the players. Levine outplayed Wade. FTs were awful. Horrible turnovers and coach plays rotations that allow their bench to outscore ours 50-13.

You are going to want to buy a seasons worth of vaseline to rub on your vaginal walls for the rest of the seasonn if " rotations" are going to cause you vaginal aches so often - like it or not, this is the way he has handled sub patterns all season to this point - its resulted in some wins and some losses - it happens. But again, buy yourself at least a seasons long supply of vaseline for your vaginal aches for when this happens because more of this is to come

McRoberts had a +/- of -18 and Green +/- was -8 and scored a total of 2 points tonight

Those 2 guys played the first half of the 4th quarter. For what reason? I don't know.

Winslow and Whiteside missed 12 of our 16 fts tonight.

We must win our final 3 games of this homestand against the Kings, Sixers, and Knicks or else this would be a failure and a pretty big missed opportunity

LOL. No Mo, Spo.......Thought he was getting the feel for the game thing this year as he was leaving in rotations that worked and then he blew it this game experimenting with Green who was a total liability on defense and mediocre on offense and got his starters totally out of a ryhtem and allowed the other team to get hot. Heat drop from 3rd to 6th in standings and blew a nice opportunity as the Cavs lost. The Eastern conference will not be a cake walk this year. Losing winnable games at home could prove costly in terms of playoff positioning.

Johnson was bad tonight. Green was bad. McRoberts was bad.

Yet Mr. Spo thought it was a good decision to have Dragic, Whiteside, and Deng on the bench for most of the 4th even though their replacements played like ass tonight lol

2 of 3 at least. Missed opportunities for sure. The Kings could give us trouble as could the Knicks. Hope we don't underestimate the Sixers. Hope Spolestra does not go with a line up of McRoberts, Green and Johnson.

No such thing as feel for the game. Thats players job. They are the ones on court with ball in hand.

Don't blame Spo.....he just gets paid millions to determine things like rotations and substitutions. This one honestly not so much on him given the disaster which was our free throw shooting and turnovers but honestly some of those turnovers were caused by rotations.

You are right if nimrod wants to play McRoberts, Green and Johnson on a night where they can't do anything right, then it is totally on that star studded lineup to make it work. No Mo...Spo.

 

[Paolo305613]

Doesn't surprise me TJ had a bad game - said it during his first game after the Rio trade - there will be times in the season that he will play badly and not worry about looking over his shoulder about losing his job/minutes/spot in rotation with Chalmers gone. Surely, he simply struggled tonight but some complacency played a role as well.

The reason I'm blaming Spo a bit is because he had Johnson, Green, and McRoberts in for the first 5+ minutes of the 4th which was when Minny got back in the game. If he had 2 of those 3 on the bench, I believe were able to keep the lead we had going to the 4th and possibly increase it

Like I said, and have said and will say all season and as we WILL see all season - the same guys will play in the same or similar situations all if not most of the season -- barring injuries -- at the end of the day, the guys out there have to get the job done - if they do - your ass wouldn't be hurting about this. Its that simple.

 

[Paolo305613]

On to face SacTo on Thursday. Another young, talented, up and coming team with hunger like Minnesota. Interested to see how Rondo plays

I agree with you. I was being sarcastic. Bosh was -36. the second unit was bad. Deng and Whiteside were plus 10 and plus 11. They both should not have been out at the same time tonight.

Wade and Winslow were not good. 11 turnovers combined. Wade did not play D well tonight or shot well and Winslow shoot FTs like Howard and Shaq.

Oh, and one more thing, I know its not the cool thing to give the other team credit - its much cooler in here to place blame on the heat coaches - but, credit to the Wolves for the Hack-A-Hassan strategy that worked greatly to their advantage. Lets see if the Heat work on their FTs before next game.

 

[Paolo305613]

To steal the sentiment of the not so great Bill Bellicheat, we are on to Sacramento - or, rather, on to thursday at home vs Sacramento

Agreed outcoached tonight!!! The schedule sets up well for the next two games as we are playing sub 500 teams at home coming into our games on the 2nd night of a back to back. If we can't win the next two and be 8-4 going into the Knicks game, this homestand could be a failure.

Doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to intentionally foul a shitty ft shooter when you're up in the final 5 minutes of the 4th. This game was won long before that
