Game Thread: Miami Heat October/November Game Thread

[Paolo305613]

Same starters for the Heat tonight -James Ennis and Josh Richardson inactive - which means Amare available tonight - whether he plays remains to be seen -. No Shumpert or Kyrie for team Queen James as both are inactive.

Hopefully we get to see some of Richardson soon - Ennis and TJ should be the regulars on the inactive list all season long barring multiple injuries. Just based on Amare's presence, whether he plays or not, we are that much deeper of a team tonight

A couple of Heat related game notes

Chris Bosh -Has 68 double-doubles as a member of the HEAT, just one shy from tying P.J. Brown (69) for 10th place on Miami’s all-time list.

Wade
Is just two dunks shy from his 1,000th career dunk.

Dragic:
Became just the fourth player in NBA history 6’4” or under to average at least .500 FG% & connect on 1.0 3FGM in multiple seasons.

Josh Richardson and Chris Andersen inactive for Heat. We could be seeing a Birdman-Stoudemire tag team when it comes to backup center.

Per Ira Winderman - I think he is confused - he is suggesting we see Birman tonight but he is inactive along with Richardson. Earlier it was Ennis and Richardson inactive

 

[Paolo305613]

UD, CB and Wade elected captains for the season

Hopefully Whiteside can cut down on the bad fouls and terrible long jump shots and Spoles wont have to get away from him so early. Should be an easier night on him not having to deal with Al Jefferson and his low post abilities. I really hope Whiteside can break through this year, and he played much better in the second half last night.. but man he started the game looking like complete trash.

On a side note. Justise Winslow is winning the ROY. That's my one game synopsis.

These are the only two reasons he got away from him so early - it was obviously justified.

 

[Paolo305613]

Winslow can certainly accomplish that and be All-Rookie every thing this season

I think he means they'll rotate games. ....not play together

 

[Paolo305613]

You are correct. I got confused there

 

[Paolo305613]

Expect some Winslow v Queen James tonight? Will be interesting to see how Winslow does here defensively

 

[bksballer89]

Not a bad start

 

[Flauge]

Winslow D-ing up LeBron pretty good there. LeBron can shoot fade aways all night. You got to give him something. He can have that. Very impressed with Winslow so far.

Yeah no complaints. He's also not going for James pump fakes

 

[bksballer89]

Not terrible but need to play better. Amare defense sucks

 

[Paolo305613]

Not a good first quarter - but at least no foul trouble for Hassan though close a few times. I am sure now that we are losing and not playing all that great there will surely be some complaining and Spo criticism coming in here tonight

 

[Paolo305613]

Now the key to this game is finishing the half as best as possible to make it close in the last two quarters or we could be blown out

 

[bksballer89]

Missing way too many open shots fro 3

 

[Paolo305613]

Small run here for the Heat

 

[Paolo305613]

taking too many shots from 3 - too early for it

 

[bksballer89]

Whiteside really need to stop shooting these jumpshots.
