He's hurt. Having surgery

 

[Paolo305613]

Winslow already missed his first of what hopefully won't be many jumpers taken on the night

 

[Paolo305613]

He's hurt. Having surgery

OK, my bad. I missed that part

 

[Paolo305613]

10-4 prior to this timeout -- it wasn't a bad start until OKC went on this run.

They are still a quality team with quality players but they are beatable if we play our game -- that includes Winslow taking less jumpers

 

[bksballer89]

This is already ugly

 

[Paolo305613]

As E-Reid said, its been too easy for OKC so far - if the Heat can do a better job at challenging their shots, we will be in better shape

 

[Paolo305613]

And-1 for your favorite JJ

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat have to defend without fouling - and of course, hope for the refs to allow them to play defense without calling a foul every time -- that will be a tough task

 

[Paolo305613]

39-28 deficit for the Heat, not good but could be a lot worse

 

[Paolo305613]

Deficit up to 11 again thanks to bogus foul calls against the Heat and things not being evenly called on the other end.

 

[Paolo305613]

Bad decision on Waiters on that pass

 

[Paolo305613]

Down just 8 at the half. Again, this could be a lot worse.

The Heat have to just stay with it and keep it close

 

[Paolo305613]

Deficit to 12 again after we got it down so far.

 

[Paolo305613]

Its time to just throw in the towel -- the Heat simply didn't have enough tonight. Any time we make a close, we shoot ourselves on the foot just as much as we get screwed by bad calls

 

[Paolo305613]

J-Rich has once again underperformed on his return from injury -- which is why I wasn't in agreement with just throwing him in there upon his return as if he never missed any time due to injury.

Bring on J-Mac and D-Will

 

[Paolo305613]

It took garbage time for Derrick Williams to get PT , go figure

 

[Paolo305613]

Spoelstra: No time for panic with Heat rotation

But there will indeed be panic over this because there is panic over this -- its the only way the Spo haters have ammo to criticize him.

It has nothing to do with Spo haters. Waiters is not starter material. James Johnson has done a better job the last few games but I would like to see Williams get some action.

Underperformed how? I'm not expecting much from him considering this is only his 2nd game back You had that much expectations for him coming off a major injury? This is a guy who missed all of training camp and preseason due to injuries. He is playing his 2nd basketball game since May. This is his preseason. He will rightfully be starting in a few weeks.

My biggest concern of all is Justice Winslow. Pretty frustrating that he had all summer and his jumpshot did not improve a lick. If we had known Wade was walking after last season, I'm pretty sure they would have gone with the better offensive SG/SF and drafted either Booker or Stanley Johnson
