Game Thread: Miami Heat Regular Season Game Thread For Months Of October and November

on a better note, Heat +11 after 1 but got a little lackluster at the end

Is Spo ever going to play Ellington? Serious question.

Dude did not play all preseason due to an injury and you can't find 7-10 minutes so he can get some game action?

 

[bksballer89]

Ellington looks so unhappy on the bench. Can't blame him.

Should have took more money instead of being loyal to be a bench warmer

 

[Paolo305613]

Good decision by TJ there to take it to the basket -- that is EXACTLY and the ONLY kind of shots her needs to be taking until he can get himself going. If he insist on settling for shots -- he will continue to struggle.

Heat winning +10 and playing well - lets enjoy the moment and not spew this kind of nonsense rhetoric at this point. Also, I would have to disagree with him looking unhappy -- frustrated maybe which I think is how any player would feel about not getting PT whether they are healthy or not.

9 players have played so far and all are contributing as needed so far.

Maybe the Heat will turn this into a blowout and he at least gets garbage time minutes -- or, even better -- the Heat take care of business with these 9 guys and the other can just continue to rest for when they are really needed

A 9 man rotation with this roster is dumb. 10 man rotation at minimum. Possibly 11.

K.O. for 3 and Ellington one of the first off the bench to celebrate -- don't think he is all that unhappy.

I don't disagree with expanding the rotation -- always advocate for that but it is what it is

 

[Paolo305613]

That wasn't a great sequence for the Heat by Wade

 

[Paolo305613]

Tied at 51 at the half - turnovers the ONLY thing keeping SAC in the game

Yeah this is a deep roster with about half of the roster playing the same 2 positions. Going with a deeper rotation in the regular season can only help IMO

Would be nice if we had a 3 pt specialist to turn to in moments like this.....

 

[Paolo305613]

As Eric Reid said, the Kings are taking control of this game by playing THEIR game - while the Heat have reverted to jacking up 3's recklessly and can't even get to the free throw line

I don't think Tim Hardaway wants to come out of retirement

 

[Andresrenee]

Have not seen these 3rd quarter struggles in a while. Agree that Ellington can provide spark. At least we are at home but missing free brows like this may make it difficult to stay in the game.

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat in bonus midway through the quarter - but highly unlikely they take advantage of it -- just not what they do

Bad shooting night - 42 percent from field, 32 percent from 3 and 50’percsnt from line. Looking like 500 at home barring a turnaround.

 

[Paolo305613]

The Heat doing everything possible to lose this game... and its working now down 17 -- Wade is off tonight and shouldn't be playing at this point

 

[Andresrenee]

These boys forgot to play defense. Seems like we could not adjust once they got rolling. Down 17 at home to a mediocre west coast time. Disappointing. They are who they are though.
