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

As I always like to point out, Heat in bonus with a decent amount of time left in the quarter - the mystery, as always, to what extent do they take advantage of it to get in a rhythm early in this game

 

[Paolo305613]

Richardson turns it over late in the first almost from the same spot that he turned it over last night to lose us the game.

Oh, and he is already making his presence felt shooting 2-7 from the field. Already shooting more than he should.

Still, just -1 after 1 for the Heat

 

[Paolo305613]

On a positive note, a good start for DJ Jr

 

[Paolo305613]

Good start for K.O. as well

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat again in bonus with 9+ to go in the second -- crucial for the Heat to make use of it considering this is the quarter they had their meltdown last night

Tyler Johnson is so bad

 

[Paolo305613]

DJ Jr has to work on those free throws ASAP

 

[bksballer89]

Putting your worse defender on John Wall is incredibly dumb

 

[Paolo305613]

Will either of these two teams have enough players available to finish the game with all these fouls?(kidding a little bit.... but maybe not for long?

 

[Paolo305613]

-1 into the half for the Heat.

The story for why they are down, even by the minimum - the same story as usual(IMO):Turnovers, too many 3's, inefficient from the FT line

 

[Paolo305613]

But at least they have a little more going for them into the half than last night to give them a chance in the second half of what hopefully won't be another close game.

 

[Paolo305613]

17 FT attempts for the Heat vs 18 from 3 but the Heat aren't making them enough. Heat need to attempt at least 5-10 more FT attempts than 3's by games end to give themselves a shot if this remains a close one

 

[Paolo305613]

Maybe that will get Hassan going?

 

[Paolo305613]

Wizards get hit with technical for that nonsense. Heat lucky not to have DJ Jr or anyone get hit with one themselves

 

[Paolo305613]

And now Goran earns himself a silly foul for complaining

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat lead now down to 3 - their speed and ball movement keeping them in the game

 

[Paolo305613]

Wade comes in.... there goes the lead

 

[Paolo305613]

That was a bad way for Hassan to pick up his 4th foul

 

[Paolo305613]

If the heat could somehow keep Richardson out of the game in the 4th quarter... would be a great idea

 

[Paolo305613]

Would be wise not to allow Wade back in the game either
