Game Thread: Miami Heat Week 5-6 Game Thread

Shabazz was Shabad tonight - would not have played much if Diva Wade had not made Norris Cole sick

They play better on the road. I don't think they do that terrible on this trip. They're either going to come home 1 game over .500 or 1 game under .500

What I'm saying is that they go 2-3 or 3-2 on this trip

LOL. You also said they would be 3-1 this week and they are 0-2 headed to play a Bucks team on the road that has been playing well and that has already beaten us at home. We may not win a game this week.

The good news....

1. Bosh has 20 plus and 10 plus.
2. Chalmers with a double/double.
3. We got 100 at home.
4. Wade got his 28 points and season high.

the rest not so good.....I am beginning to wonder if we make the playoffs. Seriously.

The East is bad so I think we do. The only really good teams in the East are Chicago, Toronto, Cleveland, and Washington. We're probably a 5 or 6 seed. I think Atlanta is better than us also but after that I don't see anyteam (except maybe Brooklyn) that can be better than us after 82 games. Milwaukee will fade away soon. NY, Charlotte, Orlando, Detroit, & Philly are all trash

Yep real dumb to take a 3 when your team is down 10 with a minute to go. I'm sure a 2 pointer would've made it a closer game than a made 3

yes its dumb when its coming from some fucking idiot that isnt even a decent 3pt shooter and isnt even shooting from inside enough - its even more dumb when there is no real shot at winning the game even with the amount of time and margin - game was lost when diva started missing so many shots early and being careless as usual with the ball and on defense

Na I said 2 of 3. I don't think we have a chance in Memphis but I thought we would've beaten Atlanta and Milwaukee

Wade, Bosh, and Chalmers are the only players we can count on to score points nightly on this team.

Deng has been a major disappointment.

 

[bksballer89]

Wade, Bosh, & Rio scored 74 of the 102 points tonight.

In other words the rest of the team was shit.

Wade shot over 50%. Don't be clueless. This game was lost with bad turnovers and a horrible, horrible defensive effort. Over 55% shooting, forced over 18 turnovers, and still lost their 4th at home by double digits. So who has the worst defense? The Heat or Hurricanes.

Spolestra better coach these boys up.

Deng has been a major disappointment.

He is not playing well with our guys...not sure he is fitting in so well yet.....

Thing about Deng is he's not a guy who you can just give it to him and let him go to work (like we can do with Wade and Bosh). For him to be successful here, there needs to be a lot of movement without the ball and of course he nees to make his spot up jumpshots

 

[Paolo305613]

What a great night of basketball

 

[bksballer89]

Say what you want about Wade but here are his numbers in the last 7 games

23.5 PPG & 5.7 APG on 57% shooting.

The issue really is defense. Wade and Chalmers have scored much, but their defense has been very suspect. Same with Ennis....

 

[Paolo305613]

sprained wrist is the official word on Deng

 

[Paolo305613]

X-rays negative - oh, and the Heat lose another game in the weak southeast division

 

[Andresrenee]

Spolestra saying that the answer is in the locker room as far as the defense is concerned. Seems like our guards just are not playing defense and it is causing breakdowns for easy baskets and open 3s. Teague with 27, Korver with 18 and Schroder with 16.

We could be the 4th best team in our division....LOL.

The whole team defense is an issue but it does start with all the perimeter defenders as they're getting beating too easy which leads to penetration and open 3's.

 

[bksballer89]

4th? How?

Orlando & Charlotte are not close to being on our level....and that say a lot about how bad they are especially Charlotte.

Washington and Atl are better

 

[Andresrenee]

What I saw in the 1st quarter was a Hawk's team that was way more intense on defense in the 1st quarter than everyone starting for the Heat other than Bosh and Deng. Just not seeing effort on D from others. Probably spoiled from the last 4 years. There is a new reality and they better get it down.
