Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread - March

Beasley struggling as are the Heat from 3 - they dont need to take anymore of those tonight

 

[bksballer89]

This whole starting every 2nd & 4th quarter with at least 3 of your top 4 players on the bench is beyond stupid

Andersen can be useful if he just stops trying to take shots

Of course you say that because they are currently losing - its like you expect them to play a full 48 minutes with the same guys - which if they would, you would cry about that too

LA Fakers hitting our guys in the face all game

The lead magically disappears anytime 3 of our top 4 or all 4 on the bench.

Funny how that works

You would think we have a great bench with how often since Dragic came that Spo all of sudden wants to play with 4 or 5 bench players on the court at the same time

 

[Paolo305613]

Our bench is GREAT - especially when Diva is on it - probably the only time he is ever great at this point in his career =) jokes aside - he has been decent tonight for once finally in the second half of the season - though some bone-headed plays mixed in there of course

 

[Paolo305613]

bad shot by Diva - its about that time - at least he went after the rebound

 

[Paolo305613]

Slam ! by Hassan

 

[Paolo305613]

Wade being smart and not shooting the ball late in the game, instead facilitating for teammates that will get it done - Hassan comes through again - one stop and we get this one

 

[Paolo305613]

big rebound for Hassan but now going to the line

 

[Paolo305613]

5 blocks for Hassan as well

A lot of its the mindset of how they play vs who is playing when Whiteside is on the court.
They should never, ever, shoot 3's when he's out there.
If anyone takes a closer shot and misses, he's got over a 50% chance for the rebound.

This is a HUGE IF but IF we beat Washington away from Miami on Friday, it is very possible that we enter Toronto on March 13th on a 6 game winning streak and just 2 games under .500

We have no excuse to lose to Boston, Sacramento, or Brooklyn at home. We should really be 30-34 or 31-33 entering the game next Friday in Toronto.

BTW the Bucks are a sinking ship. After they lose to GSW tonight they'll be at 29 losses which is only 4 less than what we have. 6th is still up for grabs .

 

[Paolo305613]

Are Dwyane Wade's passes a sign for hope going forward for Miami Heat? - Sun Sentinel

Or it could be a sign of giving people false hope only to let them down when it counts the most

 

[Paolo305613]

Hassan took to twitter to apologize to the fans for his FT shooting - Says a hell of a lot about this kids character for him to do such a thing. This guy just makes it impossible for anyone to root against him.

You and this fan base are the most bi-polar and schizo folks on the face of the earth. What one win does for your morale - and the overreaction of one loss, or one bad moment in a game does to the shit the comes out of you.

All this time I felt as though the Heat would get to at least the 6th seed, so the fact that we are realistically close to it doesnt surprise me - when and if we get there I wont be surprised either as I think we are at least good enough for the 6th seed. Unfortunately, beyond that might be impossible with how far behind we are already and the few games remaining

 

[Flauge]

Seeding matters little to me. It is the matchup I want. I will be happy if we can hit Cleveland, Toronto, or even Chicago round 1. All series I would really look forward to seeing.

Another home game, another lousy showing from our “fans” another non-sellout - and another point blank miss by Wade to get the game started

Comical from the guy typing away from the computer. It was actually a pretty good home crowd and the fans were into it, and the arena was loud and people were into it. Nice energy. Big games from certain players, but we only beat the Lakers by 6 at home and they are missing a ton of players. Outside defense was still bad, Spolestra had a lineup out there that almost cost us the game. Beasley was awful on the offense and defensive side. However, Wade, Hassan, Dragic and Deng saved the day. We have won some games recently, but let's not get carried away....the Knicks, Magic, 76ers, Lakers and the current version of the Suns are not world beaters. Hope we continue to improve the chemistry and the substitution patterns. Spolestra finally figured out the 3rd. he just needs to figure out some other stretches in the game now. Let's go Heat. Will be a dogfight to get a playoff spot.
