Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread - March

This team is going to get destroyed

Turnover by Napier and Diva makes no effort to play defense on the fast break - doing his best impression of Scrub Battier as a one-dimensional player who only tries on offense and makes zero effort on defense

 

[Paolo305613]

500th career game for Rio

 

[bksballer89]

I really like Tyler Johnson

 

[Paolo305613]

Always worth noting, another lousy crowd at the arena tonight - with the Heat temporarly out of the playoff picture - thats what you expect from this bandwagon fan base - of course the transit system is shut down until tomorrow morning for repairs but stiill a typical lousy home crowd

 

[Paolo305613]

I really like Tyler Johnson

Until he has a bad stretch - then you trash him

 

[Paolo305613]

100 steals for Rio - 3rd straight year , done it multiple times in his career of course -

 

[Paolo305613]

Henry Walker gives up a 3 with the clock running out - Scrub Battier must be in the building - he made a career out of giving up those shots with the Heat

 

[Paolo305613]

Charge for Henry Walker

 

[Paolo305613]

There he is .. Our great HC - Spo - the man who led his team to the best improved season in NBA history with a 28 game improvement and a trip to the playoffs. Further proving Spo is the right man for the job - And can put together a damaging team if his best players arent injured or unnecessarily sitting out games

 

[Paolo305613]

Another careless pass by the careless diva turns into a turnover

 

[Paolo305613]

Typical Diva, puts up a weak shot expecting a foul, doesnt get it, complains to refs - another day at the office for Diva

 

[Paolo305613]

I have said it many times before - worth saying again - any time Birdman has to play a lot of minutes, he looks as old as he is, if not older - He has had his run - its over for him - he is as washed up as Diva at this point

 

[Paolo305613]

Chalmers needs to come in for TJ and UD for Birdman - that would give us our best possible 5 on the court along with Diva, Beas , and maybe Napier

 

[Paolo305613]

Now is not the time for Diva to think he is a 3pt shooter

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat continuing to take unnecessary 3’s and they still cant play defense without fouling - thats whats killing them right now

 

[Paolo305613]

down 10 into the 4th - the Heat have to feel lucky - our lineup for all of the 4th quarter should be - UD, Beas, Chalmers, Wade, Napier - our best guys to get scoring with enough frequency to get us back in the game - no knock on Napier, Ennis or Walker - but given the situation, the first 5 I mentioned are our best 5 available players

 

[Paolo305613]

Not going to get it done with Ennis, TJ and Walker starting the quarter

 

[Paolo305613]

Or maybe...

 

[Paolo305613]

dumb move there by TJ to get in the way of his teammates and lose the ball out of bounds scrub battier style - oh, and as Fiorentino pointed out - great coaching move as always from Spo to go to 2-3 defense to spark this run
