[Black Adam]

Need to go to Hassan early and often

gonna be interesting to see what adjustments Spo's gonna make...

 

[Black Adam]

"let's go Heat" like y'all used to say back on CBS...

at least make it a good game...

One would think.

 

[Black Adam]

huh...

didn't know Hal Greer died...

In hindsight it's easy to go back and laugh at Ezeli being selected before Draymond. But they both went to the same team. And if we want to laugh at the Dubs for selecting Draymond in the 2nd, we can laugh at every other team for not selecting him before that.

my point is that if they really felt draymond would become anything close to what hes become- they wouldnt of taken Ezeli in front of him.

It is what it is- Draymond was a tweener that dropped in the draft since there were concerns he didnt have a true position--- but he developed a 3pt shot and amazing defense.

refs take dragic out on a weak foul

 

[bksballer89]

this guy spo is so clueless

 

[Black Adam]

Mecca, the Heat could use some o' your magic...

Dragic already got 2 fouls on him...

Don't make me rehash why players shouldn't be able to foul out of games.

 

[bksballer89]

Not a single post touch for Hassan in the first 7+ minutes.

You guys wonder why I think Spo is a shit coach?

KO is coming in and Whiteside wiould have played 8 first quarter minutes with not one post touch.

Fuck this guy

 

[bksballer89]

3 Heat players with 2 fouls less than 9 minutes into the game. One of them is a bench player.

Should have expected this. Tony Brothers is officiating.

Clean strip by Ellington is somehow called a foul lol

 

[Black Adam]

Don't make me rehash why players shouldn't be able to foul out of games.

definitely think it should be raised to 7 fouls before you're done, though a good chunk of folks argue against that...

 

[Iggloo]

The Heat look desperate already. Two fouls each for Dragic and Whiteside early, this could get ugly for Miami.

 

[bksballer89]

8 fouls for Miami

0 fouls for Philly

Philly is good enough on their own where they don't need assistance from these 3 clowns

 

[Heatles84]

the thing is, though, that Draymond probably becomes Draymond if he was selected by most of the other teams in the league.

I agree

 

[Iggloo]

It's clear Spo told his guys to get physical, contest everything etc, and it is backfiring because they are drawing a lot of dumb fouls.

 

[flyerhawk]

The offensive fouls by the Heat are going to cost them. They need to be able to create without getting that physical.

That Ellington foul call was funny. I didn't know Tony Brothers was officiating tonight....it makes sense.

As far as Whiteside, yeah.....everytime Spo makes himself out to be a good coach, he does things like not go to the one advantage that we have over Philly at the moment - a dominant big that they can't defend.

Spo's playing small ball with Philly whom has more talent. We should be feeding Whiteside down low.

But Whiteside looks all but checked out at this point. Can't honestly fault him as I'd be frustrated too. You know he's going to get traded.

Some are dumb like Winslow's to Illyasova. Others like Ellington's are horse shit calls.

Freaking Heat need to get it together.
