A typical non-sell-out crowd at AAArena tonight... lets see what excuse the apologist can come up with tonight

????? 20,600 tonight was the largest crowd of the year. Still lost the 3rd quarter and thanks to Wade's clutch play, we won. A strong game from Bosh helped.

The actual crowd was actually half of that.

As to losing the third quarter - The heat only lost it by 4 and lost the 4th quarter by 1 - But they did win the first quarter and tie in the second. Fact of the matter is, Deng, Whiteside and Bosh came up big for us to win the game - Wade decided to make himself useful finally for once towards the end but made some bone-headed plays in the process of which he will obviously get a pass for by the apologist.

Rebounding and block shots by Whiteside was what helped the most as we turned the ball over still way too much - missed too many FTs and 3’s still.

It is again worth mentioning how the complaints go away when they win - though still a little sad the credit isnt equally distributed to the deserving parties

OK, OK...largest Heat crowd of the season! Congrats to the Fans, 26 by Bosh - congrats to him, 25, 7,6 and 2 to Wade and clutch play -- thanks Wade, and Hassan with a solid game. And yes Spolestra's halftime adjustments were not so bad...only lost the 3rd by 4 rather than 18 to 20 so there you have some progress I guess. At least, he has learned not to have Chalmers and Cole in together. Maybe Napier gets called up.

Congrats to bksballer for calling this game and congrats to you pigeon for watching this game during an awesome NFL playoff game.

I told you this team for whatever reason cannot beat us.

Anyway Whiteside was really good. If he keeps this up I wouldn't mind replacing Bird in the starting lineup for him.

Our point guards were shit again. Our offense was shit again in the 2nd half. Wade & Bosh were good as always.

In other words nothing changed....we just got lucky

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Had nothing to do with our defense tonight....again... go figure

Very little.
We pretty much just hope teams miss perimeter.shots.


Whiteside will make a difference near the rim if he can stay out of foul trouble.

 

[Heatles84]

I'm liking Whiteside, he's a gem. Definitely has a bright future.

PG play has plagued us this year. Having a legit PG wasn't necessary when we had Lebron. Now? We're seeing what happens when we don't have someone who's a competent ball distributor.

Wade was ridiculous again last night.

2 good things about this season

1) wade proved that he's not some washed up bum. The man is 8th in scoring and shooting over 50 percent.

2) Bosh proving he can still score consistently also.

We have the 8th & 12 leading scorers in the league. If they were surrounded with better players we would be a top 5 team
