Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread for games for week of December 16-21

Heat win - as I said they would. Deng and Chalmers with a heck of a game

Wade carried us to victory with 28 points 5 boards and 4 assists. He was on and played good D too. Diva Wade saved the day much like Shane Battier consistently did in his 3 years with your Heat where he led us to 3 consecutive finals and 2 championships -- the only 2 in the Big 3 era!!! Yes sir!!

What I missed? Paolo still bitching about Wade? I have him on ignore so don't have to see his ignorance

Typical nonsense...calls Wade Diva and complains about everything the man does. Praises Deng consistently and then compares Wade to Battier from last year. He had predicted a bounce back week for the week so he is very proud that he got the week off to a good start after he jinxed us into losing McRoberts for the year and having Bosh out indefinitely....

lol well anyway we played well tonight excluding our near collapse towards the end of the 4th.

Wade was Wade.

Napier was good

Cole was bad

We did a good job of running them off the 3 pt line tonight even though they did miss quite a few open shots as well.

Maybe it was just me but man Bird looked good tonight

We got Utah tmr....Solid chance for our first 2 game winning streak in about 3 weeks.

We got Utah, WSH, Boston, & Philly next.

IMO there is a good chance we enter the Cleveland game having won 5 of 7 which would put us at 15-14

Birdman had himself by far his best game of the season. He was banged up but played through it - Diva Wade should take notes tonight. We all know now its a mystery whether he plays or not. Those B2B’s are just lifes most difficult task....

Is Dwyane Wade-as-leading-man being overlooked? - Sun Sentinel

 

[Paolo305613]

No its not. He had a fluke of a game. What he did last night does not matter if he cant do it consistently for the rest of the season.

 

[Paolo305613]

Tom Washington, Ben Taylor, Scott Wall your referees for tonight's Heat-Jazz, 7:30 p.m., AmericanAirlines Arena (Sun Sports).

 

[Paolo305613]

Assuming Wade is able to man up and play like one tonight - the Heat should continue their winning ways tonight

 

[Paolo305613]

Pregame tweets from Ira Winderman:

Spoelstra says Granger saw doctor today and will try to show up. Wade feels better and will go. McRoberts and Bosh out.
Spoelstra, on being so shorthanded, “What we did yesterday was almost laughed at it."
More Spoelstra, on being shorthanded, “You have to have guys who don't feel sorry for themselves."

We all know we have that one diva who likes to feel sorry for himself and for others to do so as well

 

[Paolo305613]

Interesting with McRoberts saying he will try to make it back, considering Heat need him to be considered out for season to get exception.

Per Ira Winderman

But, I think they can declare him out for season soon, get the exception - and when he does return, he can - just the Heat at that point would actually have to cut someone.

 

[Paolo305613]

Andre Dawkins, Josh McRoberts & Chris Bosh. Officially inactive

 

[Paolo305613]

Chris Andersen starting tonight

 

[Paolo305613]

Starters in Miami tonight: Hamilton, Andersen, Deng, Wade, Cole vs. Kanter, Favors, Hayward, Burks, Burke.

 

[Paolo305613]

Birdman falling in love with jumpers wont help

 

[Paolo305613]

Wade off to a good start - will need an even better finish

 

[Paolo305613]

But Wade has to be a facilitator at times for his teammates and not try to do it all

 

[Paolo305613]

So far, The Heat proving that this notion of home court advantage is absolutely overrated. But, thankfully, we have the ultimate apologist in coach fiorentino to make excuses for them about getting back to Miami late.
