Miami Heat Game Thread for month of December

[Paolo305613]

Winslow nor Richardson weren't playing up to par before getting injured - so won't expect much from them immediately but they would at least give us bodies to use.

 

[Paolo305613]

It will help our chances if both and more of them don't play tonight

 

[Paolo305613]

Its time he gets his head out of his ass

 

[Paolo305613]

It just will never end

 

[Paolo305613]

Well, there goes that

 

[Paolo305613]

Decent start for the Heat and take a 1 point lead -- lets see how long the good times last

 

[Paolo305613]

Usual end of quarter sloppiness for the Heat on both ends and now down 4 after 1 -- McGruder continues to provide nothing offensively as a starter - 4 points 4 rebounds for Hassan to start -- still not good enough

 

[Paolo305613]

its about to be that time it starts to get away from the Heat if they don't take advantage of some of these chances.

Empty possessions are just not going to get the job done

 

[Paolo305613]

10 point deficit now... the landslide begins

 

[Paolo305613]

So Heat to end the quarter by giving up a big 3pt shot and now the deficit grows to 11 before the half making it even harder to stay in this one any longer

 

[Paolo305613]

 

[Paolo305613]

Yes. Now Hassan has to decide if he will respond with his play on the court or continue pouting and letting that affect his game on the court like a little bitch.

 

[Paolo305613]

 

[Paolo305613]

Same starters for Heat, with Whiteside to push through knee issue: Dragić, McGruder, Ellington, McRoberts, Whiteside.

 

[Paolo305613]

Best start in a while for Hassan -- lets see how he responds when Bulls adjust and when adverse moments for him and the team arise

 

[Paolo305613]

Down just 2 heading into that dreadful second quarter

 

[Paolo305613]

The second quarter has come and gone and the game is still tied -- thats a win for the Heat

 

[Paolo305613]

8 point deficit to start the third -- the collapse may now be starting

 

[Paolo305613]

Not expecting too much else from Richardson early on in his return from injury or any time soon for that matter - but he certainly should now be starting and playing more minutes over McGruder who just hasn't do much of anything offensively

 

[Paolo305613]

8 point deficit into the 4th will just be too much for the Heat to eventually overcome no matter what kind , if any, run is made in the 4th
