Miami Heat Game Thread for month of December

[Paolo305613]

Unfortunately, Spo too often sticks with what IS NOT working

 

[Paolo305613]

Richardson with the bone-headed turnovers continues

 

[Paolo305613]

Dear Spo, just because you have most of your team back doesn't mean you should be going to any more than 2 guys off the bench at once -- you gain very little by playing so many of them at once.

 

[Paolo305613]

And TJ misses both FTs... brilliant

 

[Paolo305613]

JJ with the buzzer beater to make it 1 point deficit into the second quarter... the dreadful second quarter... still in it for now...

 

[Paolo305613]

Well, it looks like the bench will at least contribute actually - we have some breathing room. Need to build it before the half

 

[Paolo305613]

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat in bonus with 8 + to go

 

[Paolo305613]

Time to bring in the starters -- reserves out there long enough for the half

 

[Paolo305613]

53-52 1-point lead after the TJ buzzer beater to end the half. This won't be good enough to win this one. We keep losing leads

 

[Paolo305613]

At least Hassan is off to a better start for the first time in a while

 

[Paolo305613]

5 v 4 advantage Indy with McGruder out there

 

[Paolo305613]

Goran needs to stop those floater alley oop attempts to Hassan -- they've ended in turnovers and misses more so than actual dunks - deficit now 6 and the collapse starts

 

[Paolo305613]

Pacers in the penalty -- unlike the Heat, they will make the best of it

 

[Paolo305613]

Richardson does the Wade and waits for the clock to run out to put up a shot.

1 point deficit for the Heat into 4th... could be another disappointing performance coming

 

[Paolo305613]

Winslow missed two key FTs, of course

 

[Paolo305613]

back in the lead albeit just by 3... its time for the Heat to make the game winning run NOW or risk keeping this too close for comfort late

 

[Paolo305613]

No more Stuckey for the rest of the night for Indy for whatever thats worth

 

[Paolo305613]

No reason for that J-Rich 3 attempt

 

[Paolo305613]

Time for the Heat to close this one out
