Once again, Goran forces another 3-shot foul

 

[Paolo305613]

next challenge for the Heat, against this same NYK team on Friday, getting to the .500 mark for the season -- its been a challenge to get there, of course

 

[Paolo305613]

Contributions from McGruder, Richardson AND Okaro, it was that kind of night for the Heat who can be as good as the 7th seed at nights end

I think our best matchup in the first round would be anyone but Cleveland, if we want to at least get out of the first round - i know they are struggling and I know Toronto would be another tough matchup -- And I know most would probably want to see a playoff matchup vs Queen James -- But, for me, its about seeing the Heat win and for that we need the most friendly matchup possible or we make an earlier exit than expected

 

[Paolo305613]

I am rather confused, so don't mind the stupid question - i know one of you will have the answer to this better than I could:

Not suggesting the Heat NEED to sign someone else currently, unless we lose another player - But, up to what point can we sign someone to the roster to have them be eligible for the playoffs, if we get there?

Or has that deadline past?

Chalk another one up for the Heat tonight - though I think the issue with Carmelo tonight is the D-Wade syndrome, vaginal issues is what is keeping him out tonight as opposed to anything else

 

[Paolo305613]

Gordon Hayward-Heat FA rumors. What say you about this?

 

[Paolo305613]

Wouldn't u know it, a slow start for Heat against the depleted Knicks

 

[Paolo305613]

Seems like J-Rich forgot how to defense and basketball as a whole some time ago

 

[Paolo305613]

James Johnson needs to go bald - He has horrible haircut - his hair is always horrific - maybe thats why I'm tough on him -- plus other reasons that warrant it

 

[Paolo305613]

And, of course, a late JJ turnover at the end of the quarter gives the Heat a deficit of 4 into the second quarter

 

[Paolo305613]

But the type of minutes they should've at least expected from Okaro

 

[Paolo305613]

Another Goran induced 3-shot foul - might need more of those tonight in order to pull this one out

 

[Paolo305613]

-4 for Heat at the half - should probably be down more with how they've played so far

 

[Paolo305613]

Richardson needs to not shoot and we should be fine
