Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread - March

Ennis has done some good things tonight that would probably be hard to apperciate if you are just looking at the boxscore

ennis is playing like shit

 

[Paolo305613]

Wade with bad shot selection, misses, fails to get back on defense as usual and now the Heat down 6 - this is why there should be no problem with Ennis shooting jumpers - if he shouldnt be shooting jumpers - neither should Wade but thats what he does

 

[Paolo305613]

Pretty sure most expected/expect for the Heat to lose this one, so it shouldn’t really matter how anyone on the Heat plays

 

[bksballer89]

that chalmers 3 was really huge

 

[Paolo305613]

Chalmers all the way from Broward for 3 and cuts the lead to 5 into the half. Take that!, scrub battier

Funny and sad as always when people on this board spend the entire season if not longer asking for a guy to get PT over another, in this case Ennis, and then he has one or two bad moments and people trash the guy. People probably forgot that the heat are very short-handed tonight and that means guys who wouldnt normally play get playing time and do so a lot more than would probably be best for the team.

After tonight, less than 10 games left - we are going to see lineups like this for the Heat a few more times before those 10 games are up.

 

[Paolo305613]

A reminder, Napier and deng, UD are out tonight - CB and McRob already out for the year - thats 5 quality players the Heat are missing - This is the hand they have been dealt and they are making the best of it - shit happens.


Another reminder, the Heat have been better the past few games on days they dont play - thats when they seem to move up a bit in the standings - when they do actually play - the results arent always what we may desire

 

[Paolo305613]

Leonard blocks Wade as he puts up a weak shot and puts on the other end and the lead increases. This one will soon get away from the Heat, not such a bad thing though

 

[Paolo305613]

Amazed but not surprised just how much of a jump shooting settling team we become with Wade in the game/available to play, when he is not, the Heat seem to do a better job at consistently attacking. There is still a lot of game left, but it just seems like more time for the Spurs to really get going and finally put this one away

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat down 11 into the 4th lucky to be down just that for now but it should get worse

 

[Paolo305613]

Worth mentioning just how well Hassan has played despite the injury - and how he hasnt taken a step back to his relentless approach on either end of the game because of it - good to see the kid giving the team everything he has

 

[Paolo305613]

down 15 and this game is officially over
