Game Thread: Miami Heat month of December Game Thread

Heat pull it off short-handed again.

On to tomorrow nights task.

Then Ellington

It goes without saying. He is not human when he shoots from 3

Need something similar tomorrow but if we lose, I'm fine with that.

2-2 considering our injury situation would be a good week IMO.

After tomorrow, we only play one game before next Friday.

I have to think by next Friday just about everyone will be except Hassan and maybe Waiters since we don't know the extent of his injury

I dont like moral victories under any circumstances, but if we do lose tomorrow, I will be ok with it as well as long as we find a way to be competitive in the process -- otherwise, I will go on one of my incoherent rants.

you been warned

For what its worth, which may not be much in todays NBA where division titles dont carry the weight they once did due to how seeding process works now -- the Heat are tied for division lead.

Josh Richardson with 24+ points in 3 of the last 4 games. Great job of stepping up

I just need him to cut down on the silly turnovers and fouls

JJ is back tonight. Dragic may give it a go as well. Waiters is obviously out

 

[Paolo305613]

JJ is returning tonight - Goran is questionable - Dion is out though both x-ray and MRI came back negative according to Ira..

Making progress?

Semi-great minds think alike?

Well there goes his bonus. Should have done the surgery in the summer

Terrible news for him and the team. Fuck the $, his health needs to come first and foremost

He put money over his health in the off season.

Lesson learned?

I would hope so. Could have had the surgery back in April. It was an 7 or 8 month injury which means he would have been back by now on a healthy ankle

 

[Paolo305613]

I like that the Heat are going back to JJ off the bench as opposed to starting him - injuries a factor for the move obviously, but still -- he is better off coming off bench IMO

 

[Paolo305613]

Second night in a row Richardson tries one of those soft ass scoop baskets with a big man on him. Hes got to pump fake and create contact or pass the ball

 

[Paolo305613]

Welcome JJ with a buzzer beater to give the Heat a 1 point lead into the second quarter.

Seems that quarter took forever?

 

[Paolo305613]

-3 into the half after the Heat have one of their obligatory mid-second quarter cold streaks.

I know it wont happen, but less 3's from everyone not named Wayne Ellington would be helpful
