Game Thread: Miami Heat month of January Game Thread

Well at least he looks to be ok for now

 

[Paolo305613]

JJ always picks a bad time to be JJ and make idiot decisions trying to be a point forward

 

[Paolo305613]

As Fiorentino said - Goran had a layup but the Heat always opt for the 3 than the higher percentage shot

 

[Paolo305613]

huge rebound and score for Hassan there

 

[Paolo305613]

blocking foul saves the Heat from 8-second violation - now we have to depend on FTs ... not good

 

[Paolo305613]

Another big rebound for Hassan -- and then he fouls out with a moving screen - thats so Hassan

 

[Paolo305613]

This would just be a classic Heat way to lose.

No one guarding Fox - outhustling the Heat is not difficult sometimes

The Heat will need a miracle to avert another meltdown

lol. What an epic collapse. Richardson was awful. Dragic ran out of gas and made some awful turnovers in the 4th and a bad gaffe on defense. Do we pull it out or lose it?

 

[Paolo305613]

Well, if you are going to give it to Richardson in that situation -- you are asking for the result you just got.

Heat squander a chance to strengthen their position in standings.

Had to know this game was cursed when the troll entered the board

He clearly wasn't the first option. It seems like he was the 3rd or 4th option. Had to give it to Richardson or deal with the 5 second violation

 

[Andresrenee]

Fox greater than Dragic in last 3 minutes and Richardson being awful was the difference. Why was Dragic inbounding and not Richardson. Heat could not run a set play. Embarrassing. This team has lost to some really bad teams in the last couple of weeks - the Bulls, Kings, and Nets and should have lost to the Hornets. They really miss Tyler. Awful home loss and epic collapse.

Absolute shit performance. Top 3 shit performance of the year. We deserved to lose

Up 12 with 6+ to go and you lose.

LOL. I was here for the Hornets miracle. How does one blow a 12 point lead at home with under 7 minutes to go at home to the Kings? Amazing how bad this team can be sometimes. Offensively challenged.

 

[Andresrenee]

Hope everyone stops the Dragic for all star game talk.

This one is much worse than the others. I wouldn't even call the Bulls a bad lost. That team is much better than their record.

But yeah they miss Tyler. Assuming a W tonight which was the only reason they decided to rest him again was stupid. Dude was listed as probable yesterday. The coaching staff assumed this was a W.

 

[bksballer89]

As bad as we played, Dragic could have saved the game. His lack of awareness on the final Kings possession was alarming. All he had to do is locate Fox and box out. Too much ball watching there.

The team was gassed. Seemed like we could have called a timeout and run some set plays. This is the type of loss that can keep you out of the playoffs. They stopped playing hard and lost their focus. Olynick should have played more. Epic fail. These guys are who they are. A mediocre team who can win their share when they play hard but no true go to person. Richardson is so darn inconsistent, Winslow is challenged offensively, and the list goes on and on.

His turnover which led to the easy bucket was awful too. His team did not hustle back to help him. He was gassed from not having played much. I thought coach should have called a timeout and give them a breather.

 

[Andresrenee]

On a positive note, we finally won a third quarter. Grant it, it was only by 1 at home to the worst team in the league who was on a long road trip but I will take the great adjustments made by our coach.

 

[bksballer89]

One thing I'm noticing about this team is they play better when they only get 1 day off instead of multiple.

Last time they had multiple days off, they played a very crappy 1st half as they did tonight but thankfully Miami played just as bad and they were able to turn it on in the 2nd half.
