Very hard and unnecessary foul committed against Goran -- then fake tough guy James Johnson escalates things beyond what was necessary - unlikely he gets any discipline from the league for that but he should.

 

[Paolo305613]

Technical for fake tough guy JJ

Giant baby throwing a tantrum after setting an obvious illegal screen

 

[Paolo305613]

+5 at the half

If the Heat stop trying to match philly in the extra circular nonsense, the Heat will blow this game wide open in a matter of minutes

 

[Paolo305613]

4 stitches is the word on Winslow but obviously playing through it

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat responding to those always great half-time adjustments by their Hall-Of-Fame caliber HC - now lets see if they are capable of keeping foot on the gas to tie series

 

[Paolo305613]

Whiteside seems to have decided to show up for the third quarter of this game as well - thats good to see.

 

[Paolo305613]

Another good double technical foul - this time on Hassan for unnecessary taunting

 

[Paolo305613]

4th foul on Hassan on another screen attempt - idiot foul - thats why he has to go sit now but the troll will spin it to something its not

 

[Paolo305613]

Almost a costly turnover by Wade on a forced pass

 

[Paolo305613]

just +4 into the 4th for the Heat - can they hold on or fold?

 

[Paolo305613]

tie game. close game not a good scenario for the Heat

 

[Paolo305613]

Wade cries about a foul that didn't exist on one end and then gets away with another one on the other -- just amazing

 

[Paolo305613]

That couldve/shouldve been called an illegal screen on Embiid there - but you can also make a case for Richardson flopping

 

[Paolo305613]

Wade chokes on a crucial FT -- not surprising at all

 

[Paolo305613]

A little late for Ellington to be brought in - should've had him in their previously to try for the 3

 

[Paolo305613]

We all know the troll is going to blame Spo - because thats the only thing he is capable of doing as far as observations especially when the Heat lose - but here are some contributing facts to the loss:The Heat missed 12 FTs - a crucial one towards the end by the almighty, not so mighty Wade.

Heat out rebounded by 14 but that may not be much of a surprise

19 turnovers

32 team fouls regardless of some bad calls

This was a 4th quarter collapse thanks to the turnovers and fouls -- the heat going cold on offense and not having a pulse on defense.

I have said it time and again, the Heat can't try to match or fall into the extra circular crap with Philly - they will fail to find a way to use that to their advantage - it will instead backfire as it has all series long.

These are just the facts surrounding this latest loss even if the troll will try to place blame on the coach - the facts prove it was on the players.

Just not talented enough

Heat outscored 74-43 after halftime of all 4 games. #halftimeadjustments. Enjoy Wades last game and thank him for helping Apolesta not get swept. Spolestra about to be 1-4 in playoff series minus Big 3. #greatcoaching.

Also, Hassan plus 6 in this one. Wish our coach would have stopped that 14-0 run.
