Game Thread: Miami Heat Week 5-6 Game Thread

James Ennis and Deng playing well so far

 

[Paolo305613]

Wade should learn from Ennis - he gets blocked and instead of bitching about it, or pointing fingers at his teammates or complaining for a foul that doesnt even exist - he gets back on defense and starts a fast break the other way again.

 

[Paolo305613]

Almost a turnover, Napier shows his poise, unlike Wade again, doesnt give up on what wouldve been a turnover and hits a 3 in the face of the defender. The Heat have taken over the pace of the game and its resulting in them building a lead.

McRoberts really is a phenomenal passer. Point guard like. Once he adjusts and his teammates adjust, he could be strong in this system! Wade used to do what Ennis does in his younger days.

Come on man...Wade brought us 3 championships and 5 finals appearances, a scoring title and national recognition in his 11 years thus far....

And then he began to settle and become complacent - thankful for him doing those things you pointed out but thats no reason to ignore his unnecessary shortcomings. I refuse to give him a pass for that because of what has has brought... I refuse to and I won’t!

Williams checks back in and the D suffers...coincidence or the Warriors just getting hot? I think the latter this time. Need to settle down a little here.

 

[Paolo305613]

Pace back in favor of the Warriors - are lead could be shortlived

Clearly and without a doubt its just them getting hot - they are that good - doesnt mean anything beyond that

 

[Andresrenee]

Ok. he is -13 on the night...Spolestra once again with no feel for the game...

 

[Andresrenee]

Essentially even at halftime...their type of game...

 

[Paolo305613]

62-61 at the half - Heat took some steps back during the last half of the quarter on both ends - will have to turn it up and be controlling the game at the end of the 3rd to win this one or it will get away from them

 

[Andresrenee]

Blew a 16 point lead....needed more Ennis and McRoberts and less Williams in the 2nd quarter. I just don't get not going with a feel for the game at times. Oh well.....we shall see who makes the adjustments in the 2nd half. Entertaining game thus far.

As I have always said, that is an extremly irrelevant stat - but it seems to be the go to stat anytime someone wants to bash Spo or justify why a certain guy should or shouldnt play . He doesnt have eye popping stats right now but doing other things to contribute and thats good enough.

Again, its stupid to say Spo has no feel for the game or to blame the player - more so considering he has already come up big for us many times already - more than we could ever ask for him

Because the game has a lot more to do with other things than feel - And, they will both make adjustments - all teams do - the key is who executes those adjustments best - thats all there is to that

Hey lady (Paola) and gents

 

[Paolo305613]

The bitch that claims she will no longer post is back - just cant live without me and this board. I always knew it

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat need to control the pace again - the fast pace will get them blown out

 

[bksballer89]

Williams is so deadly from 3

 

[Paolo305613]

Thats why he is out there and will continue to be. All players have short-comings but the Heat are in a situation where they have to take risk despite that
