****The Official 2014-15 NBA Thread****

He's already made Dwight his beootch twice 2 blocks. Lool.

 

Dwight Howard is overrated.

 

Loving the closeouts on D.

 

Deng come on dude

 

That was a horrible half for us. Feels like we had 50 turnovers.

 

Well, pretty sure Bosh is gonna play more than 11 minutes in the second half. Ride him to the final horn. So many fouls in this game.

 

Offense has looked stagnant the past few series.

 

Hamilton putting in good minutes. Biggest surprise tonight for me.

 

Crowd getting real loud at the end of 3rd, good stuff.

Basketball no longer resides in south beach..

 

Well 4th quarter will be interesting. Haden playing defense tonight, like I'm in the Twilight Zone.

 

lets go heat lets go heat lets go heat

 

Felt like another 50 turnovers by us. That crap is annoying. Good thing Papanikalaou has brought it or else we'd be done. D-Mo looks lost tonight.

 

Hamilton with a big three.

 

Good game, Heat have nothing left in the tank.

 

Rockets too hot from that corner.. Heat still figuring out rotations. Liked what I saw from Hamilton tonight. Should be a solid contributor off the bench.





"Sometimes the ball doesn't go down."

 

It's over.

 

WAY too many missed free throws tonight.

 

We will beat the Hornets tom night to be 4-1

 

Good game, fellas. You made us work.

5 games. 5 wins.

 

I had us losing this game anyway.

 

Ariza was shooting wide open threes all night.

 

Game ball goes to Papanikolaou. He brought it.

 

He does everything Parsons couldn't do. Ariza is back home where he belongs.

 

Ugh. So many fouls and FTs. Bosh's usage kind of strange. Defensive rotations not up to par. The nightly adventures of Norris Cole continue. He no-shows, basically, like he tends to do (infuriatingly inconsistent for a starting PG and 3-year vet). Houston's got a nice team. That Papa dude can play, and they'll be real good especially if Ariza keeps balling and Beverly stays efficient from range. On to Charlotte.

 

Cole and Chalmers stunk up the arena, don't understand benching Bosh for most of the first half.

 

Missed the game, (daughter had softball game) saw the last 2 minutes..saw they lost big, but the boxscore is strange.

Why did Wade, Bosh, Deng and Mcbob play so few minutes?

Just by the boxscore...missing 2 bigs, playing one 5 min. And bosh on limited minutes, along with horrific PG play...no chance to beat a team like houston.

Also..why did D12, Harden, Ariza play so many minutes if they won comfortably? Did the heat make a run or something?

 

Miami 6 of 21 at the run. There's your game. That and FTs.
GG Rockets.

 

Hamilton is a nice player for you guys. You should really think about giving Andre Dawkins minutes. He was really good for us in summer league.

 

It was close until like 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. Then we got on a nice run for the rest of the game.

 

Ok...****ty defense. Rockets took 37 threes and made a good %. Heat missed FT's...and we fouled like crazy.

Still don't understand our best players playing limited minutes. Saving them for the b2b vs. Charlotte?

 

Decent game, some weird player usage. Rockets opened it up at the end.

Well, now that the pressure to be perfect is off, let's wreck the Bobc—Hornets. Yes, the Hornets.

 

Not sure what was the idea there either, in any case we had a chance to win at one point we were down 90-86 and had all the momentum, and then that quickly became 103-86 and it was over then. Missed shots and bad possessions. Oh well, I'll take 81-1.

 

Synergy says Harden shot 1-2 vs. Wade...so who did he toast the rest of the game?

Looks like Bosh was gonna have a big one with 21 & 8 on 30 min.

 

Hopefully our regular bigs will be back healthy for Thursday against the Spurs. If not, D-Mo is going to get completely schooled. It is not going to be pretty.

 

Maybe in the long run, Parsons is better...but right NOW, Ariza is a MUCH better player.

 

Btw, that gm tmrw night is gonna be a tough one.

 

Bosh was 4/8 9pts/4Rebs through 2 and a half quarters. I was checking my fantasy team....most of his damage came in the 4th.

 

Uh, what? It was down to 4 in the 4th quarter.

 

Tell that to the 'experts'.

 

Hamilton really showed some flashes in this game. Would love to see some more of him against Charlotte.
