Lets Go Heat!!!
don’t double DH excessively and cover the threes—Magic gonna chuck. Hopefully DH gets frustrated and gets a few T’s, Magic lose and he gets to talking again lol. Beat the Magic

Let's beat the Mickey Mouse Club
Mario is greater than Mickey cause he is a HEAT

Fish, Heatles, Cats, Fins, Noles
sluggish start
gotta stay on their shooters, they’ll shoot just as much as the Knicks did

I put that on Spo. Joel shouldnt have started against dwight. Since Pitman has been in, the rebounds have evened out!
Pitman is a big body that at the very least takes up space and wont leave the rim to block every shot like Joel
exactly
you have to keep a body on Dwight at all times, otherwise he will grab every board and kill you with 2nd chance points

i hope to God Joel does not came back in the game with DH is in!
Pittman is cloging the lane and boxing out DH!
Yeah, during the preseason imo – Pittman did a better job on DH than Joel did.

As you say, hit the boards, block some shots, run on breaks and try to get an easy one.

His best game was Chicago. Getting about 6-7 less touches and not shooting well—probably not getting many post looks I’m thinking. Need him in the post and being aggressive, the Heat’s best post big man.

Our defense this season has sucked. It's hard to believe this is the same team from last year.

Miami Heat + South Florida = 5.5 Million STRONG
I guess Orlando figures, Miami leaves the perimeter open so let's keep chucking up those 3s.

yeah, I have seen it (what you are saying)...
when a big center is put on him that can move his feet (at least some), he has a lot tougher time pushing his way into the paint—he does not have touch on turnarounds and still needs to bull his way in there for most of his points—and he gets frustrated even with how strong he is. Spo needs to learn, might as well used all twelve of those fouls and used that size to lean on DH.

yep, make him work and he is a big baby when he gets frustrated...
and could get some Ts. Let him work his butt off for those points and make them have to grind it out. Wide open threes—you know they have guys who can hit those and they are usually in rythym when teams double DH. S*** how many times does they have to see it.

But lets be real, DH didnt hurt the heat, the 3 ball did. The heat never adjusted their perimeter defense and the Magic made them pay!
agreed, no matter what you do, guard the m***** f***** three point line against the Magic
If that means not doubling DH as much more like the game last year, or just being lazy and not closing out, whatever, ect. That is what the Magic do—they shoot bleepin threes

yeah, we don't have that atm with Pitt and Curry...
but I still say don’t double DH too much and let him shoot. He cant get to the rim everytime and will start shooting some bricks at some point. Even if he goes off, it is two at a time instead of a wide open three after three. Hell, we had the twenty something point lead last year and they kept doubling and tripling him..

What was frustrating to see was how many wide open 3s the magic had all game long!
At some point you have to live with the 2 and not give up the 3. But Spo thinks the opposite!
Just read...
Only two teams have taken more than 40 3s in a game this season. Knicks and Magic. Both vs. Miami.
Guard the freaking 3pt line.

Let dH get his 30-35 pts, but play everyone else straight up! But leave it to Spo to not adjust anything defensivly and have the Magic shoot wide open 3s all night!
adjustment gonna be needed
but you know this 3pt stuff wasn’t the whole story
but yeah, heat gonna need adjusting a bit.. just so that this nonsense doesn’t become a blueprint for other teams to hammer us with

which is why the 3-ball stuff shouldn’t be an excuse either… yes ok.. three ball was important but we know there was more to it than that, tonight

The heat didnt go to sleep in this game.
They came back several times only to see their efforts fail by the magic’s 3 pt shooting!
At some point in this game, Spo should have instructed his players to stay on the 3pt shooter.
The Magic took 42 3pt shots, 42! and made 17 of them. that tells you that shot was there all night for them! that was the difference in this game! At what point does the coach say enough, fellas dont leave their 3 pt shooters?
again
i would take 42 3-ball attempts by an opponent if our side takes care of the other defensive stuff and is its usual self on offense.. i think we’re focusing too much on these threes. didn’t work for the knicks, right?

the knicks dont shoot the 3s like the Magic! Shooting 3's is what the Magic does! How can you not scheme for something that is such a big part of their offense?
40.5% ... 17 out of 42
not sure we need to be too worked up over that stat
it’s not like the magic shot over 60% from there
and it’s not like we don’t care.. just saying spo isn’t exactly to blame.. doubling-down on DH is not a bad idea when we have deficiency at C ..
remember .. even with half-court issues.. this is still the miami heat you’re talking about, and its not unreasonable to expect the heat to .. u know.. outscore others .. to make up for some perhaps-unavoidable defensive dilemmas.
but OK… if the magic had shot 60%+ from 3 .. i’d probably start to wonder what was up with spo =)

to invert that stat... 17 out of 42 is ... 25 turnovers... IF...
IF our rebounding were perfect… (of course, that’s dreaming)… but we did get out-rebounded tonight on both sides of the court…

yeah outboarded by 10...
DH gets those ridiculous numbers which is bad enough to start with but RA got 11 including 7 offensive.

all the TO is the third sucked also when the Heat needed to make the move to get back in it also

yeah.. i'll give DH his due..even when doubled
but WHO THE FlippieFoo is this RA guy and what’s he doing rebounding like that? =)
what’s the schedule look like for heat games when we play the magic later this month?
i bet spo will use the same plan he did tonight (with a few minor tweaks and rio in the lineup (hopefully))?
