OFFICIAL 2016 @HEAT PLAYOFF THREAD

[Quincy McCall]

I jst want Dragic to play like he did last year, I'd love to get 2013-14 Dragic... but I'll settle.

I have no worries that he'll shake off this rust tho

Is Stoudemire hurt because he's only played one game, poorly at that. He needs another game to redeem himself because he's better than what he's shown so far. Not so much defensively, but he can still score.

For those +/- geeks like me, Winslow with another great night at +12. Only player on the bench with a positive rating. 36 minutes though

The defense he displayed in that one game got him 2 DNP's lol. I'm not sure what's going on with him, if you know Spo, you know he likes to experiment with line-ups the first half of the season- sometimes the whole. He, nor Birdman got to play... so I'm guessing that they were just focusing on certain lineup's/players because Bird played well last time he saw minutes. I don't know what will happen with him, he's still good offensively... nights like this where McBob just refuses to take a shot, maybe he can play PF and bring some offense. I hope it doesn't end up like Shannon Brown last season but I don't think that Spo is going to let his defense see STAT at C for much time this year and we already have a cattle of PF's (Even tho Shannon Brown eventually lead us to Whiteside lol)

McRoberts is trash! Adds absolutely nothing on both ends of the floor. Give Stat McRoberts minutes and watch him gain his confidence back and flourish.

Remember, McRobert played 17mins with ZERO POINTS and TWO REBOUNDS.

$5.5 million a year to average 0.5 points a game?!?! The guy is averaging more turnovers a game (0. then points (0.5)

 

[imlive365]

Give mcroberts some time to get back. Remember he barley even played last year as soon as he came back he played a few weeks then went out for the year. Give him some time he should be a solid piece and someone we need if we're gonna make noise this year.

 

[Quincy McCall]

McBob is a big piece, he's just finding his role. He's a great facilitator but right now he's complicating his role. The way I see it, he's a better fit as a spot-up shooter and focusing on putting up 3-5 3PTA a game to help with spacing. He's probably the best facilitator we have in the second unit, but with the amount of talent we have, have no choice but to be a limited role player

I like Winslow having confidence in hit shot and shooting when he gets a good one, but I think McBob would be better in this role right now for us(Corner shooter, mostly) and Winslow more in the low post and top of the key.

McBob was great when he started to get aggressive last year, we know what he can do. I think McBob/Bosh small ball is going to be something when things get situated

Dragic is solid.. or at least he was. He can be a really solid G. Nobody ever said he was an elite tier G but he's exceptional at what he does.
Slasher with good shot and play making ability.

Good W. Team looked solid.

He's finally asserted himself like we've known he's capable of!

To me, he's the second most important element down the stretch. We cannot compete with Chicago, Cleveland, or Atlanta if he is playing at an all star level.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Dragic looked a lot better yesterday (faster). Like he scored 19 on the game before but was slow and uncommon on defense, this time he actually looked like himself

 

[Quincy McCall]

Tyler and Justise have shared the floor for 61 minutes. Defensive rating of 78.7 and have outscored opponents by 23 pts

Small sample size, but bench mob

D-Wade is really earning that paycheck this year. The most consistent player we have on this team right now.Looking at our schedule, we better finish the month of November with a very nice record.

 

[mr2cool80]

HEAT FAMILY CHECK IN TIME!!!

 

[mr2cool80]

The +/- with Winslow on the floor is impressive. Matter of fact, when both he and Tyler are in the game now that I think of it

 

[mr2cool80]

Young Rook embracing the challenge

 

[imlive365]

Can't get baskets when we need one. Same problem as last year.

 

[imlive365]

Did he seriously just look for a foul like that.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Wade/Whiteside were trash. They're not feeding Whiteside and Wade's ego seems to stiff Goran late, again

 

[tyonenine]

Did he seriously just look for a foul like that.

He didn't even care about getting a quality shot off. Glad they didn't give him that call.

He didn't. He was looking for the call the whole way.

 

[youngtriz]

We have way better 3 point shooters than Wade for him to have the ball in his hands that late

 

[spottieottie305]

1st back to back of the season and it turns out to be a loss. Indiana always plays the Heat tough, but Wade looked terrible... Slow and a step behind all night. Those old legs couldn't muster up a solid performance 2 nights in a row. Whiteside, much like the rest of the team played good in the first half, but couldn't find a rhythm in the 2nd.


The spacing on this team stinks at times. Too many guys in the paint and no shooters to keep the defense honest. There are far too many times when Wade or Dragic get to the paint and have no where to go and results in a turnover. Dragic ran into Whiteside 2 or 3 times last night.


On the plus side, Winslow continues to show growth. I love how Spoelstra is bringing him along. When he gets more consistent shooting the ball, he'll be REALLY good. He's played solid against LeBron, shut down Hardin, and held his own against Paul George. My lawd...
