Once again LeBrick shows everyone why he shouldn't have the rock at the end of a big game!

The guy has no faith in his skills. He chokes every time.

Spike Lee approves of this thread.

Meh. If anyone lost the game it was Bosh. He had like three TO's in the last two minutes.
It was a great game. There's some seriously nasty teams in the east now.

5 for 15 by Wade - a subpar game for him

Heat are now below .500 with teams with a winning record and the key to beating the Heat is defense - not letting them run & gun. Chicago & Boston have proved that.

I loved that game. Mello decides to actually play defense and shuts down Lebron. As a Mavs fan it was glorious to watch.

 

[kevman]

It was a great game for the Knicks, though Miami controlled most of it.

bron bron shouldn't be shooting 3's when the game is on the line. he should've learned from the CHI game.

Wow, saw this thread & was trying to see if this is the game my son went to. He's taking his girlfriend to the Knick's game this Wednesday. I was glancing at ticket prices... he should sell the tickets and take his girlfriend to the Bahamas instead!

They were down three...

 

[thepd7]

They were down three...

so let someone who actually consistently makes threes take the shot?

The Knicks are not one of them. Just that the Heat find ways to lose against even decent teams. They just dominate the bad teams.

James Jones, Carlos Arroyo, Eddie House and Mike Miller are all 40% and above shooting threes this season, but they can't create their own shot. NY (predictably) covered the wing shooters because a two pointer would do little to help the Heat. Lebron is shooting 35% on threes for the season, he can shoot over a defender, and he had a cushion enough to call it an lightly contested shot.

I don't think they were going to get a better look unless they were only down two and NY would sag defenders into the paint on penetration leaving a spot up shooter open.

This is so true. The 4th quarter for the Heat has been a disaster zone. They play well on defense but when it comes crunch time it just constantly seems like they don't have any set plays to score on offense. I don't know if to blame Spokes or the players. If this keeps up I can see Riley coming in from the shadows to lead them TO THE PROMISED LAND!

This is Spokes last season as the Heat head coach. He's gone since we know the Heat won't make it past the second round of the playoffs.

Exactly! I mean they are a whole half a game back from the top seed in the Eastern Conference.

Time to blow up this crazy experiment!

Spoelstra. And yea, I agree, he probably won't make it through the off-season.

If that's the best 3 look a team with Bibby, Miller, House, Wade, and Lebron can get they aren't going to get past the second round.

And how are they doing against that top seed in the east this year btw?

Care to guess how they are doing vs. other top teams (east and west)?

 

[waterproof mp3]

I think the James and the Heats will recoup.

For the first 45 minutes of a game, the Heat might be the best team in the NBA, but they've been consistently awful in clutch time all season. Lebron seems to get most of the blame for that, but really it's the whole team and the coach that is to blame. They simply aren't cohesive enough yet, so they don't know what to do when the pressure is really on. Maybe they will after they've played together a bit longer, but I don't see them going further than the ECF at the most this year.

How much more time do these guys need to come together? They just lost to a Knicks team that had its roster blown up less than a week ago.

 

[stag3]

seems the knicks have already come together compared to the heat LOL

How would I know ?

I can simply conclude that it hasn't happened yet, but I have no way of knowing if/when it will happen. Could be they never get better than this, or it could be they're better next week, only time will tell. I mean they clearly have the talent, but that's not always enough.

Now that the Knicks are not an embarassment thanks to isiah thomas relevant again, yes.
