It's not over, even if we'd won we'd still been 2.5 in back of Houston. Now it's 3.5, still catch-able. I still believe Denver and Utah will fade come second half of season.Doormatt wrote:this loss wasnt even that bad were just desperate for wins with everything thats happened that when we lose it seems like our season is legit over.

pretty sure the shot clock wasn't off.
Shot clock was off. MWP fouled LBJ with 15.5 seconds left on the game clock and about 10 seconds left on the shot clock. Shot clock was then turned off when Miami took the ball out of bounds.
u got the 1st part right, not sure why u would think the shot clock gets turned off though. lebron fouled at 15.5 seconds, shot clock reset to 14 secs. heat still have to shoot.

There was literally no way we could execute anything when he had the ball vs Norris Cole not Russel Westbrook, Ty Lawson, or Tony Parker but NORRIS COLE

The last 5 or 6 sequences on a 90-90 game started well under 10 seconds with Nash just dribbling because he couldn't advance the ball vs pressure. We had 0 shot getting a good sequence as long as he had the ball, and yes it's on him that he couldn't get thru the same screens Fisher would and that Duhon got thru in the 4th
Kobe or Metta handling it that fourth were at least muscling Bron and Wade to break it and get to their spots. It was essentially bad seeing Nash need Metta or Kobe to feed Dwight in the post because he couldn't, like he couldn't feed Shaq the one time he played with a post guy in his career.
I think we should have finished with Duhon or took Nash off the ball because literally if we keep track of Kobe's shooting, which was ****, as well as his turnovers, a lot were bailouts because Cole wasn't stupid like Chalmers with letting Nash hook him multiple times to pass him by to break the press.
So literally when Cole played it was Metta or Kobe running to him, Metta made a couple drives, Kobe took some long and fading bailout shots. Nash has to really look at this tape because its worse than his spurs game closing where he couldn't get a shot off at all. There was literally no way we could execute anything when he had the ball vs Norris Cole not Russel Westbrook, Ty Lawson, or Tony Parker but NORRIS COLE. Nash is being hidden on D because he can't guard PGs, so he has to do his job which is execute the O by scoring and actually getting us into sets in a timely manner against the likes of Norris Cole

Pau exceeded my expectations for his return though.
No he won't, you can tell by the little jabs he tries to disguise as jokes. He played good though, won't completely dog him.Kilroy wrote:Yeah, I liked Pau off the bench too... I think he might actually be cool with it if he gets enough burn.

Thanks.....we'll get right. We just shot ourselves in the foot with all the TO's early and bad execution late. The haters don't phase any of us here, we've seen clowns like most of them before.TRG wrote:GG Lakers... Don't listen to the haters your season isn't over yet.

Good to know that there are some classy Heat fans out there. GB thread is just full of trolls.
gotokyo wrote:Pau actually played prettt well tonight aside from that dumb 3 point attempt and a couple lapses on defense. When he did get the ball in the post he was able to draw a couple fouls and convert on those opportunities.
I just don't understand why he and Dwight weren't featured more working in the post when their going up against Chris f-ing bosh at center. Instead they decided to run pnr's the whole game against the best defensive pnr team in the league.
That is by far and away the dumbest coaching game plan I can possibly think of to use against Miami with our roster.

if what you say there in the 4th quarter or basically all game was about nash taking it to cole head to head, then i don't know what to tell u. we must have been watching different games cause surely didn't see norris cole on an island d'ing up steve nash. i saw a swarming trapping team defense. nash didn't handle that well, but it surely didn't have anything to do with cole and nash having some type of iso situation.
same with nash "losing" allen on defense. i simply are watching something else if u just totally miss the heat's screens to get allen free.
