Haven't posted in a few games and didnt want to post tonight but me and my dad were watching this game and man we both had a bad feeling the Wiz would collapse in the 4th quarter. A lot of bonehead plays

But better these happen now before the playoffs or the final West stretch. If we collapse at the home stretch WTF

Got some big games coming up before our final swing out West. We have CHA, @ORL, and NJ. Need to do work.

Eh, can't be too mad. No Nene, shooters off all night. Ariza with his worst night of the year. Wall 2/8 with 7 turnovers. And we were still in it late, against a desperate Miami team at home that had to win.

Miami are gonna get spanked by the Pacers in the ECF.

We were suppose to lose, but it is how they lost. Wall was ass down the stetch, but this was not the game to experiment with Wall/Miller/Gooden on the floor together. Randy was a complete (Please Use More Appropriate Word) on the offensive substitutions.

We win this one with competent coach, and possibly no Al Harrington. Mia is beatable, but not when you employ a monkey for a head coach.

You've called him a monkey and a baboon on the same thread. Classy.

we played tough but

-Although Wall passed the ball well he really hasn't been looking to score (and we need him too) and its caused him a lot of turnovers these last couple of games
-Ariza couldn't shoot
-Gortat needed to be back in the game a lot sooner
-Encouraged by Miller and Gooden; The second line-up w/Nene instead of Al is going to be very good in the playoffs
-I'm done with Al btw

the 2-7 is nothing. He hasnt shot much amnd most of those shots came at the end of the clock or going 2 for 1. He would have like 16ast right now if guys made shots

I think he's made the right play most times. Heat clogged the lane and he made the right pass. But his turnovers and his misses have also been costly. Far from 'perfect'

yeah but alot of you are getting swayed by the end of the game. its easy for everyone to say he sucks when he played bad down the stretch but everyone did and we are playing at the champs. before the point he was darn near on the money. Im watching the Heat feed and all they tealked about is how Spolstra said they were going to send 2 and 3 guys at Wall on every pick. Wall hit Ariza & Webster for a million open J's and hit Gortat for a million easy layups. They couldnt hit shots they normally would make in their sleep.

If he does that then we are up 10 late instead of being tied. If they make those shots then maybe the D switches up on Wall. He played right and made great plays. The guys didnt finish. Our fans are getting swayed by that horrible collapse because they thought we had a chance at a big win but there is a reason why no one said anything bad about Wall until the 4th. He was playing well

Wall looked pretty aggressive tonight imo, just like he has been lately, just didn't any calls inside. Home cooking.

Beal doesn't have the handles to be a go to shot creater against a swarming Miami defense.

Ariza's head was never in the game and shouldn't have played in crunch time

When Gortat came in the team continued to struggle. You guys act like Wittman cost us this game just because Gooden had one bad play. The starters closed out the game and scored 3 points. Miami's defense was swarming while Bosh and Wade got hot from deep. I hate this kind of coach **** bashing. I dont even like Wit that much but I feel like I'm constantly defending him because some of the criticism he gets is absurd.

Dissapointing ending but these guys gave the heat a great fight. We're playing up to a playoff standard. We're not conference champs but we are still a good competitive team with a good young backcourt. Need a couple of Young Bigmen to come through and Porter to show us why we picked him 3rd overall and we may be able challenge for conference titles over the next 4-5 seasons.
It would be great to have a top ten pick this year and take a handy Bigman like Randle or a Vonleh

It's an acceptable loss, but some of our key players played like ****. You shouldn't just support this team blindly just because you're a fan. You should be upset when they are in a good position (up with 6 minutes to go) and then blow it (Ariza with the 5 sec violation, Wittless waiting to put Gortat in, and Wall just being hungover all game). These are the types of losses that add up at the end of the season. They also display the team's discipline. You're right we were on the road, against the defending champs who were coming off a 3 game losing streak, but great teams will hold on and win these types of close games. It felt like a playoff game up until the last six minutes. They'll have to do much better if they want to get any where in the post season.

Heat better hope LeBron is superhuman against the Pacers. Look what Gooden did to them tonight. Imagine what Hibbert, West, Scola, Mahimni, Bynum will do to their frontline.

People never credit defense unless its your team playing it.

I don't give a damn. He's beyond stupid at times. The most reactive (Please Use More Appropriate Word) coach i've seen offensively. He picked a grand ole time to experiment with a new lineup that had absolutely no chemistry to it. It almost felt like he meant to sabotage his own team. He can eat **** for all I care.

dlts20 · Post #357 » by **dlts20** » Tue Mar 11, 2014 2:00 am

good effort. I felt we were just too pumped up and didnt show resolve late. Still, we looked like we belong for the most part. The next one is the big one. A hot Bobcats team, division opponent, and we are at home where we dont play as well. Gortat vs big Al, and Wall vs Walker. They have a great Defense. Its a must win

Miami already had momentum at that point. That Gooden lineup clearly killed any chance we had down the stretch.

Why would you not have Gortat in to finish the game? The Wall-Gortat p&r has been effective for us finishing games down the stretch. Wittman blew it, man

Bull, **** hit the fan as soon as he put Wall and Miller in at the same time. W/e chemistry we had just went up in smoke. He completely ruined the momentum of the game. He's a bad coach offensively. This team wins in spite of him, not because of him. Didn't help Wall DID play like ass tonight, especially down the stretch.

Agreed that the 7 (counted) TOs hurt... really wasn't one part of his game that really stood out to me tonight... I thought that the game was lost in the first quarter and when Witt left the second team in too long in the 4th.
