I don't know about anyone else, but to me Lowry up to this point has cost the game. H e can't seem to score game after game.

sure, just throw him under the bus lol

I don't need to throw him under the bus, he can get under on his own lol

He has been bad shooting lol

Terrible foul at the end too. He sucks so far this year.

the heat love to have low scoring starts and also they 3's are not falling like they used to...they were bound to lose at some point.

i said it in the last thread that these slow starts would be ending up biting them in the azz and here we are

[QUIZ]

We should’ve won but we lost. I blame the fact that we played them twice. It is what it is, long win streaks always make me nervous

[fishfuego.]

It's really clear to me that we lost this game because Duncan wasn't available for most of the second half.

Duncan?
Brick after brick?
Even Strus was either passing off or shooting bricks.

The offensive foul on Jimmy the missed blocking foul on Bam and the late travel on Dinwiddie. Was like a 10pt swing to Washington to end that game.

[balla345]

we are so much better than the wizards. Horrible choke

[oreon]

I put this on the refs. Idgaf. If Bam is not shut down by horrible calls all game, we win this. And thats not to even mention the horrid calls down the stretch that really threw the **** in Washington's favor.

Jimmy and Herro and PJ did enough to win this. Lowry was bad, but he wasn't bad enough to make us lose. This game was handed to Washington by the refs and they know it.

But this is Lowry's/Duncan job. Butler, Herro and Bam are our 1st, 2nd and 3rd options. But when one of the 3 doesn't have it or is in fould trouble, you need either Duncan & Lowry to step up and fill in the gap. And they're not. Most of the games this season both have been bad offensively. I know Lowry does a good job running the offense but when you're paid 30 mil you gotta be able to score. How many more games are we gonna get 30 % shooting from the field from both of them.
They are the problem. They need to play better.

Meh. Not Miami's night. Wizards finished perfectly to steal it.

We were up 16 lol, game shouldn’t have even been in question.

miami was playing pretty well offensively. wizards were hitting 3s while heat were hitting 2s. that was the difference.

It was clear what the refs were trying to do. The 4 point foul called on Strus was BULL ****. The Wizard's player actually extended the leg, and still Strus did not touch him. The Wizard's player made it but you can clearly see the refs intent.

thats a fair point. But Lowry does other things that are not seen on the boxscore. Many to blame for this loss, Lowry being one of em, sure.

Heat will get their revenge.

[QUIZ]

I actually think we missed Duncan after he got hurt. Dunc +8, Strus -2.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

I’m livid lol

[fishfuego.]

I think is misleading. Duncan was with the group that was playing intense defense. But he was either missing 3s or fouling, and Strus was equally bad.

[fishfuego.]

Maybe my homer glasses, but it doesn't feel like Miami is getting the respect at home from the refs some of these teams are getting, and it seems to be just as bad away.

[MettaWorldPanda]

Fluky loss. It happens

[harlem_ball]

I think Tucker is a better center than Bam now lol

he's the GOAT

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Another game Bam should’ve just sat to rest his hurt knee. He’s either hobbled or also sucking right now. He should
Be dominating Washington

is he hobbled? maybe time for he and duncan to rest up and get right. the heat have enough depth to beat the lower tiers of the league
