Official Game Thread: Heat 88 Nets 96 Final

Harris (Shoulder), Najera (Abs), Sean (Suspension) are not available. Ryan Anderson (flu) is a game time decision. Wade (hip) is questionable.

Is there a reason why it seems like all the men are wearing pink ties tonight?

The team is playing great right now. Please, please, please, keep it up in the second half.

Tim Capstraw annoys me...

This game's slipping away...Knowing Wade he's probably gonna go off in the 4th. I admire Carter's effort though.

Get R' done guys. I can't wait until the fourth when Wade gets all kinds of BS calls, he'll probably trip over his own feet again and get Lopez tagged with another foul.

Lopez was triple hacked but no FT... Typical.

,,,And now Hayes gets called for a foul because Haslem shoved him to the ground.

cdr making most of his chance, wonder how long till Frank kills his confidence and buries him on bench

Gotta give it to CDR. I hope he could continue to play like this.

Finally the refs dont completley screw the Nets against the Heat.....
CDR baby!
At the beggining of the season I was always hyped about him the most out of all our rookies, I honestly think that come next year he'll be an excellent building block for the rebuilding project.

This ladies and gentleman is why tanking is never the right choice, had we decided to throw the towel this team wouldnt have had anything to play for and CDR wouldnt have shined like he did in theese last 2 games.

CDR in the building. He's playing like he plays in 2k9 these last 2 games.

LOL I was thinking the exact same thing.

VC and Lopez looked like they had poor shooting nights (was it tough defence?) CDR is getting just what i hoped he would. Hayes solid from the bench.

I know 2 hot days don't make a summer. But imagine the irony if CDR keeps it up and gets named rookie of the month. Can see the headline now

Frank praised for bringing rookie along slowly" BAH!

To me the win was a bonus. Good players being given a chance to show what they got, Is doin it for me right now.

Cheers

VC was getting doubled pretty much every time he touched the ball, and JO was kind of beastin' Lopez at times.

Hayes played great tonight. Great ball movement from everyone, and the bench really stepped up tonight.

Chalmers' flop was horrendous. I hate stupid refs.

Boo, why didn't Toronto take care of Charlotte? Last I checked they were tied around the half, then I saw Charlotte was up 16 on them. Sigh.

anyone got a nice brief summary of the game didn't catch it but lookin nice with CDR droppin 18 off the bench howd he do?

Hey guys, good game! You guys came out and out played us and out coached us down the stretch.I always like to ask the other team what they think of Beasley. So whats your take on Michael Beasley? What you think of him?

Samuel · Post #17 » by **Samuel** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 1:56 pm

He's a very talented player,he will be a very good scorer in this league soon.I'm impressed with his movement off the ball.He reminds me off a Jamison/Marion type,but with better potential.He and Wade will be a very good 1-2 punch soon.I'm still surprised he doesn't get enough minutes,is your coach in love with Haslem or something?

His defense is probably his biggest weakness but it will most likely improve.Lastly,I don't understand why people refer to him as a power forward.He is nothing like a PF to me,I don't understand the Brand comparison.He is a pure SF to me,post him up on the left side(he seems very effective there) against other sf(who is today's league are smaller) and you have a beast.

im guessing you don't know that Udonis Haslem is the team captain?

theres a good reason why that man gets minutes.

This is my general impression of him from watching many Heat games, not just the latest one against the Nets:

I think he's GREAT offensively. Such a pretty stroke, and can fill it up from anywhere. What I like most about him is that he's got a killer instinct, and that can be hard to find sometimes. He seems to have no fear with taking important shots, and I like that. His performance during the game at Golden State really sticks out to me. It wasn't that he just stepped up in the final seconds, but he made ALL the right decisions (steal the ball, drive right to the basket, etc.).

I don't ever see him being great defensively, though, but I hope I'm wrong about that. And I don't think his tweenerism works to his advantage on defense.

I know Heat fans all say he's more of a natural PF, and I know that's the position he plays, but I agree with the previous poster that he just seems like much more of a SF to me.
