Hoping we come away with a win here. Miami hasn't had a good start so far. Beating bad teams to get to a .500 record while losing to solid teams. Need to make a concerted effort to shut down Herro who's their go-to guy now on offense.

I really want to see us put together a game where were consistent for the entire 4 quarters. We are 6-1 but I don't think we've put together one good game from start to finish all season.

Just got home from dinner out. A win tonight would be good for us to keep momentum pushing forward.

Offense got stagnant towards the end. Heat are moving the ball and every single player is touching the ball in their halfcourt sets, Suns are doing too much dumb iso ball again. Pass the ball.

Nice hustle for Beal there. A shame Allen couldn't hit that wide open look, but at least Booker was there for the clean up.

Nice block by Beal.

Grayson has too green of a light. He is not Steph Curry, he needs to not shoot this much especially so early in the shot clock.

This is gonna Dunn’s first FT attempts of the season I think. He was a terrible FT shooter in college so let’s see if this has improved like his 3pt shooting has.

Old demons still lurking. We just can't seem to slay those things no matter what. Way too many unforced TO's, many of them essentially handing the ball to the defender. We can't have that.

Form looks good, just needs more attempts. If he works on that as much as he worked on his shooting from range, he could easily be an 80%+ shooter from the stripe.

Officiating in this game is suspect. Oh, I see. It's a Scott Foster led crew. Now it makes sense.

The lady ref & good old Scott Foster basically gave the Heat 5 points with those two bs calls for Herro.I always get nervous when I see a lady ref.Seems like they always have it out for the Suns lol.

Suns played so stupid on offense to end the half. Did all the players do coke between quarters?

Not one player had a good quarter imo. Except maybe the rookie Dunn.

Grayson Allen bulking up has ruined his shot.

Lazy, telegraphed pass by Booker. And almost lost another one.
