Game 40: Miami Heat (24-11) @ Utah Jazz (20-19)

Carroll is also a player who we need to give more time. I mean 12 points off the bench for him is awesome. You actually notice him on the floor unlike Marvin who doesn't really do anything particularly good.

Yeah, I thought Carroll deserved more minutes. He only played 15 but had 12 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and only 1 turnover.

I should also add that Ty managed a nice game tonight.

Just watched the game on Leauge pass, cause I fell asleep early.

Great win, we really exposed the heat's weakness, being so small inside. Fortunaly for the heat, outside of a team like Memphis that's not gonna be much of an issue for them going forward. Al was efficent, he was passing well and I thought he played a great game.\

I always say the heat coast through games defensively, and turn it on in the 4th quarter. That's exactly what they did. Once they locked in defensively it was nearly impossible for us to score. Gordon was huge down the stretch and it really helped us simmer the heats rally.

i thougt there were some chances late in the game for Tinsley to play a lob pass to Al, when LeBron was fronting him hard. Another alternative would have been the hi-cut of the other big (which they did in the first half), but they forgot about that. whatever.

they really tried to get Al the ball, but it didn't work out. so, that was a bit embarrassing, but the whole game was really good. Hayward is stepping up the last weeks. magnifico!

Heat played great defence at 4th quater. Just awesome played Lebron by denying Big Al in the post.

I wonder why Miami didn't play same defense in the 3rd quater to make a run?

If you noticed Jazz didn't allow them to build any momentum...

Then the 4th came, and after a few possessions they built crazy momentum that had us 1 field goal at 5 minutes left.

I don't know about you guys but I watch Heat's games on LP. Not counting their current of unlucky road trip, MIA is one of the best closers in the game, next to SAS and LAC. Guess what we beat SAS and MIA, but couldn't pull out that win against LAC....

December was tough and we held through...I mean were only 1/2 game behind 8th, and with in a couple more games of getting 6th, which is our goal right now..
