Miami Heat @ Utah Jazz - Saturday, January 9th, 9:00 p.m. EST

Welp, this is why I don't bet on this sorry team. What are our odds against gsw? Wouldn't mind a safe bet.

GSW @ home are money.

Double digit dogs most likely. We banged up

Chicago, Memphis & Toronto were all around 9pt dogs in Golden state. Cavs were 7pt dogs there. I predict it will be something like MIA +9.5

Yeah, our team was appalling. We didn't play the second half at all. Very poor.

Tough game gom. High altitude on the 2nd night of b2b, foul trouble on Goran, Wade injury (hopefully nothing serious), just one of those nights.

A lot of excuses, but we should not have let Gordon Hayward score season-high 34 points. That's inexcusable.

This owl neto guy is annoying

Raulzinho. We know him in Brazil.

Also Ingles isn't a scrub - he's just late getting to the NBA. He hits 3s really well and we're the only one that gets surprised I guess.

We don't win in Utah or Denver very often.

Goodluck chalms

Being the underdog and all, strangely I have a feeling that we'll put up a good fight and might pull off an upset.

We'll show them what Eastern conference defense is all about chalms!

I am very disappointed in the coaching staff and in Wade himself that Wade has to shoulder such a huge load which will only lead to a quicker breakdown. There are a ton of weapons on this roster, young and older. Spo doesn't seem like he is adjusting or maybe the players are not listening but it's a shame. Why Stokes is not getting minutes with Amare is baffling to me. After Wade's huge output last night he should have been able to relax and rack up assists with his scorers but his passions may be getting the best of him... I don't know. I'm very disappointed that the team can't function without Wade going all-out.

We suck, easy loss. need to stop overrating ourselves

[dancing2thabeet]

Ran out of gas and got outplayed by a lesser team missing half the rotation. What else is new?

[DWadeno3]

We essentially have two guys who can attack the basket and actually create something out of it/initiate our offense by doing so and that's Wade and Dragic. For one, Spoelstra should manage his rotation in a way that one of them is always on the court because otherwise we rely on almost perfect execution to win.

On nights when Dragic, who was playing well, gets into foul trouble on some ridiculous calls (the offense foul on the 4th one was simply laughable), Wade has to suck fatigue and injuries up and attack the rim. He shouldn't even start the ridiculous shoulder injury non-sense, he was settling all game long before that. Whether it was getting into the post or actually being aggressive in the pick-and-roll, he just didn't do it and that leads to our entire offense being flat.

Now I don't wanna pin the entire loss on one player, because we were struggling to score even without him on the floor, but if he attacks, we're a much stronger offensive team. I'm not talking about attacking and scoring, I'm just talking about forcing the defense to rotate and then hitting somebody, whether's it's the roller in the pick-and-roll, a weak side player or what not. We can't afford to have him not attack because him and Dragic are the only guys who can attack and then create something out of it consistently.

Habit and the lack of desire to trust his team mates. It's like he has turned into Lebron James - unwilling to defer, opting in feeding his ego instead. Now look...he done f*cked up his shoulder in a losing effort..

Something needs to change and it starts with Wade, then Spo - these are the leaders of our team.
