    This may be the best D we've played all year.

    Miami is shooting well and not exactly an offensive juggernaut.

    Last three games

    11-13
    5-7
    5-6 (tonight)

    I wouldn't call that "bad" by any standard

    We are struggling against this bad heat team with injuries. Just not acceptable. We really should be blowing them out. It's the same issue every game. Defense. Interior defense. All of it. It's gotten a tiny bit better but it's obvious we need a trade for a decent rim protector

    By far. But let's not get ahead of ourselves: they have 5 guys out with injury, and one starter kicked out with two Ts. And we're tied.

    That's pretty bad.

    That Plumlee tip to Harkless was almost exactly like the rebound late in the Houston series when Dame jumped in bounds and they claimed he wasn't established and gave the ball to Houston. Of course we know how that turned out. :notworthy:

    ET has learned how to play with his new teammates, and they have learned how to play with him.

    Aminu will be rusty when he comes back, so I hope people give him some time to get back into his groove (especially shooting) before they are too critical of him.

    Ahh, who am I kidding? The usual suspects will rag on him right away.

    By his standards it is. 5 of 7 is 20% lower than his average.

    Miami scored 111 on Utah's D in Utah. Our defense looks better than that.

    Blazers are not that good. You have to judge them on a curve

    How is Dragic still owning Dame? Thought we were past this nonsense

    Huh? Our D is better than it's been for most of the season. We've just had some trouble with our shooting. It's certainly not out worst game in years or even this season.

    2 days rest, back to back games at home. Miami is missing players with injury. I can't believe we are even in this position right now but once again it's the same reasons for every other loss. It's crazy the 180 this team has done over a summer

    Miami scored 111 on Utah's D just a few days ago.
