Final  
MIA 106 NYK 98

just poor rebounding instincts. chandler gets up and grabs boards SOMETIMES, Amar'e goes up hard SOMETIMES. other times they just look at it and hope it falls to them in traffic. or they both go up for the block which leaves no one to get the board.

all you need is someone to go up and grab the tough boards. none of this tipping bs. go up and get it. and there is someone on the bench who's really good at that yet he gets no burn.

we almost got burned against chicago, it hurt us today as well as countless other times. it's one thing if we didn't have the personnel. i just don't think he's given AR a full opportunity.

at Wade and Lebron treating the 4th qtr like garbage time going 1 on 1 and throwing up circus shots.

Chris Bosh didnt get a single shot attempt in the 4th quarter.

Until that happens, we need to get Gallo involved early on as he makes this team run so much more efficiently when he is on his game. There are stretches where we just completely ignore him on the court and we sometimes get into the habit of just dumping the ball into Amar'e. Gallo is an unselfish guy which is great for team ball, but as we've known for awhile now, this team really needs him to become more of a focal point on offense and he has to be consistent in looking for it. If Gallo can take that huge step and become a consistent scoring threat (which I honestly think he can at some point), that's the only other way I can see this team growing into a contender with smaller additions. Problem is, Amar'e is in his prime right now and we don't know if his health will hold up for another 3-4 seasons.

strange?

do you mean exciting?

You would think that with that late rally it would be exciting but it felt like they were toying with us, even when the game was down to 6. Still work to do.

hope they realize that toying with us will lead to a 2 possession game.

agreed we still have work to do.

This post will be their doom when playoffs come around..can't do that in the playoffs when the game slows down.

Frazier already noted they were playing around with the Knicks.

Those shots Lebron and Wade were taking were not necessary.

They weren't toying..Wade hit a 3..Fields bricked shots. Game loss. I'd rather have a loss like this than last time we play'd when the likes of Arroyo and Chalmers was killing us. We shut down the others besides Z early.

I'm talking about the whole game. Lebron went a quarter without a shot attempt. The Knicks made their rally and the Heat hit their shots like it was no big deal. The Knicks aren't the only victims, the Heat have been on a tear, but it does show where the Knicks are vulnerable.

You would think Chandler would be a good matchup defensively on Lebron but seems Gallo plays him better. Just can't figure out why it takes a game and a half for D'Antoni to make adjustments. He needs to utilize his timeouts better. Coach performance was one step slow today it seems too.
