Full Game Highlights

 

Note: Looking at a growing problem rotating on D to the 3 point shooter and the pick and roll down low. Box out and prevent the second chance points. On offense we have to make open shots, especially 3s, and stop with the stale basketball. Move the ball, and avoid costly turnovers that lead to fastbreaks. No one said this would be easy, but it’s frustrating to both lose at home and break the lead to 1 and let them pull away. I’ll be here all the way, but c’mon Heat…

Miami Heat at New York Knicks – November 30, 2014

• “McRoberts, another Kaboom!”
• “Instead of one fell swoop it was one fell hoop!” (referring to Wade’s GW in MSG on March 14, 2005 – 50^th win of the season)
• “Ah finally, the Kaboom from Shawne Williams. He does extend his 3 point streak to a 15^th game; when he’s not splashing 3’s, I find myself not as comfortable as I’d like to be, Coach.”
• “Bosh tees up a 3, Kaboom! That’s his 22^nd Kaboom of the season!”
• “You know, if you’re setting a screen for Carmelo Anthony, you gotta feel like a pulling guard for a 1000 yard rusher.”
• “…And Udonis squeezing the air out of the Spalding on that rebound.”
• “Wade, got it… about 15 thousand knick fans just sunk down into their seats, and you saw heat fans all over the building just spring up like a jack in the box. Dwyane Wade will do that to you…. Jump out of your seat at home”
• “Wade over the top of Shumpert. Oh my! Dwyane Wade has been phenomenal. He’s got this crowd quiet. 17 points second half points… make that 19… Wade is on fire here in Madison Square Garden. He owns the building right now.”

White Hot Heat – Part 3: The Crown 2012

Lockout. That’s how it began. Would there be a season? All the talk from the media’s skeptics circulated the LeBron narrative… Words spread like wildfire and the only fuel the public had was a lasting image of the Heat coming up short – and they didn’t let it down for months.

Then Christmas came early. The season was back on the books and we had a marquee matchup against the Mavericks. This was the NBA’s way of bringing a gift to the whole basketball world as ratings would be prime whether we won or lost – a front page news story was sure to come.

The energy and drive that was created after losing in the Finals has brought us to where we are today as we envision a 3peat on the horizon. 15 strong for 16 games is what it took in 2006 against the Mavericks, 2012 against the Thunder, 2013 against the Spurs, and now in 2014, where we make a push toward the ultimate prize: Larry O’Brien.
