Props to the bench tonight

[capstone21]

They fought hard and gave the Heat starters a real run for their money.

The 4 point play was bad and they started to try to do too much in the end but they really did play well tonight.

I also liked seeing the starters cheering them on.

[Seano]

Yeah that was awesome. Kudos to the bench.

[APE]

Yup. I don't think the starters would have played the Heat that closely and played as unselfishly as the bench did. Much props.

Lol @ that punk Ilguaskus, way to join the Rafer Alston club you chump.

[Bawse]

This goes to show you how terrible Miami really is as a group. We come back from 20 down to tie with our 2nd unit playing the entire 4th against their starters.

[Joker]

I liked the effort. lol at Big Z calling Zaza a f***ing b**ch and Nique saying why you mad. LOL

[HalfHawk]

If we get at least half of that effort from the bench come playoff time, I like our chances against Orlando.

Zaza is the real Big Z!

[TheTruth]

Yep, that 4 point play killed whatever slim chances they had left of squeaking one out.

That being said, they did play well for the most part.

Head to head: Our star VS their star.

Wade - - 9/15 + 3/3 = 21 points

JJ --------3/10 + 4/4 = 10 points.

JJ has become just another player. Is he hurting this bad or what is his problem?

And, yep. Our bench really shined tonight - - Every one of them!!

Fans have to feel better about our chances in the playoffs. Josh S. had a nice game

coming back from his injury.

Too bad about that 4 point play late and then another 3 on top of that.

Exciting way to lose to THE KING and all those stars, including old chicken neck.

Umm gray it might have something to do with that strap on his right hand. Drew should of not played jj this past week.

[Gray Mule]

This is probably true of JJ. He does need to sit and wait for the playoffs.

He's just not our JJ the way he's playing.

How long is this going to be a problem? No excuses when it comes to the playoffs bro. I don't wanna hear any BS about Joe being injured after this year. I'm guessing his injuries gave him his worst season statistically as a Hawk, right?

Just going to throw this out there... Josh is our best player on this team, just like last year.

Thanks to the bench tonight for a close game.

Someone plus this man. I didn't mean to give him the negative.

I hate to say it but Joe Johnson has become nagging injury-prone... Whether it's a calf strain or a thumb bruise or a sore knee he just can't seem to get through the season healthy.

I don't really understand it...

He's not a banger

He's not a slasher

He's not a "dive on the floor" type of player

He's a jump-shooter, and from the looks of his photos he's in excellent physical shape, but always gets bit by the injury bug at the most crucial times of the season...

I fear he's got the "I'm paid" attitude, I hope I'm wrong and he comes out on fire in the playoffs, but....

Let's just say I had my hopes up this time last year, and then I found myself at Game 7 against Milwaukee on pins & needles... A week later the season was over, in ugly fashion.

Cheering on this team is liking going back to an abusive spouse because they promise not to hit you again...

What was wussy-Z so mad about? Was he just frustrated that he's such a poor defender or what? Looked like a pretty nice lay in by the real big Z and probably should have been a and-1.

real big Z caught him in the face with an elbow on the way up. I think that set him off.

Hilarious. You've got to love when 7'+ guys cry about getting an elbow. I guess he would have gone and thrown a punch but he didn't want to move his feet.

Yeah I wonder how the league feels about throwing the ball at someone. Seems similar to punching someone to me, same intent at least.

It is especially funny because this is like what happened when John Wall went after him.
