Heat falls to 12th in East, ahead of only Orlando, Charlotte, Detroit. If everyone were healthy, they should theoretically still be pretty good. But unrealistic, with this specific group, to expect most everyone healthy, as history shows – 10:40 PM

After being up by as many as 15, the Heat lose to the TWolves 105-101. Have now lost four in a row.
Thought the energy and coaching was good tonight, but costly mistakes by reserves and lack of depth killed Miami down the stretch. – 10:34 PM

Should be a lot worse than a 5 point game?
In striking distance, the gameplan should be to go to Bam every play in this 4th quarter

21 is their largest margin of victory of the season.

The good news: Competing on the boards, making shots at the rim & limiting tovs
Bad news: Have only taken six 3s compared to 13 for MIN.
Can’t count on shooting like this at the basket all night w/ Gobert involved, so need to find ways to get 3s up. – 8:40 PM

Strong first quarter I’d say:
– Spammed the Lowry-Bam PnR
– Got Bam going as a threat in middle of the floor
– Using Highsmith and Cain as constant cutters instead of spacers
– Plus forcing turnovers, which is the key. Force this game to be in the mud – 8:37 PM

Miami on an 11-2 run highlighted by five Haywood Highsmith points. We talked on the pod about how HH needs a boost of confidence early. Lowry got him involved, passed up an open 3 and found HH for an easy drive to get him going. HH confidently made a 3 on the next possession. – 8:31 PM

Well that’s a run by Haywood Highsmith and Jamal Cain
Highsmith hitting that open 3 when the defense helps off is crucial
Now forcing turnovers in the zone and finding Cain in his element – 8:30 PM

Love Bam’s game so far. He’s got 10 points in on 4/4 shooting in 5 1/2 minutes. Went right into Gobert with momentum, then followed that up with using a screen to get McDaniels on a switch and attack him at the basket. Bam bringing the ball up leads to good stuff. – 8:22 PM

Spamming the Lowry-Bam PnR
Needed tonight
Keep forcing 2-on-1’s, while both being assertive – 8:18 PM

I don’t know if you’ll believe me, but the Timberwolves actually enter this game with a worse defensive rebounding percentage than the Heat this season. – 8:18 PM

Ok now that we got past the “Nikola Jovic starting next to Bam Adebayo”
Now it’s time to actually *play* Jovic next to Bam for extended minutes
This is a very tough game to win…clearly
Work on the actions utilized between your two front-court guys as much as possible – 6:31 PM

So Gabe Vincent is out again
Bam Adebayo and Dewayne Dedmon expected to play
So the same roster as last night, minus Duncan Robinson
Hmmmm – 6:28 PM

Gabe Vincent is out tonight for the Heat. Bam Adebayo and Dewayne Dedmon will warm up with the intention to play.
That will give the Heat nine available players tonight vs. Timberwolves. – 6:25 PM
