Pathetic Showing for Miami Heat

A poor start for the Heat led to yet another loss. This time the Heat lost to the worst team in the NBA, the Minnesota Timberwolves. Scratch that. This is the worst team in the NBA. Even with Wade, they can't seem to get anything going against anyone. It's disappointing and embarrassing to be a Miami fan right now.

Wade's 25 points weren't enough as the Heat lost 101-91. Without any help from his teammates, Dwyane is forced to do too much and turned the ball over unforced thrice in the closing minutes. He's either trying too hard or not 100% or more likely, both. The only guy who showed up consistently for the Heat was Daequan Cook, who provided 15 solid points off the bench.

Minnesota was all over the offensive boards and Rashad McCants was unstoppable tonight. Earl Barron mishandled two easy Wade passes that should have been dunks. It's obvious he doesn't have much of an inside game. Luke Jackson is still terrible.

Losing to Minny is pretty much a new low. They had 4 wins up till tonight's game and had the worst record in the NBA. That remains the same even now, but don't fool yourselves into thinking Miami is better than anyone. This 8 game losing streak has been demoralizing to the point where it's no longer entertaining to watch this team even play.
