Heat Break Losing Streak

Hey, they finally won another game! I want to keep losing as much as possible, but it would be preferable to avoid these embarrassing double-digit game losing streaks. Tonight the Heat snapped an 11-game slide against the woeful Sacramento Kings, 107-86.

The surprise is that they did so with Wade scoring only 15 points to go with another 5 turnovers. The reason they were still able to win was due to the magnificent Shawn Marion, who poured in 24 points and 8 boards. The rest of the team actually contributed as well, with 7 of the 8 main rotation guys scoring in double figures.

I'm still disappointed that we didn't see more Dorell Wright and that Daequan Cook has been officially banished to the D-League. It's one thing to throw a young rookie to the fire when he isn't ready, but when you are so far out of the playoff hunt, what do you have to lose? If Cook regains his confidence by beating up on a bunch of D-Leaguers, then I'm not sure thats he has the right kind of mindset.

Nonetheless, the victory is refreshing. Particularly considering the fact Minnesota beat Utah and remains 1.5 games behind us for the worst record. Michael Beasley has been absolutely tearing it up of late, and against quality competition. He is the most sure-fire player coming out of the draft in a couple of years, so we are lucky we are this bad this year.
