Week of March 1

Heat: Since my last blog post, many things have happened with the Heat.  On saturday they play the Atlanta Hawks and lost a close 93-91 game.  It was discouraging considering the Hawks gave 4 players rest, but the Heat are still adjusting to playing without their leading scorer, Chris Bosh.  Dwyane wade summed it up, "We still don't all know each other, but we're out there fighting for this thing."  He summed it up well in that quote as the Heat came out blazing in their game against the Phoenix Suns on Monday.  This wasn't just another game as Heat new comer Goran Dragic was playing against his old team in the Suns.  This game was littered with technicals, ejections, and hard fouls as the Suns still seamed to be a little hurt after Dragic's leave.  Hassan Whiteside finished the game with 17 points and 10 rebounds before being ejected for tackling a Suns player to the ground who apparently struck Whiteside on the face.  It's great to see intensity from a young player like Whiteside but its unfortunate that he wasn't able to play with his team in the 4th quarter.  Hopefully next time he can control his emotions and continue to dominate other centers around the league. In the end the heat prevailed 115-98.  Here's a link where you can watch the entertaining game highlights: http://www.nba.com/games/20150302/PHXMIA/gameinfo.html?ls=eref:google:1b:post
