Pelicans 111, Heat 88: Ethan Skolnick takes five

Hey it’s even SK for five on the floor on the five reason Sports Network after we just watched one of the worst exhibitions of basketball that the Miami Heat have put on in quite some time they lose 111 to 88 to the New Orleans Pelicans and actually that 88 point

Total which is pathetic for the year 2024 that was padded at the End by Cole Sider scoring 14 points before that they heated shot 20% from three seems like every time that they get off to a fast start in a game like they did today the offense falls apart and they’re crawling

To try to get to 90 to 95 points they stop Zion that’s like the one thing that they did effectively tonight he was not a factor but CJ McCullum had 30 he’s always killed the Heat and I hate to say it but after the Skirmish that they had

In New Orleans everybody thought Jimmy Butler would come out with a lot of energy and typically it works the other way and actually Naji Marshall who was involved in that Skirmish in New Orleans he out play Jimmy Butler tonight Jimmy was just not effective enough um had a

Lot of trouble with New Orleans length whether it was herb Jones or Trey Murphy or Marshall or any of the others or even Zion bam really didn’t show up until late in the game they went long periods of time without getting the ball to him I thought there were times that Thomas

Bryant was actually more impactful than him and er speler just kept cycling through rotations he played everybody Patty Mills is now three for his last 31 from three and yet he’s the spacer in the starting lineup so they desperately need to get Duncan Robinson back I did

Speak to him before the game along with other reporters and he seemed seems like he’s on the road to recovery so he might even be able to play on Sunday so we’ll see how that works out but for right now um just a dreadful performance by the

Heat against New Orleans and this keeps them in the eight seed they had an opportunity with the Pacers and the Sixers on the west coast to possibly pick up some ground but they’re stuck in the playin and they’re playing like a playin team or worse at the moment so

They’ll need a much better effort against Cleveland on Sunday again Ethan scol for five on the floor and the five reason Sports Network after the Heat lose 111 to 88 to the Cleveland C excuse me well they may lose to Cleveland on Sunday to the New Orleans Pelicans my

Apologies have a good night everybody
