Antoine Walker has been absolutely horrible for the Heat this season.  He looks like he’s not even interested in playing this season and he’s also been suspended because of his poor conditiong.  Walker has played in 32 games this season and has averaged 24.0 minutes, 8.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game.  Walker has a reputation as that of a good shooter but he’s been awful this season.  He’s hitting 40.8% from the floor, but he needs to quit shooting three’s as he only hit 29 of 114 for 25.4%.  He also has been pathetic at the free throw line as he’s only hit 38%.  He will probably find a nice spot on the bench if he doesn’t improve soon.

The Heat shot well from the floor as they hit 50.8% of their shots from the floor.  Dwyane Wade had a great game because no one on the Jazz could cover him, so they kept fouling him.  Wade hit an amazing 21 of 23 free throws and wound up with 32 points, 10 assists and 6 steals.  Jason Williams played well despite his bad knee with 20 points and 4 rebounds. Jason Kapano had another solid game with 18 points and 6 rebounds.

The Heat improved to 17-19 on the season with this win.  http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=270113026

The Miami Heat are sitting in third place in the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference with a 14-19 record on the season.  The Heat are 6 games behind the Orlando Magic.  The Heat are having big-time problems on offense as they’re only averaging 93.0 points per game which is 27th in the NBA.  True, the Heat have had to deal with injuries to Shaquille O’Neal and Dwyane Wade but they still have alot of underachieving veterans who could have tried to step up.  Dwyane Wade is still playing at a very high level as he’s averaging 27.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.2 blocks per game so far this season.  Two guys you can’t get on for their effort are Udonis Haslem and Alonzo Mourning.  Haslem is averaging 11.2 points and 8.7 rebounds per game.  Zo has done a good job filling in for Shaq.  Mourning is averaging 9.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game.  The Heat need to motivate Gary Payton, Antoine Walker, Jason Williams and James Posey if they’re going to have any chance at a repeat.

The Miami Heat have suspended both Jamey Posey and Antoine Walker until thier body fat falls within team guidelines.  Neither of these guys have played that well this season, but I don’t think it’s because they are a couple pounds over-weight.  They just don’t look motivated after winning the Championship last season.  Walker is having an awful season as he’s averaging 7.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in 24.2 minutes.  Walker is also only shooting 39.7% from the floor and 22.1% on 3-pointers.  James Posey is averaging 25.4 minutes, 7.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.  The Heat need these two players back and motivated if they have any hope of making the playoffs and having a chance to defend their trophy.

Things were looking bad for the Heat heading into the 4th quarter as they were trailing 77-69.  But the Heat really turned up the defense in the 4th quarter as they outscored the Trailblazers 24-13 and won the game.  Dwyane Wade returned from injury and had a great game with 33 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.  Jason Kapano also had a solid game with 19 points.  He hit alot of key shots for the Heat in the 4th quarter comeback.

The Heat improved to 14-19 on the season with this win.  http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=270107022

Jason Kapano has been playing real well in his last 6 games (4 starts) for the Heat.  He has averaged 31.7 minutes per game and has been shooting lights out hitting 51.6% from the floor.  He also has hit 13 of his last 19 3-point shots (68.4%) which has really helped the Heat out on offense.  Kapano has averaged 13.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists in those previous 6 games.  If Kapano keeps playing like this, the Heat will have to keep giving him big minutes.
