OTHER PERSPECTIVES: Hot Hot Hoops

PREVIOUSLY, THE MIAMI HEAT...have lost three straight games, most recently 107-97 at home against Charlotte on Saturday. They've lost six of their last 11 games, allowing at least 108.9 points per 100 possessions in each of their last six losses, but not allowing more than 101.2 points per 100 possessions in any of the five victories. They've been all over the place offensively over the same period.

The Hawks beat the Heat 105-90 in Miami on November 18th in the only previous meeting between the teams this season.

Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
