Huh?

 

[Paolo305613]

Typo. Meant to say “ same inactives such as CB, McRob and Shabazz and starters from last game

In one-on-one interview, Chris Bosh disclosed to the Miami Herald that he experienced intense pain in Haiti at height of medical scare.

Per Joseph Goodman

Some may not like it because they want the Heat to tank for draft picks - but at least to start with, the Heat are giving it every thing they have. You play to win the game! And if winning these games cost us a top pick like our lousy fans want - that would just be great . Crushing their souls even deeper would just be perfect

 

[Paolo305613]

Some idiot in here who wants to tank games for draft picks instead of playoff chances - claimed that Spo would “ find a way to screw this up to” as always, making the coach the scapegoat because he refuses to hold the players accountable - but the point is, just maybe Spo and the Heat front office probably met with the team earlier today to ask THEM what they wanted to do - and I am sure they all agreed to play to win and let the chips fall where they may

We have the H2H tie break against Indiana?

 

[Paolo305613]

Heard it there in by our broadcasters - Whiteside now the first Heat since Shaq to average a double double. Think about that. Consider the fact he didnt even start the season on an NBA roster. Like it or not, great coaching has a lot to do with his play currently

Nope.

Maybe a 3 way tiebreaker with them and Brooklyn but they won 3 of 4 against us H2H so nope

 

[Paolo305613]

Another Heat 4th quarter collapse at home ? WOuld be fitting and the proper send off for our clown fans

 

[Paolo305613]

the tiebreaker that favors the Heat is a 3-team tiebreaker

 

[Paolo305613]

Diva Wade , of course, trying to do what he can to be a big part of the 4th quarter collapse in the clutch

 

[Paolo305613]

Dagger by Deng - The Heat will live to die another day

Going to assume we're eliminated tomorrow. Washington has nothing to play for. They're locked in to the 5 spot

Or the fact that he's 7 ft tall and can dunk without jumping.

So with Utah winning tonight it basically guarantee that we shoul get our first round pick unless Indy/Brooklyn choke

Thats also a factor but not as much as what I mentioned before

Most nights the Heat dont play have usually been their best nights - that might not be the case on this night. That said, the Wizards have been up and down in the second half of the season after a hot start in the first half - I would think they want to go into the post-season with momentum - which is why I think they will at least to start with, attempt to win their game - despite being locked in to 5th seed.
