Beasley out again tonight - The diva will be a game-time decision, though no real reasons exist for him to sit out a game especially with the day off we had.

Erik Spoelstra on incorporating Greg Oden eventually: "We'll get to that one when we get to that one."

The diva will play and start -- same starters , sadly including the useless scrub Shane Battier . Beasley and Oden inactive

It is really great to see CB be more aggressive - It is no surprise he is getting good results from it in every aspect of his game.

7th on the All-time list for 3’s is Rashard Lewis now. Take that, Shane

Bosh and crew begin to settle and now we are down 8

Mike James , 38, was just waived from the Bulls - any interest there since some always say how a third PG could help - ?

Pistons taking care of the Pacers - Heat 0-1 vs the Pacers and 1-1 vs Pistons - Makes both losses that much more sad and disappointing for the Heat

 

[Paolo305613]

LeBron James: 30 points (13-17 FG), 9 rebounds and 9 assists
Dwyane Wade: 27 points and 5 rebounds
Chris Bosh: 20 points and 6 rebounds
Norris Cole: 13 points and 4 assists
Mario Chalmers: 12 points and 8 assists

Off the bench and in limited minutes Roger Mason Jr., Udonis Haslem who should be starting and Joel Anthony who is under-apperciated, scored more points in less time than the scrub who was scoreless as usual in 17 minutes too long , thankfully didnt waste any possessions taking any shots… got a lucky block and got his usual 4 fouls because he cant play defense. Another stellar , all-star, hall of fame performance for our starting scrub…NOT. Pure garbage.

The Pistons are a good team and actually have 1 of the better starting lineups in the league. If you expect to go 82-0 you will be disappointed every yr and it seems like you're expecting that every yr.

Should have checked the score before I posted my last.

Right team won in Boston, wrong one in Florida.

Could have been worse.

 

[bksballer89]

BTW if this is how D-Wade looks when healthy, we will win another title. This guy has been fantastic in his games this yr

 

[Paolo305613]

63.4% FG shooting (45/71) is a franchise record for the @MiamiHEAT tonight. James (76.5%), Wade (64.3%), & Bosh (61.5%) all shot above 60%.

And to think, they got complacent again midway through the game.

 

[Paolo305613]

Big time under-statement.

If you expect to go 82-0 you will be disappointed every yr and it seems like you're expecting that every yr.

You, young sir, are as ignorant as they come, eh? We have had this conversation before. First and foremost, I dont make predictions about records, though when we did discuss records I said the Heat should be able to win 67-70 games. Reading comprehension is important and your lacking in it very much.

Yet after any loss you bitch about the Heat not playing to their full potential and getting complacent. You even go as far as to say that no team should beat the Heat so long as they show up. Yet, you don't expect us to go 82-0. LOL, which is it? You know there are other good teams in the NBA.

Anyone with a brain knows the Heat should destroy any team in the NBA if they play up to their potential
