Dion Waiters declared officially OUT for tomorrow night

As expected

 

[Paolo305613]

As expected

Seems like he and the team are confident it won't be long term - so thats good news

Seems like he and the team are confident it won't be long term - so thats good news

Last time he only missed 3 games which amounted to a week and from what Spo said today, that one was worse. So hopefully we're looking at the same timeframe

 

[Paolo305613]

J-Rich had a slightly better game last night - hopefully that continues and helps in this situation

 

[Paolo305613]

Fuck you and your lottery aspirations -- they are dead!

If Justise can return while this playoff run is still alive and find a way to contribute , unlike he was earlier in the season prior to injury -- much like J-Rich, thats only going to help this team and its growth/youth movement.

 

[Paolo305613]

Given he feels its worse - I think the fact that he is shooting to return BEFORE the season ends is great news. Lets hope it happens.

Lets hope we can continue the good times in his absence -- and finish in the best spot possible heading into playoffs.

 

[Paolo305613]

No reason why it shouldn't continue to be Ellington - But at least another shot for J-Rich to show himself in the starting lineup - He MUST make the best of it

 

[Paolo305613]

Another good and needed start from Hassan - if he can stay away from falling in love with the jumpers - he should have a dominating, efficient night

 

[Paolo305613]

Goran gets a taste of his own medicine -- forced into a Scrub Battier moment against Lilliard

 

[Paolo305613]

Uneven second quarter for Heat - go into half down 1 -- not playing at their best yet on either end.

 

[Paolo305613]

Another bad third quarter start like last game for Heat -- lets see if they can overcome this one - no indictions they will so far

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat making run now - lets see how it goes

 

[Paolo305613]

POR now responding - gonna be one of those mights maybe

 

[Paolo305613]

-6 into the 4th and that could be too much of a deficit for the Heat to overcome with the way they are playing tonight

 

[Paolo305613]

Slim chances for the Heat - but the longer the ineffective Willie Reed is out there over Hassan in this fourth quarter, the smaller our chances of making this a game in the 4th

 

[Paolo305613]

And as I say that, Heat making another run

 

[Paolo305613]

Lilliard Dagger potentially there
