Do Miami Heat already have Roger Mason Jr. replacement in mind? - Sun Sentinel

 

[Paolo305613]

Oh, and no reason for LBJ not to play in next game. He can just wear a mask. No rest needed for him as Ira suggest. All he did was participate in one in even in the ASW and just two games so far.

After Sunday they have a few days off before the next game, so no need to bitch out of a game for no reason.

 

[Paolo305613]

As I say that, Ira says that LBJ has his mask ready - therefore, should play.

 

[Paolo305613]

LBJ possinly to star in Space Jam 2 - Where he will be settling for jumpers to avoid getting his nose broken

 

[Paolo305613]

Btw, LBJ has passed concussion test so even more reason for him to play sunday, though there was no reason for him to miss the game anyway.

Can Miami Heat afford to stay with eight-man rotation? - Sun Sentinel

 

[Paolo305613]

LBJ’s sources are now saying he isnt involved with Space Jam 2 btw. He was told they wanted him to shoot some scenes taking it to the basket, and he declined due to fear of getting his nose broken. He wanted to just take jumpers instead.

 

[Paolo305613]

Jamison, E. Clark, Roger Mason Jr. already in, soon possibly Granger, Gordon, Udrih, Metta.

Top available and soon to be available guys according to Ira Winderman. Obviously, Roger Mason Jr. is the only guy we cant go after since he was released by the Heat.

Does Miami Heat bench need boost at NBA buyout deadline? - Sun Sentinel

Ron Garretson, Brian Forte, Zach Zarba your referees for today's Heat-Bulls, 3:30 p.m., AmericanAirlines Arena (ABC)

 

[Paolo305613]

LBJ has bitched out of the game today .. Using the excuse that they don't play until Thursday - which should actually be more reason for him to play since he will be getting more than enough rest . But divas will be divas . And our divas our the biggest bitches of them all.

 

[Paolo305613]

No Jimmy Butler for the bulls

 

[Paolo305613]

The Heat are giving Greg Oden the start in place of LBJ. You read that right. Though, they should also replace the scrub in the lineup as they should have months ago. The Heat are at a big disadvantage with LBJ out and even more so with the scrub in the game.

 

[Paolo305613]

At least, this will have the scrub in his normal position of SF instead of PF - though he is really more of a SG because he isnt athletically enough for SF and useless on defense.

 

[Paolo305613]

Sources tell Sun Sentinel that Heat strongly considering signing DeAndre Liggins, who has been playing for team's Sioux Falls affiliate.Liggins would fill roster spot vacated by Roger Mason Jr., although other moves still are possible.

 

[Paolo305613]

Per Ira Winderman ^

 

[Paolo305613]

The Heat are a plus-11 in 45 minutes with Bosh & Oden playing together.
According to Ethan Skolnick - I am sure the problem with that stat is that the scrub is also on the court

 

[Paolo305613]

LeBron at the game without mask and without tape on nose

Per Ira… He should obviously be playing
