As a life long Heat fan, I think a few of you can agree with me on this - It is awesome to see the Knicks suck right now?

Wade doing cart-wheels as he video-bombs LBJ during post game last night.. His knees looked fine there… hmm.. No rest needed

It is, but I want to see them make the playoffs as the 8th seed. The way the NBA rigs the lottery, you know if they're in there they're going to get a top 3 pick.

Miami Heat, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade commentary - Sun Sentinel

Latest Ask Ira - pretty much about each game played, and performances like the one Wade had - are cementing Lebrons future, which will more than likely be in the 305

Today’s ask Ira about Greg Oden and whose minutes he would take when he gets back and more

Time to invest more vcash into tonights game - As mentioned before, Mario Chalmers expected to return tonight but the better news is, Shane Battier will be out with a cold - Udonis Haslem could be back starting or at least back in the rotation for at least today. This will allow Beasley and Lewis more PT as well per Ira Winderman.

 

[Paolo305613]

The line is currently 8.5 Heat as favorite for tonight - With Shane out, that should go up by 10

The scrub and Oden officially inactive

 

[Paolo305613]

Well, it looks as though Spo and the Heat staff obviously have something against UD - The scrub is inactive tonight, yet UD can’t even get back in the starting lineup - Instead, Rashard Lewis is the starter, which is fine - And, should be the starter, if no one else when UD is not starting as opposed to the scrub.

Either way, hopefully UD sees playing time - And with the scrub out, this should be a cake-walk

Gotta say my prayers for Shane..We need him out there

And this just shows what Spo thinks of UD

 

[bksballer89]

Bynum is going to destroy this Bosh guy

 

[bksballer89]

Wade is going to kill this kid

 

[bksballer89]

This guy Bosh can't even grab a freaking rebound. Sit his ass now

 

[Heatles84]

Wade is abusing whomever is guarding him. Bosh needs to stop being a bitch on the boards.

 

[bksballer89]

Bosh must go. I want us to re-sign Wade and James and sign a real center or trade for one.

 

[bksballer89]

bad start

 

[Paolo305613]

They promised Shane they wouldnt make him look bad by starting the game hot, so instead they decide to keep things as they were and get off to a slow start -- but they will start to pull away soon… They may not play much if at all during the 4th qtr… the starters that is

 

[bksballer89]

Bosh-2 points and 3 rebounds at the half

 

[Flauge]

bosh is having his worse year in Miami so far. I know you would rather Miami sign a real center.. but who? who is out there after this season? I think LeBron opts out as it makes sense for him... but I don't think bosh or wade do. these options are player options if im right. so bosh/wade are likely back next year at original contract price for 2 more years.
