No punishment for LBJ on his flagrant foul… He gets off easy again.

We are about to go on a roll.....I can feel it.

Can you Paolo?

Can you Paolo?

Not sure if I feel it - I just know they NEED to get on a roll. No reason for them not to be able to go undefeated the rest of the season. Though, we do have a few games left against teams we shouldnt lose and have lost to already this season be it by small or big margins -- Still, we should be able to keep the foot on the gas and go on defeated the rest of the way.

Pacers lost last night to the Wizards of all teams - yet, we have trouble with beating the Pacers AND the Wizards - But, with the loss we are back to just 2 games behind the Pacers for the one seed. Pacers dont play until Sunday vs Cleveland at 3pm - So, we have a shot to at move closer for at least another night - And maybe make our final matchup with the Pacers meaningful again.

Like I said last night - We had many guys out last night and blew out the Pistons - no reason why we cant do that again and by an even bigger margin against the lowly Bucks who are 14-58 the worst in the league

Will Miami Heat renew push for No. 1 NBA East seed? - Sun Sentinel

The Latest Ask Ira ask - If the Heat will renew their push for the 1 seed? They still can and should as long as they remain no more than 2 games out. In his answer to the question Ira mentions how he feels they will go for it “when everyone is available” unless their are real injuries, everyone should be available… So as long as guys arent out due to “rest” and listed with fake injuries as has been the case for Wade all season long and LBJ a few times - they should all play the remaining games and do so by giving a full and quality effort..

The 1 seed is still there for the taking - the Pacers keep giving it to us, we just have to want to take it… If they dont want it - you have to question if they even want to win a title.

Detroit Pistons Bad Boys Preach 'Art of War' to 2014 Miami Heat | Bleacher Report

Advice to Heat from Pistons Bad Boys “ when you get hit, hit back”

Problem with the Heat is when they get hit or face adversity.. they back down..They only show up when things are easy.

 

[bksballer89]

The heat usually hits back. Have you not been around the last 3 yrs?

In 2011 Boston hit them and james jones/wade hit back. Geat won that series 4-1.
In 2012 tyler hansborough hit the heat. Dexter pittman hit back. Heat won series 4-2.
In 2013 Chicago hit Miami, birdman hit back. Heat.won series 4-1

 

[bksballer89]

The heat will be the top seed

 

[Paolo305613]

In 2011 Boston hit them and james jones/wade hit back. Geat won that series 4-1.

Who are the Geat?

And , you forgot that in 2011 the Heat felt short of the ultimate goal which is all that matters in a given season.

Bucks will dress 9 tonight

Per Ethan Skolnick - The Bucks will be the ones short-handed tonight - so more reason to win by way of a blowout again tonight

 

[Paolo305613]

Wade, Oden, Chalmers, Allen out again for the Heat - But, the Bucks are also short-handed and the Heat should win with ease as long as scrub battier doesnt come in the game

 

[bksballer89]

What's the deal with Chalmers? And how serious is Wade hammy injury?

 

[Paolo305613]

And how serious is Wade hammy injury?

Not serious at all more than likely. And its not really a hammy… its vaginal discomfort for him as usual.

Chalmers looked to be in serious pain the other day - tried to play through it but just couldnt… Nothing has even been said about his injury since it happend so i dont know if that means its nothing and they are just giving him time off or if its rather serious and they dont want to say nothing. we will see… Next game is monday so we will see what is said about him by then, if anything

4 key guys out for the bucks also.

 

[Paolo305613]

The Fans have voted and only 7% wanted Jason Jackson to make the departure of scrub battier as seasons end to be the spotlight - instead, the emergence of UD gets the honor as he deserves it… People are finally realizing how useless Scrub Battier is and want him gone already after robbing the Heat of money and two rings .

 

[Paolo305613]

Toney Douglas with the early solid defense and energy what scrub battier never brings

 

[Paolo305613]

Typical lackluster start to the game the first few minutes for the Heat after a quality performance the night before

 

[Paolo305613]

3 for JJ instant offense JJ - what Scrub Battier isnt

 

[Paolo305613]

Spo is wanting to lose this game - Putting scrub battier in there early as part of his farewell tour… he wants to have him go out there and embarrass himself
