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

Latest Ask Ira - Asking if the Heat gave their best effort last night - It doesnt take a 5 year old to know they didnt play with effort last night. They havent given their best efforts all year.

And other important things Ira addresses in his latest Ask Ira

Magic release Hedo Turkoglu - Any interest here - Replace The Scrub with this guy. He still has it.

Battier missed shootaround with a sore quad. Dwyane Wade a game time decision

Per Shandel Richardson of the Sun-Sentinel

This would be great if the scrub Shane Battier misses the game, as it would make the game easier for the Heat. Ira making an excuse for the diva that he will miss the game tonight because there is a game tomorrow - as if that is a good excuse but I guess it is for a bitch like Wade.

Also, in other news - Beasley’s contract becomes guranteed at 5pm on Tuesday

Vucevic out for Orlando which is good news - The diva is still a GTD as is the scrub, though if he is out, it would make the game even MORE easy now with Vucevic out

 

[Paolo305613]

Diva Wade will in fact play tonight - Which almost gurantees it is tomorrow night he sits out.

Chris Bosh leads the league in percentage in this stat(min. 10 3-PT FGA) Not The Scrub Shane Battier

Scrub is officially inactive along with Greg Oden - Rashard Lewis gets the start - Another case of Spo wanting to keep things with the bench the same as it seemed that Lewis was out of the rotation recently -Now, he elects to go with him rather than give the start to anyone else - But, anyone is better than The Scrub

Referees: Tom Washington, Dick Bavetta, Josh Tiven.

 

[Paolo305613]

Rashard Lewis making an impact already - replace him with The Scrub
