Be prepared.....We're going to be rusty on tuesday. You don't even get this long of a break during AS weekend. They haven't had this long of a break without playing competitive basketball since September

The Heat need to get in on this 4-point play party - But, not the ones scrub battier is usually involved in where he fouls somebody shooting a 3 as usual but one of jesus shuttlesworth hitting one on the haters

The long break should be a good thing - But, we all know that isnt how the Heat work - They don’t take full advantage of the time off to work on their game - they just sit around and be lazy and do things just to say they did but its as good as nothing.

Again, the long break should be a good thing if they do what they have to do - but, im glad to see nothing has changed and you already have excuses made for them

I think it will help in the long haul but EVERY TEAM will come out rusty for a quarter or a half when you're off for 7 days because you're used to playing every other day or at least every 2 days. These guys are not used to being off and not playing competitive basketball for so long once preseason starts. It doesn't matter how hard you go in practice, you cannot simulate playoff level basketball in practice

Can Miami Heat match up with Brooklyn Nets' small lineup? - Sun Sentinel

Still think the Raptors pull it off in game 7 - and scrub battier shouldnt see any action no matter the matchup… he should just be on the inactive list the rest of the way

Your right - it doesnt matter how hard you go in practice - thing is, they dont go hard enough in practice most of the time from what I have seen - and certainly dont always go hard in games - so whats the problem

Miami Heat await winner of Toronto Raptors-Brooklyn Nets in NBA playoffs - Sun Sentinel

 

[Paolo305613]

Game 1 - Tuesday vs Toronto/Brooklyn, time TBD, TNT
Game 2 – Thursday vs Toronto/Brooklyn, time TBD, ESPN2
Game 3 – Saturday at Toronto/Brooklyn, 8pm, ABC
Game 4 – May 12 at Toronto/Brooklyn, time TBD, TNT
*Game 5 – May 14 vs Toronto/Brooklyn, time TBD, TNT
*Game 6 – May 16 at Toronto/Brooklyn, time TBD, ESPN
*Game 7 – May 18 vs Toronto/Brooklyn, time TBD, ABC


There is a chance I am wrong but I believe these games will also be on Sun Sports, except for when the game is on ABC and TNT?

So, we should get game 2 locally even though its on ESPN 2

 

[Paolo305613]

Pacers can thank the NBA for helping them advance to the second round by not suspending Paul George like they should have .

 

[Paolo305613]

Does Roy Hibbert again loom as Miami Heat playoff threat? - Sun Sentinel

 

[bksballer89]

I won't be posting on this board much during the series

 

[Paolo305613]

And Brooklyn can thank the Raptors for a horrible play call to end that game

 

[Paolo305613]

Completely forgot about the draft - Still, game 2 shouldve gone to TNT or ABC

 

[Paolo305613]

Home teams were 4-1 in Game 7s this weekend

This speaks to the importance of HCA - of which the Heat dont have in the East unless they play any team not named Pacers .

This speaks to the importance of every regular season game of which the Heat did a very bad job at realizing the importance of so many games - Proof is in the fact that they lost 13 games vs teams 500. or less.

they won 14 to teams over .500.

Less scrub battier should help improve in all stats especially the negative ones

HCA only means something if you get to a game 7. There is no doubt in my mind that if the Heat are up 3-2 on Indy or one of the teams out west who we don't have HCA against that they'll treat game 6 like a game 7 and close that team out. Memphis & ATL both had the ideal situation for any team without HCA. Up 3-2 going back home for game 6 is as good as it gets.

BTW there is absolutely no reason for Udonis to start in this series. He can't guard anyone in the Nets starting lineup. We will be in trouble if he starts because that is easy buckets for Johnson or Pierce because UD will be on them 15 minutes out of the game

 

[Paolo305613]

BTW there is absolutely no reason for Udonis to start in this series.

You have obviously lost your mind - But we knew that already. UD will start - there is no one else we can possibly start in his place - all the other options are better suited to come off the bench - It is the playoff, you play to your strength and go with your best 5 guys to start the game - UD being one of them along with the rest of the starters.

We just dont have enough or any options that are better to start - certainly scrub battier wont be starting - he is trash… in fact, he should be sent home to an early retirement with the other teams already eliminated from the playoffs… if the heat start him, we will certainly be one of the teams watching from home earlier than expected .

 

[Paolo305613]

Do Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett have enough left to push Heat? - Sun Sentinel

 

[bksballer89]

Ud is a pf. The nets lineup consists of 1 pg, 2 sg, 1 sf, and 1 center. Who is he guarding? Pierce & joe Johnson would eat him alive and obviously bosh is guarding garnett.

its fitting its Brooklyn we have to play. We win this series in 5 games. We win the first 2, lose game 3, then win 4 and 5.
