Game Thread: Miami Heat vs Charlotte Bobcats Series Thread

Do Miami Heat need to rev their NBA playoff motor a bit more? - Sun Sentinel

The answer to this is a big fat yes

 

[Paolo305613]

Steve Clifford said he had no concern Josh McRoberts would be suspended because the foul wasn't "malicious."

Per a Bobcats beat writer

Doesnt matter if he didnt get suspended or not. Im sure Haslam has probably already told coach Spo, look im going to give you about 5 min and then im going to foul him really hard, dont plan on me playing anymore this game. LOL.. i wouldnt be surpised to see some retaliation from Haslem.

UD is too valuable. I dont think it should be him to do it. Bring it scrub battier - he is the king of dirty and bad fouls on the team - he is useless anyway… he will bring nothing to the team this series or the entire playoffs, so if he gets suspended multiple games it wont matter and it will actually be good for the team if he is suspended and unable to even be considered in a game and away from the team… hopefully Spo assigns scrub battier for the job… he is perfect for it with his dirty fouls

im dont think the heat will retaliate. the old school eastern conference fan in me really hopes they do.. just not sure miami wants to even get into that game with the bobcats. although, it would send a great message.

Wiz will sweep the Bulls - wouldnt want the Heat to face the Wiz they are playing hard especially Wall - And , of course, playing hard is a problem for the Heat

Are Miami Heat burning out stars against Charlotte Bobcats? - Sun Sentinel

This has got to be one of the most silly questions ever asked in the history of Ask Ira. “ are the miami heat burning out stars against the Bobcats?”

Are you serious? Is this a serious question? is this real life?

The stars especially Diva Wade and James have been babied akk through the season so there should be no excuses of burning them out… They should be fresher than any other players in the league. People really need to stop making excuses for these lazy clowns… In fact, from here until the Heat reach their goal of NBA champs, they should play all of the 48 minutes + of the games that remain on that journey.

Al Jefferson is expected to play as he is once again told there is no way to do further damage to his curent injury

 

[Paolo305613]

Milsap is a bad man. Hope Hawks can take care of this game… need to get rid of Indy in 5

Hey Paolo

 

[Paolo305613]

NeNe suspended 1 game for holding Jimmy Butler in a choke-hold… shouldve finished off the choke on that thug

 

[Paolo305613]

Pacers make some scrub battier-type lucky shots late to tie the series with the Hawks… Hawks helped them out by trying to go for the two pointer looking for an And-1 rather than a 3pt shot of which they had a great shot of making and maybe forcing a 4 point play

 

[Paolo305613]

Steve Clifford on Al Jefferson: "I don't see a lot of chance for him to get a lot better, honestly."

Via Ethan Skolnick…

The Heat have to do their job in helping Al recover and get them out of the playoffs within the next two games.

LeBron essentially asking Adam Silver for Sterling's expulsion, that he "must do something fast before this gets out of hand.”


RE: Donald Sterling comments


I find these comments by LBJ and the other players comments on this matter I bit ignorant when it comes to the whole racial topic…I have seen these guys twitter feeds in the past and heard them get caught by the camera also using racial words, such as the N-word and other profane language.

Still, something must be done and must be done to send a very clear and loud message on the topic.

 

[Paolo305613]

In other news, Michael Beasley and Justin Hamilton again inactive . Saving Beas for later in the playoffs when we face tougher opponents

 

[Paolo305613]

Same starting lineup for the Heat - The best 5 - Chalmers, Wade, LBJ, CB, UD

 

[Paolo305613]

LOL per some beat writers on twitter, Dirk asked ref , tony brothers “ what are you guys smoking” after a bad call

 

[Paolo305613]

LBJ to the team in the pre-game huddle via a video on the teams official instagram “offensively and defensively y’all follow my lead from the jump, we can come out of here with a win”

That can go either way

 

[bksballer89]

I agree with Lebron

 

[Paolo305613]

Offensively.. Maybe I agree with him , until he decides to get complacent… Defensively is the wild-card because he often just gives up on D … too often
