Miami Heat vs Chicago Bulls Game Thread

Any bold predictions for tonight? It seems that this season - The inactives will be different on a game-to-game basis - Who will the inactives be tonight?

After our first championship, opening night against the Bulls was not fun... Hope that is not the case tonight.

I'm thinking Oden and Mason for tonight

Won't happen again. That team was extremely old and very out of shape

Oden (no brainer), Mason Jr?, Jones?

Could easily be Lewis or Beasley.

I'll go with top 3 though.

Probably.
I was thinking they only dress 12.

Why would they that when the league allows you to dress 13?

Anyway I just watched youtube clips of Game 6, Game 7, and the locker room celebration of the 2013 finals for the final time

Greg Oden and Roger Mason Jr. inactive for Heat. No inactives for Bulls, who are carrying NBA minimum of 13.

Via Ira Winderman on twitter.

Sucks I wanted to see Oden in action already - But, this will happen a lot this season given how loaded we are... someone good will always be left out.

A few seasons ego, I think it was during the shortend season, the league changed the rule to activate as many as 13 players for game-time meaning only needing two inactives.

A bit disappointed the big 3 were left for last in the ring presentation - makes it seem like its all about them... Should have mixed it up or gone with them first... make it about the team, not just 3 guys.

My rant for tonight - so far.

Whatever the name of the song, good to have it back - Always gets me hyped along with that radioactive jam and Phil Colins in the air tonight.. all great get hype songs for game time

 

[bksballer89]

This is so damn emotional

 

[Paolo305613]

I have cried like a bitch after we have won it each time - I choke up during ring ceremony though. Havent completely lost it since I saw my boy Zo hang it up... That hurt big time.

UD to start the game alongside CB... Lets see how long UD is left in to start and how long this last as our starting 5

Just for fun..

here are my predictions for awards this season

MVP: Kevin Durant. -- Lebron will be there.. but I think like when Barkley and Malone won their MVPs.. voters will be tired of the giving it to Lebron.

ROY: Ben Mclemore
DPOY: LeBron James
6th Man: Jamal Crawford
Most Improved: Eric Bledsoe
COY: Doc Rivers

I think this starting lineup should last most of the season unless he is replaced by bird eventually but Battier is too small to play the 4 for most of the regular season

 

[bksballer89]

Bosh need to get his ass inside

 

[Heatles84]

I'd be cool with Lebron getting DPOY. Heat starting out flat on jump shots though. Let's Go Heat!!!!

bird is a better center than haslem. but I think they like his spark off the bench. doesn't really matter who starts. I want to see who finishes in a close game

UD draws a charger - Season officially has begun

 

[Heatles84]

Damn Bosh, c'mon bruh
