Let's go heat!

After tonight's horrible performance, I expect a full 180 tomorrow. We win big.

Revenge of the Lin?

Hopefully the Heat bring their A+ game tomorrow.

I'd like to see LeBron be aggressive this game

I'd like to see LeBron be aggressive this game

i think he is banged up, right knee and left ankle. id like to see us defend the 3 ball(which we have been poor at so far), prevent dribble penetration, and rebound

[SteBO]

Keep Harden under wraps.....and we will be A okay. Lin isn't a guy you fear driving inside and he hasn't proven to be an outside threat.

Heat 106 Rockets 96

let's see what kind of scrubtinity off the rockets bench is going to make noise now

[SteBO]

Battier used to be Rocket too.....hopefully he isn't useless tonight like the previous two games. This is a better matchup for him but that isn't saying a lot.

i see us winning this game .. but i want to see us pound them as soon as possible so lbj can rest that knee.. he is not complaining it in public but i think he is hurting and its really bothering him esp. last game .. hope by the end of the 3rd qrter , the game is ours so lebron can rest ..

Shane Battier has defended nine postups this season - fronting the post means no pass means no post possession - and bigs have gone 0-for-8.

I think battier has done pretty well this season, he is the only guy i see boxing out and he helps space the floor forcing opposing 4's to cover him at the 3pt line. He will be huge in the playoffs for us again.

As for the people saying play anthony more, i think we all forgot just how one dimensional anthony is.

[SteBO]

No doubt about that. In the playoffs, he'll be a huge player for us. In the regular season though? Not so sure. In saying that, Battier is the one guy that bigger teams are going to have a tough time contending with because most teams don't know how to deal with that cross-matchup. When he's hitting his shot, nobody will be able to matchup properly and protect the paint.
