If we can't even hold the Magic to not looking like the 80's Celtics, we are going to be abused tonight.

I would have voted for the Lebron Triple-Double, but I don't know if he'll play enough minutes. Realistically, this is the Heat's game to lose, but I will still hold out hope for the upset.

[specialiststeve]

I have no reasoning but I think this will be close as the heat have been "playing down" to teams this year and up until last night we had been playing well. 102-98 heat with my brain - wolves with my heart.

[Angry Norwegian]

Chalmers scores 25+, continuing the streak of mediocre players lighting up the scoreboard vs. us.

[Aleksandar]

Well Orlando beat us, so why wouldn't we beat Miami?

Besides, their "positionless" lineups.. Come on, we have Pekovic/Love frontcourt, who's supposed to stop them?? Add Kirilenko to the mix.

And expect Shved to play good defense on Wade, guy is slowing down anyway, and didn't work on his outside shot as he was supposed to, apparently.

And AK is guarding LeBron.

And.. Anyone else got some more positive thinking to add?

We have a 15% chance of winning this one.

[silverson]

Ray Allen. Enough said.

Not that bad, I say!

Did you notice last night how Shved was able to chase JJ Reddick around the blocks, and put enough pressure on him without fouling? Maybe he can be effective against Allen too?

Oh, and Ridnour lost him after couple of steps haha

Shved was effective against Reddick? He killed us. The problem with Miami is, LeBron handles, penetrates at ease, defenses collapse, and their shooters are good. We have to hope we are hitting 3's, drawing fouls, and not turning it over, and that they don't hit their 3's, to have a chance tonight. That is asking too much.

[Aleksandar]

He killed us over the course of the game, yes. But it's because of the way we played. I doubt he would kill us in a playoff game.

meh, I have always like him, which is why I always suggest we trade for him. The problem is, until Shved gets better and stronger, we masquerade PGs at that position way too much, meaning they get rubbed off on screens easy. Its why the Budinger injury is just such a killer. Roy, I have nothing left as far as expectations from him.

love often tries to play the hero against teams like the heat.

he'll either go off for 30 and 15.

or he'll have a 10 and 10 off 4-16 from the field.

I hope pulls off a good game tonight. We really need him at his best.
