Thanks for your input Skip

My instincts tell me this team is gonna turn it up after the All-Star break. Its not about how you start but how you finish.

Not exactly. If I remember correctly, we finished last season on a sour note and seemingly turned it on come playoff time...

What is up with Lebron's minutes? Its been like 20 games in a row he has played the entire 2nd half. If we keep this up he is going to be tired when the playoffs come around.

WTF Miami!? Seriously WTF!? I really hope they start giving at least a little bit of a **** about the regular season at some point this year. Clearly won't have home court if they make it to the finals, and this crap play is just keeping the door wide open for a number of teams in the East to pass the Heat.

don't need home court, tho it would be nice.

I would reconsider that. We're not the same team that used to dominate and looked forward to road games.

Not the same team? do we still have lebron, wade, and bosh?

[FreakaNashur]

they didn't play bad this game...rebounded the ball well..however. the turnover's kept the Tblazers in the game and they are a pretty good perimeter team..

I like that Oden agent (Conley) and Riley are keeping the Oden signing hush hush. They don't want teams to know that the heat are about to get rejuvenated Oden. It's obvious that Lebron and Oden are good friends and its going to be the best situation for his career playing along side the big 3, Less wear and tear and a chance to win a few championship before his career is over.

We played with and edge. A chip on our shoulders. I have not seen none of that once this season so far.
