Because we are a better team. They may have a few better players, but we are a Great Team, when we play as a Team. The months of February and March we have been playing as good as the so called "elite" teams. February and January Miami 8 Losses by a total of 66 points = -8.25 15 Wins by a total of 186 points = +12.4 All 8 losses by +.500 teams Spurs 7 losses by a total of 88 points = -12.6 17 wins by a total of 191 points = +11.2 Spurs played 13 +.500 teams during this stretch Lakers 5 losses by a total of 46 points = -9.2 18 wins by a total of 172 points = +9.5 Houston has 7 losses by only 39 points = -5.6 16 win by 171 points = 10.7 We have played 13 games against +.500 teams with a record of 8-5 During that that stretch we played LAL, MEM, DAL, NOR, POR, PHX, DEN. PHI, SAS. These past two months HTML: we have been playing extraordinarily well as a team, if we can continue you to feed off of our momentum I think we a have good chance of taking Miami out of sync and stealing a win down in South Beach, That would Definitely earn us some respect as playoff contenders!
There's a chance, but I think the heat are just too talented. If we keep it close we have a shot at winning
We're absolutely rolling right now. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we won this game. Our confidence is super high, and all the momentum is with us.
Only way we win it is if we go on scoring runs and blow them out like we did the Celtics.. absolutely no way we win this if the game is decided by less than 5 points, no matter how unclutch the Heat are. We have momentum, I think we can pull this off in all honesty, and in big fashion. Hey, we almost beat them last time we played, and we're at a way higher level of play right now.
Yeah we need to establish a huge lead going into the 4th. This can happen if Hayes does his usual on Bosh and if Lee slows Wade down some how. Otherwise they will match us point for point.
Lowry > Bibby Kevin Martin = Dwyane Wade Courtney Lee < Lebron James PatPat or Scola < Bosh Hayes > Dampier
I hope Courtney Lee starts in place of Chase. He's hitting on all cylinders right now... playing great defensively and offensively. C-Lee FTMFW!
Martin and Wade are similar in that they are both great scorers that draw contact and get to the line. Wade, however, hustles and plays some hard D. 5 blocks and 3 steals tonight.
More Like: Lowry > Bibby Kevin Martin = Wade (OFFENSIVELY ONLY) Kevin Martin <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Wade (Defensively) Lee <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Lebron PatPat or Scola < Bosh Hayes > Dampier (I'm not even sure about that, but Dampier is a f***** so he is less than anyone he is up against)
That said if the Rocket's bench can step up and beat the Heat bench by 20+ points, I think the Rockets have a shot @ this game, but that will be the key to this game or Wade and/or Lebron getting injured.
I think that as long as we win the first quarter we have a good chance of winning. Oncce the bench comes in and we alreay have a lead it would be hard for them to overcome. remember all of the heats losses these past two months have come from good teams and we have on trailed by a total of two points these last four games. Which is pretty impressive
LoL....umm DWade is the best SG in the NBA...even better that Kobe at this point in their careers...so no way Martin=Wade
