Lin and Howard both missed practice due to "sore backs." Curious how both guys got their backs sore at the same time. What have they been doing?
I blame mchale on this one. no reason asik should be playing only 5mins in a half, when hes a top rebounder and defensive center. No wonder why asik wanted out. Howard should be playing 30 mins going into playoffs. He has the best backup player on this team.
I am glad that this game is at home and we had 3 days rest to prepare for it. I just dont like Miami's current hot streak.
Haha i'm really not sure if this is a joke or not, but it made me laugh nonetheless. Dude I'm glad i'm not the only one that thought these two were identical! Doesn't anyone knock anymore???
Team defense and packing the paint is gonna be key...there is no one big enough and strong enough to guard Lebron on our team. That being said...i'd let Lebron get his, but make sure he isnt making life easy for others as well. First, the Rockets have to dominate the paint: the 4 and 5 spot has to come up big... Secondly, the Rockets have to get solid play from both guards...Bev has to make Chalmers and Ray Allen his btch...Harden needs to force their guards to be able to guard. The Rockets match up really well with the Heat now...But once again the key will always be about Lebron. The less he is able to be a play maker, the less likely the Heat pulls out a win in Houston. Expecting yet another close matchup and the Rockets pulling out a win bc of huge buckets from Harden and Parsons.
No statement game by any means. It's cliché to say, but it's just 1 out of 82. Good measuring stick, though.
It is a statement game. It tells the world that the Heat don't own us. It is also a must win game if we want to keep up with the Blazers and keep ourselves from falling below #6 seed. It's even more important if we want to get back to #3 seed or even catch up on the Spurs and win the #2 seed.
Asik don't convict me! <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/CaK_FgrIlYY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
