All I hope for is consistent effort, and for us to play fearlessly. It's not that difficult on the road, if you believe in yourself. Go Houston Rockets!
Chandler Parsons <strike>Lebron James</strike> goes for 41 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks. :grin:
It's an early game, but the Rockets have been in Miami since yesterday so hopefully they did all their partying last night and won't do any tonight or else it's going to be another massacre. But what are the chances of that happening? South Beach and spring break might be too tempting for young guys with tons of money to spend to pass up. I'm hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. Go Rockets!
it has got to be Howard to carry the load for us. the guards have to make sure Dwight gets a lot of touches and take advantage of the Heat's soft middle
I think Andersen and Bosh will mess with Dwight at the rim. They've been watching tape and it's not going to be pretty. Dwight's logged heavy minutes and a guy like Andersen has pretty low miles (fresh legs due to being banned for years and months at a time) with nothing to lose. Not going to be pretty.
The Heat are struggling but Spoelstra is a smart enough coach to see opportunity in their recent string of defeats. The team will be more willing to listen to him on the importance of defensive effort and offensive execution. I expect a more defensively focused Heat team to play on Sunday.
This game will come down to who shows up. The Heat have looked like crap. The Rockets have looked like crap. If both teams come out to play, watch out... this could be a barn burner.

Just be glad we're not playing Golden State. The Thibodeau-led Bucks with sharpshooter Korver playing the 5 is a matchup we haven't bested all year.
I'll be curious to see how Wade performs. He played 35 minutes against the Nuggets Friday night. Tomorrow afternoon technically isn't a B2B, but it's also not a full 2 days between games.
Chances of Houston beating the Heat twice...hard to believe...Houston can do it, but who knows...The Heat have been playing bad basketball, and we have yet to loose 3 games in a row, so this is a big game for both clubs...
