Crikey, did Miley Cyrus have an enlargement job? Or do I really just have no clue what she looks like...

Anyway, going to be a close game, but with M. Gasol out and our performance versus Chicago I have to believe we can pull this one off.

You have no clue what she looks like. Consider yourself somewhat fortunate.

This is going to be a ridiculously tough game. They barely lost to Miami last night and are highly motivated.

I have to disagree with that technical on Koufos. I don't know what the refs were thinking.

I find it funny that copeland was one of the second unit that wasn't doing bad yet he was the first one out.

Man, its really hot and cold with this team recently. Either really good or really bad, and tonight is the latter. Getting ugly.

30 points at half is horrible...

Well, that game sucked. Their bigs completely outplayed ours and their hot shooting in the 2nd quarter got them the win.

I have a lot of respect for Marc Gasol. He got injured last night but he played 39 minutes tonight and he was great. We have to tip our hats to that.

I... am not sure I want to watch this game. In fact, I won't.

Edit: I did, couldn't resist but now wish I had as it made me really negative. Our offense is not good enough to beat Miami, not going to happen this year. I know Memphis is a great defensive team and they match up well against us, but we have too many off-games offensively to even contemplate taking Miami out over 7 games, home advantage or not.

I agree with you the offense is just horrible. And it's just to late to fix the offense now.

Have you guys not seen how Miami is doing?

I'm not as worried about Miami as I am about San Antonio, who's able to have the best record in the West even when resting their big three.

I can assure you that we're not going to be playing in the playoffs like we are right now. This team struggled at tht end of last season as well but the playoffs were entirely different.

I really don't want to be negative, and I know Miami is on a poor run as well (clearly the season is too long to sustain a high level throughout).

But the offense has been a struggle all season. The only games where we managed to perform offensively was when George was on fire and the odd game where West, Hibbert or Stephenson managed to take the load - that is my biggest worry. George has really dropped off since the ASG, there are stupid stories emerging about him and in general I think he needs to sort out his head as soon as possible. Miami doesn't have that same issue, as their offense is LBJ who has been leading the offense of his team for a lot longer.

We really need George to get it right and although I agree he is going to turn it up for the play-offs, he will now not have to go one gear up but two or three.

they did struggle at the end of last year but it was in like the last 2-3weeks not the last 2-3 months like this year
