Since the Bucks are not as good as the last 3 teams we basically blew out.... I expect this to be a close game. Just because that's just how things go around here

Who the heck is Leuer? Sheesh, that starting line up is one of the worst in the league. Lottery bound.

Sad sad truth. It seems like LeBron and Wade play down to the other teams just to keep it interesting. Why not blow them out and sit half the 3rd and the whole 4th.

Chucker, brick wall, interesting rookie. That's what I see with this Bucks team. Last year's team found a way to always stick around. I don't know about this one. Bogut will be a force to contend with inside, but only on defense. We have been methodical in our halfcourt approach. Look at our last few games. We're not running, we're destroying teams in the halfcourt. Bucks are roadkill. Let's go Heat. PEACE.

Trap game....NFL playoffs, coming off a great stretch versus a below average opponent. Hopefully we come out strong and rest the starters late. I would also like to give Battier some rest today. His done a hell of a job these past few games. GOD is he good at D!

Yeah... trap game.

Oh well.

Bucks defense is underrated, it was last year. It was top 5, even above us. Their offense just sucked.

Bogut and Jennings and wide open 3's are what I'm worried about.

But Heat have to keep up the wins, Philly, Indiana, Orlando, etc are all having good years so far. Gotta keep up.

I really only have 1 request for this team.

Take the lakers game as a model and use the same rotations throughout the remainder of the year. That rotation used a variety of talent. if curry/JJ can only get 2-3 minutes a game, then give them their 2-3 minutes.

It makes no sense to me to shuffle the rotation based on the opponent, make the(all) opponents adjust to us.

I expect a blowout so I'll be focusing on the 49ers vs Giants game. Got a feeling it will be a good one.

Bucks are sitting at 18th in DRTG this year compared to 4th last year. Unfortunately for them their offense is almost as bad as last year.

Bucks always play well against us for whatever reason. The fact that the Heat finished a game just 20 hours before this one starts scares me too.

Let's not suck.

We might lose this...

But I actually like our chances.

Well, the Bucks finished an OT game in NY around the same time, and had to fly down here. Our guys got to enjoy garbage time.

I honestly don't think trap games apply to this team. I think our bench is deep enough that there isn't a situation we should face that we can't overcome. I worry about road b2b's with odd start times more than some bottom-feeder coming into our house and stealing a win from a Heat team that looks like a juggernaut right now. PEACE.

EDIT: Oh yeah, expect more of this.

Is Wade returning tonight?

Deer in the headlights. Lebron is hungry.

I figure we would've heard something by now if he was playing.

Any news on Wade's status?

Game time decision.

No they didn't. The Nuggets and Knicks played an OT game last night, not the Bucks. Bucks last game was on Friday in NY.

let Wade rest. Lebron has been balling but when hasnt he. Bosh is the one realling shining in Wades absence. Lets hope to see more Curry and Cole and wash that down with some Miller.
