Miami Heat
@
PreviewAfter opening a season-high six-game road trip with Wednesday's 102-89 loss to Orlando, the Heat bounced back with a 106-89 win over Washington on Friday, their ninth victory in 11 games. Wade finished with 26 points on 11-of-18 shooting against the Wizards, while Bosh had 24 points and 11 rebounds and James added 18 points and nine assists.
Wade is averaging 27.2 points in his last five games -- 5.0 better than his season average -- and the Heat are 11-1 when Bosh reaches his average of 19.4 points.
James, who averages team highs of 28.1 points and 7.0 assists, and Wade hooked up on a pair of alley-oop dunks 97 seconds apart late in the first half Friday.
"We want to be efficient, and that's the most important thing," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We have a team that feeds off electric plays, and that's fine. I'm not going to put the reins on that, so we'll continue to get better at that."
Miami's up-tempo offense will likely be tested by Atlanta, which has allowed 87 points in each of its last two games.
Joe Johnson, selected to his sixth All-Star game on Thursday, had 21 points in the win and 20 in the loss.

Ugh...time to play the Hawks again. I hope Rio can contain Teague better than last game. I feel Teague missed shots more than he was defended well. If he gets dribble penetration on us, it could be a long night. Then again, who knows what Hawks team shows up tonight. I hope it's the bonehead Hawks. Let's go Heat! Time to start a long win streak. PEACE.

LeBron to drop 20+ this game. He hasn't done it in what seems like an eternity.

My crazy theory..
If Chicago beats Boston, we win this game. If the Bulls lose to Boston, we lose this game.
This team is allergic to being tied for 1st place in the loss column. Feels like we're never tied for long.
Should be a good game. Hawks even without Horford are a solid team.

To be totally honest - i cant even predict wins and loses for this team anymore.
They can win or lose Vs pretty muchevery team in the NBA, depends if they come to play or deside to play lazy and stupied. I dont really like this inconsistency but i guess that's the character of this team and it won't change.
so tonight - i'll gamble they'll come to play and get the W.

I'm not sure if numbers back it up, but I think Wade has been pretty bad the last couple of years on nationally televised games. So if LeBron isn't out of his offensive slump yet, hopefully our defense is at least clicking tonight and we can try to win ugly.
Expect Bosh to get a lot of touches tonight with ATL missing depth in the front court (and also after Ivan the terrible embarrassed him last time)
