it's payback time. we let one slip away in portland. hopefully we smack this team in the mouth early and play hard for 48mins...

Still ticks me off thinking how we didn't close the last two minutes in the Rose Garden. This is our last home game until near the end of the month. Finish the homestand strong.

revenge game. Portland is a different team on the road, they suck. no reason to lose this game.

It bears mentioning that LeBron had his worst game of the season against Portland and we had to blow a lead to lose that one. This should be a W.

Other than that last portland game, Lebron usually dominates Portland.

Interested if he will keep this streak alive.

No way we lose this game in AAA. Especially when both LeBron and Dwyane are on-form.

The Miami Heat will be honoring a pair of legends as well as a large portion of their worldwide fan base when they host the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday, February 12 at the AmericanAirlines Arena.

As part of a league-wide tribute between February 7th through the 14th, the Heat will honor their Chinese fans with a celebration that will take place throughout the evening.

But that's not all because the Heat still have their own celebration with the "25 Years of HEAT", an ongoing special retrospective that welcomes back notable fan favorites. This time, fans are in for a treat with the elite tandem of Alonzo Mourning and Tim Hardaway, which were the backbone of coach Pat Riley's elite teams so many years ago, and who now have transitioned to having roles in the franchise.

Even more reason to perform strongly.

So I assume we'll be honoring Wang Zhizhi too, right?

It might cause too much of a commotion. The crowd would get restless if he got less than 45 minutes of showcase at the half. The second half of the game gets delayed. Portland files a protest. You don't need all that heading into the break.

Longest winning streak in the NBA :X
make it 6 in a row

Am I the only one who thinks this will be a tough game? I know we let one get away at the Rose Garden, but they did some things well defensively against us. The Bosh-LMA match-up will be a key one. Bosh had his best game of the season against Portland, but Aldridge had a pretty monster game himself with 20 points and 15 rebounds.

It will be a tough game, that's for sure. I don't think anyone thinks this will be a gimme. They're just happy that the team has been playing consistently well the past week.
