O.T. - Miami preseason games

Hello everyone.

I am a Jazz fan, come in peace and, as happened last year, I am rooting for Lebron and Miami to win it all. :nod:

Next October Miami is coming to Brazil to play a preseason game against The Cleveland Cavaliers. The game will be played in a city far away from where I live. I will have to book a flight and hotel and try to buy the tickets, meaning it will be expensive.

I was wondering if you guys could tell me how does it fell to watch a Miami`s preseason game. I know it is not like watching a playoff game, but do they play with intensity? Is it like watching an All Star Game-like, where they are just having fun?

Watching The Heat would surpass those things by a mile, but I just wanted to know in advance what kind of game I am going to get.

Thank you very much.

Best Regards.

Go Heat!!

They could try to put on a quick show for the crowd...but they usually shut it down early and let the training camp invites get majority of the minutes. Be prepared for a disappointment so in the event it's actually a good game, you'll enjoy it much more.

they definitely won't play like an all star game. they try to play defense in preseason so it is more like a normal game. but a normal preseason game that they would play in Miami would have more of the backups playing. the stars may play the first half then rest, but since it is in brazil they might play a little more. should probably look up box scores from when the Heat played in China for an idea of how much the starters will play.

it is more like a normal game but you understand that they are trying to get back into form so it will be a little sloppy at times. since it is the heat expect some dunks and alley oops cause that is just what they do. should be fun :)
