December 17th, JAZZ @ HEAT 7:30pm 

Post#1 » by IggieCC » Wed Dec 17, 2014 3:57 pm

Oh **** we have a game tonight???

Don't worry 6 game winning streak has been activated baby!!!!!!!


MIAMI HEAT (12-13, 4-7 home)
Image
VS

UTAH JAZZ (6-19, 2-10 away)
Image

[Injury report]
HEAT
Justin Hamilton C - Dec 16: Day-To-Day
Danny Granger SF - Dec 16: Day-To-Day
Dwyane Wade SG - Dec 16: Day-To-Day
Josh McRoberts PF - Dec 15: Out
Chris Bosh C - Dec 15: Day-To-Day
Image

JAZZ
No significant injuries

[Preview]
Considering how bad we have been at home this season, I don't even know if this game can be classified as a trap game, but it is. Just look at our **** record at home LOL

Utah is definitely one of the worst teams in the league if not the worst and sporting 1-13 record for the past 14 games. So relax guys, things could have been worse.

This is a crucial game for our 6 game winning streak. If we lose tonight, there will be no 6 game winning streak. Just think about that for a second.

LET"S GO HEAT!!!!

[LUCKY CHARM]

An important game for us! Let's play HEAT basketball and win it!

Tough game against a good team in a tail spin that beat the Pelicans for three quarters. Relish these victories over Utah now because later on this team will be better. I hope Wade gets a chance to recruit Kanter...

I know Wade said that he may not play but I REALLY want him to play tonight. First home game of the home-stand, playing exceptional, team riddled with injuries, we need his leadership. I wish this illness just pass already. I wonder how he feels today.

Let's see how Whiteside does against Gobert...

I mean Whiteside must be really bad on our defense for Spo to not play him or have his teammates say something for him. Hmm...

We needed Wade and Bosh to beat Utah last time

I dont think either of those players play

I mean Wade might or might not play, depending on how he is feeling. He can beat up the Jazz guards

My worry is Kanter. Dude is a beast and kills our front court players. We atleast have Birdman back, but he was having back spasms last night. JHam barely saw 2nd half last night and Spo opted to have UD at Center "protecting the paint". Maybe we see Whiteside today, maybe not. And if UD went down, we'd see Williams at Center. Thats how bad Spo has been handling this ****.

Just need more players to step up man... and our defense to not falter.

Play Whiteside, at least he has a chance at stopping Kanter and Gobert from wrecking us inside.

Can't wait to see Haslem and Williams try to stop Kanter and Favors.

Also, more Cole. Loving that upside.

Favors did not play yesterday.... I haven't read he is avalaible for this one.

Was Hamilton injuried yesterday?
Wade is not playing back to back games?

Good luck for the game.

Without all those players it would be a difficult game for Heat, but well Jazz is so inconsistent that maybe you'll beat them anyway. We have some good players, but out play from PG destroy all the chemistry.

Yeah Wade is probably out, he wasn't even supposed to play last game but did... he got a illness.

No Justin played last game, shoudn't be a factor as much now since his fam isnt there to watch :P Unless they flew over to MIA ofcourse lol

Wade plays on back-to-backs but he was battling a stomach virus last night, so it depends on how he feels before the game today.

Are we still giving Gordon Hayward keys to the city? The Cavs have been playing pretty well lately so it's not as funny anymore :(

For those who wondering if Whiteside will have positive impact on this game, please refer to OP's spoiler for the probable answer to that question.

Obviously I would like for Wade to play, especially if he can make a positive impact on the floor, but I would understand if he didn't. Its a long season, and he did look completely beat after last night's game. Plus I think last night's game was actually much more important for him to play in. After getting all this bad news about injuries, we needed that immediate win to lift our spirits and he needed to be out there first of all in order for us to win but also to show leadership to the young players.

Now, if he sits out, maybe our young guys have enough confidence to get it done without him. Utah is not very good. I do still hope he plays though (and maybe finally drops 30+?) but this would be understandable an understandable DNP. Hopefully we see Whiteside too.
