Heat are undefeated in the preseason, and I don't like it one bit.

[ChosenSavior]

Play hard, play smart and please come out of this game without any major injuries before the season begins. I finally get to watch a game in full after I've completely missed the last two.

I'll be at the game tonight. Of course I want a win here. Ut I mainly want the team to look better on the floor with a more stabilized lineup. They have looked like complete trash these last two games so that's all I ask a better looking product on the floor. Go magic!!! Let's pack the house so these damn heat fans dont take over.

[EAS Law]

I’m thinking our big losses have more to do with trying new stuff when it doesn’t matter than us being significantly worse off than last season against teams we were able to beat.

[basketballRob]

I think the last two games looked like a tired team.

Fournier sucks anyways. They should give more mins to Jefferies and whoever can make a 3

[basketballRob]

I think the Heat might want some revenge after we knocked them out of the playoffs last season.

I'll be surprised if Vuc can't get a 20 20 game on Bam. Normally Vuc dominates smaller players.

Hoping Gordon has found his shot again. I'm expecting a weaker performance from Fournier since he's banged up. Maybe just set shots and less attacking the paint.

Isaac is my pick for a big game. And a lift from the bench.

[SOUL]

We'll see how we look with a full squad. Looked good when everybody was healthy + not tired, so I'm hopeful we'll see the team from the first 3 games rather than the last 2.

Going to be really interested to see if Clifford goes with 10 guys in the first quarter like he did in the first couple of preseason games or if he tightens it up to 9.

With Fournier expected to be limited, we might get some MCW action early.

[Bensational]

MCW deep in that huddle, even though who knows how big his role will be. That guy comes to play hard every night. I love it.

[Message Boar]

I expect us to look better than the last two games, but that's not exactly a high bar...

[Knightro]

Isaac and Gordon seamlessly switch on Jimmy freaking Butler and force a turnover. That's our 3 and 4 doing that to a SG folks.

[SOUL]

Evan doesn't look right driving.

[Bensational]

Vuc is so integral to the offense. Without his passing and knowledge of spots to hit, everything falls apart. Even the similar plays our wings are running on penetration are running much more smoothly simply because he's a viable outlet more often as a bailout.

[Message Boar]

Isaac's offense looks kinda... terrible.
