I have a bad feeling about this game even though the Sixers should come out and win this one. I just have a feeling that Wade and Marion will find a way to pull this out in a real close game hence...

My Prediction: Heat by 3+

The Heat have lost 25 of the last 26 games. They will be hungry for a win despite their quest for as many losses as possible.

We should win the game just for the sake of kicking the Heat their butts. At the end though, the game will be likely decided in the last minutes. I am by nature pretty pessimistic so I am also predicting a loss.

I hope we bounce back. I wonder if they will still have nightmares of Howard every time they drive, or if this game can help them remember they need to score in the paint.

I think the heat win this one. They are due for a win.

Even though we should win, I agree with TGP, we will probably lose this one.

His finger was all swoll. Salmi made a good point though and said "would that really hurt his shooting." Of course it would hurt his rebounding if he can't hold on to the ball.
Don't worry, that builds character and you can never have too much character...

NY Post has this a pick game.

I'll take the Black Shirts (as long as the Sixers are wearing black).

The Heat are the worst team I've seen assembled. Wade's Injured, Marion doesn't fit a need. They have no PG play and everything else you can expect from a team that lost 25 of it's last 26.
Chalking this one up as a 20+ blowout.

It really hurts my eyes to watch Carney out there. If we play half court offense he is pretty much useless.

The Heat are defending Miller pretty well. He had a tough time to create his own shot.

Sometimes Mo's strategy has me for a loss of words....your up by 5 at the end of the first using all of your starters...Willie Green is playing relatively well...sub him out for Carney at the end of the quarter...Heat make a run and Carney plays out of control, but u don't bring Willie back in until the 6 minute mark...

Anyone else tired of watching a game where only 2 players out of 30 can create their own shot(Wade and L Will, Thad to an extent can at least actually get open)
