Just watched Heat-Pacers. Bam will be a handful! (Also, they are not totally healthy, Dragic is out as far as I know, and he is big part of their bench). Should be a fun, tough game - real playoff team after the bottom dwellers and injured teams.

This will be a good test. We've had a few games where we played teams with no talent and made it harder than we should have.

we're gonna need to really step it up. Last season they spanked us when they were at full strength and in our win Butler and Dragic didn't play. Can't afford to **** around.

They're 25th in offensive rating, teams that trouble us generally need to score 120+

I'm expecting Butler and Adebayo to be super aggressive in attacking our paint - drawing fouls, offensive rebounding, pressuring the rim. We've had plenty of practice against that so hopefully our team defense can hold up and adjust.

They're shooting 24% from 3 in their past 3 games (26 of 105) and rank 29th for the season.

Should be a tough matchup but hopefully we pull it out. I'd love to get closer to that #1 seed.

This will be a tough one as they are on a roll.

Rating is unreliable given all their best players who were out for a while.

Hopefully they deal for Lowery and the suns get them shorthanded :)

Report that Lowry's preference is Miami.

Nice little curve ball to team chemistry as everyone not named Butler/Adebayo has to be considering if they play well it could incentive Toronto to get them to move country. Maybe that's already on their minds having lost 3 in a row.

Great test for us. I feel like tough and disciplined teams have always been an issue for us so this game will tell how far we've come in improving our own discipline and focus. I totally expect Herro or Robinson to light us up.

Herro is 7 of 39 from three in the past 3 weeks doing his best to stay out of the Lowry trade.

This is the basically our first game against a good team since the Pacers game that we lost.

Miami has lost 3 straight and has gotten blown out in 2 of those I think.

They won't trade Herro, he's still on that valuable rookie deal. Duncan Robinson on the other hand....he might wanna start packing. He's RFA I think anyway.
