Betting lines have Miami winning by 4.5 points.

I'm betting $20 on Miami. We're out matched for this one even if Dwayne Wade isn't playing.

It's at their home. We've been so good on the road that I think eventually it's gonna fall of. No way we keep up this pace on the road record. Also Kawhi is out, which means we'll be seeing a whole lot of Manu, Marco, and Diaw at LeBron. Not having Splitter also means we can't hurt them on the boards. Even with Splitter, we're one of the worst offensive rebounding teams in the league. Miami's biggest weakness is an area we cannot exploit.

Even if we had Splitter all they'd have to do to negate him is put LeBron or Battier at the four like they did in the finals. I'm guessing Diaw's going to play a lot of minutes today because he's the only guy we really have right now capable of defending LeBron.

I honestly haven't thought about Miami at all this year. We need to get through the juggernaut West first.
I hope Manu doesn't try to get all crazy in this game. It really doesn't matter what happens other than I would like to see us play better.

Got our asses beat. Can't say I didn't see it coming. Manu played horrible from what I saw which I expected also. Better just to forget this game.

As a bright spot, I did like the activity I saw from Jeffers.

So this is what we look like without Splitter, Green and Kawhi. Yikes. This is going to be a long few weeks.
