Good job dc. On the matchup, from the Heat's side. Shaq hasn't played in the past two or three games. Neither has Dorell Wright and D-Wade missed the MAvs matchup on Friday night so his availiability is in question. Hopefully he'll sit this one out and let the Grizz win one on Sunday.

[SD2042]

J-Will is expected to play today after missing the last five games. Despite being involved in light practices this morning. D-Wade and Shaq are game time decisions to either play today or not.

Wade is dressed but isn't starting.

[SD2042]

So is J-Will, but Shaq will sit this one out. The Grizz frontcourt have to exploit that interior with authority.

With Wade, despite his tenacity and dedication. I really can't say that he'll be able to be a big factor for the Heat. At least I hope not.

Wade is a great player, but damn. That ticky-tacky crap has gotta go.

Miller with 3 fouls.

[stro4swift]

Nice block by Stro before getting poked in the eye.

Rudy's back in.

[SD2042]

Grizz offense has gone cold right now and their defense is a bit sloppy right now.

[stro4swift]

Jacobsen is so useless it's not even funny.

I'd rather see Richardson!

[SD2042]

Mark Blount is making himself useful for the Heat. The Grizz have slacked off defnesively and are down 46-41.

Looks like Conley takes it to his former teammate D.Cook for two points.

Halftime

Heat-46
Grizz-43

[stro4swift]

7-0 run to start the quarter, very nice.

[stro4swift]

Miller is feelin it!

[SD2042]

Grizzlies are doing pretty solid on both ends right now. Only 1 TO in the second half. Grizz lead is 8 66-58.
