Should be a good game. I feel like the Heat is one of our rival teams. We need the win to get back towards .500 and avoid losing ground in our division.

I feel like Miami and Chicago are the only other two teams in the NBA these days.

We seem to play one of those two teams every other day.

Keys to success: Trade Batum

Pretty big game this early in my opinion. You guys seen how sad our division is? Win this one thats already 2 wins over Miami. Can possibly win the division with a .500 record. Would that be homecourt in the playoffs or did they redo all of that? I can't recall.

Nope, I think you're guaranteed a playoff spot with a division title, but you don't get a top 4 seed like you used to. It's a shame because I think we actually have a chance at it if we even kind of play up to our potential. Washington is already a flaming dumpster fire in the locker room and they're about to add the dynamite whenever Dwight gets healthy. I would not be shocked to see that team entirely collapse. The Heat just lost to the Kings by double figures tonight, and in general are an overrated team that can never stay healthy, yet Spoelstra's system will drag them close to .500. Orlando and ATL are non factors. I really think 42-45 wins gets the division title this year. We need to capitalize on the 16 games we play against this **** division.

Getting awfully tired of seeing that starting lineup. I'm ready for Bridges to be there at PF. How much longer will JB stick with this group? Hopefully not all year.

Marv has shot over 40% in two of the last three seasons and has been one of our better defenders every year hes been in Charlotte. I think its fair to give him some time to get his shot on track. His defensive box +/- is +1.9 and hes averaging 8 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per/36. If he was shooting 35%-40% from 3 like he normally does (instead of 22%) everyone would be really happy with him. Hes theoretically our 2nd best 3 point shooter.

I think Bridges getting his starting spot is inevitable and I'm also eager to see it happen, but I don't mind JB sticking with Marv for now. Something is going to have to give eventually, though.

Not feeling great about this one. Going to need more than just Kemba to beat them. Hopefully, they are just worried about who is getting traded for Butler and we hit them hard and fast.

We are well rested and they played last night so maybe that'll help.

I know it's early fellas...but this would be a big W. Let's get it!!!

Really enjoying these first minutes

lead should be way bigger :/

This is one streaky game so far.

The good play of batum, makes the crap even more frustrating. He has the ability to be good

RIght...quite annoying how much better we'd be if he played at this level consistently.

pls retire wade

monk's defense tonight is sooooooooooooo bad (its wade tho) but as long as he gets his shot going again i think everyone is okay with it lol

I don't get why Wade gets so much love from the crowd. Yeah, last season and all that, but he is one of the less likeable guys I can think of (And he seems to have the best game of his life everytime I see him playing against us ¬¬)

Great basket by Monk, tho.
