MIAMI HEAT



INACTIVE:
Dwyane Wade ("sore ankle")
Shane Battier (back and neck)
Ronny Turiaf (hamstring)

Yes, you saw it right, despite his ankle sprain last night LeBron James will play and so will James Jones whereas Wade will once again ride the bench. It's pissing me off to see how LeBron has to push himself through everything while Wade is getting all the rest in the world, but it is what it is I guess.

NEW JERSEY NETS

I don't even care who plays for them, all I know is Deron Williams is out.

EDIT: Gerald Wallace is out as well.

Spo "they see me trolling they hating"

Time for Bosh to increase his $tat$

[heatwillbeback]

Lebron needs a day off here. He is the one who barely gets any rest in games due to us sucking when he is on the bench.

[WD]

Just a few more games to go

[ssenbonzakura]

Lebron should be inactive. No Wallace, no Williams?. I'd even rest Bosh.

[iainmac92]

Lebron wants to play every game and thinks if he doesn't it will look bad on his MVP candidacy if he has played significantly less games than durant.

That's just my theory though.

Tonight's starting 5:

PG- Mario Chalmers
SG- Terrel Harris
SF- LeBron James
PF/C: Udonis Haslem
PF/C: Chris Bosh

With Terrel starting, I might actually watch this game.

Rules must have been relaxed: don't usually hear music in Heat locker room. All headphones. Been blaring off speakers lately.

[heatwillbeback]

I like Terell starting. Keeps Miller comfortable in his bench role.

its a decent theory. I dont think it should make a difference, but it probably would.

The thing is, I think he needs the rest more than these other guys. Wade has been off so much already.

[Heat3]

what is up with these "maintenance days"? just last week spo was mouthing off about how in a few years the media will want players to take a month off. now we have guys taking every other game off lol

[RexBoyWonder]

i want Harris, Miller and Dexter all to play big minutes. we need to get guys ready.

NJ doesnt suck as bad lately, they have some nice players even without DW. should be a good game.

Who know's whether that's true or not, considering Lebron has publicly stated injuries/fatigue but at the end of the day Spoelstra is the COACH, he makes the decision on whether or not a guy will play. But obviously he isn't too concerned. It's strange.

[RhapidKid]

smh @ Spo. Should have started Curry at the point.

[playboyj305]

No Deron Williams should be an easy win, therefore, Curry should get minutes tonight.

[Miamis3rdRing]

Spo is an idiot, we all know that.

But doesn't LeBron have a mouth? You're LeBron freaking James. You can say and do whatever the hell you want. Make up some injury and sit out if you need rest.

No D-Will...I'm gonna laugh my head off if this ends up being a close game and LBJ plays like 40 minutes. ...
