If our role players understand the importance of stepping up when needed, the Miami Heat will be fine. Everything else isn't really important.

I expect him to play at the highest level as well but aren't you worried about him wearing out especially now that he has to increase his workload even more than what he usually does?

Kinda. I think Spo has an idea of when Bosh might be back, so if he goes with heavy minutes for Bron and Wade tonight, I'm gonna assume it's because Bosh will be back next series. I won't mind it if the bench isn't contributing again, and we need production.

I'd much prefer Bron and Wade play as few minutes as possible, though. I've been a big proponent of saving their legs for the last round or two. Hopefully our shooters can have a good game and we can see garbage time tonight. That would be the best way to give our boys some rest. PEACE.

For a little bit I thought the Heat were going to win the title, but now that Bosh is out, I think they'll struggle to get past Boston and lose in the Finals if they get that far.

Yeah. Boston is sooooooo terrifying, with their hobbled vets, poor offensive showing and inability to keep even Philly's terrible offense from getting good looks at the rim. :roll: I'm not sure where this Celtics stuff comes from. PEACE.

Yup. Mike Miller, Shane and UD gotta up their numbers and productivity so we can save Bron and Dwade's legs.

This season could end two ways imo. 1.We either lose to Indiana or Boston and Lebron takes most of the heat for it even without Bosh. 2. Lebron and Wade go into beast mode and carry us to the finals but Lebron gets worn out and has a subpar series because he had to guard point guards and power forwards and play point guard and Spo rode him like a horse and as a result we lose to the better team in OKC/Spurs. In the second scenario people will say Lebron dissapeared in the finals again conveniently overlooking fatigue and a lack of Bosh. In an ideal scenario Lebron and Wade carry us all the way to the title and boost their legacies to new heights which is my hope.

I'm more worried about how the season ends for the Heat.
