Miami HEAT

vs.

Utah Jazz

Critical Bill: "I am Godzilla! You are Japan!"

Back home to face a Jazz team that beat us in a close, physical game last year. I think Bosh is still smarting from getting Thrillsap'd a couple seasons ago, so I look to him to establish his presence early. With our improved defensive effort, the Jazz must play to our beat. Le bon ton roulet! PEACE.

Utah is a tough team, I dont expect a blowout but I do expect a W

Definetely a tough game for the Heat sizwise...I hope Milsap, Jefferson and Favors don t kill us inside

We will win this. Maybe not a walk in the park but defiantly a W.

I expect a win, im curious to see if Sop adjust anything from the Wolves game. We won that game but being outrebounded like that is a bad plan for the future.

Hope Cole can find his shot again, that can be huge plus for us if he can become an offensive threat.

Next game is OKC so i believe we'll come out ready to ball tonight.

These dudes have come out with a different midnset since the NY game.

I expect nothing but a hard fought WIN.

Need everyone to stay healthy.

This game will be a test for our front-court.. We need to come out really aggressive.. Unleash Wade and get them in foul trouble..

Go HEAT!!!

:rockon:

Yea, the best way to counteract the disadvantage against bigs is getting them in foul trouble, wouldn't mind seeing vintage "D-Whistle" and "LeRef" tonight.

Or...we could play more of OUR bigs.

Crazy, i know.

Indy just blow out the Jazz by 20 their last game, so let's not overstate Utah. with a smart gameplan, this should be a definitive win.

Chosen01 · Post #11 » by **Chosen01** » Sat Dec 22, 2012 6:48 pm

Not overstating them, just STATING facts. Utah is the 4th best offensive rebounding team in the nba right after Minny, so they have to be on their toes on the board or be aggressive and get them in foul trouble.

It's doesn't matter who the Heat face, they can beat any team in the league it's just about their effort and mindset, that's been known since day 1.

Really looking for Bosh to have an effective game tonight on both ends.

Chris Bosh, Josh Harrellson missed shootaround with colds, both listed as game-time decisons. It is going around the locker room big time.

Joseph Goodman: DWYANE WADE: "We kind of got behind the eight ball because we were doing what worked for us in The Finals and late in the playoffs but I think this is right what we need now—bigger lineup, as conventional as we can go.”

Heat announce they'll start Battier in place of Bosh. That's three 6-8 guys against the UTA big front-line. Should be fun.
