Cavaliers (8-13) @ Heat (16-6)

Keys to game:

- Give Kyrie a healthy dosage of Norris Cole's D
- Mitigate their bigs somehow. Bynum has shown glimpses of dominance recently. Sideshow Andy and Tristan Thompson are forces on the glass.
- Shoot better than 19% from long distance

Most importantly...

LETS NOT SUCK

If Bennett plays this might be a loss.

He killed Kyrie that game, killed Tony games earlier, and was just hot. Almost had a triple double against Cleveland but that was the best play of that night other than Dion posterizing Birdman. I know what he meant, I was just being childish. :lol:

I'll take -10 on the boards right now.

We've gotten off to good starts the last three games, so I hope to see it continue in this game.

Facing an on-form Andrew Bynum, Tristan Thompson and Anderson Varejao. Hopefully it won't be a nightmare on the boards.

I'd say we need to start limiting turnovers, but I am pretty sure the only turnover Anthony Bennet and Andrew Bynum are worried about are apple.

I heard UD has been putting serious work into his 3-pt stroke to try and win his spot back in the rotation. They scared now.

He needs to spend that time working on his 15footer. if he could be 50% like he was 5 years ago, ud would be playing 15-20min a night.
