I hope LeBron does not play. Wade and Bosh should be able to handle this. Hopefully Michael is back too but him acting like a crazy fan every time we make a big play is entertaining too


I would love some steak and mashed potatoes covered in succulent gravy right now.

I don't see any reason why LeBron wouldn't play. he's very rarely sat out with minor injuries, especially this early in the season. besides that he looked quite fine yesterday, i'm sure the ankle is going to be fine with treatment even if he does play in games.

[HeatNation88]

Let's continue our streak!! LOL

Stop underestimating the opponents. This Sacramento team is really good and really athletic, we need this win though.

Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize an overweight chucker and a bunch of scrubs around Demarcus Cousins is good enough to beat us when we have 2 other superstars outside of LeBron. I'm sorry for not believing that the under 500 kings are going to blow us out. The only way we lose (with or without) LeBron is because we are being lazy.

[xMADEinDADEx]

Hmm idk how I feel bout this game..

[Gwynplaine]

Don't Suck. Just win please.

[AlexCRO]

i think this is going to be a very entertaining game with no D what so ever. i can see Miami taking a day off on D. high scoring number coming your way. oh yeah and a lot of highlights too.

[WD]

I wouldn't be disappointed if we gave lbj tonight off , I would like to see this coach/staff plan an offensive strategy to win without riding lbj

IDC if he wants to play , I'd sit him tonight

[RexBoyWonder]

We need Beasley back before LBJ starts taking games off. Unless you want to see Allen trying to create off the dribble all game long.

Kings look decent lately, they have talent but lack leadership. This can become a blowout or a tough game, depends on how much energy we bring to the first half.

Spo should take the popovich route by resting his players. He does it to Dwade, I believe ya'll have watched the Spurs vs Warriors minus the Big 3. imo It's not about overconfident or something, but knowing LeBron and his passion about Basketball, He won't sit out this one.

[WD]

IMO - WE SHOULDN'T NEED BEASELEY BACK before considering giving LBJ off on a game like tonight. We have players on this team that have more offensive skills than we allow them to show, we need a game or two WITHOUT LBJ to see what adjustments need to be made in case he HAS to miss a game or two.

Are we forgetting how much energy he expended so far this week, what harm will it be to rest him tonight? As soon as his production goes down due to overworking him, them people on these boards will bash the heck out of him. I heard the other day a team mention that the'r strategy is to wear LBJ down during the regular season.

Any, it's my opinion

What? You calling them scrubs? That's almost the same team that took us a couple of overtimes to beat. Thomas, not a scrub; Thornton, not a scrub; Gay, not a scrub; DC, definitely not a scrub; Ben, not a scrub; DW, not a scrub and just found the right fit in his career. Underestimating opponents in this league is just dumb because everybody in the league can ball. Yeah, I like the confidence for the win but calling them a bunch of scrubs is pretty dumb to say.

I said a bunch of scrubs around Cousins. Thomas is the only other respectable player on that team. Rudy Gay is worthless chucker. Thorton is playing like a bench player. This isn't about being confident about winning it's about thinking logically. Unless we are lazy this team should not beat us. If we lose whatever but we don't need to worry about lebron playing or not being the end all factor on the end outcome of this game, especially when bigger games down the line could be lost due to injuries building up.

I wouldn't underestimate the Kings right now.

[Dupas]

Inb4 thorton sets us apart from 3 point land and cousins goes for 40 rebounds

[Heat fan06]

A loss shouldn't surprise anybody here..Cousins could own tonight.

[Vertical Limit]

I'm going to be switching the channels back and forth.. I think Houston beats the Pacers tonight. So hopefully we win.

[Ratchet_Rio]

Reading some of these posts I'd think some of you were scared of the Kings..grow a set
