AD is gonna be a big problem tonight, but I expect Tony to do a good job on Gordon.

Need a bounce back game from Bron & Bosh

Just win.

Inb4 AD's 54/31/14 game.

Seriously, though--in his last seven games, AD is averaging 33 and 14 on 58% shooting. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't get at least 33 and 14 tonight.

traditionally, the poster who created the last winning game thread creates the next one. expecting a loss based solely on superstition...

Thanks for the vote of confidence but WM3 said:

Also I'm just letting everyone know that I won't have my laptop until next Friday so someone else can make the game thread...besides I only made the GT as sort of a tribute to Mike Miller

I still BELIEVE. NOLA is one of the worst defensive teams in the league. I doubt we will be able to stop AD but I am positive we can outscore them.

Anthony Davis will get his he's just too good but just limit everyone else and please don't let a scrub go off.

No Oden or Wade, LeBron is playing.

Looks like I got my starting lineup right on the first try but i was really hoping LeBron would rest. We can all see he needs it. Oh well, I am mentally prepared for another "passive" game from him. I think it's a mistake not resting him. We got two big games coming up against the Blazers and Pacers. Resting him here would have been smart thing to do.

Yeah I don't get what they are doing with Lebron maybe he doesn't want to sit? Would really like to see him get a few games off.

Yeah, I am gonna refuse to give Spo the pass of "maybe he doesn't want to sit". You are the coach getting paid millions of dollars. Do your job. If he doesn't listen then show him his stats since the Bobcats game (minus the Cavs game), show him his first half and second half splits, show him game tape where he has looked lethargic, and played with no energy. If he still doesn't listen then he should motivate him by letting him know that the MVP is lost and the only thing that matters is the title. If he still doesn't listen then sit his ass regardless. As a coach it's his job to save the players from themselves.

None of this is directed at you obviously, I am just frustrated with how much LeBron is being played. Everyone and their grandmother can see that the guy is tired and fatigued yet he is playing against a lottery bound team in a back-to-back with two big games coming up including one against the Pacers. I am afraid that LeBron is gonna be out of gas by the time playoffs come and he will have another Dallas like series and people will say he "choked".

Yeah I get the frustration and I agree with all you're points Wade is important but if we get a limited LeBron in the playoffs it's over.

Yeah, and Wade has looked fantastic minus the last two games. He gets the rest because of his knees but it's obvious that the rest is also preserving his energy and no wonder he has looked like our freshest and best player over the past few games. LeBron started the season coasting but then in January he made the MVP push and started playing a lot of minutes along with Wade missing a few extra games. After playing fewer minutes in the months of November and December, he's been playing 39 per game ever since.
