So what's going on with Wade? Apparently he's questionable with a sprained ankle, anybody know how severe it is? Miami's not winning the title if this is a repeat of last year in regards to Wade's health.

It was the first I was hearing about it...ankle sprains aren't normally THAT serious, but with Wade I'll hold my breath.

Please win!

Apparently he suffered it in the Boston game (so those who saw something happen and thought it was the knee were apparently right), he then went on to play against Memphis (albeit not particularly well) before it became more serious as it seems.
Perhaps he shouldn't have pushed it against Memphis which made it worse, but at the same time I don't think it's that serious. It just sucks that he's out yet again and it's not even knee related this time.

He shouldn't play until after the upcoming road trip (March 31st). Let him get his lower body right and let him play the string of home games in the beginning of April. After that, shut him down till the Playoffs.

I am happy that there is no LMA this game but Portland is going to rain 3s on us and I know I am going to get angry watch quite a few of them to be wide-open shots. Please, please , please for the love of God cover the 3 point line today. Portland is a team with multiple shooters who can knock down the 3 and if they are wide-open we are going to be in for a long night.

Also, not happy hearing about this Wade "ankle injury". I don't think it's his ankle. I think it's something to do with his knee. Hoping that I am completely wrong here but we will see going forward.

not in a world, where spobot is coaching the heat

There is only one key to the game in all honesty: defend the 3. Portland is one of those teams which spam the 3 point line. Our stupid defense will give them wide-open looks from there and that will be our downfall. If we were a team with a smart coach we would only focus on covering the 3 as there is no LMA but with Spo you know that isn't going to happen.

That's literally the best choice for this team, too bad spobot won't budge, Battier and Haslem ride til the end with spobot lol.

Haslem, the guy who has played 11.8 minutes in 35 games this year and started 8 times? Beasley, in comparison, has started in 48 games and averaged 15.9 minutes.

I think he was referring to the way Spo rode him last season in regards to Haslem

Some of you gotta stop being stat nerds an watch the damn games. Haslem had one good quarter now all the sudden he is back in the rotation, not only that but STARTING when oden sits. Hilarious!

Why don't you bring up haslems -150 plus minus lol, or his what 1 point per game.

Spo plays favorites, always has, always will. Haslem is a favorite, so is battier, any other team, they wouldn't even be dressed!

What does me bringing up that he's barely played enough to justify him being a favorite of Spo with me potentially being a stat nerd? If Spo was such a huge fan of him, he would've played him all year long.

Would like to see Beasley get more minutes his offense is a nice improvement.

Case in point: Beasley had what 18 points last game in like 15minutes, got benched, who got to play though? Dead beat Haslem, while our team couldn't put the ball in the ocean, Haslem plays, Beasley sits there after going 8-12 and grabbing some boards.

FAVORITES.

The way Battier has played ALL SEASON lol if his name wasn't Battier, would of got benched quick. But no, he's a favorite, a Joel "intangible" guy, so he can do no wrong!
