Miami @ Washington 7:00pm 

Post#1 » by Bourne85 » Mon Apr 14, 2014 6:54 pm

Didn't see a game thread, and well I'm bored at work. On my phone so don't expect any cute pics.

Heat:
Chalmers
Wade (maybe)
Lebron (doubt it)
Bosh
Haslem

Washington:
Wall
Beal
No clue
No idea
Doesn't matter

Lucky charm? Not necessary.

Hoping Lebron sits, hoping Beasley finally gets some real minutes. Hoping Lewis missed the flight. Hoping cole overslept and missed the bus. I hope someone put a virus in Spo's spreadsheet that causes him to actually have to think.

Get the W.

Just no one get hurt and let's start these damn playoffs already.

Rest Lebron and give Wade another 20-24 minutes.

Thanks for the gift of resting LJ and Bosh, surprised Spo didn't do this sooner.

I expect Wade to play and LeBron to sit.
Any updates on this?

Don't get your hopes up, you still have to deal with GOAT Lewis. How will your coach adjust to that hmmm

I would hope that Spo rests LBJ and Bosh but nothing surprises me.

LBJ has come out and said he could use a few days off and I think he deserves it.

I know you all bitch about Spo, and rightfully so, but count your blessings you don't have Randy running the show. His only redeeming quality is getting guys to try on the defensive end. And that is his ONLY redeeming quality :nonono:

As to the game itself, we tend to get up for big games and coast when we're playing nobodies. Wouldn't be surprised at all if you all beat us since our team has a way to go with maturity in the guard play. I doubt Wade alone is enough to hype them enough for this game :/

Anywho, good luck and good health.

Just have Wall lull him to sleep. As demonstrated here:

That 4-5 matchup is awesome for us. With any luck the bulls actually win that series in 7.

Then we will proceed to eliminate the bulls in the usual 5.

Then off to Indi if they make it that far, which I fully expect them too.

Longest regular season ever, 75% of the 82 games felt irrelevant and pointless.

Just stay healthy, let's see if Spo has something under his sleeve for the playoffs.

Well if it stays the same way we can only play the bulls OR Indy OR the nets.

I'd like that

Damn I was under the impression that LBJ and Bosh were definitely out tonight....but the latest tweet from Ira sounded to me like Spo couldn't give two ****s about what LeBron said about resting. If Spo doesn't rest these guys, there's gonna be a hole through something.

Spo and his ridiculous metaphors. Might as well hang onto the rope while we are at it

Another solo big 3 game, I enjoy seeing Bosh-led or Wade-led team from time to time reminiscent of how they were before they formed.

What tiebreaker are we losing to Indy if we both end with the same regular season record, having split the 4 games we've played against each other? Conference record?

Yep. Indiana owns the better conference record but health is all that matters.

Hope it stays this way too. 8-)
