Slightly Above .500 Basketball
The Heat have just come back from a back to back, and won both games, improving their record to 8-6 and are the 4th seed in the East, for now.
The Heat have been having great games by Chris Bosh lately, who looked to have hit a wall after a 2-16 shooting night not too long ago, but have been carrying the team on efficient shooting, hitting a potential game winner, and rebounding decently.
He isn't alone though, with the help of Mario Chalmers, who has been on a tear since Wade has been out. Even getting double digit assists, as well as points. Heck, he is even playing like Wade, draws double teams, and is running an offense. Who is this?!
Deng has been on and off, but exploded for 26 points, 8 rebs against Charlotte on 10-14 shooting! Good stuff.
Shabazz Napier seems to be getting better every game offensively. He is hitting a good amount of 3's, has some nice dishes, and steals. Needs to work on his turn overs though, but he'll figure it out. The last 5 games, he has been averaging double digits, 12ppg, shooting 50% from 3 with 12 3's in the last 5 games, and is shooting 40% from 3 overall for the season.
Your Miami Heat now face one of the Best of the West in the Golden State Warriors. If the Heat do not compete, this will be a blow out, worse than against the Clippers. Rio will match up with Curry, will be fun to see how this plays out and how the Heat in general compete. Go Heat!

GAME NOTES
Miami
- Cole has a dislocated middle finger on his left hand. Questionable to play. I hope he stays out, so we can see Rio vs. Curry and more Shabazz.
- Birdman sprained his ankle. We are once again weak in the front court. He has been bad defensively however, despite still blocking shots. He has been slow footed these days.
- Wade out. Will be back next Sunday most likely.
- Rio and Bosh EN FUEGO and carrying this team.
- We suck
Golden State
- Bout to kick our ass
- 3's all day
- Will drop 160 points on us
- Klay and Steph will make it rain
- They are 10-2
- Lee out, Bogut questionable. - WE MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE!!
And keep in mind, last year we were being more cautious than this year. So they're most likely lying and this whole thing is going down the drain with Wade.
