If our jumpers are on we got this in the bag. Probably will a low scoring game though,

Haven't we won both games this season? It means we match up well with Miami. I think we win this game but veterans know how to play an important game at home. Jackson usually destroys Dragic. Drummond is way too big for whiteside. It's all about Wade now. Has bosh come back?

This is what, our 2nd or 3rd game on national TV this year? I feel like this game is a loss and then we'll bounce back with a win against Orlando the next game. Miami still has a lot to play for in getting home court in round one... I think we beat Miami at the Palace next week though.

Oh Johnson and Deng. That's a different game. Yeah this is a different Miami team but it's gonna be a lot of fun to watch. Stoudemire can't stop Drummond. Idk why they would even try. That'd be horrible for them.

This will be a tough one and I'm feeling a loss anytime we have consecutive days off as we forget how to score the ball.

Joe Johnson is a Pistons killer for sure! I will be very surprised if we win this one

Wade is a game time decision.

We match up well with Miami, but they've been playing solid basketball lately (11-6 since March 1st). Should be a great game, as both teams will want to win this one to better their playoff position.

Two highly motivated teams, but the Pistons are on the road. It's going to be a tough game.

Can't give up hope though, as this team is so unpredictable. They usually are competitive, sometimes great, and at other times a disaster. They seem to care about their season. I guess that's all you can ask. If it never gets any better, it's still a lot better than anything we've seen in a while. Team has been on an uptick since Harris has been integrated into the lineup.

This is actually are toughest game remaining this year when you factor in what Miami still has to play for. They are 25-13 at home but just 19-19 on the road so home court advantage for them in the playoffs is HUGE IMO.

I'm f****n scared of JJ, like I said vs the Mavs, all the players who got JJ in their names are Jordan James against us.

I'm pretty sure this is a loss but with a win tomorrow but thats what I said about the Dallas game so who the hell knows? Young teams are hard to judge game to game.

We used to be able to look at the schedule and pretty much be oracles at predicting W/L. With the way we've been playing lately and the absolute need to make the playoffs, I can't call it.
