With 6th straight loses against the Raptors, Miami is gonna need Wade at full strength. Last times these two teams met, Toronto took the game 107-96. According to NBA.com The Heat looking to improve their 4-1 record in Miami. They have held opponents to just 87.0 points at home compared to 99.5 on the road. Those stats don't look very promising, but with Chris Bosh playing the way he is, I predict a win. The one thing that's on everybody's mind is Will Solomon. The wacky PG from overseas that just isn't ready for the NBA. He shows nice potential, but his constant turnovers just kill the Raptors. Ukic is also not NBA ready, and while showing some nice skills, still cannot lead this team. The smartest thing to do, in my opinion, is start Parker at the 1 and have Moon play the 2. Bargnani - O'Neal - Bosh lead the front. I'm tired of watching our two PG's turn the ball over. <span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%"><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Impact"><u>STARTING LINEUPS</u></span></div></span> <div align="center"> <span style="color:#BA9753">Mario Chalmers - Dwayne Wade - Shawn Marion - Michael Beasley -Udonis Haslem</span> <span style="color:#c8362d">Jose Calderon (I Hope!) - Anthony Parker - Jamario Moon - Chris Bosh - Jermaine O'Neal</span></div> <span style="font-family:Impact"><span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%"><div align="center"><u>KEY MATCHUP</u></div></span></span> <div align="center"> <span style="color:#BA9753">Dwayne Wade</span> vs. <span style="color:#c8362d">Anthony Parker</span></div> With Wade almost at full strength, Parker will need to be on top of his game. That means running wade in to double teams and making him drive and kick. On offense, Parker should have no problem getting open, he just needs to hit his shots.
It's his job. And I really hope the Raps can take this one. I have full confidence in them, but our PG play is so up in the air, it's crazy.
Anybody know if Calderon is playing tonight? I hope not, he's on my opponents fantasy team this week lol
Looks like he's playing. Thanks for filling in Shake. I'll be back posting after tomorrow when my schedule clears up.
Yay! And no problem Chutney. I basically just copy and pasted what you have done. Made it A LOT easier for me, ahah.
Jesus christ Will...turnover. Nice steal by Jamario. But horrible shot and amazing rebound and put back by JO.
OT - I want a Snuggie. It's super large and one size fits all. It looks like a KKK jacket without the hood...it's fucking hilarious. All these people wearing this clock device at sporting events, watching TV, at the mall...awesome. And if I were to call right now, I get 2 snuggies and 2 book lights...for....29.95!
Offense foul?!?! Raptors having some trouble with the small ball playing Heat, but they are still leading. Bosh and Jose with 3 each, not good. Smart move by JO. Trying to take the foul on him, but didn't work. Gotta love it. Kapono with a nice shot.
2:15 left in the first and Raptors with a comfortable lead. LMAO! : "Hi, I'm obviously Burt Reynolds"
guys, my gf is eight months pregges and i can't pry the remote out of her hands (don't laugh), which means i'm stuck watching the gilmore girls. "oh rory, you little fox"
ZOMG! What a block! Bargnani...what a fucking game. 25 points and counting. Bosh and JO with a double-double.
