    I just thought the Heat would come out all fired up cause everyone is talking smack about them. Best win I have seen in 2 years. With a healthy Oden this team could be scary good on defense. Cross your fingers.

    Camby and Rudy have to play way better though to make noise in the playoffs. playoffs? PLAYOFFS?

    I thought we'd probably lose, but with Wallace I felt we'd match up very well. LA & Camby on Bosh, Batum & Wallace on LaBron and Matthews & Roy on Wade. Granted LaBron & Wade had good games, neither stole it away from us at the end.

    Wallace is exactly the physical wing that LeBron hates. I didn't think we'd win, honestly, but I figured we had a better chance now than we did last time.

    If only we would have put Orlando away in the 3rd quarter last night. Instead, we let them creep back in the game and had to expend a bunch of energy to hold on for the win. It really cost us tonight. Oh wait, we won tonight?

    Found this on a Celtics board and the last post is by someone called LakersFan_33 with (Rajon Rondo) as his sub-title. This is just after the win tonight:

    Just sharing...I know it's not good to get caught up looking ahead(/patting ourselves on the back), but it's nice in moderation.

    I thought we would lose by at least 20! Great win!

    Is there much conversation/cheering/complaining going on in the truck, or are you too busy working? A couple of the Wade fouls were ridiculous and not reciprocated on the other end. I imagine you get good looks at whatever you guys want to see.

    It depends. I see at least 6 or 7 angles of each play. We could show every questionable call if we wanted. A lot of times if the Mikes start to bitch, we let them know it was a good call.

    I didn't think they'd get blown out, but I was pretty sure tonight was going to end up in the loss column.

    Hopefully whatever comfort level Wallace has achieved carries over and they are finally, truly, in a 'real' groove. Good times.

    I didn't expect us to get blown out but I expected us to lose. I figured the heat would be all heated up over the crying comments and would want to come out and silence there critics. I also expected a lot of cheap fouls to constantly put the heat at the line.

    What I was looking for was more the characterization of what the truck is like during the game? Does it sound like a group of people watching the game at home, or is it pretty much serious business?

    What about the opposite? Wade made a circus shot layup, but the problem was that he took a step, jumped, spun, landed then took two more steps to the basket to make it. I watched the Heat broadcast, and they said nary a word.
