    I hope he doesn't. I agree with Tone. Philosophically, sure, I want him to play. Reality, no way. Wins are all the matter to me. "NBA Champion" doesn't have an asterisk next to it. ;)

    I'm with HCP. I want him to play too. I want us to win badly... but he's the best player of our generation, without a shadow of a doubt.

    Also. I think the biggest key to this game for us winning is Lopez. Rebounding and second chance points are going to keep us in it and could get us this win... its our biggest advantage.

    If we beat the Heat without James, it will be just another asterisk.

    A win is a win, but it will be a win with an asterisk.

    I don't believe in "asterixeseses" (sp?)

    Every team has wins and losses with "extenuating circumstances", like so and so was hurt, or didn't play, or was ejected, or was sick. Every single team would need asterixeseses next to their season records.

    So how about we just leave them off.

    Bet he at least gives it a go. Hammy pulls are scary man. One little move and it's done!

    Bet he comes out all limping and dramatic in warmups for all the Nike VIPs!

    Me to but you can't really consider them the best unless all of the heat players play. I hope DWade and Bosh play to.

    I'd speculate after the New Year when we have all those home games against the east in early January. They probably won't announce anything because his first game he plays will only be once there is a blow out.

    Once we see him active in a jersey for a game his debut should be coming soon.

    Interesting, considering we played them last season in Miami.

    Last I heard from the team (Courtside this week) was 2-4 weeks. Sounds like they want to give him a bit of run with the second unit in practice and there's a stretch of home dates/days off leading up to the Texas road trip that should get him comfortable out there.

    I think the Blazers are due to blow somebody out for a change and why not make it Miami? Hope to see the 3rd string play most of the 4th...Go Blazers!!
