The key here I believe would be to spread the floor and run, letting LeBron James burn the Heat with his decision making. The Heat played lasted night and got pummeled by the Houston Rockets, so the legs may be a little tired. The Cavs must contain Eddie Jones much like they did with Allan Houston in their clobbering of the Knicks, if you do that, the Heat can be in for a very long night. Maintain this stretch of solid defense and keep driving to the basket relentlessly, steady play will equal a win. Miami - What does Stan have to do for a win? Having rookie stud Dwyane Wade and 2 year rising star Caron Butler back is a start. The Cavs are still prone to turnovers, so I would use a trapping defense, because the Heat do have the perimeter athletes to cause havoc in Cleveland's passing lanes. Can Wade or Butler give Jones some scoring help in this game? That is the question. The King's Take I don't think so Heat, Wade is still struggling with his shot and Butler looked very shaky last night in Houston in the 26 minutes that he played. The cavs right now are playing outstanding basketball as they are one of the NBA's best assist and rebounding teams. The Heat may not have a consistent enough game developed to get a win here. Cavs win their 3rd in a row. Cavs win! ------------------------- PS: Help us get these team forums active people!
