Mine: vs Houston - win vs Orlando - win vs Detroit - lose vs Atlanta - win vs Atlanta - win vs Charlotte - win vs Orlando - win I don't know, I think we'll split with Detroit in the season with wins and losses, but lose early, and win later.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting og15:</div><div class="quote_post">I don't know, I think we'll split with Detroit in the season with wins and losses, but lose early, and win later.</div>You said it brotha, they can probably win early because they haven't changed their starting roster from last season (and why should they) so they have chemistry and experience going for them. But when the playoffs come around, we should be well preped to go against them.
Don't even bother beating the Rockets. Yao/T-Mac > Shaq/Wade. But in all seriousness, I believe the Rockets will win. :thumbsup:
lol I totally forget about the Rockets, yea that's going to be a fun/hard matchup this season, definately a must watch for me.
I wouldn't be surprised If Shaq doesn't play at all in pre-season, infact most teams's best players never play much in pre-season.
Yea, stars don't play pre-season, Shaq will play 15 MPG till the last game where he'; play 30 minutes, Wade will play like 20 MPG then play like 30+ also last game, and ame for EJ, the other guys will get the PT. We'll get to see Dorell against real comp.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting og15:</div><div class="quote_post">We'll get to see Dorell against real comp.</div> That's what i'm waiting for, Summer League is a joke.
Yea me too actually, because Summer League means nothing because their's no set plays, the refs are also "rookie" refs, and refs trying to get in the NBA, the offense is always wack, and guards sometimes shoot too much. Tim Duncan did bad in summer league, so did Chris Bosh in his rookie year etc, and they did great, and many that have done good do nothing in the NBA, so summer league for me is to find out how atheletic a guy is, their defensive intensity, their aggresiveness, and things like ball handling.
Anyone know if these pre season game are televised nationnally? or it is only local? ( I dont want to have to register to read that article.) Anyway They should win all they're games exccept the Pistons. I could really care a less though. Im looking forward to opening game against the Nets. Trip: So you thnik Yao/T-Mac ownz Shaq/Wade? Your probably right but the Heat are surrounded by better players. Shaq and Wade will also most likely work better together.
there is no channels listed, I guess when the date gets closer they'll release the tv listings. The oct. 22 game against atlanta hawks will be on tnt.
I think Wade/Shaq > Tmac/Yao... Shaq's more dominant than Yao and ahs more experience... Wade will pass more to Shaq than tmac will to yao. Wade is gonan be better than tmac very soon (2 years) Plus Heat have better players surrounding.
Bro, we might lose all the preseason games. And that's what they are, preseason games. The starters will not get much minutes for the heat. ESP with the drastic changes Ron Jeremy has. Person, Dooling, ... Doleac. Heh, shaq would probably just be a cheerleader in the preseason. And wade playinig minute? minutes.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Mr.Wade:</div><div class="quote_post">I think Wade/Shaq > Tmac/Yao... Shaq's more dominant than Yao and ahs more experience...

Don't fail to realize, TMac is better than Wade. I'm a realist, I like wade 100x more than Tmac, btw.
the heat have great scorers, they don't need to rely on two people to produce points, just pass the ball around until someone is open. btw did anyone notice that this will be a battle between the Van Gundy brothers .. both have great teams this year, it should be fun to watch these two teams play.
