W00t. Another easy win for Miami if we play it right. Hopefully we don't get lazy and lose a lot of the lead like we did against Charlotte...

We didn't get lazy!

SVG benched our starters way too soon!

 

[DemonaL]

lets see if we can break last seasons winin streak..

 

[Dwyane Wade]

Somtimes ppl say he benched em to early, some time ppl say he benched them to late...

Ha... exactly what I was thinking. People were saying the opposite a short time ago...

I hate these kind of games, cuz i dont want the heat to let their guard down. this is not a walk through the park. i hope the team take this game seriously and dont think that just cuz its the hornets, they dont have to do too much.

My predections:

Heat- 150
Hornets- 65
lol

 

[DBurks2818]

The Heat look to get revenge for an embarassing pre-season loss here. Look for them to take the Hornets seriously.

gio30584, you say this will not be a walk in the park but that score looks like a walk in the park to me. :laugh:

 

[supermati]

I hate how you still understimate us, we are not the same team as last year.
It will definately not be a walk in the park, just wait to see Paul :clown:

 

[DBurks2818]

They'd better hope J.R. Smith plays tomorrow.

Chris Paul is very good. Dwyane Wade is great. :biggrin:

supermati, I believe the Hornets would go to the playoffs and win a championship and people would still underestimate them. They just get no respect. People would probably think it was a "fluke". I mean they're usually a playoff team but heaven forbid you don't make the playoffs for that one year and no one wants to hear about you.

 

[Wade2Bosh]

Anyone know how Rasual Butler is doing? We could use his outside shot on this team.

 

[Dwyane Wade]

Chris Paul is a fantastic player, I've talk to him on AIM before.. :biggrin: ...Can you add me to your Chris Paul fan club, he is a fantastic player! Belive it or not my friend knows him...

 

[PartisanRanger]

Chris Paul is a fantastic player, I've talk to him on AIM before..

Seriously? How did that come about?

 

[Jace]

0-5 from 3. No, we couldn't use his bricks right now. I feel bad for any Hornets fan who may have touted Rasual as a good pickup. JWill is a better 3 point shooter right now.

 

[Wade2Bosh]

0-5 is too small a sample size to call him a disappointment already, especially this early in the season. He started horrible for Miami last year only to become a pretty reliable player for us coming off the bench.

 

[Dwyane Wade]

I think we replaced him quite nicely w/ Kapono..Rasuals prob got beter D though..
