This is going to be a very tough game for the Heat.

The Heat has lost 6 of its past 7 at Detroit. The Pistons are an NBA-best 29-2 at home this season. Miami is playing its 4th game in 5 nights and Shaquille O`Neal is listed as questionable for tonights game due to his thumb injury.

Lets see if our guys got a bit too complacent playing these soft teams or are actually pumped up to play the Pistons. We need everybody to step up their game and we cant have another disapperaing act from James Posey.

This is another Nationally televised game. From my knowledge, overall we havent performed well on National TV.

It seems the odds are against us.

If Shaq does not play, im not feeling too optimistic.

Me neither, but we know that this team is capable of anything when they're properly focused.

STUCKEY!

This should be a good game if Shaq plays ,I hope he plays if he doesnt it just will be boring...
And Yeah we want revenge for that 15 or 17 point comeback.

It's March, but for once I'm planning on devoting all my basketball being in on an NBA game. This is a preview of the ECF in most of our books, and I think both will bring it. Wade is coming off a 35 point showing against Minny...now let's hope he can back it up.

BTW: battle of the two best guard combo's in the L.

Pressure's on Detroit this time.

Miami's on its 4th game in 5 nights, the big two are a bit banged up, and the Heat have already been playing well (albeit not against great competition, but Detroit hasn't played as well against similar competition).

If the Heat lose, it's fatigue, and there's still one more meeting left this season. If they win, big win!

Also, what we need to do is stop Sheed at any cost. He's the Dirk of the east, he's tall and can hurt you down on the block, but then can step out and drain the three like he was taking a lay-up.

As far as Big Ben goes(assuming Shaq laces them up), we should have no fear of his offensive play. But we all know Ben can change the game on D, heck, this season in a game had had 0(maybe 1) points, but 17 boards.

Prince is hit-or-miss IMO on the offensive end. He'll work Posey, Wade, etc. too the bone, and won't give us anything.

Billups/Rip....no need to explain. If you play soft on them, they'll go hard on you.

Their bench is not as deep as ours in my book. Think back to the last game against them...Sheed nor Ben nor McDysse could even hang with Shaq, it wasn't even close.

This game will be won down on the blocks. The Pistions will definitly pound it down to Ben if Shaq isn't playing....but atleast we have Zo. If Shaq plays and he's anywhere close to 100%, he should be set to score, if not we can count on Zo and U down low. This should be a good one....

The Heat are definately in a better position here.

If they lose, well Detroit is supposed to win at home and they are at the end of a road trip on the 2nd game in 2 days.

If they win, it's huge.

If Shaq don't play I don't like my odds. I hope the other guys came pumped up for a big game. That was some pathetic display of complacency last night, by most players till the end. Only guy was Wade and Walker down the end. Lets go for the troats.

Arg. U's messed up twice now, but still a pretty good start for the Heat.

Wow, Zo is such a bad guy. I mean, he takes his own time out to spend time with others who have kidney sickness...jeez, now I know why everyone calls him egotistical and a horrible person.

end sarcasm.

Wade: 0 points
Heat lead: 11 points

I think we're making a statement...
