Good win for the Heat. That's two double digit victories to start off my predicted 5 game win streak. Jermaine was superb once again with 22 points and 12 boards. I think after a few more games like this it will be safe to say that he's officially back. Beasley struggled a bit offensively, yet he grabbed 9 boards. It's good that he's finding ways to be productive without scoring 20. Cook was awful today. 1-9 from the field plus a couple of turnovers and blocked attempts. You could see his frustration out there. Haslem was solid again off the bench. 10 and 10 game tonight in under 30 minutes. Aparently he's taking the bench role very well. He's always had a good attitude about things. Q-Rich hasn't played that well defensively and he's almost completely invisible on offense. His starting position needs to be replaced.

Alright, 6 mins left in the 4th. The Heat are hustling but struggling to find shots on offense. It's Wade time.

There we go, Heat are back on a role. This time, Beas and Jermaine are more involved with JO having 15 points and Beasley having 12 points total with 7 minutes left in the 3rd. Things are looking good again

Bah.. Pacers caught up within 2 at the half. Hibbert got a few points in a row, the Heat's intensity started to decrease a bit, and then the Pacer's offense started clicking as the jump shooters started making shots. Offensively, Cook has been forcing bad shots. 1-7 FG. Not a good start for him. The Heat need more production offensively from Jermaine and Beasley. Jermaine is only 1-3 (7 points), and Beas is only 2-5 (6 points). And Q-Rich does NOT look very good defensively today, and none of the other Heat SFs have gotten any significant playing time in the past two games. The only players to play well individually on the offensive end are Chalmers and Wade. Wade is getting his midrange shots to fall, posting up, and finshing well at the rim. 16 points for him. Chalmers is distributing well with 4 assists.

I always knew he could dunk a little bit... but DAMN! BTW, the Heat are doing VERY well defensively. I'm loving their play out there.

They've got a shot.

Not sure. As much as I expect from him, it's too early to be able to tell what his value is. I'd say, first check to see what the Heat can grab in free agency, then resign O'Neal if there are no better options or if there is still enough cap room.

Danilo's height and shooting ability can create mismatches. I can see him develop into a Hedo Turkoglu type of player, if not even better.

The Heat have got this one, but I'm not sure by how big of a margin. The Heat just came out of a double-digit victory and the Pacers just came out of a double-digit loss. The Heat will be looking to keep up their play while the Pacers will be looking to improve their play. I'm not sure what to predict from the Heat players on this game. I can imagine Wade having an improved shooting performance, Cook should continue his hot play from last game, and we'll see if Beasley will prove some consistency with that intensity he showed against the Knicks. JO is going to be facing bigger defenders against the Pacers versus what he had against the Knicks last game, so he's going to need to look to attack the rim since that turn-around fadeaway probably won't be as effective. Again, I wish the Heat would start Dorell Wright. He'd give Danny Granger a bit of trouble defensively. Granger is going to eat Q-Rich's babies.

Bucks and Kings. They don't apparently have the weapons needed to succeed. I could be wrong, and things can change, but it looks to me like they'll at least be high lottery picks for next offseason.

No Shane Battier in the defenders column?

Nope. Last time I've dressed up was.... I think 5th grade or so when I was around 9 or 10 years old, haha.

Oh ok, that makes sense

There are a couple that I don't really understand.. The Bobcats' and T'Wolves'. Not sure what the logos on a white ball is supposed to represent, or the glasses on the wolf.

Aww... nothing for the Heat? Funny stuff, though

I'd like to see how Greg Oden handles this. Whether he'll just soak and lose confidence or if he'll spend all night in the gym practicing his Free Throws and visualizing the corrected mistake.

Wow, OK, then. I think making yourself known in motion pictures is a pretty nice accomplishment, even if he hasn't made it to big name movies, yet. Don't you think? I mean, what do you think would make him have a better life than you, make thousands of posts on message boards? Don't discredit the guy, man, his career is really just starting.

Bart Got A Room, and American Pie Presents: The Book of Love. That's all I know of.

He acts in movies, dude.

The Cavs BETTER win this one, lol.

I couldn't agree more

Yea, this time there can't be any internet leaks. The fact that the NBA is accused of threatening the publishing company actually makes Donaughy's case stronger.

He missed his first 6 or so threes, then caught fire when the outcome was pretty much decided in the second half.

More like the next Vanilla Ice.
