The Miami Heat (3-2) visit the Charlotte Bobcats (1-4) in this pre-season match-up! The Cats are winless in their last 4 pre-season games, as they are looking to snap their losing streak. Can Tyrus Thomas continue his great playing as he matches up with Chris Bosh? Will the Cats be able to show the Heat team that they are for real this season?
Game Time - 7:30PM ET from the PNC Arena in Raleigh, NC
If anyone is going post something here and I'll try to come by and say hello...assuming you're in the upper section. I figure the lower will be all Miami Heat red since it sold out so quickly.
Walker, Gordon, Jeff Taylor, Tyrus, haywood are the starters. MKG to play some PF tonight !
Sessions looking good right now with 11 off the bench
Kemba started very good as well though!
Dunlap will have a tough decision about the PG starter position.
I'm a pretty big Kemba fan and this game did nothing but reinforce that. He still has a lot of work to do (mainly in finding his mates) but he shows authority with the ball, he's fearless and his quick as hell. What I like most tho is his very tenacious D; he gets right up on the guy right after he crosses the half court line and does very well at keeping him in front.
Kemba starts but Sessions sees a lot of minutes. They'll also see plenty of PT together. Hendo really needs to get it together else he'll be splitting time with MKG at SF because Gordon & Sessions will be beating him out at SG.
I was SOOOOOOOOO wanting Biz to try and take the ball all the way to the hole for a tomahawk dunk when he stole it at half court. Sadly he got confused with what to do and miffed it up.
There were a lot of Heat fans but there were Bobcats' fans too. Maybe not quite half but close. Lucky for me there were more Bobcats' fans in my section...cuz I guess the Heat fans bought up all the expensive seats. We had a blast.
I still hate Ray Allen.
For a coach that supposedly loves the P&R we absolutely never run it. Twice we had bigs breaking but 1) Hendo & 2) Sessions looked them off and went the other way. Sure Haywood (1) & Biz (2) would have probably screwed it up but you HAVE to give them the chance else they'll stop trying.
MKG had about 2-3 minutes of what I hope to see a lot more of. I think he's just thinking too much.
Both Kemba & Sessions had good games with 24 points each despite only 7 assist combined, but to their credit, the offensive talent around them tonight was scarce. It look like Gordon has officially won the starting SG spot. Henderson did not help his own case. That's what I took from this game.
but i thought he was a top 20 player in the leagueQuote:
