They really overextended during this streak with a 12+ game lead on the second best team in the east.

#71 win away from clinching home court in the east.
I don't think they will try for overall homecourt even though they have a 2 game lead on the spurs. So I can see players resting.Comment -

#12You can view overall home court as a disadvantage with the stupid 2-3-2, so I doubt they careComment -

#13Heat didn't have homecourt in the finals last year. That really shouldn't come into play. Rest and health should supersede overall best record. Plus last night's game showed playoff intensity, and no need in the big three taking that kind of physical abuse in another regular season game.Comment -

#14Wade looked knicked up towards the end of that Bulls game. I could see the guys who nutted up for "The Streak" start to feel those aches and pains, where before they played through it.Comment -

#17Wade went down hard and seemed to hurt his left arm in the Det. game and then missed 2 games they haven't talked about it but he missed those 2 games right after that ( reason given was knee issue but I'm not so sure or maybe both)Comment -

#22you dont take time off heading into the playoffs. maybe a game here or there. and never all of them at the same time. gotta stay sharp. too many good teams at the top. Why mess with greatness? sure, a breather could be nice late, but you wont see them lose 50% just because they can, that cant be good for the psyche.Comment -

#23I wonder if Heat will return the favour to Pop and rest starters on their game Sunday
Although it won't be anything like what Spurs did...Pretty sure Heat will get blown out by 15+Comment -

#24The way I'm reading it, Spurs game may be last game this season where all Miami regulars play. I guess Heat are pissed about almost losing to the Spurs backups.Comment -

#25So consensus here is - if Lebron plays tonight, it will be limited minutes?Comment -

#26The question is still will Lebron play tonight? Line is clearly too low if he plays and a bit high if he doesn't (all of this assumes wade plays as is probable).Comment -

#28You're tellin me. I'm currently debating on going large on Lebron player prop for under 40.5 points/rebounds/assists. But I'm really trying to find out what his status is. Thing is, I fear Spo will give more rest to other starters and give Lebron normal minutes. I dunno, it'd be nice to get to the bottom of this.Comment -

#29I wonder what's his reason to play them though. There's no chance they lose the #1 seed in East. Perhaps coach wants the team to play 1 more solid team before resting, but even then, I think with no real incentive to win, Spurs should run over Miami.Comment -

#32Tonight's game is a one that they are supposed to win. They will have to play, but more than likely Spo will challenge them to put this game away early so they can rest by the 4th quarter. They have been getting off to bad starts during this streak, this a chance to fix this problem. Heat do not want to lose this game, then potentially lose on Sunday at San Antonio which is possible. That is 3 game losing skid, not good for a team that has some things it still needs to work out before the playoffs. Getting homecourt over San Antonio is also at stake. Only 3 losses at home all season...homecourt would be a huge advantage for them.Comment -
