Wade OUT

[onlooker]

Dislocated left index finger. Will not return tonight.

That makes all the Big 3 OUT.

Miami HEAT <s>@</s>MiamiHEAT<s>#</s>HEATgame: <s>@</s>DwyaneWade has a dislocated left index finger. He will not return to the game.

easy $$ ??

I wonder who would win on a neutral court, The Heat w/o the Big 3 or the Bobcats......

[darkhat]

Unreal.

Why was Lebron out?

[onlooker]

Why was Lebron out?

Rest.

[d2bets]

Rest.

Seriously!!??

They're essentially 1/2 game behind Chicago for the #1 seed, already without Bosh tonight, and they sit him?? They don't seem to realize that the only reason they are not the Wizards is basically Lebron. They deserve to lose this game and have it cost them the 1 seed.

Miami is done this year

Well Wade was playing until he got hurt. Then reported that Lebron went to locker room to get taped up, but never played. Once Wade went out, they should of played Lebron.

I wouldn't say that yet, but how stupid will Spoelstra look if tonight's game costs them the 1 seed and they go on to lose a Game 7 in Chicago?

I think he is talking about for regular season, I hope so.

But I agree, the Heat should of had the mindset to win this game.

Who cares about the #1 seed? That doesn't break a team like Miami. They walked through Chicago in 5 last year, without homecourt.

They didn't walk. Squeaked out some close games. More importantly, last year is last year. HC doesn't matter unless it does. And if it does, they could well chalk it up to tonight's decision.

No, their health matters more than homecourt. Game was meaningless. A team playing above expectations with a shot to win the #1 seed? Yeah, go for it. A team with LeBron, Wade, and Bosh?

Then why not start "resting" weeks ago. Why hasn't Lebron "rested" before tonight? Doesn't matter anyway.

What health anyway? "Resting" is not health. Lebron playing this game is going to make a difference in the playoffs? Nonsense.

The answer is that they arrogantly thought/gambled they could beat the Wiz at home without Lebron. #oops

Could of cost them home court in the finals as well even if not with CHi

Some seem to think it is meaningless.

If I have to explain why you don't rest players for a month, then you should stop posting.
