I didn’t see that Deng was a little hurt until just now. Give him the day off!

We are deep enough now to give the poor guy a break. Maybe Butler can get into this game and get a real taste.

And, Taj has shown enough post moves and jumpers lately to show that he can add 15 pts to the roster.

We will be ready to get revenge on this team, no matter who is playing.

I just wanted to clarify that I’m not in agreement with the guy who questioned Boozer’s effort, I just think he happens to be in a slump at the moment and I like the idea of him grinding it out on the court, even if it is in garbage time.

Phil has nothing to lose at this point…this is his last season, and he’s just shitting on the MIA heat with his comments lol…i’m sure he’s not expecting MIA to make the finals, which would probably explain his candidness about the Heat in the media.

we shall see though…

@ inky not sure about the heat win i saw the game and man there were alot of missed or no calls, that should of went agist the heat this game is like the one the college refs messed up. What is this if the players question the refs calls after game interviews
they will be fined shoot the refs aint perfect and if they mess up who holds them accountable should not the players be able to speak there mind if they feel the refs were wrong. Something else stinks about tonights game vegas had the spread a 2 and the heat winning what, that is kinda like strange considering the heat lost last five game and the lakers won the last eight right.Anyways just saying don’t want to lose the confidence i have in the integrety of the game but one ref was already caught cheating, i kinda get the feeling he was not the only one doing that just saying one has been caught has to be more tell me what you think people… Get well soon Boozer we need you..Peace

Really sloppy second half by both Miami and the Lakers. The Heat played like they always did (aside from Bosh) and the Lakers just gave the win away.

Hey,

I just did a podcast with Justin Rao (who collaborated with Matt Goldman on the “He Got Game Theory? Optimal Decision Making in the NBA” paper that was presented at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics conference). We discussed his paper and other general questions related to statistical research and where it’s going. Since I follow all you TrueHoop bloggers religiously, thought you may be interested in hearing it

lucky its only a sprained ankle. that fall did not look good.

but whats up with the booz scoring only 10 , 12 points the last few games ? when the big guy comes back they need to do what thibs says and feed him the ball. in the meantime though….

its Taj time baby !

I am not knocking Boozy at all. I’m was just feeling that, now that he is injured (which I would never wish on him), I may expect a harder nosed defensive effort through his position for a few games.

I like the guy. He has melded well with the team. He rebounds with consistency. And, I think we have enough above average defenders on the team.

Honestly, I love hearing Boozer’s screams throughout the game. He expletived so loudly, it came through the telecast last night on a play where he thought he was fouled. Rose is quiet, Deng is quiet, Bogans is quiet. Our big men make some noise… works for me.

Finally, I don’t see how you question his toughness of that play. He got whacked hard and awkward and that landing did not look pretty.
