Miami Heat Games Prediction Thread

Alright, here it is boys and girls - a thread a special made by yours truly so you can predict the outcomes of Heat games on here and leave the game thread for  pre-game, in-game and post-game discussions and not spread the bad cancerous karma.

As mentioned in the previous thread - in this first back-to-back-to-back stretch for the Heat we face our division rival Atlanta Hawks, a defensive minded Milwuakee Bucks team who has owned us to this point and an up and coming, solid, Indiana Pacers team. Knock yourselves out making your predictions. We will now use this thread for this particular subject to refer back to on a game to game basis. Enjoy.

Thanks Paolo.

Heat 95

Hawks 86

No doubt. Point distrubtion will be of 2 points per every correct prediction... 3 bonus points if you guess the correct score... We can keep it like that, or we can add a tie-break im sure you all will have fun with - Which is, guessing what the 5 on the floor will be at a given time.

For tonight I will allow for predictions to come in until half-time, at that point it closes - For the rest of the season predictions must be in before tip-off. have fun.

My prediction is Heat 102 over the Hawks 95.

My prediction for the lineup at crunch time is  Wade, Lebron, Battier, Bosh and Haslem. We can call crunch time as of the 7 minute mark of the 4th quarter - so, whatever the lineup is from the point on will be considered the crunch time lineup. 

Heat-  98 over Hawks-  91

Choice is yours - the one point bonus can be guessing the final five during crunch time or guessing who the leading score for the Heat will be. Go over to the predictions thread to do your thing.

miami 97 

Hawks 92


 Chris Bosh with 22 and 8 rebounds

Lebron with 28 and  7 assists and 10 boards

DWade 26 5 assists and 8 boards


Bold prediction: James Jones 12 min offf the bench... 2/3 6 points 2 assists 3 rebounds 

I say crunch time lineup because the leading scorer is too easy to predict. 95% of the time it will be James or Wade.

Bold prediction: James Jones 12 min offf the bench... 2/3 6 points 2 assists 3 rebounds

This is beyond bold lol. Who gets hurt tonight that allows Jones to get 12 min tonight?

your right bks - I could leave it to each poster to chose which of the two options to use for the tie-break or set it  at one of the two in particular - up to you guys. I predicted my crunch time lineup - I will throw in a wild card and say Bosh will be the leading score tonight.

At any other point in the season, the way things have played themselves out, that might be quite the bold prediction - But, during this stretch it may not be - lol

I am going to make a bold prediction and say we have a bad 3rd qtr.  LOL

As long as its not a costly  3rd quarter, I dont care how bad it is. I would say we might need to find a way to pull away or get some breathing room in the scoreboard by then because this has the looks of a close, back and forth, down to the wire type of game.

doesnt look like any of us are going to be close lol

indeed - We obviously gave the Hawks too much credit... At times, it can be damaging to be humble, eh?

The leading score with 23 pts was LeBron James followed by Dwyane Wade with 21, Mario Chalmers with 15 and Chris Bosh with 14...Leader on the glass was Bosh. There was no need for a crunch time lineup as this game was over when it started. Leading score off the bench Norris Cole with 10 and Battier behind him with 7 points. Everyone who was active played... Mickell Gladness and Terrel Harris the only inactives and didnt play. Finals score was 107-87... As I said earlier, we gave the Hawks far too much credit.

Heat 99

Bucks 97

I predict a 102- 90 Heat win over the Bucks tonight. I look for Dwyane Wade to be the leading score and for Udonis Haslem to lead off the bench.
