Heat Look To Shoot Down Hawks

 Miami welcomes Atlanta to South Beach tonight for what looks to be a great game. One one hand, the Heat are only 1 and 6 against teams with + .500 records. However, the Heat are playing some good basketball right now, and just got the rest they needed. Tonight's game is a momentum shifter for either team as we being to enter the middle of this season.

I really hope we see the Miami Heat team that destroyed Cleveland in tonight's game. Lets go through the lineup and see tonight's keys to victory.

LeBron has to be LeBron. We saw a glimpse of everything his is capable of against Cleveland the other night, which was amazing. LeBron got to the lane at will, made some great plays on both ends of the court, and was knocking down big shots easily. I expect his incredible defense tonight against a powerful Hawks Squad.

Wade just has to keep scoring. He tore it up last night, which complimented James' efforts beautifully. I love how Wade understands that he is not the vocal leader on this team anymore and fully embraces his new duties. If Wade and James are on the same page, Atlanta is in a lot of trouble.

The thing I love about Bosh is his consistency. He is a solid jump shot, crashes the boards, and has made some great plays as of late. He has been the anchor of the front court, and should continue his solid play tonight. When he opens up those lanes for LeBron and D Wade, Miami is extremely hard to stop.

As for the bench, I am really impressed with how the have played recently. They are all getting their points and knocking down the open shot. On top of that, the defense has been outstanding. I expect Chalmers and Howard to get some more minutes tonight. Chalmers has been playing good basketball lately, and I think he has earned some more time on the court. Hopefully coach Spo will see this at well.

This game is a real test for the Heat. They beat up on some suspect teams, and now it is time to go against one of the big dogs. I want to see Miami go out their and earn their spot in the east. I said LeBron would have a big game against Cleveland, and he did. Tonight, I expect no less than 30 points from the king.
Get em.
