their 4 losses have come against 4 pretty good teams. cleveland, sac, minny and san ant.

is this game a track meet or do the heat try and slow down the suns and make it a half court game ?

i'm not sure any team in the league can run with them for 48 minutes.

phoenix - 5.5 and 215.5

what happens in the game of the night ? i know i'll be watching on nba tv

If they shoot 58% again like the Indiana game, then they will have no problems.

this doesnt factor in tonight , but here is a little phoenix info .

when they catch teams in the second night of back to backs they are 9-1 straight up and 8-2 against the spread. losses were at cleveland ( phoe was also playing back to back ) and home against milw .

when phoenix is rested and the other team is playing back to back , phoenix is 4-1-1 against the number. only loss was laying 10.5 to milw and winning by 7

they are winning the games in scenario 1 by an average of 19 points a game.

what a show they put on. i would pay to see them.

I like Miami with the points and even more than that I like the under.

Call me crazy, but Wade will be difficult to guard and Shaq will get his 22 points and 12 rebounds. Phoenix will try to run but I expect Miami to do whatever they can to slow it down a bit so Shaq can get back on defense. Wade may be in a position to have a monster 35+ game.

miami and the under would certainly correlate.

i also have a slight lean on the under. i'm just looking forward to watching what could be the game of the year so far.

IMO this is a big test for Miami not Phoenix. Phoenix has already proven they can dominate anyone, with the exception of SA.

phoenix's only other tough game against the east was at cleveland where they lost. i think they need to show the beast of the east how things are done out west.

looking forward to seeing how Amare handles the big Aristotle tonight .

I think they will use the same thinking on Shaq. Hunter, Voskuhl, and Lampe will use fouls so Stat doesn't. Suns never rebound well so Shaq probably will have a monster numbers game, but if the Suns score over 110 it won't matter a bit.

I'm gona watch and learn...Miami has lost the last two on the pick and roll and they know it I want to see how they adjust to the P&R on the third loss...not on this game...Shaq is a liability on fast break teams then throw in good coaching and the Pick & Roll and that = a corvette not a brick wall.

Phoenix's loss to Spurs was in San Antonio I believe, not sure about the other 3 losses. That's why I think it is so important they maintain the best record in the West & NBA, because I see no team able to keep pace with them scoring~wise in a series with the Suns having home ~ court advantage.....

I have never been more wrong trying to cap this game. Phoenix is the best team I have seen in years. They are playing like they have played together for ages. Miami is good but had no luck trying to slow this game down.

I wish I had a futures bet on Phoenix as it seems like it will pay off big.

I managed to get them at 15-1 early Dec to win the West, which is'nt so hot when there were 35's available just a week and a half earlier.
