On the Heat: Hot Hot Hoops / Peninsula is Mightier / ESPN Heat Index / South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Fresh off their first road win of the 2012 season, the Milwaukee Bucks leave behind a Big Three in turmoil to take on a Big Three missing one of its stars. The Heat have hardly missed a beat despite playing without Dwyane Wade, who has sat out three straight games with an ankle injury and is listed as questionable for today's game. Earning a second consecutive road win is sure to be a tough task, but the Bucks played well against New York and finally have a little momentum away from home.
Update: Dwyane Wade has officially been ruled out of today's game, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.
Addition by Subtrac--no, that's ridiculous. The Heat are 5-0 without Dwyane Wade and 5-4 with him. It writes itself. Are the Heat a better team with Wade watching from the bench? Is it possible that any team that has Dwyane Wade is actually better without Dwyane Wade? That's hard to believe, but it's impossible to ignore the narrative. So while a few things might look prettier with Wade sidelined (namely the production of LeBron and Chris Bosh), I doubt many Bucks fans are saying to themselves, "Man, I really hope Wade comes back and plays against us tonight!"
Stack Back. After sitting out the Bucks' road win in New York as he served a team-imposed suspension, Stephen Jackson is likely to return to the starting lineup tonight because...well, that's just how things work. This is really an immensely complicated situation. The Bucks are definitely a better with team with Jackson playing--so long as he's playing well. Whether that second qualification will be met more often than not is anyone's guess. In fairness, Milwaukee won last night thanks primarily to a strong defensive effort, combined with a miserable offensive performance from the Knicks--it was hardly an offensive explosion from the Bucks. For one game, though, Jackson's absence seemed totally inconsequential, as Shaun Livingston filled in with an excellent game as the starting shooting guard. Jax didn't sound thrilled about being held out, but hopefully seeing the team thrive without him will prove nothing more than motivation to return and show how good they can be with him.
A Roster Reunited. Stephen Jackson's banishment to the bench was thankfully accompanied by the return of Luc Mbah a Moute and Mike Dunleavy Jr., who returned from injuries to play 24 and 13 minutes against the Knicks, respectively. Assuming Mbah a Moute is up for extended playing time, he'll have his work cut out for him alternately defending LeBron and Bosh.
Run Run Reindeer. The Bucks seem to have made a real effort to pick up the tempo this season, as they currently rank 10th in pace after two Skiles-led seasons as a slower-than-average team. We've frequently extolled the benefits of a high-paced attack for the Bucks' roster as-constructed, but nobody gets more out of their running game than the Miami Heat. With two of the most lethal transition players in the NBA calling Miami home, stunning open-court plays are a regular occurrence. Miami also possesses a strong half-court defense thanks to the numerous and versatile individual defenders on the roster. Milwaukee would probably be best-served to establish a running attack of their own, but they can hardly afford to let the game devolve into a track meet.
The Battle For Przybilla. If Joel Przybilla does return to basketball this season, many NBA insiders have pegged the Heat and Bucks as his two most likely destinations. The lure of Miami is obvious, so it's time for the Bucks to show Joel that Wisconsin is the place to be! <looks outside at blowing snow> <sobs>

I hope for a loss, along w/ a great game by Bogut and/or BJ
Gotta keep their trade value up ; )
I’d love a scenario where the Bucks trade Bogut for Horford, maintain a top 5 pick, and somehow move some players and land a proven scorer in the off season…
Now THAT would give hope for next season! A big 3 of BJ, Horford, and [insert scorer here] not to mention whoever the lottery pick may be…
Don't we have a proven scorer at 19.9 ppg?

A big 3 of BJ, Horford, and a sg/wing like Iggy, Granger, K Martin, etc...
Plus a top 5 – 10 pick.
To me, this is another lost season, but the cupboard isn’t bare, and Milw could be a 45-50 win team next yr if JH makes some good moves.
Please no
I would not trade a Bogut for a Horford. Then we’ll have the same problem Atlanta has. Good post player but not a good defender and he is short for a center. K Mart is damage goods and volatile and both Iggy and Granger are tweeners. I like them both as players but it would be more of the same for us.
by commonknowledge on Jan 22, 2012 1:29 PM CST up reply actions
I wasn't aware that K Martin had baggage & injury history
I don’t care that Granger and Iggy are tweeners – they’re athletic and can score
And for BJs game to be effective, he would greatly benefit from a good post scorer, which Bogut is not. I love Bogues, but it appears his best days are behind him…
You could always play
the 6’9" Horford at the PF and let Leuer (6’10") play the C spot.

Little early to call Brandon a "proven scorer"
I’m thrilled with his season so far, but he’s gotta do it for more than a month.

BJ and Bogut #3 and 4 scorers
I think BJ would be a great number three scorer on a team and Bogut would be a great number 4 option on a team. So I agree, I do not think he could carry a team on his back a whole season. He would be good if the two top scorers are struggling on the same night.

Im going to go out on a limb, I'll borrow one of Mike Dunleavy's legs, and say on this team Jennings is a proven scorer
at least we dont have John Salmons as our proven scorer anymore woot!

You Know What
I think we should shed as much money as we can and make a run at J.R. Smith next year and trade/sign Michael Beasly. And also try to add Robin Lopez next year. That would be a solid starting five next year for sure. Anything else we get in the draft would be extra.

I have mixed feelings on Beasely
Great talent, moderate head case.
I’d take a flyer on him if the price was right…
But I’ll pass on JR Smith
Beasley(sorry)
I think we need a little fire on the Bucks and JR would be better than any two guard we had in a while. We got Jackson, Salmons and…….Ummmm???? The point is these guys will run, athletic and show some emotion. The look like they care on the court. That’s what I want to see.

He and Wilson Chandler are playing under non-opt out deals in the Chinese Basketball Association.
They will be given permission to pursue a contract with an NBA team once their team has been eliminated from playoff contention. The Chinese Basketball Association’s regular season ends on February 15th, while the post season season ends on March 28th, so at some point in the next two months they will be talking with NBA teams.

He will be expiring anyway. Gooden if anyone

Was just writing this
Tough to predict the kind of role Jackson will play on the team next year. It likely depends heavily on how the rest of this season goes. But his big EC is valuable in its own right, so I’d be surprised if Milwaukee burned their amnesty provision on him. Gooden does currently seem the most likely choice.

S-Jax playing any decent defense this year? or is that rep a bit inflated in the flesh?
That," says LeBron, "is for everyone that watches me play. They witness something special. You're all a witness.
The numbers aren’t exceedingly kind, but I suppose he hasn’t been terrible. Probably about what you’d expect from a historically good defender who’s just getting older.

okay fair enough
still he talks a good game so thats what counts right. smoke and mirrors
That," says LeBron, "is for everyone that watches me play. They witness something special. You're all a witness.
Another year?
Crap. I realize that Gooden has more years and would make a better amnesty candidate.
I plan on ending every sentence the rest of this season with...at least we dont have John Salmons
soooo 5-9 aint half considering technically we are now as good as Boston, we still have Drew Gooden, a 27% sharp shooter in Mike Dunleavy jnr & wait for it….at least we dont have John Salmons.
That," says LeBron, "is for everyone that watches me play. They witness something special. You're all a witness.
To all the Aussie readers, this is an awesome showing by the fans at the Australian Open when Tomas Berdych refused to shake hands after his match.
He got hit by shot (on a legit cross-court attempt at a passing volley), and then refused to shake his opponent’s hand after the match. The crowd met his decision with the appropriate response.

yeah mate we dont like that stuff you play hard, belt the crap out of each other on the field...
but after you shake hands and have a beer and laugh about it

Exactly. That was a punk move by Berdych.

Less Wade means more LeBron
So I can see a scenario where not having Wade could possibly make the Heat better for certain stretches. When you have a lot of great but also very high usage players it eventually becomes a case of diminishing returns.
I've read an article
That claims LBJ is much better with no Wade and the Heat probably should have picked one or the other.
"He always plays like he's a pit bull that hasn't been fed in about a year and that you've got pork chops in your pockets and that's the basketball." Of course, he's Canadian
Half right, IMO
I think LeBron is the best player in the NBA and it’s not close. Conceivably, taking any opportunities away from him is by definition a bad idea. But basketball is hardly built around such concrete mathematics or whatever you want to call it, and the nature of LeBron’s game can take a guy like Wade and make him even better. It’s just a matter of using both of them correctly, which the Heat don’t always do consistently.
by Dan Sinclair on Jan 22, 2012 4:51 PM CST up reply actions
Not to mention the concept of a replacement player filling in for D-Wade.
Clearly the Heat are worse off with just one of them, even if both play slightly worse than if they were there solo

I can't find it atm
But it was likely one of those BS articles to drum up interest if you know what I mean
"He always plays like he's a pit bull that hasn't been fed in about a year and that you've got pork chops in your pockets and that's the basketball." Of course, he's Canadian
In practice, yes
But I’d argue that any dip in efficiency due to playing Wade with LeBron is due to poor playcalling, ball sharing, etc. That counts, I suppose. But when those two are working well together (which they’ve done for stretches), I don’t think there’s a team on this planet that can stop them.
by Dan Sinclair on Jan 22, 2012 4:42 PM CST up reply actions
Would this solve the problem?
Bogut and Jennings for Wade?
"He always plays like he's a pit bull that hasn't been fed in about a year and that you've got pork chops in your pockets and that's the basketball." Of course, he's Canadian
Haha, feels like the Heat would deny just about any Wade trade on principle, but that would sure give them an interesting team. They’d be a hell of a lot of fun to watch, if nothing else.

I think they might be a better team(emphasis on team)

Surprisingly, I sold Jennings short, it seems

I honestly think they should trade dwade for howard and call it a team

either a few more shots or a few more shots leading to easier shots for others.

We are all witnesses to the douchebaggery of LeBron James.
28 points in a loss with 8 of 18 shooting? Classic LBJ.

I'd say classic LBJ is more 30-35 points on 50% shooting
I’m just thankful we got the non-classic LBJ tonight.

Defense on Bosh was pretty good too
Although he has a nice stat line.
Haslem never really got into the game…that had ot help too.
I'm off the tank bandwagon
I would be good with making the playoffs, it’s just 9th sucks
"He always plays like he's a pit bull that hasn't been fed in about a year and that you've got pork chops in your pockets and that's the basketball." Of course, he's Canadian
Right now, they are the 8th seed.
Nah, doesn’t cheer me up either …but a nice win today.
Skiles is to be commended for sticking with Livingston.
Not only did he start, he led the team in minutes tonight. After seeing Skiles ride Jax for heavy minutes on bad nights in the past, it is nice to see him go with Livingston more tonight.
He's not riding Delfino like
The last couple years either
"He always plays like he's a pit bull that hasn't been fed in about a year and that you've got pork chops in your pockets and that's the basketball." Of course, he's Canadian
Yup
Delfino has played great on D and you always have to check if his jumper is on, but ball movement is not as good with him on the floor.
Agreed
Livingston has been impressive and a steal in the Jackson trade.
I think it is more a product of riding Ersan while he is playing well and getting Luc minutes at PF too.

I submit to the "too many cooks in the kitchen" theory
My ideal rotation for this team would distribute the minutes as such:
PG: Jennings (30+), Udrih (12-16), Livingston (4-8)
SG: Jackson (20-24), Livingston (8-12), Delfino (8-12), Dunleavy (8-12)
SF: Mbah a Moute (24-28), Jackson (10-12), Delfino (8-10), Harris (8-12), Livingston (4-8)
PF: Leuer (24-28), Ilyasova (18-24), Mbah a Moute (4-8), Gooden (4-8)
C: Bogut (30+), Gooden (8-14), Sanders (6-10)
At least for this season, I think this setup would give you the best mix of personnel at any given point in the game. For next year, Jackson’s minutes need to go down, either Delfino or Dunleavy needs to be eliminated (too redundant; Delfino expires this offseason), and Gooden needs to be limited as much as possible.

Funny about Beno
I think a lot of us felt that he was going to be Ridnour 2.0 but he really had been disappointing so far, there’s till time but I know I for one expected a little more.
"He always plays like he's a pit bull that hasn't been fed in about a year and that you've got pork chops in your pockets and that's the basketball." Of course, he's Canadian
And we thought we would get little from Leuer
This year anyway
"He always plays like he's a pit bull that hasn't been fed in about a year and that you've got pork chops in your pockets and that's the basketball." Of course, he's Canadian
Just wondering how Battier looked
His stats seem wayyyyyyy down this year.
"He always plays like he's a pit bull that hasn't been fed in about a year and that you've got pork chops in your pockets and that's the basketball." Of course, he's Canadian
he looks older
doesnt have the same d he used to and just doesnt get the opportunities to shoot it seems
Thanks
"He always plays like he's a pit bull that hasn't been fed in about a year and that you've got pork chops in your pockets and that's the basketball." Of course, he's Canadian
If +/- was the basis for judging players
Eddy Curry was Miami’s tonight, he was +3, everyone else was minus save Pittman who was even
"He always plays like he's a pit bull that hasn't been fed in about a year and that you've got pork chops in your pockets and that's the basketball." Of course, he's Canadian
Always beware the single-game +/- references....

Recap is up
Just did a short one to start but will be blowing it out to its usual format in the next hour or two.
