James Jones will likely move back into the rotation with Mike Miller out. Miller won't be traveling with the team on the 3-game road trip.

can we put curry in just to foul howard please

GOOD SHIT JJ

SVG is about to have a heart attack

JJ

man bosh is so much fun to watch when his shot is on. his offensive skill set is amazing

This game should prove that we need to involve JJ in the rotation somehow.

Eye-opening numbers for Heat's Big Three; UM/NCAA news, Fins and more



WEDNESDAY BUZZ COLUMN; For Peyton Manning and more Dolphins news today, see our story on the sports home page.

With LeBron James and Dwyane Wade on the floor together, the Heat is simply better than last season, outscoring opponents by 14.4 per 48 minutes entering Tuesday’s game against Orlando, compared with 11.8 last season. There’s no doubt the three stars have developed more chemistry.
But do you want to know an even more pronounced difference? It’s how much better James and Chris Bosh are now, compared to 2010-11, when they’re operating as the only “star” on the court.
When James is on the floor but Wade is not, the Heat is outscoring teams by 8.1 per 48 minutes, compared with 3.9 per 48 last season. And consider this: The Heat has used eight lineups for at least 10 minutes in which James is on the floor, but without Wade or Bosh, according to nba.com and basketballvalue.com.
Those lineups have outscored teams by 95 points in 266 minutes, a staggering plus-17.1 per 48, compared with 10.1 last year.
Do you have any idea how good that is? For perspective, consider that only four lineups in the NBA are better than a plus 95 (including the Heat’s starting lineup, at plus 113). And that’s without Wade or Bosh!
"Not only do I have to score more,” without Wade and Bosh, James said, “but I have to make more plays for my teammates. I know I have to put it in the basket more with two of our best scoring threats off the floor.”
In fact, the Heat’s second-best plus/minus lineup is one without Wade or Bosh: It’s James, Udonis Haslem, Mike Miller, Norris Cole and Shane Battier. That group has outscored teams, 180-141, in 78 minutes.
This, of course, is not only a function of James’ greatness, but also the Heat’s improved bench. As one Heat official said, “look who’s around him now” when James is on the floor without Wade or Bosh to close the first quarter. James also credits “better cohesiveness.”
With Bosh, the story goes deeper. Last year, he played only 125 minutes without Wade and James, and the Heat was plus-11. Entering Tuesday, the Heat had played 210 minutes with Bosh as the only star on the floor and had outscored teams by 45. In fact, the Heat’s second most-used lineup is Bosh, Cole, Battier, Miller and Haslem, which is plus-13 in 118 minutes.
Coach Erik Spoelstra is often using Bosh – but without James or Wade – to start the second quarter because he wants “to get our reserves an opportunity to get a good rhythm. We’re very conscious of managing the minutes of Dwyane and LeBron, particularly Dwyane.”
Said Bosh: “I’m pleased with it. It helps me be aggressive and gets the other guys involved.”
FYI: The Heat is plus-17 in 174 minutes when Wade, but not James, is on the floor.
CHATTER
### The Heat entered the week believing a trade before Thursday’s deadline isn’t very likely. But Miami wants to see who’s bought out; players who have been in the league this year must be bought out or cut by March 23 to be playoff eligible elsewhere. The Heat did not make an offer to Rasheed Wallace, who’s mulling a comeback, because he wasn’t in good enough shape. Miami has touched base with veteran free agent center Dan Gadzuric.

we need to trade for kaman or something, this is embarrassing
