Seventh straight butt kicking!
Kings were feisty and as usual gave their best effort against the Heat. Rest up Heat, bring the D and pressure for Lin and the Knicks. Get to the rim/line. Hopefully Knicks go iso again—did some of that against the Nets and start chuckin like their old selves although they have looked like a different team lately. More dents in Linsanity! Beat the Knicks

That's a key!
The defensive rebound closes the possession! If you give anybody enough shots at the rim, they going to make something. Giving up offensive rebounds is backbreaker at crunch time.

Told you guys Wade was gonna get his night one of these days.
Shame I wasn’t there when it happened, but I felt it and he delivered :D Now we can worry about Lin and the Knicks. Like I said, Keep capitalizing on Lin’s TO’s early. Fast break points should be second nature. Rebounding is also important just in case we miss during the fast break. Heat should keep this up for 3 quarters. Let Wade dominate early and put him on Lin. LeBron in the third. If we’re less than 20 points up, I won’t take any chances in the fourth. I’d put at least one of the Big Three in there with our bench players. Whoever has the hot hand. We’ve been doing well so far and it’ll be nice to go into the break with an 8 game winning streak. LET’S GO HEAT!
OH! Those are really cool! (OH! Those are really cool!)
I can't wait to see what kind of shoes Michael Beasley wears! (I can't wait to see what kind of shoes Michael Beasley wears!)
OH! I love Michael Beasley's hair! (I can't wait to see Michael Beasley play defense!)
