Well we're still sticking with our #2 seed half a game in front of Boston. Hopefully they drop another game and we don't, otherwise it'll end up coming down to the game in Boston (and since they have the tie-breaker, if we end up tied they will get the seed).
That said it probably doesn't matter that much, the #1 seed is really the only one that holds that much significance in terms of giving an advantage.

Great win today guys. Let's not overstate it, but it just proves we can beat the Celtics. Boom.

Here we are boys. #2 seed clinched. Happy to play either the Sixers or Knicks, don't think it will really make a difference. Mentally might be better to play the Sixers though. Do we rest the Final game? Give Wade a rest I say.

Re: 2010-2011 Official Miami Heat Thread
Without a doubt, take all of the key players out of the game and empty the bench. Miami with this crucial win has secured home court advantage versus all playoff teams except for the two top Conference seeds, Chicago and San Antonio. Even if they lose their last game, and the Lakers win their next two to tie the regular season record, Miami wins the tie breaker with their series win. And even if Dallas wins their final game and Miami loses to tie the regular season record, Miami has home court advantage because they clinched their division but Dallas would be behind San Antonio.

Lol the Heat don't really have enough players to play if they sit the Big 3 though. I reckon they'll sit Wade and maybe Bosh, and play LeBron.

Re: 2010-2011 Official Miami Heat Thread
How do you figure they don't have enough players to play? They've got a full roster. Guards: Bibby, Chalmers, Miller, House. Forward and centres: Howard, Jones, Dampier, Anthony, Ilgauskas and Magloire. I have no idea what Erik will do, maybe he wants to keep the rust off his players and let them play sparing minutes, even if it is 5-18 minutes in the game. If he really wants to rest his key players, like Doc Rivers, it can be done, it doesn't matter if the forwards and centres are playing out of position. They would all be averaging 24 minutes a game if they split the time between each position.

Re: 2010-2011 Official Miami Heat Thread
Yeah but we'll get smashed without the starters. I mean, we do have enough players, but we don't have any legitimate options after the Big 3. We'll see what they do... Should be interesting.
Bibby, Miller, Jones, Juwan, Z with Joel, Rio and Eddie House off the bench as the 7 man rotation most likely

Re: 2010-2011 Official Miami Heat Thread
Ahh, I see what you mean. Like I said, it doesn't matter if the Heat lose the game or not, even if it is a blowout, this final game has no consequence to their seeding or home court advantage. To me, the best thing you can do is to rest the Big 3, and have the whole bench emptied out to make up for the minutes. It's irrelevant if they get blown out by 50 points or not. Have most of the oldies play sparingly up to about 15 mins, and have the younger guys out there doing the other 30-38 minutes. They've got until Saturday EST before the playoffs begin so they will be well rested and have fresh legs.

Could be a clean sweep. We swept the season series 3-0 and won by an average margin of 10+ points.

Re: 2010-2011 Official Miami Heat Thread
Well, Erik went and filled out all the bench like I hoped he would and played his oldies of Bibby and Ilgauskas to 15 mins max which is great, giving everyone a good rest. A win is a bonus but not important, and it's good to see the Heat go in healthy and confident.

Damn a big win as well. Eddie House went berserk, career high 35 points including 7/13 triples. Magloire grabbed 19 boards, Juwan Howard scored 18 points.
