Our preview from Tony Atkins. He looks at how the Bucks now are different from the ones that played the Heat last month:

Miami's got Dwyane Wade back after his cheap shot below Ramon Sessions' belt. 

 

 

I've never been a Wade fan. Too much flopping, too much driving into contact with no hope and then complaining if a foul isn't called. I loved the way he played at Marquette and in his first year or two in the league, but I haven't been able to stand him since that Finals series over Dallas. 

 

Miami lost to the Pistons Friday night without Wade, so they'll probably be pretty up for what could have been a boring night in Milwaukee for them. 

 

Predictions?

[JeremySchmidt]

D wayde is amazing!! Heat are going to win tonight.

 

A bold prediction.

Why do you think Tobias is not in the starting lineup anymore and why do you think Scott Skiles keeps shuffling his rotations I've watched about 90% of the Bucks games and no matter who he starts they it always end up in the same 

 

 

because Tobias plays terrible defense and that won't fly with Scott Skiles. Harris has shown us that he is a capable scorer watching him defensively though I think he's still a step to slow to defend 3's and he's not enough of a banger to defend 4's in my opinion.

Tobias is active tonight for the first time in a week or so - he'd been out with an elbow laceration. I think Skiles is more comfortable with Daniels or Mbah a Moute defensively.

This is crazy: Heat have 10 turnovers in 14 minutes of action. That goes a long way towards explaining Milwaukee's 34-24 lead.

[JeremySchmidt]

Dwyane Wade just slapped the ass of a ref sarcastically after not getting a call. This is a guy who complains about not getting the preferable treatment he deserves. 

 

I CANNOT STAND DWYANE WADE.

Super slept on skill: Being creative with moves at the hoop. Luc Mbah a Moute has little subtle moves to avoid getting blocked at the rim. He's good at them and it helps him quite a bit.

Both teams working the refs real hard tonight, I imagine someone will be getting T-ed up soon..Also that pass from Monta just now was awesome

Something's got to give in the Lebron-Mbah a Moute matchup. I suspect 'Bron gets a T either before half time or real quick in the second half.

[JeremySchmidt]

To say the least, I'm surprised about this 56-44 halftime lead. Bucks are really making things tough around the hoop for Miami and doing a good job converting there on their end.

[Jon Hartzell]

I can't get enough Mbah a Moute. He's a difference maker on both ends and he's arguably the best cutter on the team. All hail the Prince.

[JeremySchmidt]

Very little about the good things the Bucks have done in the first half seems sustainable now that the second half is happening.

[JeremySchmidt]

Since he came back Luc has looked like he has improved on the offensive side of the ball. Finding open lanes and getting to the rim. He has really been impressive tonite.

 

He's been the best part of the night, for sure.

[Ted]

McGlocklin is going to have a stroke if they keep this up. Sanders has missed a few blockouts 2nite that last one cost a bucket, cant afford that against the world champs

[Patti]

Have to watch Sun Sports here in Florida...they think everyone in Florida should be a Heat fan, I guess.  Anyway, the whole half time show was about Jennings & Ellis.  WOW...that was a change from the usual Wade, Bosh & James worship session they subject me to.

 

 

Watched Pistons last night...fingers crossed...knees crossed....toes crossed...eyes crossed....anything else?

 

Go Bucks!

[JeremySchmidt]

All of Lebron James early frustrations have been stolen by Brandon Jennings. I've never seen someone sprint off the court onto the bench as fast as he just did when Beno checked in for him. He's upset about the lack of calls for the Bucks and probably just the third quarter in general. 27-11 Heat.
