Yikes, Wanamaker starting. I was kinda hoping it’d be Ojeleye to let Brown play the 2. Anyway, let’s go C’s!!!

Fully expecting a loss tonight given our injuries but that’s why we play the games right?

Wanamaker isn't official, just FLCeltsFan guess.

...if [Smart] can't play.  I'm guessing that Brad Wanamaker will get the start in his place, but that's just a guess.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

It may very well be Ojeleye starting.  I just took a guess.  I really don't have a clue who Brad will start.

Well, Smart's definitely out.

Marcus Smart is still sick. He will not play tonight. No word on his oblique, per Stevens.

I’m guessing Semi, just due to Heat size advantage.

Thank you FL for setting up these threads. We all really appreciate it!

I wonder what the numbers are for...

Thies + Tatum

As a front court.

Stevens has:

Semi - Kanter - Robert

As options. I wouldn't be surprised to see him start Robert one of these nights. Stevens loves to put out a "surprise starter" now and then, so, why not his most timelordiness?

Walker
Brown
Tatum
Robert/Semi
Theis

Wanamaker
Semi/Robert
Kanter
Waters

Miami is off an OT game last night against the dinos. Jaylen will have to make Buckets..."empty" whilst the benchers play tough on defense.

Heat "look" tough of late (just beat dreaded Raps), but, their schedule has been mediocre. Their style isn't entirely different from Celtics.

They must be defeated this evening.

I am looking forward to seeing Miami play.

They have played much better than I had expected. They have gotten much more from their non-Jimmy Butler players than I thought they would. And they are passing the ball very well.

One of the big surprise teams of the season for me.

I'd like to see Grant get a shot as a starter. I think he is a stronger post defender than Semi.

Good test for the C's especially without Marcus.

Hopefully they can take seize of the rest advantage and get this win. It'd be nice to get some tiebreaker progress in case the 2/3/4 seed remains as tight as it currently looks.

Spoelstra is also out tonight.  Might not be much of a needle mover, but I'll take it.

Dan Craig will coach the Heat tonight. Erik Spoelstra went home for the arrival of he and Nikki’s second son.

Has Miami sports radio starting bashing Spol choosing child's birth over coaching tonight or does that only happen on Boston sports radio?

That's really a Boston/NY thing I think. Maybe Philly.

Well specifically a Boston/NY/Philly radio thing.

Oh yeah, it was totally tongue in cheek.
