Bobcats-Heat Preview

By TAYLOR BECHTOLD
Posted Nov 30 2013 4:10PM
The Miami Heat are cruising through their best stretch since an epic winning streak earlier this year. That's not likely to change against the Charlotte Bobcats - even if LeBron James doesn't play.
It's possible James misses a game for the first time this season as the Heat seek a 10th straight win overall and 14th in a row over the visiting Bobcats on Sunday night.
After finishing with 27 points in a 90-83 win at Toronto on Friday, James is averaging 27.6 points on 61.1 percent shooting - including 14 of 28 from 3-point range - during Miami's nine-game winning streak.
It's the franchise's longest run since its 27-game streak Feb. 3-March 25 that was the second-longest in NBA history.
James, though, said after the contest that he was looking forward to Saturday's day off after injuring his back in a collision with Toronto's Tyler Hansbrough. According to reports, it's possible the reigning MVP could be held out of Sunday's game.
"It bothered me throughout (Friday's) game," said James, who hasn't sat out since some relatively meaningless regular-season games in April. "That's definitely a step backwards, but we'll see what happens the next couple of days."
The Heat (13-3) won 89-79 in Charlotte on April 5 even with James and Dwyane Wade out due to minor injuries, then they beat the Hornets for the 13th straight time with a 97-81 road win Nov. 16 when James scored 30. He's shot 80.4 percent (37 of 46) in his last three games against them, averaging 31.3 points.
Wade had a season-low four points in that last meeting, bothered by a knee problem which caused him to miss the next two games. He's scored more than 20 points in all four games since returning, averaging 23.0 while hitting 62.7 percent from the field.
Chris Bosh hasn't been much help offensively, scoring 5.7 per game on 7-of-24 shooting in the last three, but he helped Miami hold all of those opponents below 40.0 percent from the field.
The Bobcats (8-9) have not shot better than 35.0 percent in any of the last three meetings with the Heat, and they've averaged 86.9 points during their 13-game skid in the series.
Charlotte's Kemba Walker finished with 22 points in the first meeting this season and had 20 in a 109-77 loss in the team's most recent trip to Miami on March 24. Walker, however, has totaled 25 while missing 21 of 27 shots in his last two games overall.
Behind Al Jefferson's season highs of 23 points and 12 rebounds, the Bobcats snapped a two-game skid with a 92-76 victory over Eastern Conference-worst Milwaukee on Friday.
Jefferson, who has battled a nagging ankle injury all season, has posted 18.0 points per game over his last four.
"We have to get him the ball deeper (in the paint) consistently if we're going to beat the best teams," said first-year coach Steve Clifford, whose club is among the league's worst offensively with 88.6 points per game and 40.7 field-goal shooting.
Things aren't likely to get any easier against a Miami team that has given up an average of 90.9 points on 41.1 percent shooting during its streak.
Bobcats starting forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is expected to return after missing one game due to plantar fasciitis.
Charlotte has won four of five on the road but has dropped seven straight in Miami.

[fpliii]

omg Cole, imagine if LBJ didnt make those FTs, tied game....

Jesus ****ing christ man.

[LONGTIME]

Players can't seem to miss free throws on purpose :oldlol:

[EnoughSaid]

This is that type of game that you'd think a team would have just given up on, but not the Heat. Just keep winning games you need to win.

[#number6ix#]

HEAT WIN!!! 10 in a row... BOSH!!!

[Jon_Koncak]

Cole with the NFL tackle on Walker leading to Chalmers dunk and no call :lol :roll:


if it was against Lebron it'd have been a flagrant and 5 game suspension

Nothing against LeBron, but cmon man.

1. Not sure about 100%... but yes, he hit some open 3's in the 4th to take back the lead...

2. Its those last plays that technically win/lose the game and all of them were decided by Lebron at the FT line... unfortunately, for such a Lebron hating Kobetard like you....

3. Stop wasting my time with your butturtedness.

[Quizno]

omg Cole, imagine if LBJ didnt make those FTs, tied game or even a loss....
omg pauk is killing me LMFAO

[Jameerthefear]

Cmon man. Just be glad the heat won. No need to prop up Lebron that much. Bosh needed this type of game and he deserved the game ball.

[Trollsmasher]

Somebody should tell pauk that LeBron is not Allah.

We both know you don't believe this shit. Cmon man, give credit where credit is due. Bosh won the game for Miami, end of story.

I don't have anything against LeBron, but he's of no consequence here, and you can't spin it any other way.

Nothing against you, but this is twisted. I'm not going to respond again in this thread, just thought I'd chime in.

Nobody is butt hurt. I know I said I wouldn't respond again, but I want to clarify...

In an all-time draft, I'll take LeBron before any other non-center. I don't have anything against him and respect his game, but agendas piss me off. Everybody knows that Bosh and Bosh alone is responsible for tonight's win.

[K Xerxes]

Lol, can't believe pauk is acting like LeBron won the game. Bosh scored 13 straight points to single-handedly bring Miami back from the brink; LeBron iced the game with some clutch freethrows.

Sure, both deserve credit, but Bosh deserves the bulk of it. He was phenomenal down the stretch and I don't see why you can't give this game to him.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

I can't imagine what Pauk would be saying if it were Lebron who hit those 3s and Bosh had made the fts. Lmao.

[pauk]

All i said was that if Lebron didnt hit those shots then the game would be sent to Over-Time due to Cole's 3pt foul on Walker....... isnt it true??? :confusedshrug:

All of the sudden everybody complains.... :confusedshrug:

[pauk]

I can't imagine what Pauk would be saying if it were Lebron who hit those 3s and Bosh had made the fts. Lmao.

I really dont get it.... what do you want from me? I gave credit to Bosh for hitting those shots.... just like i gave credit to Lebron for stepping up and making those FTs... maybe i shouldnt have?


I serously dont get whats the deal here... help me out, please... since so many seem to be complaining....

You have no right to call anyone biased, or call yourself unbiased and the preacher of truth.

You're the idiot that blamed Lebron's terrible 2011 finals on Dwyane Wade. You're that idiot. You made a thread about it.
You were so butthurt, you looked for answers elsewhere apart from blaming the finger directly at Lebron, who deserved all the blame.

You are an idiot.

Poor Kemba. He couldn't buy a shot in the 1st half and then when he tries to bounce one off the rim the f*cker goes in.

Terrible no-call on Cole, but I don't think it was a deciding factor. The Heat got hot in the 4th and the Cats came up short.
