LeBron Feeling Hot in Phoenix

This guy sick is still better than your guy healthy.
A feverish James.  No Wade.  Banged up Chalmers.  No threes from Allen. Sixth straight road game.  And the Heat still win 97-88 against the Pheonix Suns.

(Writing this type of intro is getting redundant, but better than using the issues as an excuse for a lose.)

The Big Four were the Big One Point Five tonight.

Bosh providing the Big One, shooting 9-11 while going for 24, nine rebounds, three assists, a steal and two blocks (along with 5 turnovers).

LeBron James supplied the Point Five while playing sick with flu symptoms. He left the game temporarily in the first quarter due to sickness.  Had only one jumper fall in the second half.  But he still managed 41 minutes played, 21 points, seven rebounds, and a huge layup at the end.  A Big Point Five is better than most Regular-Sized Ones.

Ray Allen played pedestrian tonight   Not a three attempted, three turnovers, and his shaky D persists.

Shane Battier continued his hot shooting, going 4-8 from downtown.  Only if this can be maintained for the whole season!

Before thinking UD's done, look at his per minute rebounds, shooting percentage, and scoring efficiency.  In these terms, he's having one of his better seasons.  And this isn't counting his heart, which is a key Heat stat.

Not much to see here, folks.  Another nice win for the Heat considering the circumstances.  They now head home for some deserved rest after going 4-2 on their longest road trip of the season.

Next game: Wednesday vs the Bucks.

8-3
