|
| | | MIAMI: GUARDS: DWYANE WADE will continue to take a smaller role during the regular season, as the Heat try desperately to keep him fresh for the playoffs. He's attacking the rim far less than he used to . . . MARIO CHALMERS will continue to start, playing off the ball more than any other point guard . . . RAY ALLEN will once again serve as sixth man, providing long-range shooting off the bench. He didn't start a single game last year, and at age 38, he'll rarely play full-time minutes as Miami looks toward the postseason . . . NORRIS COLE continues to inch up on Chalmers' starting role, improving nicely between his first and second seasons. But as long as Chalmers is the superior shooter, Cole will play behind him. FORWARDS: LEBRON JAMES is the best player in the league by a wide margin. There's no reason he shouldn't win his third straight MVP award . . . SHANE BATTIER is back as a glue guy, flopper and corner-three shooter. He'll play part-time minutes, often coming off the bench . . . UDONIS HASLEM will likely start, but he rarely stays on the floor for even half of a game. The Heat will continue to rotate big men alongside Chris Bosh . . . MICHAEL BEASLEY provides this team with an athlete who can put the ball in the basket coming off the bench. He must prove he can stay focused and out of trouble . . . RASHARD LEWIS may step into a slightly bigger role now that Mike Miller is gone. His troublesome knees won't allow him to play a lot of minutes, but he still shoots it well enough to help for a few minutes a night . . . JAMES JONES might have to do more than enjoy a courtside seat now that Miller is gone. CENTERS: CHRIS BOSH plays center in the Heat's small-ball lineup. He'll do his thing in the high post, and he's one of Miami's rotating rim protectors . . . CHRIS ANDERSEN did enough last postseason to earn a part-time role this year . . . The Heat hope GREG ODEN and Birdman will stagger their injuries. Oden should be part of a rotation alongside Bosh . . .

JOE JOHNSON started to break down last season, so along with fewer shots (with the upgrade to the rest of the roster), he figures to play fewer regular-season minutes as well . . . JASON TERRY is clearly in the decline phase of his career, but is still the top scoring option among Brooklyn's second unit . . . ALAN ANDERSON gives them another shooter off the bench . . . SHAUN LIVINGSTON steps into the back-up point guard spot vacated by C.J. Watson. The injury-prone vet will be one of the more rarely used back-up PGs . . . TYSHAWN TAYLOR will be a non-factor. FORWARDS: PAUL PIERCE still has something left in the tank. While his athleticism is fading, he's still a cagey scorer who can also play some point forward to set up Williams . . . ANDREI KIRILENKO will be a Swiss army knife sixth man and should see plenty of starts as new head coach Jason Kidd rotates which veterans rest . . . REGGIE EVANS was retained for his rebounding ability and willingness to look ridiculous while flopping . . . ANDRAY BLATCHE will continue to settle in as a second-unit big. He's a name to remember for the future, as Kevin Garnett doesn't have much left in the tank . . . MIRZA TELETOVIC will be a seldom-used option as a stretch four . . . TORNIKE SHENGELIA is still years away from contributing, and the influx of veterans will further delay his development. CENTERS: Last year did a lot to assuage durability concerns for BROOK LOPEZ. He's highly skilled, and he may be forced to grab more rebounds now that Reggie Evans is on the second unit . . . KEVIN GARNETT will start at power forward. He's still an effective pick-and-pop shooter and pick-and-roll defender, but he'll have to rest often during the regular season . . . MASON PLUMLEE is in no position to help this season. |

*Heat-Nets Preview* ===================
By JEFF BARTL STATS Writer
Miami (27-8) at Brooklyn (14-21), 8:00 p.m. EDT
The Brooklyn Nets have been through their share of adversity, with the latest setback being an injury to Deron Williams.
They've been hot lately, though, and will look to complete a perfect homestand while winning a fifth straight game as they host the Miami Heat on Friday night.
Brooklyn (14-21) has been one of the most disappointing teams in the league under first-year coach Jason Kidd, who has squabbled with assistant Lawrence Frank and was fined for deliberately spilling a drink to delay a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Nov. 27.
Brook Lopez is out for the season after having surgery for a broken foot, and Williams has missed the last two games and is expected to miss at least the next two with an ankle injury.
Joe Johnson picked up the slack Wednesday, scoring 27 points to help the Nets end Golden State's 10-game winning streak with a 102-98 victory. They've won the first three on their four-game homestand.
"The confidence is in the fight," said Kevin Garnett, who had 11 of his 13 points in the fourth quarter. "Jason's done a great job of just continuing to explain what he wants out of this offense and I think we're picking it up slowly but surely."
Brooklyn, which won five of its first 14 at home before winning its last four at Barclays Center, trailed by as many as 16.
"We got down, but we didn't give in," said Andray Blatche, who had 17 points off the bench. "We continued to fight and we closed it out."
Paul Pierce, who added 11, hopes the Nets' streak is a sign they are turning things around.
"We've just gotta keep building," Pierce said.
Before the team's troubles, Brooklyn beat Miami 101-100 at home Nov. 1 behind 19 points apiece from Johnson and Pierce to end a 13-game losing streak in the series.
The Heat will look to avenge that defeat while bouncing back from Thursday's 102-92 loss to New York that ended their three-game winning streak.
LeBron James scored 32 points and Dwyane Wade added 23, but Miami (27-9) played without Mario Chalmers for a second straight game due to a right Achilles strain. Shane Battier sat out a fourth consecutive contest to nurse a strained left quadriceps.
Miami didn't have much to say after the loss.
"They played a great game," said James, who had 26 points in the first meeting with the Nets. "They made some timely shots."
Coach Erik Spoelstra seemed ready to move on quickly.
"All I know about this game is they outplayed us and they earned that win," Spoelstra said.
Wade missed all six of his free throws after sitting out the morning shootaround to rest his knees. He was cleared to play later in the day, but he seemed peeved when asked about his misses at the line.
"I only missed six," Wade said. "I didn't miss 20. It wasn't that damn bad."
Norris Cole was the only other player in double figures with 12, as Chris Bosh went 3 for 10 from the field and scored six points. Bosh is averaging 8.7 points while shooting 30.8 percent over his last three.
He's averaged 12.3 points and shot 38.5 percent in his last four against the Nets.
