|
| |  | PHILADELPHIA: GUARDS: Welcome to Tankadelphia. MICHAEL CARTER-WILLIAMS will be handed the reigns at the point, and has the size and savvy to create some offense. But a work-in-progress jumper and too many risky passes will lead to plenty of lost possessions . . . The Sixers would love to unload perennially disappointing ex-No. 2 pick EVAN TURNER. He's yet to develop a jump shot, and while he'll start for a laughably thin Philly team, he looks more and more like a second-unit player . . . JAMES ANDERSON could end up playing a lot of minutes off the bench, simply because the Sixers don't have enough NBA-caliber players . . . JASON RICHARDSON will miss at least half the season after major knee surgery. He may never contribute in the NBA again'TONY WROTEN could see the floor plenty as a high-upside player who must cut down on his turnovers and improve his jump shot. FORWARDS: THADDEUS YOUNG will likely step up as the No. 1 option, and he very well may be the only player on this team that would make a rotation of a playoff contender. We'll see what he can do with defenses focused on stopping him . . . LAVOY ALLEN will be leaned on for heavy minutes as one of their few proven players . . . ARNETT MOULTRIE might end up with a very big role this year, as the Sixers are especially lacking post players. He at least rebounds and gets in people's way defensively . . . Philly will try its hand with ROYCE WHITE, who has plenty of talent but just as much baggage. He and the Rockets couldn't see eye-to-eye with how to manage his anxiety issues . . . TIM OHLBRECHT might actually see the court on this team. CENTERS: SPENCER HAWES should start at center, especially early. His mid-range shooting makes him one of the few offensive options on this team . . . Coming off a torn ACL, NERLENS NOEL probably won't be ready until December. He should contribute as a rim protector and rebounder, but will be pushed around and doesn't have much on offense . . . KWAME BROWN is waiting for his contract to be bought out. | | 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 . . . JOEL ANTHONY is a half-step above team mascot. |

*76ers-Heat Preview* ====================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
Philadelphia (18-63) at Miami (54-27), 8:00 p.m. EDT
The Miami Heat resigned themselves to finishing with the second seed in the Eastern Conference. Considering their recent busy schedule and dominance over their likely first-round opponent, that may not have been a bad idea.
Miami closes its regular season Wednesday night against the visiting Philadelphia 76ers.
Having home-court advantage throughout the East playoffs was still in play for the Heat (54-27) entering Monday's trip to Washington. But coach Erik Spoelstra gave LeBron James and Chris Bosh the night off, limited Dwyane Wade to 18 minutes and saw a mostly lackluster rotation get walloped, 114-93.
That gave the No. 1 seed to Indiana, which is just one game ahead of Miami but owns the tiebreaker due to a better conference record.
Wednesday marks the Heat's sixth game in nine days and league-high 27th since the beginning of March. James played 40-plus minutes nine times during that stretch after doing so just 12 times in his first 53 games. Bosh's 79 games played are his most since 2004-05 for Toronto.
"Those guys put in a lot of mileage," Spoelstra said. "Our schedule was fairly extreme down the stretch. I've never been a part of a group that's played that many games in that few of days down the stretch. That's not an excuse, but we want to just make sure our guys are sharp and feeling healthy."
It remains to be seen if Spoelstra will keep James, Bosh or Wade sidelined for Wednesday's contest, which Miami enters having lost four of five. The Heat dropped three of their last four in 2011-12 before winning their first of two straight titles, though they ended last season with eight straight victories.
They'll meet Charlotte in the first round unless Washington loses at Boston on Wednesday and the Bobcats knock off Chicago, in which case they'll match up with the Wizards. Miami has won 16 straight over Charlotte but split four matchups with Washington.
The last time the Heat finished as the East's No. 2 seed was their 2012 championship run.
"When the playoffs start, we have a new season and we will be looking forward to it." said Wade, who scored nine points Monday as he tried to stay in a rhythm after recently missing nine straight games due to a left hamstring injury.
Miami had won 15 straight over the 76ers prior to a 114-110 loss in the season opener at Philadelphia on Oct. 30. The Heat held them to 36.9 percent shooting in a 101-86 road win Jan. 17 in the only other meeting.
The 76ers (18-63), who have lost 16 of 17 away from home, would finish with their third-worst record ever with a win. A loss would see them match the 1995-96 club for the franchise's second-worst mark, though that may be a good omen considering Philadelphia selected Allen Iverson with the top draft pick after that season.
Michael Carter-Williams continued the best campaign by a 76ers rookie since Iverson with 21 points and a season-high 14 rebounds in a 113-108 home win Monday over Boston. He's averaging 18.4 points on 53.0 percent shooting over his last nine contests.
"I think I'm taking better shots and I have more trust in my shot," Carter-Williams said.
He's the franchise's highest-scoring rookie since Iverson averaged 23.5, and his 6.3 assists per game are the second-most by a rookie in team history behind Iverson's 7.5. Carter-Williams is also averaging 6.2 rebounds, the most by a first-year 76er since Clarence Weatherspoon's 7.2 in 1992-93.
The Syracuse product finished with 22 points, 12 assists, nine steals and seven boards in his NBA debut against the Heat.
