|
| |  | BROOKLYN: GUARDS: DERON WILLIAMS is healthy and got a much-improved supporting cast to work with. He could re-enter the NBA's best point guard discussion . . . JOE JOHNSON won't have the ballin his hands as much as he used to in Atlanta. It might give him a chance to concentrate on regaining his stroke as one of the NBA's best shooters . . . MARSHON BROOKS will look to settle in as a high-scoring sixth man. He'll be trade bait for most of the season . . . After a disastrous year in Chicago, C.J. WATSON will be asked to spell Williams for a few minutes a night . . . KEITH BOGANS is still kicking around as a second unit glue guy . . . TYSHAWN TAYLOR is an at-times out-of-control combo guard, but the rookie could threaten Watson's role at some point. FORWARDS: KRIS HUMPHRIES' contract was structured to make him easier to trade. He'll rebound and get his put-backs, and the Nets will likely showcase him a bit . . . GERALD WALLACE is slowing down, and now that he's signed his last big NBA contract he might not have much incentive to live up to his 'Crash' nickname. Brooklyn has no choice but to give him heavy minutes considering their investment . . . MIRZA TELETOVIC is a veteran stretch four. Consider him a penniless man's Channing Frye . . . TORNIKE SHENGELIA played himself into a roster spot this summer. He's a mediocre athlete, but a cagey scorer with a high basketball IQ . . . JOSH CHILDRESS and JERRY STACKHOUSE were added in September for depth . . . REGGIE EVANS will flop unconvincingly, punch opponents in the jewels and bring other 'tough guy' intangibles. CENTERS: BROOK LOPEZ had been remarkably durable before last year's foot injury, and he should be fully healed by the start of training camp. He's gifted offensively, but will continue to grab relatively few rebounds and generally get fried defensively. He's also a candidate to be traded midseason if another franchise can stomach his max contract . . . As insurance, former Wizards big man ANDRAY BLATCHE was brought in. He could be the team's best interior defender, able to play either the four or five spot. | | MIAMI: GUARDS: The regular season goal for DWYANE WADE is to just stay healthy. Even following knee surgery, he's still good enough to pile up numbers, but the minutes won't be there in the regular season . . . That's why the Heat brought in RAY ALLEN. He and Wade will share the floor at times, but Allen should primarily play off the bench. His role will be to knock down the wide-open threes Wade and LeBron James create . . . After all the big plays he made in the postseason, MARIO CHALMERS is entrenched as the starting point guard, despite being plagued by a bad hammy in the preseason . . . Super-quick NORRIS COLE looks like he'll become one of the NBA's better backup point guards . . . If he doesn't retire, the absurdly brittle MIKE MILLER will see limited regular-season minutes . . . TERREL HARRIS will likely make the team because he's willing to play defense. FORWARDS: While another title is their No. 1 priority, LeBRON JAMES has shown no need to rest during the regular season. He'll play full-time minutes and be in the thick of the MVP race . . . CHRIS BOSH remains integral to the offense with his ability to pull opposing bigs away from the basket. His stats don't reflect his actual value . . . SHANE BATTIER will continue to be a defensive specialist whose offensive role is limited to shooting open threes . . . UDONIS HASLEM is another guy who will get held back in the regular season. He should lead their low-post rotation . . . RASHARD LEWIS' knee problems have robbed him of athleticism . . . But Lewis should beat out fellow shooter JAMES JONES for a rotation spot . . . JARVIS VARNADO is a shot-blocking force with little to no offensive game. CENTERS: JOEL ANTHONY will continue to tag-team with Haslem in the middle. Anthony is an absolute negative on the offensive end, but he brings more size and shot-blocking than Haslem . . . DEXTER PITTMAN will be battling for a roster spot. Sexy Dexy has shown no signs of being an NBA-caliber player so far in his career . . . MICKELL GLADNESS is a better alternative than Pittman on both ends of the floor. |

*Nets-Heat Preview* ===================
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer
Brooklyn (10-4) at Miami (11-3), 7:30 p.m. EDT
Fourth-quarter comebacks are becoming routine for the Miami Heat thanks in large part to Ray Allen.
They don't tend to worry about that against the Brooklyn Nets, but that may change.
Allen and the Heat will try to make things easier on themselves Saturday night when they go for a 12th straight win over the Nets, one of the league's hottest teams.
Miami (11-3) owns the best record in the Eastern Conference, but six of those victories have needed four-quarter rallies - and Allen has been instrumental in three.
The latest dramatic ending came Thursday in Miami's 105-100 win that will be remembered more for who was not playing for San Antonio, which sent four starters home before the game to rest due to its congested schedule.
Despite facing a team full of reserves, Allen delivered again - scoring 11 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter, including a 3-pointer with 22.6 seconds left to give the Heat the lead for good.
"It is nothing that we work on," said Allen, who averages 13.4 points after signing with Miami as a free agent from Boston. "It is just playing the game of basketball down the stretch."
The Heat have needed to rally in the final period to win the first three of this four-game homestand, improving to 7-0 at home.
"You can't take that for granted and that's not understated," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Your late-game execution on both ends of the court really matters against quality opponents because you're always going to be dealing with close games. And when you don't build that confidence, that's a tough thing to capture."
Allen's clutch efforts are certainly building Miami's late-game confidence. He's connected on 11 of 22 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, including 5 of 8 in the final three minutes. That includes hitting 3-pointers in the waning seconds for victories over Denver and Cleveland.
The 10-time All-Star guard is also thriving at home, averaging 17.1 points while hitting 59.4 percent of his shots from beyond the arc.
His late-game heroics weren't needed versus Brooklyn (11-4) on Nov. 7, when the Heat won 103-73 at home for their most lopsided win of the season.
Miami has won 11 in a row against the Nets and seven straight at home while holding them to 85.1 points per game and 40.0 percent from the field.
LeBron James is averaging 28.6 points over his last 18 meetings with Brooklyn. He nearly got a triple-double Nov. 7, totaling 20 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists in just 30 minutes.
Brooklyn, however, is 10-2 since that loss and enters this meeting on a season high-tying five-game winning streak, during which it's allowing an average of 83.8 points and 26.0 percent shooting from long range.
The Nets kept their streak going Friday, beating Orlando 98-86 in their first game without center and leading scorer Brook Lopez, who will miss this game with a mild right foot sprain. He is averaging 18.5 points and 6.8 rebounds.
Since their main inside presence is unavailable, the Nets may again try to rely on strong perimeter play. They've made 21 of 44 3-pointers over the last two games, with Gerald Wallace converting 5 of 6 for a season-high 20 points against the Magic.
The forward has made 5 of 9 attempts from beyond the arc while averaging 19.7 points over his last three meetings with Miami, but a sprained left ankle forced him to miss last month's matchup.
Joe Johnson was held to nine points on 4 of 14 shooting in that meeting, but he scored 22 Friday.
