I haven't posted an NBA game in 3 months! The time has come for a winner: Heat @ Bucks BIG WRITE-UP!

Ok onto some more updated capping of this game:

OJ Mayo and Jared Dudley are giving interviews during practice on the team's website. Does this mean they will play? I can't find out through twitter or the net for the life of me but it certainly points towards them getting some minutes.

And if they do, this will be a BIG bonus for a bench that has been severely underproducing (and a bench that Kidd called out as 'giving them basically nothing' last game which is a good public quote for a kick in the pants to step up).

Now, if I want to REALLY grasp for straws, it was Kidd's birthday yesterday.

At a bare minimum this can bring a 'win one for the coach vibe' (he is a player's coach like Rex and players respond to that) to the team AND

the Bucks ran a JKidd birthday promotion for a free tickets to tonight's game.

Therefore, there may be a bigger turnout than for a typical Tuesday night crowd which is usually sparse to support a Bucks team that desperately needs it.

Is this integral to the cap of the OP? OJ and Jared ARE so if you see them in the game, that is a VERY good thing (I have confirmed nothing but signs point to some minutes for one or both).

As far as J Kidd's birthday, that is just turning over EVERY MOFLOCKIN nook and cranny to bring good vibes to a team that desperately needs it!
