I am surprised that the Miami Heat wasn't able to contain the Washington Wizards I mean it is still a must win game for the Heat since they are positioning for the top spot in the Eastern Conference, it is a costly loss for sure. I wanted them to reach a higher standing than oklahoma city thunders so that they will be able to take advantage of 4 homecourt games. What do you guys think?

I think they just used the game to rest their superstars. This is also a game to exercise their bench players as they will surely need to play out coming into the playoffs. But still, their bench wasn't able to contain the lowly wizards. That makes sense because their bench is really not that great. They should look more closely on this one. But I am with their coach. With the condensed season, it is better to rest your best players and avoid possible injuries coming into the playoffs.

Agree, Heat is already in the playoffs so the big three are getting some rest before the hard-cord games coming ahead.

I think it wouldn't be a surprise if the Wizards beat the Heat because James and Bosh were not playing. Wade was supposed to play on this game but sadly, few minutes on the first quarter, he got injured. The coach didn't even let James play although he already has a suit on and is getting warmed up. Looking at the playoffs matchup, it would be better if the Heat will stay No. 2 in the East.

Just in case you didn't notice, the Heat rested their regulars as they've pretty much locked up the number two slot and have given up chasing after the top seed in the East. It could work for them as they would be having an inexperienced Pacers team in the 2nd round instead of let's say, the resurgent Boston Celtics.

i can't believe it as well but they also beat the bulls this week as well(wizards) but the heat didn't play bosh or lebron and wade got hurt in the first so that's why they lost
