well, apart from whether or not this is a "must win" game

i certainly don't think it's reasonable to expect an easy win. even supposing the pistons bring their "first 40 minutes of game 2" personalities, the heat aren't going to roll over, not at home. they've just as much of an interest in winning this game as we have, obviously, not wanting to face a best of three without home court against a team that (assuming we will have) is regaining its rhythm.

i'm terrible at predicting scores, but i'd say we ought to get into the upper 80s or better yet low mid 90s for the win, and they'll be mid 80s to 90...geez that was noncommittal!!
