spoelstra is employing the mike brown offence, a completely worthless coach that rides on lebron.

It is a different offense than the Heat trotted out during their streak because Wade isn't the same post injury. He says he only has quarters right now until he can get his knee fixed so we'll see if he was saving up for a big second half. Without a legit second one one one scorer Lebron and Spo have to go the Cavs route. It isn't close to ideal but this is where we are.

If Lebron is going to get run down chasing Parker around on defense it would be wise to run more offense off of the hot Chalmers, get Wade attacking and running Allen around. Park Lebron on the right wing for rest. He shoots 54% from three on that side. Lebron will need his energy for the fourth.

spoelstras like we're at home, why are you calling those fouls?

Already nearly as many fouls called as all of game one. Refs are calling it tighter tonight but not for shooting fouls.

Is Bosh really a hall of famer?

I agree... he seems pretty average to me.

Not that great...

Ginobili...turnover and foul.

 

[UncleWai]

Bosh is completely misused. he sucks at high screen pick and roll. why not just have him post up, then have bron set a screen to free up allen or miller.

 

[007ELmO]

Ginobili...turnover and foul.

and bench. xD

Ginobili...turnover and foul.

and completely killed any momentum that SA had.

Yeah, lining him up at the 3pt line, I have no idea. I know it was to pull Hibbert out, but jesus that's all bosh did.

Lebron james is a great player, but man, offensively - scoring - he is nowhere near kobe or michael. I used to think he could average 40-50 a game if he really wanted, but I can't see it right now. He passes so much, does he realize he needs an on/off switch when he wants to take over, and it has to work?

 

[007ELmO]

lol leonard totally shoulder bashed allen (lucky bastard)! so much foul trouble on the heat right now.

 

[007ELmO]

Duncan, BEAST MODE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dbk]

wow Timmeh!!!!!!! Nobody can guard him!

 

[vi edit]

I kinda feel bad for SA. In a year or two they are going to be looking at what Chicago fans faced after the Jordan era. Duncan, Ginobili and Parker(maybe a bit longer for Parker) will be gone. Pops will eventually cash in his chips and retire. And then a wake of desolation for years trying to figure out a way to rebuild what you were used to.

This core of players and coach has been something quite special.

It took Chicago almost 20 years to recover and be relevant in the east again.

 

[007ELmO]

Feel bad? Did you forget how many championships they have?

BTW green, neal, these guys can rebuild the team quickly. Maybe not championship pedigree.

live in the present, not the future. Heat: not one, not two, not three, not fo...not even two.

neal misses a shot and battier cans a 3...not good.

 

[Slew Foot]

oh hellsyeah

 

[child of wonder]

 

[007ELmO]

bron bron crying, parker scores.

 

[007ELmO]

wade crying, neal scores. wow this heat team. how the hell is anyone fans of these chumps?

waiting for a spoelstra technical any second now.

 

[dbk]

Wow that's just embarrassing.. this is the deciding game!! wake up LBJ and Wade!

 

[007ELmO]

rofl at allen, such a cheap shot. he scissor kicked earlier in the game too, punk. this game.

 

[007ELmO]

wade and lebron are used to crying at the other end of the court, with their team getting a stop and passing to them for an easy transition dunk. except san antonio is scoring, back firing.

 

[abaez]

What happened to Lebron's triple double?

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Heat kinda screwed by the refs. Still gotta suck it up and make it back to the other side of the court in the friggin Finals. What a disgrace to basketball.. the heat that is.

 

[edro]

Miami has no urgency and are crying like babies when they try to drive into 3 defenders in the paint and don't get a call.
WTF is your deal? This is an elimination game; act like it.

Pop's plan to stuff up the paint and make them take jumpers is working perfectly.
