Only 6 players on the Heat played more than 10 minutes in this game.

Does anyone think that the Heat can win this series using virtually a 6 man rotation?

Nope. Lebron is gonna run outta gas by Game 3 if they keep doing that.

Spoelstra just said "he might go deeper" on the rotation in game 2. Is he really that dumb? No way they win this series going with a 6 man rotation.

Remember that they don't have a deep roster anyway.

Yea, I don't understand that decision.

I think it was Windhorst who tweeted that the entire team was just completely gassed in the 4th, which isn't the first time.

I forgot what game it was against the Celtics where all the buzzards on here were going nuts because Lebron spent 2 straight possessions in the corner and never moved.

It's not like he is sitting high caliber talent on the bench. The Heat today are the same team they were in the regular season. They have no bench. That is why most thought they would lose to the celtics and maybe even the sixers once Bosh went down. But Lebron is a beast and carried them. OKC is just a matchup nightmare for the heat. There only shot is for Lebron to take either Westbrook or Durant for meaningful minutes. Lebron has to avoid foul trouble though. Not sure if he can...

True. But playing Lebron 46+ minutes and Wade 42+ will just kill the HEat in the 4th quarters of games. We'll be able to crank up the MSB choke posts for sure.

Well, he did that last night. Battier had some time on Durant. But after Westbrook's big 3rd quarter, the Heat put Lebron on Westbrook to start the 4th. Westbrook cools off, but now Lebron can't guard both guys and Durant goes off.

Lebron cannot stop westbrook off the dribble and cannot defend durant's jumper...


But he prolly could minimize westbrook's jumper and Durant putting the ball on the floor...

May be worth it, but pick your poison

Sure, no one can stop it.

But Lebron can do a better job or as good as pretty much any player in the NBA.

The problem last night was never consistently the guy Lebron was guarding. It was always the other guy, especially in the 3rd and 4th quarters.

As a Heat fan, I am not a big fan of Spoelstra. No reason they should have lost that game last night. We were up big in the first half, there is no reason we shouldn't have been subbing and keeping the stars fresh. The heat at the end of games end up settling for tough well defended jump shots so often, that you know we would have been better off doing some subbing. James has been awesome in these playoffs, but that is the one thing he does that drives me crazy.
