The Heat should be up 2-0. Has that been discussed?

Well they let a bunch of old men beat them in the heat. But somehow the 30 something's nearing retirement had an advantage in the heat over the 20 something's.

They were winning when Bron left the game in Game 1

Danny Green was 0-5 at that point

Leonard had 3 points at that point

They break lose as soon as Bron sits down. Coincidence? I think not.

Age has nothing to do with cramping. None of the other 30 or 20 year olds on the Heat cramped except Lebron.

And by the way, the Spurs are younger than the Heat.

Not surprising. If the list were to continue, would MJ be on it at any point?

Yeah LeBron just lacks stamina. Everyone else on the court could hang but him.

I'm for the Heat and said I was before the finals started but the guy has some weaknesses, its okay we're all human.

His cramping issue is hereditary. Do you know anything about cramps?

One thing to keep in mind, the spurs have played 4 more games in the playoffs than Miami, that could be a factor late in this series.

No one said this

They did lead the NBA at 40%, so it's not like the Sixers are out there draining 48%.

The Spurs can beat you with more guys which is why they won the most games in the league. There's a greater chance to get an unexpected performance from a role player because they play more guys. They didn't shoot the ball well tonight, Miami got a huge game from Lebron, and it was still a game that could have gone either way. They should feel good about how they've matched up so far


They shot 46% from 3 tonight and like 50% the game before.

I think one could argue the Spurs play isn't sustainable and the Heat still have much to improve.

People try to use the turnovers in the first game as a case for SA but the Heat had a shite ton of un characteristic turnovers as well.


The Heat definitely haven't played their A game yet.

Lebron has been on his A game for sure, but not the rest of the team. He was on his way to a 30+ pt night during the 1st game before the cramps.

Lewis's contributions are surprising and wont last, but neither will the role players drought


As of right now, the Spurs are on fire from 3 and our playing great ball but have sloppy periods. While the heat's role players aren't doing shite and Lebron has been carrying the load the past 2 games while the rest of the team has been pretty cold. The Heat have much more room for improvement than the Spurs do if you ask me.

They're the best 3pt shooting team in the league and had a ton of open looks. Is a 6% increase really that crazy to fathom?

You could argue it, but again, what is truly sticking out as an aberration? Their ridiculously hot six minute stretch in game 1 is what's slightly skewing the stats; the rest is status quo Spurs basketball. They score a lot of points and make a lot of threes. That's not new.

quote:

They're playing close to it. Theoretically their A game would be a 130-70 blowout where everyone contributes, but that's not happening. They shot 53% tonight and held the Spurs to 44%. Lebron had one of his best games in his postseason career, and the big 3 all shot 50% or higher from the field. They had a great game defensively. How much better do you expect this team to play? They have a declining #2 in Wade, a jump shooting #3 in Bosh and are relying on old arse Rashard Lewis and Ray Allen as their fourth scoring option. You're overestimating this team's REALISTIC ceiling.
