Game Thread: Miami Heat vs Brooklyn Nets

[BOTSLAYER]

Anybody seen the Heat fans?

I was a sad panda having to celebrate Mothers day last night...then I saw what I missed #lonegrangering*





*Lonegrangering is the act of dodging an entire sport and every thing associated with it when your team kind of struggles...to truly qualify you should have been dodging for at least a month.

Miami needed that loss. They needed to be challenged a bit.


They played a bad Charlotte team that was frankly the worst team in the playoffs once its only star player went down with injury.. It is a franchise who has never won a playoff game in its entire history.


Then they played 2 home games versus a 44 win team.


I think they need a long series. It will make them more formidable in the next rounds.
You need to be challenged sometimes before the conference finals.


The 2009 Cavs and 2012 Spurs come to mind for teams that fell into complacency.

Great result. We have the heat right where we want them!

You want to be down 2-1? Nice to know

Could agree more, Horns.

Same thing happened to the Spurs in round 1. The Spurs got kicked in the teeth and since Game 7 they've been ridiculously good. There was no way the Nets with the by far the highest pay roll were going to get swept.

THE HEAT WILL WIN GAME 4

THE HEAT WILL REBOUND IN GAME 4--GAME 3 WAS A MUST WIN FOR BROOKLYN. AND THEY DESERVED TO WIN THAT GAME--THE HEAT LOOKED VERY TIRED IN THAT GAME 3.WORD

The Nets were 15-25 from 3. End of story.

That was just the 5th time in NBA playoff history that a team took that many 3's and made 60+% of them. (Just the 2nd time in the last 12 seasons)
All 5 teams won, of course, and by an average of 20.2 ppg.

Go Brooklyn winning tonight.

 

[piss-tons]

Have a feeling Lebron explodes today. Impossible to stop him but gotta make him work.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

piss-tons called it...feelin pretty good about my 50eu on the Heat

5 point deficit heading into the 2nd. Need to make a run when Lebron sits the bench. Hopefully the hot 3 point shooting from last game continues today.

I'm sorry but that's bullshit. You don't "need a loss". The 01 Lakers (15-1, first loss in the Finals) and the Fo-Fo-Fo Sixers (yeah, they lost 1 game in the CFs, who cares) are two shining examples. You don't need a loss. That's just after the fact justifications.

 

[piss-tons]

Stupid foul by D-Will...

 

[BOTSLAYER]

 

[BOTSLAYER]

LBJ having an ok night with 22 on 8-12 2 reb 1 ast but Wade 5-7 and Bosh 2-2 being aggressive on D are what we should be loving. Also Rio with 6 ast...probably should be up by more.

Lebron is way too comfortable driving into the paint and posting up. Next time he gets into the paint some one needs to lay him out.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Brooklyn just gives them problems.
