only good thing we get out of this if we lose this series is Spo is gonna be fired... but who knows.. this whole "loyalty sh*t Pat Riley could keep him.

And that would only be a good thing if we get someone better in his place and it improves the team as an organisation.

Of course if we lose this series perhaps Pat resigns. Isiah Thomas or an equivalent calibre GM takes over. Spo gets fired. Wade gets traded. Bron and bosh put in for trades and we get a few picks back and we become a non-playoff team for the next 10 years.

Wade ain't going anywhere. and I dont want Spo to get fired, cuz that would mean we win a championship this year. If we dont win, he gets fired.

I'm only making a prediction here.

[HIF]

Spo and his philosophy is as integral to this team as the big 3 unless we can get a real Center and then be able to change the whole defensive set-up. I can't see us winning next season if we fire Spo and then another year of Wade's time is wasted.

This isn't about the coach or Wade having a good or bad night... its very simple... its time for THIS Lebron to show up for Game 4.

Just win.

Players that need to avoid shooting the ball at all costs;

1) Udonis Haslem (played 7 minutes last night)-has already begun
2) Shane Battier (his shot does not scream it's going in!)
3) Juwan Howard (when he plays, the scorer's mentality is 100% on display for someone who does't have it)
4) Norris Cole (I want him to succeed but his confidence in his stroke & running game isn't there + relies way too heavily on passing to Juwan Howard all the time WHICH IS AN INDICATION THAT THIS ROOKIE IS NOT ACTIVELY PRACTICING WITH THE STARTERS- Howard is his workout partner.)

Players that need to avoid passing up shots at all costs;

1) Mike Miller (you can shoot us back into the series if you put your mind to scoring)
2) James Jones (you can shoot us back into the series if you put your mind to scoring)
3) Ronny Turiaf (2-3 8 reb 17 min you can produce if the play makers find you)
4) Dexter Pittman (become more vocal. Call for the ball. Foul hard. U only got 3 min. but should get more next game after the broadcasters questioned Spo getting lost in the moment & forgetting him.)

Wade can't do what he's accustomed to because of the Indiana defense & their size. He's gonna have to score more off the ball but when he doesn't get the ball in those situations he becomes discouraged easily as was seen last night.

Lebron's tiredness is wearing on him and last night reminded me of his Cleveland postseason days.

The sooner coach realizes that Haslem (when u look at replays, Turiaf is clearly more active on both ends especially jumping) & Battier on offense are both detriments the sooner we might see more of Pittman, Turiaf, Jones & some Harris.

Uhhhh....how bout they both have good games....?

[radikalBaller]

The game will be won on the glass and the hustle plays...Turiaf is one of your best rebounders and hustle players. Play BIG !!!

[Sc0pe92]

Wow man waking up this morning and thinking about last night....damn what a horrible game. lets have a clean fresh mindset going into game 4 thank god we are not down 3-0 but this next game is a must win tie this series up and come back home. Come one Wade I need you right now. We all need you to step up like you always do in the playoffs. LETS GO HEAT! DONT LET GO OF TEH ROPE!

Interesting choice of words.

If our existence depends upon Ronny then we really are finished.

Our existence depends upon Wade re-finding his form and Mike Miller hitting his shot.

If those things happen we can live with being out-rebounded.

[Moggs24]

I thought it was very clear last night we were simply out manned. They have a lot more scoring options and we have a ton of trouble getting rebounds with our limited size. Lebron and Wade have to understand that from beginning to end they have to dominate every minute of the game. Lebron did a great job of this in the first half last night, but his second half was embarrassing. At this point it's very simple, game 4 is our season what are they gonna do about it.

Ok, keep on depending solely on Wade and James, especially now that Dwyane is in biatch mode and keep on underplaying one your best rebounder and energy guy who also happen to be your 2nd biggest player non counting the useless curry. Hibbert is drooling each time he sees Joel or UD on him.

Check the stats all around, you will see that rebounding is one of the most deciding factor in winning basketball games, specially in the PO.

Turiaf isn't big - he's a career back-up.

If Wade can't re-find his (health) form then we are finished. Ronny doesn't make any difference and you're a joke if you think he's more important than Wade.

If Wade scores 10 of 13 instead of 3 of 13 there are at least 10 less rebounds to go round (and probably 12 -15 considering the tap ball Ronny has to play). Rebounding is important but it is negated by 2 stars putting the ball in the basket.
