Credit to @WindhorstESPN for report on Bosh. Here's what I heard today: came along quickly past 3 days, ready 4 final Spoelstra evaluation.

[Vertical Limit]

Bosh at Center and Udonis at the 4 is how I would do it.

Welcome back Bosh.

[DefenseWins]

Can we stop the slow starts please? We have even done this at home, it's starting to worry me.

Our offense is being exposed and our defense can't stop them.

We keep clawing back but it's hard to do that on the road and win, but we have to win this game or else it's over IMO.

This is new adversity for them so .... if they can overcome this, hopefully they will win.

Wade is disappointing me big time... another slow start, didn't take over when LBJ fouled out..

I expected game 4 to be his break out game, just like the Pacers series. I don't care if he's getting doubled, you're telling me he hasn't been doubled before in his 9 years of playing? It's a 36 year old in the paint. It must be his knee...

Bosh being back is great, but his rustyness will be a factor. When Bosh is bad, he is REALLY bad and never gets it going. But he will provide more offense for us, we need it apparently because we can't defend this team in the 1st half...

atleast we know Boston blows the leads. Who knows, it might cost them (Boston) game 6 if we actually win a game on the road having a double digit deficits.

This would be great if we won the next 2 games. I do not want a game 7.

[DefenseWins]

oh and in game 3 UD did not see a lot of playing time at the end there, he is our next clutch player and whatnot, he does what he can and was GREAT tonight.

But it could have been different if UD actually played more minutes at the end of Game 3. And not having LeBron at Center... which was stupid. We made a run because of Miller and Mario that game, but because it was LBJ at Center.

We lost this game most definitely when LBJ fouled out.

[Vertical Limit]

I don't even recall Udonis playing in the first quarter. I was like what the **** is going on?

I'll say this now, if we give up 30 points again in a single quarter, we're not winning. Seriously, that is pathetic defense, not even trying to get stops.

[Miamis3rdRing]

Edit:

Going down 2-3, losing 3 in a row, and heading back to Boston for Game 6? I'd rather not...

MUST. WIN. GAME.

Hopefully Bosh isn't rusty and he's healed. I have to give him credit for coming back. This isn't one of those injuries that you can just rush back from. Even guys like Kobe, etc that the media always applauds for toughness wouldn't be rushing back with he has.

[DefenseWins]

I think UD is apart of this team big time and he always has been, but I question Spo when he suddenly cuts his play time short, but then plays him massively the next game.

I think UD and Bosh together in the paint at the end of games puts HUGE pressure on Garnett because they both can make jumpers, Bosh can even get KG in foul trouble.

I think we can win the next 2 if Bosh looks good. But LBJ will now get more rest and not have to be on KG.

I know we just lost 2 games in bad fashion, and having stupid double digit deficits and won the one game we came back AT HOME. But if we do this again, we might not get lucky.

What does Shane do to get massive minutes as well? Spo has found another lover lol. And Turiaf has been fine starting, why the **** start Joel who hates starting? Maybe to get a fast start defensively but it obviously didn't work.

just **** win the next 2 games. I saw this coming when the SPurs lost and are 2-2 as well.

edit : if Bosh is back we definitely have to play UD and Bosh together in the front court. That would make Garnett work so damn hard. UD was a warrior on the boards man.

[iboxlefty]

Funny how Bosh is suddenly good to go when the Series is tied


Too annoyed wit this coach and team to even care sometimes. The offficiating, the cockiness of the celtics, the bs Wade continues to do on the court....

Will just see how it goes, oh well

[narmerguy]

Wade's really underperformed this playoffs. It's be real disappointing. Just a down season in general for him actually.

It is necessary that we demoralize these guys next game, whether it'd be by a combination of fast break points/roleplayers playing well+foul trouble/reffing, we need to do it. Take away any and all momentum early.

Also, can we take a page out of Indiana's book and start the "he's a flopper" chant when Pierce or Rondo are at the line?

[HIF]

I hope the Miami crowd give the Heat as much of an advantage (with the reffing) as the Boston crowd does.

Time to MAN UP Miami crowd.

[TRG]

Wade is due for a breakout game in this series.

[Chosen01]

Wade is due for a breakout game in this series.

This, I can see game 5 being similar to how game in Indy was where they completely dominated. This time Bosh will be back and they can get involved early to get him going.

The thing is, I bet if Heat won then i doubt they'd bring Bosh back this series.Although he'd get more time to rehab he needs at least 1-2 games to shake off the rust before the finals where Heat don't have HCA, I mean if they're worried about him re-aggravating the injury well he sadly he can easily re-aggravate it any time from now until the finals are over. Just gotta keep your fingers crossed.

[Moggs24]

I just hope the team is as angry as I am after last nights loss. If they don't come out and take it to them I would be shocked. Every game when we turn up our D they can't score, why we don't come out with the intensity in the first half is beyond me.

And the refs. All I want is the game to be called fairly. Everyone always talks about us getting superstar calls and it just doesn't happen.

And rondo. Someone has to flatten this guy. He is the most arrogant player in the NBA. Time and time again we let he get uncontested layups at the hoop. Someone has to hit him and hit him hard. He called out our players at half, tried to kick battier, and is just an all around punk. Please waste a flagrant on him.

[MiaFLSurf]

How about we actually play with a **** LEAD for once in the 1st quarter.

This team loves to dig itself **** holes and it really sets an awful tone.

And how about we make some **** FREE THROWS.

You know, those shots you make after fouls that would have WON US GAME 4, AND MAYBE GAME 3 IF WE DECIDED TO MAKE THEM

[cb1]

The biggest adjustment is to play with a sense of urgency for all 4 QUATERS!!!!! NOT 1, NOT 2, NOT 3, BUT 4 QUATERS. We've shown this series that when we turn on the defense, they can't score.

[HIF]

If bosh isn't in let's go and start with small ball and get players running up and down the court. Effort that might turn into a lead.
