A must win basically. Establish Bosh early man, it's like he isn't even in the game. I thought this would be our advantage since he didn't play last year with his injury.

Atleast Ray and Shane (sort of) are hitting 3's... I expect more later.

LEBRON IN THE POST MORE... simple as that

WE GOT THIS

[Heat_Fan_87]

Please don't suck

[TRG]

WAKE THE **** UP DWYANE WADE AND CHRIS BOSH.

THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BIG 3 HEAT NOT THE MIAMI CAVALIERS.

[Buju]

They'll win, this always happens twice every post-season.

Last season was against this team and boston.

Just one of those things.

[Vertical Limit]

Wade and Spoelstra, please don't suck.

[KDS91]

Let's not suck.

I bet LeBron will continue to settle for jumpers instead of attacking the paint and getting Hibbert out of the game. The strategy for game 5 is very simple, but Miami will once again making things harder than they need to be. Spo needs to play Bosh in the post more and make him attack more aggressively. LeBron and Wade shouldn't even settle for a jumpshot in that game. They should just put their heads down and attack the rim or draw the defenders in to find an open teammate. There's nothing to be ashamed of getting your shot blocked by a 7'2' center, but it seems like LeBron is afraid of getting embarrassed by Hibbert. LeBron knows what he has to do, but for whatever reasons, he doesn't want to do it. How else are they supposed to make Hibbert irrelevant in this series?

[Vertical Limit]

Hibbert isn't going to get in foul trouble it doesn't matter what he does to Lebron. The referees have basically said Roy is the best player on the court this series, he's going to get the superstar calls.

[Run DLC]

I might do something i'll regret if Hibbert gets just one personal foul in game 5.

[cb1]

Just to show you how biased the nba can be. I predict that we get a boatload of calls and the GB goes crazy with threads.

[Lord Hades]

Just win.

Game 2 we got a lead and settled for 3s. Lebron said oh we got a chance there to go up with a 3 but Bosh missed. Well that should have taught you something. Nah you go try the same ish. Up. Pass to Bosh for a 3, game goes down hill there. Stop trying to jack 3s to win games you can just get 2 points. Drive the ball get a layup do something. Lebron played much smarter last year than this one. So did everyone including Bosh. It's the mental mistakes man. Not even crashing g the boards it's the playoffs. Bosh is the first one to talk about what we don't do then he doesn't do shid

Hibbert isn't going to get in foul trouble it doesn't matter what he does to Lebron. The referees have basically said Roy is the best player on the court this series, he's going to get the superstar calls.

I have accepted the fact that he's going to ever every 50-50 calls home or away and never gonna get in foul trouble home or away.

[KevKP]

How come we dont have any updates on Lebron and Bosh ankle sprains. I want to know how serious or not serious they are.

[Tony15]

I've completely soured on the NBA. I'll root openly for my favorite professional sports team, but it pains me to watch them not get a fair shot at the end of games. I honestly thought this was Heat vs. Pacers, not the Heat vs the Pacers & the three zebras.

[OtW]

Attack when you are down.

Attack when you are tied.

And especially ATTACK WHEN YOU HAVE THE LEAD. DON'T SETTLE FOR THE THREE FFS. IT IS NOT WORKING THIS SERIES.

Wade and LeBron. PARK YO ASSES IN THE POST.

[MiaFLSurf]

Ill watch the game.

And Ill bitch and moan and get upset, like I always do.

But I just dont see it happening.

Sorry, I just dont.

Hope Im wrong.

[LBJ-ITALY]

When you get outrebounded almost by 20 reb', you will ,certainly, lose the game and when your center is averaging 3.7 reb'/36 min' while a 38 year old small guard Ray Allen is averaging 5.2 reb/36 min', this tell you that someone is soft and playing like a vagina!
