The second half is going to be gooooooooooooooood.

I love that the team does not seem intimidated by the heat, and kept fighting.

Time to take control of this game, lets hit em hard in the 3rd.

If that's the case, can we let him play the first 6 minutes, let Doo-hon handle the next 6, then throw Nelson back out there for the entire 2Q?

It's odd that we play Doo-hon ~18 MPG and limit Nelson to ~30 MPG when he's clearly capable of playing ~36 MPG.

The problem is nelson is pretty injury prone so by limiting his minutes you run less of a risk of him getting tired and tweaking something or getting hit also he stays fresher for all these back to backs

It's no coincidence that Q is +7. With him on the floor our defense is a ton better and he's knocking down open looks. Can't really ask for more out of your SF.

I love Chris Bosh.. I will always make fun of him as long as he's not a Magician.. but ya, I'd love to have him on my team

Gotta come out with a good start to the 3rd quarter.

We can't let Miami build a double-digit lead again.

Point taken.

You know, I could understand that logic on B2Bs and against lesser opponents, but in big games you'd think you'd roll the dice and push him to ~36 MPG. These games against Miami, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, OKC, San Antonio, etc...they're very important on many different levels. Not that the regular season holds much weight in the playoffs, but if we could have pulled out some of those close games we blew I think we'd be in serious contention for the #1 seed.

I know our arena isn't always great, but I don't know how it can look like the arena is only half full in what should be a pretty big game with four all stars and three of the top five players in the league.

Lebron headbands keep getting thicker and thicker.

They never gave us the third point on Nelson's three.

And wtf is JRich doing?!
