No frills gamethread. Go Heat.

Same intensity! Bench needs to step up again/Bosh & Wade should produce what they did yesterday (Hopefully Wade is alright as well)

James was great late, but still needs to find his niche this series to attacking a lot quicker. (I was fine by today because the team was fab)


Oh and this Rio guy is fearless.

And please block out the 3 point shooters - we gave them A WHOLE bunch of open looks/space in the first.

[dreamchaser]

I think we win this game. We've been so clutch on winning Game 3 when a series is tied 1-1...

[Heat_Fan_87]

Please don't suck

3 Keys;

1. LeBron must be our leaders, without LeBron we stand no chance.
2. D-Fense....Defend the 3pt line, Defensive rebound & stay active
3. Turnovers... When we create turnovers, we are unbeatable. This key has alot to do with energy.

Win 2/3 in SA, bring home trophy in 6.

Big opportunity. But remember we won game 3 in Dallas and lost that series. We're the only team to ever win game three after being tied 1-1, and lose the series. So while I think the game is huge--the bigger picture is we would like to win at least 2 of the games in san antonio. It doesn't matter which. Then we'd have two shots to finish it at home.

I feel like we play better on the road. Especially Lebron. So I actually feel more confident going on the road. If Lebron has a bounce back game and what we saw from Bosh and/or Wade wasn't a mirage--AND we get something from Miller or Ray or Rio in game 3--should be a good result.

Either way, excited to see it. This team is crazy.

The good thing is..

Wade and Bosh got some good rest.

I would like to Wade/LeBron run the pick and roll as well. If LeBron can establish himself in the post some early in the game, get Leonard into foul trouble, force Danny Green to guard him....We'll own them imo.

Get Leonard off the floor. Tire out Danny Green. Shooters make shots....we win.

I didn't ask them to not suck in game 1, we lost. I remembered in game 2, we won.

Let's not suck.

[Laazard]

I like when we win by threes but i would like to win this game by outrebouding Spurs. And we are capable of doing so. Plus, we have to defend well and good things will happen.

Yeah, let us not suck

[LBJ-ITALY]

I'm fine with Duncan. Parker and Ginobile to beat us ma I would be very pissed to be beaten by an average players like Green and Leonard! how the **** Leonard had like 15rebounds with 7 offensive rebounds? how come we leave Green every time wide-open in the first 3 quarters?!
We are going to play in their home and their outside shooters will be very hot, so that will be the key of the next 3games!
This team goes where Lebron goes! if he play well, the whole team plays well and goes after him! he is our leader and our offensive must run through him early in the first quarter!
we can't afford a passive Lebron in their home!

[JesusHCoxMd]

We could have easily taken game 1 if we played 70% effort of this game. But hey let's grab 2 on the road at very least.

[BIRDMAN BIRDMAN]

Yes, we need to steal 2 of the next 3. But either way, let's take it step by step. I want this W!

[Tony15]

Have to play a more consistent game these next 3 games if we hope to even win one in SA....

[MiaFLSurf]

Spurs in 5.

Come out more blazing. JUST WIN AND LET'S NOT SUCK

[SWadeUP]

We are a great road team. We can take 2 out of 3.

Lebron looks so un fased by the critics. He's talking with so much confidence these days. Makes me have that "I aint got no worries" feeling.

This. Bron's swagger is on a hundred thousand trillion right now. He doesn't just think he's the best player in the game...he knows it now. It's like many predicted. That first ring got the monkey off his back. Now he's like a lion uncaged. PEACE.

[Altered_Beast]

wade needs to keep on with how he started last game. he was great when posting up and making those little hooks and floaters. his jumper is off but close to the basket hes doing good work. we really didnt need him in the second half so hopefully he got enough rest cause i doubt are shooters are gonna be scorching again from 3.

lebron again was fantastic. it was an off game for him offensively but he did everything right. found open shooters, drove to the basket and took his midrange j when they gave it to him. thats the difference between 2011 and 2013 lebron. now he is not scared to put up that jumper. also that block was incredible

our frontline was great defensively (haslem/bosh/bird). gotta show more composure on the boards though. we lost like 3 rebounds that went out of bounds for no reason. cannot give san antonio extra possessions.

heat by 7. parker and duncan gonna play better at home and i doubt danny green shoots like he did in game 2. but at the end of the day i think our athleticism is just too much

[fast-break]

Spurs in 5.

lol...OK
