2014 NBA Playoffs Semi-Finals: MIA (2) vs BKN (6)

[hodgy#11]

All jokes aside...I still think Brooklyn takes two from Miami.

No way, no how..

Brooklyn have a fickle home supporter base as it is, and they're playing straight in to Miami's style of ball.

Heat will get this wrapped up in 4 and sit waiting for Wiz/Pacers to slog it out over 7

lebron useless in the 4th. is ray allen the true mvp?

Lol trolling them hard. Did you know trolling is associated sociopathic personalities? I do it all the time so that scares me!

It always starts by playing devil's advocate... then once you start eliciting malicious responses it becomes addicting... then it just becomes trolling. That being said, I wouldn't say negative things about King James merely for the sake of provoking others. Why would I ever say anything falsely negative about a player who exemplifies the pinnacle of human evolution?

Mavs dodged a hell of a bullet not offering Deron that max

y'all saw how lebron wasnt clapping as wade hit a jumpshot?

he is absolutely leaving miami

Its the opposite, its expected from lebron

Thats respect for your brother and big time players. You clap when Beasley makes a play. Thats the difference.

Surprised everyone is so convinced about that performance by the Heat. That missed chippie by Garnett would have made it a 3 point game, instead he misses and Ray hits a 3 and it's 8 points. That and the lucky 2 minute offensive rebounding possession were the difference. This game was way closer than some of these comments suggest.

After the fact you can make a debate for anything.

4 shots on a single trip down the court. The Nets are really beginning to show their age here.

Makes you wonder how they beat the Craptors.

Two words.

Joey. Crawford.

And I prefer to call them the MAPtors, or sometimes the TRAPtors.

time to activate and warm up almighty Odin?

game 1 garnett scoreless
game 2 dwill scoreless
who is the next victim?

The whole team. The Heat win Game 3 in historic fashion, pulling out a 101-0 W in Hipsterlyn. The 120 fans in attendance demand refunds. Prokorov sells the team to Sterling. Garnett, Peirce, and Deron retire post game. BKN looses franchise. And we all go to sleep happy.

Raptors and Knicks suck bigtime so they need something to cheer for.

Jesus Christ will return before Derrick Rose does.

The thing is Miami are coasting, they haven't even got out of neutral yet. Also not a good sign when your 'franchise' player is laying eggs

Heat really looked like they were going a little more than half speed last night and won comfortably. Their execution in the halfcourt was a thing of beauty. It's sad seeing KG and Pierce like this....gotta know when to hang up the laces man.

I do expect one throwback night from Paul before this series is over, but even in that game I'm not sure the Nets win. D-Will just doesn't seem to realize he can put up 40 on Chalmers and I don't understand why.

If only d-will had been more aggressive against chalmers. He would have scored 40 more points tonight.

Right but playoff games always have those moments where a small 2-4 point swing changes the complexion of the game. Same thing happened in game 1 with the Blatche sequence where he missed an easy one and Miami converted at the other end and then they ran away. Miami should finish this in 4-5 so they can get rest for their older guys while Washington-Indy most likely goes to 6-7.

Aw yeah I'm loving every second of this. Too bad this hyped up series will end up in 4.

Raps loss with dignity. It is truly hard to overcome the refs

Is this what the Heat/Nets threads will be infested with all series? Raptors still complaining about the refs? Your team might lose in dignity, but how does continuously blaming the refs demonstrate the fans having dignity? Playing the victim is so dignified?

[EH15]

Heat average margin of victory when up 2-0 in a series the past 4 years:

76ers, 2011 - 14.5
Celtics, 2011 - 10

Knicks, 2012 - 21.5
Celtics, 2012 - 9

Bucks, 2013 - 17.5

Bobcats, 2014 - 7.5
Nets, 2014 - 16.5

Knicks in 2012 lost by 33 points in game 1, and then by 10 in game 2, so that's why their margin is so high. They're definitely not the worst team on this list. First 2 games haven't even been close. Nets have been as competitive as a typical first round Heat opponent. It's unfortunate they're in the second round, but what can you do.

Very few are still salty about the officiating. We're having some fun with a vulnerable Net fan base. Take it for what it is. It's just a bit of playful joking around.

Interesting. So in the West they'd play hard and still win? Cause I not so sure the Blazers the way they're playing against the Spurs, so example, would be giving the Heat a series.

Never knew stating the truth is bad. here's another truth that is relevant to the Heat/net series : Lebron & co will stream-roll the Brooklyn celtics

I guess...I mean, it almost sounds like you''re salty the Nets won instead. A vulnerable Net fanbase? Maybe not as big as the Raptors, but interesting you put it like that.

Well whatever, like I said, the Nets are giving the Heat a MUCH better series than the Blazers are the Raptors, I can see the Nets still making this a worthwhile series. If they do, I'm interested on which fanbase will truly be more vulnerable once the Nets fans are talking again.
