Re: PG: Making It Rain On The Heat
You had to love the aggression these guys displayed after playing like timid little girls for the first two games.
Gotta win tomorrow though. I can't get too excited until they do.

Deron pushing the tempo to Joe in the corners and Pierce on the wings.
We basically played the same style we did in the regular season.

We don't have to be a running team but all Deron and Shaun have to do is push the ball Kidd style off the turn overs or rebounds and we're going to get good looks.
The one thing I will credit Deron with is that he was very focused when it came to moving the ball.
If you're going to stink to high hell, at least get the ball to the guys that want to score and win.

Re: PG: Making It Rain On The Heat
Alan Anderson did a terrific job muscleing Ray Allen last night....That was a key to your team's win IMO....
I've never seen Ray lose focus like he did last night...Anderson played him tough....
And when Allen dosen't do what he consistantly does, the Heat struggle....
Also....props to AK47 for his effort on Lebron....gotta keep fresh guys on him and make him work...
Litlte things like that make a huge difference in a game's outcome sometimes....good effort!

Most raps fans are probably in their own board talking about how we lucked out a win. Their saltiness is so annoying, seriously what have the nets exactly done to them?
no they are still crying about the officiating in game 1 of the first round

Re: PG: Making It Rain On The Heat
great game. crowd was great... i think it was louder last night then game 7 last year. and it just kind of "felt" more like playoff crowds then the other games ive been through.
Thought blatche was outstanding. he was really aggressive without being dumb
johnson and mirza second half threes were enormous
that flagrant call on lebron was riddiculous. i mean i know its a flagrant by the book now, but 20 years ago thats like a play on
I though anderson played great D, he has been pretty consistent for a low level role guy so far in the playoffs
dwill seemd to play alot harder and more aggresive, even if the scoring wasnt there
i still think its a crazy tall task to win 3 of the next 4 games, but evening it up monday would at least put some pressure on them.
this would be a great time to have a stretch of elite 3 point shooting

Agreed.
I don't care if Deron shoots bricks if he is being aggressive and getting people shots. That right there will remedy a lot of the crap we saw on the road and it did last night at home.
Win tomorrow at any cost. Physical play, good ball movement, and good shooting will take us over the top. And for god's sakes, why did it take Kidd so long to slap AK47 on Lebron???

Re: PG: Making It Rain On The Heat
I actually thought AK did a great job guarding Bosh too, and i was laughing really hard cause bosh couldn't even back down livingston at the end of the game hahaa.
great effort by almost everyone, I wanna see blatche more aggressive like that - and alan anderson ofcourse good job on D by playing up an Alan.
and MIRZA KEEP SHOOTINGGG

Re: PG: Making It Rain On The Heat
BK you guys still got this.
Bos was down 0-2 in the ECF Finals in 2012, only to win both in Boston & take game 5 in Mia w/ Truth nailing that 3 in LBJ's mouth.
Tomorrow night is gonna be crazy! Get this thing tied up at 2. Mia will start freaking out. They'll be saying & acting poised, but they'll be freaking out. Let's go BK!

I said previously, one of two storylines will develop within the next few days. If Brooklyn ties this series up at 2-2, is Miami's tank starting to wear of or will Miami be resilient as they have been? I'm hoping and believe it is the first. The Nets had game 2 for the taking but could not execute offensively. Bosh really struggled in Game 3 and if we can shut down one of the big three( best case Wade, although highly unlikely), Miami will really struggle. If this series is tied, which I hope happens, the pressure will be on Miami in Game 5.

Re: PG: Making It Rain On The Heat
If the Nets want any chance of winning tomorrows game then the team is going to have to defend like they did on Saturday; they need to limit Ray Allen's production, keep Bosh from getting the ball and have the Mets beat the Yankees.

If Nets win Game 4 today, you put Lebron in a good position to choke a Game 5. I like the Net's chances with the series at 2-2 going in a Game 5 situation. I think LBJ is already feeling the pressure today.

i would agree the nets best chance at winning the series is:
1) keeping the games closeand winning 1 possesion games late
2) keeping the seires close and winning in 7 games
our only advantage over miami IMO is that we have more guys who rise to the occasion and not succumb to pressure. dwill is the only guy on our team who is a complete 0 when it counts. where as much as the heat have won, i still like our chances in a 1 possesion game or in a game 7
the problem is getting their. tonite is as must win as it gets. we arent winning 2 of 3 in miami, and 3 in a row overall

Whoops, completely read that wrong, I was assuming since you're a Yankess fan.
