Howard is doing fine... He's wearing Bam down and grabbing boards...

I doubt Javale gets any time this series the way he's playing.

Missed the first half. It's sucks that dragic and butler are hurt. I want to beat a healthy heat team. Looks like AD is balling. How has everyone else looked? How are they gaurding Bam?

The Heat will have to start playing with two bigs at one point. AD is just toying with them.

This is when we start getting stupid in past games... We need to keep the intensity up and keep executing... Bring in bench guys if you must, but sit anyone who takes the foot off the pedal...

Dragic and Butler are hurt because they're having to play with incredible intensity to stay in the building with the Lakers... Or in other words, they're hurt because the Lakers are laying a beat down on them right now the likes of which we haven't seen all year...

Everyone is hitting 3s...

Interesting. Did the heat play any zone? How did the Lakers handle it?

I said it in the thread leading to the game. They rely on Dragic to keep it close during luls as he just calls his own number and makes plays to keep them in games to the others get it going
