Honestly, you have to wonder what Blair did to piss off Pop. He is clearly talented enough to be logging minutes in this league.

2013 NBA Finals |OT| The "Big 3" looks to hang another banner... against the Heat
- Thread starter reilo
- Start date
in the first half, yes.
second half, it's penetrate then kick out. there's no drive to the basket when he's out there for the most part later in the game. he settles for horrible looks, has trouble passing the ball out to the open man...just doesn't look like his head is in the game after halftime and the whole team suffers because of it.
he starts out 4/5 with I think 4 assists. after that? 3/10 with 1 assist.
Bosh is guilty of this kind of lackadaisical play as well. starts off okay and then disappears for half the game. No effort on the boards, poor boxing out, poor individual defense.
idk what's with LeBron...maybe overplayed after that 7 game series, maybe just the defensive scheme, but he's gotta get more aggressive. if he doesn't it's probably series over.
A lot wrong with this game on the heat side.

Real talk. What's going on with Lebron? Is he hurt? Is Kawhi in his head? Both? Something else?
He's short, his D is suspect, and he can't space the floor bc of his lack of a jumper

Man, LeBron had a tough night. It's ok, the game's greatest have had these types of performances. Even Kobe has had his difficult finals games. The Heat will learn from this and LeBron will perform up to his ability next game.

Leonard/Neal/Green leading the team in scoring?
I'd say 20 games. Green's minutes got cut because of Manu. When TP got hurt, Green played PG.

Gonna catch up on Mad Men. Someone PM me with how big a bitch LeBron acts like in the postgame.
Embarrassed with these guys tonight.

Danny Green was 4/23 from 3 versus OKC last year. What a turnaround.
Nope. Boston in 2008 versus Lakers.

Weren't you the one that said, "heat in 5" lol
Even if Neal and Green shoot their season average from 3 the spurs still blow you guys out...

I think you misunderstood what I meant by penetration there.
As in the Spurs forcibly inserted their penises into the collective butts of the Heat tonight.
No, shot those percentages.

Mike Miller also better stop shooting 100% from 3s
Celtics Lakers Finals clincher was worse than this in 08.

I honestly thought bosh and miller both played great. Bosh wasn't getting any touches after he got hot

Magic speaking truth. Lebron is to blame.

You should be fucking embarrassed when Danny Green and Gary Neal go off on you in The Finals.
I hope so, Michael Bolton, I hope so.
As usual I have my doubts...but both teams rarely lose back to back. However one of them has to be broken :-(

Mamba, I will admit that Danny Green has taken the lead for Finals MVP.

Oh? 5 times that I can remember off the top of my head. Spurs tied the record for most 3s in a nba game record this season so obvious this isn't an anomaly.

If he played about as half as good as he is playing in this series, this would be a NBA Finals rematch :/

Spurs outscored Miami 69-33 the final 24:30 of the game. LOL
Green and Neal going to the podium tonight apparently! Here come Pop

it was like they were a duo of the games best players imposing their will on a finals game....
Danny Green sucked when he played under Mike Brown and got outplayed by Manny Harris in the preseason
He got cut twice by the Spurs
This isn't the same player
ah...okay I thought you were responding seriously.
honestly, I don't know what Miami's offensive gameplan is.
it's not get to the paint really...it's not really much pick n roll...LeBron isn't posting...there's a lot of iso/little ball movement...and there's almost exclusively jumpers from wade/chalmers/LeBron/bosh for half the game.
and it's not like it's this game. outside of the run in game 2 and a few offensive play calls in game 1, this has been the Heat in this series.
How could you possibly remember those percentages off the top of your head.

I'm not concerned about this team being "broken". I'm concerned with the fact that we need to win the next 3 out of 4 games.
That's going to be difficult.
I have a feeling we are going to head home 3-2 Spurs. What happens next is anyones guess.
