Miami probably wins in 6, although i wouldn't be shocked if pacers won the series. Lbj needs to make sure the scrubs show up. Shane's chucking isn't working and they rely on that a lot. Wade needs to step it up too.

Not saying they have in this series. But you do know that refs ahve admitted to being given an agenda? to each other (then through that one that put in jail... because he knew about their given agendas) right?

Lebron and Bosh only need either the 3 point shooters to hit their shots or Wade to show up. One will suffice.
I think it happens each of the next 3 games.
Wade is only averaging 14 points this postseason. under 50% TS% too. Can't get to the line. In fact, I don't even see him scoring much in the halfcourt. Heat fans have to be concerned about the future if Wade doesn't return to form because he might have just hit his career wall.
Is this english?

oh the hypocrisy.
it sucks watching. at this point I can only hope he'll show up when really needed and that this off-season he'll go to tim grover again or something to save himself

I think he has some good games left for the playoffs, but Lebron is leaving in 2014 if Wade really has declined a bunch.

I don't think he will leave as long as wade is playing in miami.
I just listened to the windhorst/simmons podcast and now I am just terrified of everybody including pat riley leaving miami in 2014

Pat deserves better than Miami Basketball culture.
It's on my podcast list, but it's Bill Simmons, his podcasts are not hard to find on the internet
pat riley is heat culture. don't insult the man
Lebron, Aldridge, Lil Kyrie and Bust Waiters is a contender, very similar to the Heat actually.

The Mavs were the underdogs. They were the underdogs on GAF and in the media. And in Vegas. I don't think anyone actually had them winning that series.
ROFL
He mastered leaving like a traitor long before LeBron
He hung Michael Jordan's jersey long before Marino's
He catwalked for Giorgio Armani long before Wade painted his toenails
Heat Culture.

The heat culture is sleazy and stuck in the 80's?

He was serious on that? Dirk was the only star and everyone else was just good role players.
Go to grantland.com and click podcasts. Should be on page one or two.

Coach Nick: Grizz v Spurs Game 3
Mostly talking about how Grizz postups didn't work against the Spurs, Spurs abused the Grizz hedging the P&R and he thinks Zbo is the weak link of the Grizz.
The Heat also hedge aggressively on the P&R so that plus the Spurs having Timmy may cause them a lot of problems.

I have no idea how things are going to play out. It's one of the most interesting things going in sports right now. Will the Heat get rid of Wade in the desperate hope of keeping LeBron?

Oh geez. Kobe will be done after next year and he'll be lucky to have a season where he averages more than 15-18ppg, unless ofcourse he take 50 shots a game next year than he may be able to hit 23-25ppg. Lakers will have nice cap space after next season but lets be honest, the big free agents will be 30 or so and will have played 9-10 years in the league. Outside of LeBron, no other big time free agent will be able to carry a franchise and LeBron isn't going to L.A.

When the Grizz hedge like that no wonder they're getting burned because Gasol hedges too much and can't get back to his man and Zbo is looking for a steal every time or looks like he's on a switch. Bosh is a much better hedger, he can push out the ball handler and still get back to his man in time.
I'm inclined to agree, although both kyrie and noel (obviously) are really young and would do much better under a diffrent coach
That organization tho...

I agree, but the Pacers don't even know how to offense, and they're completely exposing the Heat on the P&R, so just imagine what the Spurs would do to them. All of this could of course be because the Heat still don't give a fuck.
Lebron and Kyrie don't really work on the same team. Then again neither did Lebron and Wade...
lebron would take just bosh before he took noel and kyrie
and let's all be real, it's all about wade
well
Z-bo is the weak link. And has been for some time.
He doesn't seem to hit his jumper at all anymore, and with out that, he's a lot less of a weapon.
He can still get it done if you have terrible post defenders. But the spurs have been building up a group of capable bigs for a few years.
And he's never been a great defender. He's good. And mainly gets into good positions. But he doesn't have the foot speed to be great. Nor the length.
It's the sort of series where having Ed Davis on the floor should have helped a lot. But Grizz never developed him or worked him into their system at all.
It would work better than Bron and Wade. Kyrie is a lights out shooter.

What am I watching there? He hit a streak of 5/6 or 6/7? Is that news worthy? Anyone can do that.
Gentle Rodriguez

True, but he's also a extremely dominant ballhandler and had an extremely high USG% of 30.2% in the last season, although some of that may be attributed to the shitty team he's on.
Either Lebron or Kyrie have to adjust to the other, porbably Kyrie.

miami needs to come out strong for every quarter. no more of that "well turn it up in the 4th" thing theyve gotten comfortable doing. role players doing their job would be cool too.
pacers are a tough home team so they need to go above and beyond and split it in indiana. i dont see miami winning 3 games in a row against this pacers squad.

Z-Bo to the Bulls for Deng and Gibson. Do both sides say no?
