I want the Heat to win tonight and take a 3-1 lead but my gut says the refs and stern make sure OKC wins tonight

And the heat shot the worst percentage outside of the paint by an NBA finals squad in 15 years, not to mention they had 9 TOs in the final 12 mins.Originally Posted by JesusShuttlesworth34
OKC hadn't played a good game yet. I think they are due and wouldn't be surprised if they win big.
Where do you see anything about "ragging" on his defense though? That has never been one of his weak suits....people are saying he is one the best one on one defender and all I said was that he is over-rated in that aspect. Nobody can criticize his communication and leadership on the defensive side of the ball and how he leads the team defense.Originally Posted by FlacoBey

If bron had four points in the fourth and lost this place would be clowning him to all hell. Now since he's been killing it consistently people are ragging on his defense. The hate is unbelievable.

I can't imagine that happening for the second consecutive game at home.
Their shooting woes before this series could be directly attributed to Bosh's absence and Haslem's/Battier's inability to knock down his shot which lead to a lack of floor spacing.Originally Posted by JesusShuttlesworth34
They did shoot terribly and they have for the majority of the postseason....it's just that Lebron's greatness has overshadowed their inadequacies and made them a non-issue or topic of conversation. Battier catching fire this series has saved them as well.
Then what do you call game 2??? Miami shot 47%, 43% from the 3, 22-25 from the FT. Bron had 32, Wade had 24, Battier had 17 on 5-7 3 pt shooting, Bosh had 16 and 15. Thats the best the heat will do on paper with 4 people over 15 points.Originally Posted by KMante

I expect a great game tonite!
His jump shooting numbers the past few seasons have been on par with Melo, Durant & KobeOriginally Posted by Mez 0ne
I understand Bosh being a good outside shooter but BRON is extremely streaky

In the last game, Bron & Bosh alone were a combined 2/14 outside the paint and those are two of the better jump shooters in the league. They helped contribute to MIA's worst outside shooting performance since Bron & Bosh joined the team.
It's unlikely that they'll keep missing those looks for the remainder of the series.
He's attempted a couple, I think he has only hit oneOriginally Posted by Mez 0ne
It's about time Bron has begun to attack the paint at will, has he even attempted a single 3 pointer?

No doubt. Can't waitOriginally Posted by JesusShuttlesworth34
I expect both teams to play better overall in Game 4.
Wade called in Tim Grover to help him out the rest of the Finals, so we shall see.Originally Posted by toine2983

He hit one in Game 3.
Tonight is going to be a close game I think. OKC is going to come out aggressive because they can't afford to go down 3-1.
The better not have a slow start again.
For the Heat, someone outside of Battier is going to have to make jumpshots. Bosh, Rio, and Mike Miller's corpse need to make their open shots so OKC can't pack the lane when LeBron and Wade drive.
Speaking of Wade, wonder how he's going to sabotage the game tonight.
