Miami showed its ferocious defense in the 2nd qtr but San Antonio is still up by6. San Antonio has the look of a steady team whether they're getting good looks or Miami is pouncing defensively. That's why they look nonchalant when they're getting their brains bashed in.

Game 3 calls not inure the pattern of Game 2. Miami has to commit a felony before a foul is called. The Spurs player just have to be in the vicinity.
Even a felony doesn't get the Spurs a whistle. Duncan got mugged bu Halam and Duncan got called at the other end. I don't like that this might sound like whining, but man it's so obvious. Lebrun scratched Duncan's face in the 1st half and no call. Lebrun slipped in the paint with not even a Spurs breath on him and he gets free throws. Still San Antonio is up by 13.
Well Bruddah you will now understand that your comments after Game 2 were premature. Welcome to NBA analytics. I said it was going t be a 6- or 7-game series.
Note Pops adjustment on LeBron - no more rolling pick-n-roll as the screener at the top of the key. Also shooting can be contagious.
If you'd watch the Memphis series you would have heard of Green and Leonard. Neal? Well even I didn't expect his shooting.

typos here - should be "calls now following the pattern"...
San Antonio packed the lane - a tactical gamble by Pops. MJ whave have made them pay.
Where was Diaow? Pops decided to spread the floor with Matt Bonner.
What ah cut rass
I wonder if Tony Parker will be able to play in Game 4 given his hamstring problem in Game 3.
What ah cut rass
Toooooooooooooooooo Sweettttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There will be no cut rass talk if Miami does the following:
- Tony Parker does not play
- Dwayne Wade DOES play (i.e. he finds his legs)
- They force many turnovers and get easy transition baskets
- Haslem goes 8 for 9
- Mike Miller and Ray Allen go 12 for 15 on 3-pointers
- LeBron sets up Bosh for 6 easy baskets
- LeBron gets a triple-double
The Spurs does not need to depend on a Big-Three like Miami because they are a complete team. The Spurs Big-Three does not have to carry the load as Danny Green Kwawi Leonard are legitimate NBA front-line players. The Miami role players need its Big-Three to perform at a high level.
