Do you guys think the Miami big three will shoot that good again?

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

? I'm thinking no, I was surprised they didn't fade tonight. I think the Spurs take game 5 on Sunday after taking a rest and coming out with a sense of urgency, unlike tonight. The question is, can we take games 6 or 7 on the road? Remember Dallas lost a game at home two years ago and won game 6 in Miami to win the series. I'm confident in these Spurs!

[Darius Bieber]

Doesn't matter. They got easy buckets tonight, had their way going into the paint, and got wide open looks. When they're on fire, they're unstoppable.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Very surprised as they haven't been clutch all playoffs. Don't think they'll shoot like this, but this is a team who played great during the season

[dg7md]

Yes.

Wade and LeBron are two of the league's best players.

Bosh? Not really, but he wasn't the problem.

[Brunodf]

If Pop keep playing this midget ball

[Budkin]

Hope not but probably... doesn't matter though if we don't turn the ball over 20 times.

[mercos]

Who knows. Didn't Miami trade wins with Indiana last series? Seems like its been a while since they put together two good games in a row. They are obviously capable.

[TheRemix]

its going to game 7

That's the scary thing. This is closer to how they play on a regular basis. I'd say there's one more game like that coming. Likely in Game 6 or 7.

[HarlemHeat37]

Lebron probably will IMO..

Wade and Bosh have shown little consistency in months, they have both struggled to string consecutive good performances..

Bosh will continue to get good looks and probably make them, tbh..he's been getting great looks all series, tonight was the first game where he made them..I expect him to play well going forward, unless the Spurs can get Duncan the ball down low to punish him..

I'd be surprised if Wade has another dominant game, though..

[ironman2886]

They might, but it won't matter if the Spurs take care of the ball and two of the big three play very well.

[michaelwcho]

I kinda wonder what the score would have been if the Spurs 3 pt shooters hadn't continued to be on fire.

[Stabula]

Lebron will but Wade won't. Wade will have 12 points in game 5.

[SpurSpurSpurs]

I think not. Hopefully Pop makes great adjustments. X-factor? Kawhi and Danny's perimeter D.

[Seefourdc]

The real answer is if they are motivated enough to they will. Miami can get to the basket at will if they put their man pants on, but a lot of games they come out and shoot lazy J's and take whatever is easily given to them.

I think they are more likely to do it again than Danny Green and Gary Neal. Trust stars and superstars more than role players.

Plus, with Tiago no doubt seeing his minutes disappear for the rest of the series, that opens up the lane a bit because he is a decent defender, so the Heat will get to the rim easier, which will give them confidence and lead to more success with the mid-range shots.

[BillMc]

Lebron will but Wade won't. Wade will have 12 points in game 5.

I agree with this.

Their shooting % (especially LeBron's) was raised by easy baskets after our turnovers. Really the whole series comes down to whether we can protect the ball or not.

[dallasmaverickslose]

They might, but it won't matter if the Spurs take care of the ball and two of the big three play very well.

dat tongue...

[TheGoldStandard]

We have no choice but to play small, they'll continue to bully us with Lebron and wade will be there to scoop up the loose balls. We rebounded poorly tonight, Tiago is a huge waste for his size its embarrassing. I know this might sound like a typical ST thing but I wouldn't mind seeing McGrady come in for Diaw instead of splitter, he can pass and he has size to at least defend.

[Rapper]

Yes of course that is what they are

Do not try to think they would play like they were in Game 1 and Game 3

tonightˊHeat are the real Heat

[TheGoldStandard]

To answer the question, eh.. depends on what we do. It's about action not reaction, we got beat up on the boards tonight. Lebron will probably average about 26 the rest of the series but we gotta make sure to pressure wade and frustrate him. Bosh doesn't matter.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Yeah, I think the early turnovers led to the dominant performance from Miami's big three. To me though the Spurs need to adjust their floor spacing and they need to get more penetration from just Parker. I feel like Kawhi needs to drive more. He had that nice three point play where he scored on Bosh. He showed a lot of athleticism on that play, athleticism that the Spurs need on offense. It seems that the offense goes as Parker does, we need more of a presence in the form of attacking the hoop than just Parker. I'm also done with the P&R, it doesn't work, Miami defends it way too well.

[Kuestmaster]

No.

[BatManu20]

Doesn't matter. They got easy buckets tonight, had their way going into the paint, and got wide open looks. When they're on fire, they're unstoppable.

[siraulo23]

If d wade is healthy absolutely, he somehow got healthy and stepped up when needed, he was the difference

[Rapper]

Do you think Danny Green and Gary Neal will shoot that good again?

[crc21209]

Lebron probably will IMO..

Wade and Bosh have shown little consistency in months, they have both struggled to string consecutive good performances..

This. The key is to limit the turnovers, thus limiting Miami's transition points at the same time. It seemed like Wade and LeBron settled into more of a rhythm because they had some easy fastbreak points, which then got them more comfortable with their jump shots. They also let Bosh roll to the basket too easily and he also got some points off second chance rebounds that they need to limit. Wade's J has been off for awhile now so I don't see him doing this again. I think Bosh will continue to get some of the same looks, but he won't make alot of them like he did tonight...

[Yuixafun]

Wade was the difference

that fucker caught fire

and he stole our spirit (6steals)

while boosted his teams confidence


Lebron James scored 10 garbage points when the game was already decided to pad his stats

thumbs down.

[smaka]

Nope. It was Wade's evening and he had the shots falling, but I don't see him doing anything like that in the following games. Hopefully Bosh goes back to scrub mode too.

[cd98]

Yes. Spurs need to play better, not hope Miami plays worse.

[Seefourdc]

Letting Wade get his confidence back was a terrible mistake. That shit Pop pulled putting Splitter on him to start the game brought on all these problems. Now you have to deal with a confident Wade and LBJ.

[41times]

Its all about DumbWade. If he plays like that every game like he did in the 2006 Finals the CHeat are almost impossible to beat. So figure out a way to slow him down quickly.
