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.
? 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!

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
Yes.
Wade and LeBron are two of the league's best players.
Bosh? Not really, but he wasn't the problem.
If Pop keep playing this midget ball
Hope not but probably... doesn't matter though if we don't turn the ball over 20 times.
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.
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.
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..
They might, but it won't matter if the Spurs take care of the ball and two of the big three play very well.
I kinda wonder what the score would have been if the Spurs 3 pt shooters hadn't continued to be on fire.
Lebron will but Wade won't. Wade will have 12 points in game 5.
I think not. Hopefully Pop makes great adjustments. X-factor? Kawhi and Danny's perimeter D.
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.
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.
dat tongue...
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.
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

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