Are the Heat screwed?

[100%duncan]

Nope not even close to screwed. Not yet at least. I'm thinking the Spurs lose a close game 2.

cool sig tbh

I have a feeling yall are going to get screwed frequently in obvious fashion from now on to entertain the idea that the cHeat are a team of resilience

The Spurs are clearly the better team despite the gap in individual talent.

They were some missed wipe open Battier 3s from blowing that game open tbh. Sure the Spurs missed some of their own in the 3rd but I thought the Heat controlled the game up until the 4th. Score doesn't always tell the whole story of how the game is going.

Granted I thought a lot of the Spurs mishaps in the 3rd were rust related and I think the Spurs can definitely impose their will moving forward.

If we'd hit even half those 3s we'd have been up most of the game.

The two things that cause them the most problems are quick, slashing point guards and good bigs that can pass. Check and check.

Their best offensive advantage is to post LBJ, but that will slow things down and they don't like that pace.

On the other end, their best defense is LBJ on Parker, but that's not gonna work, IMO.

Sure. Ok.

There's a reason the Kobe Lakers have lost two Finals: once they're there, the league doesn't give a crap. They have their ratings "cash cow".

If you believe in conspiracies, the full and total reason for the lockout was ownership's fury over players like the Superfriends taking the bull by the horns and deciding their own destinies by banding together. Stern is an asshole, but ultimately, he works for the owners. If they're not happy, he isn't, either. The rules that kick in this summer almost certainly mean the end of the Heat as we know them next summer.

[Mr. Body]

Not screwed. At all.

But if the Spurs leave San Antonio with three total wins (3-2) I think they'll win one of the last two in Miami.

cHeat are 13-0 when losing Game 1 of a playoff series in their Big One-Medium One-Small One history.

So, they're due to lose one, then?

[rascal]

A couple of baskets difference win and some think the series is already over.
