I don't think people understand what "fool's gold" and "live and die by the three" mean. The Spurs don't live by the three anymore; they used to when a lot of their plays were designed to get three-pointers instead of getting into the paint. The Spurs now live by penetration and ball-movement. The fact that Green and Neal went off from deep isn't fool's gold, because no matter happens for the rest of the series, the Heat will have to respect them, which creates the space for Parker and Duncan to work. The Heat know they just can't leave them open, ever.
A great example of it was during the second quarter last night, when Wade made a false step when Neal slipped on his drive. Up to then, Wade had chased Green off the three-point line very well, but he thought he could get to Neal and force a turnover. Neal made the pass to Green, who had the sliver of daylight he needed to get the shot off. Wade had a look on his face which seemed to say, "You're telling me I can't even help off this guy THAT much?" That's "real gold" whether Green makes another three in this series or not.
