Heat: Indiana Birdkillers v Miami Sterns Game 3

[Capt Bringdown]

The problem is that Indiana is giving up points to the rest of the players, like Haslem..

Haslem 6 for 7, Andersen 3 for 3
Ouch

calm the fuk down, the heat are still garbage. haslem averages 4ppg, doubt the scrub goes off again.

I'm gonna work and get all muscular! Then I'm gonna oil myself up, put on underwear, and roll around on the mat with another dude! There's nothing erotic about that at all!

[AaronY]

Forgot the ellipses..eh well, get em next time..

I don't double LeBron on the block. The reason this series is 1-1 is guys like Allen/Battier/Haslem haven't done . You start doubling and giving those guys open looks and this series is over in 5.

If LeBron continues to dominate in the block then tip your hat and hope you win Game 4 tbh.

[Budkin]

TBH, Miami is not gonna lose to any team unfortunately... LOL at people who built false hope...Miami was coasting and now they're dialed in.

They're not good at defending the pick and roll. Guess what our entire offense is based on?

[HarlemHeat37]

Lebron scored 36 in game 2 on ridiculous efficiency and Indiana still won..

I wouldn't double, I'd try to play physical with him in the post until he gets annoyed, and I'd stop giving looks to Haslem and Birdman and the role players, tbh..

Paul George needs to man up..he's skinny, he's like 6'10", but it's not like he has Durant's body..he was bestowed after game 2, he's not living up to the hype in game 3(as expected, but still)..

[Strategic]

The good news for the Pacers; they are only down by 14.

After a show like that from the heat, not bad!

Lebron will go for 50 on 90% shooting if you let him go 1-on-1 against Paul George in the post all game long. Lebron has 50lbs on him, George can't do anything.

Double from the weak side and rely on defensive rotations. It's all you can do.

Crazy how much this series is beginning to resemble the SA/GS series.

Can you guess what our biggest weakness is in terms of matchups? Miami is like a anabolic steroid version of last years OKC team. They're athleticism and sharp-shooting are going to leave us s -shocked.

Miami's adjusted to Indy's size. Series is done.

No he wouldn't. And if he did then so be it tbh.

[Strategic]

I don't think that was a flop, just a bad call.

I thought that most of the season until seeing Chicago and Indiana expose their weaknesses.

Disagree. The Thunder are much more of a jump shooting team than the Heat. We struggle against teams like Golden State who are stacked with shooters. If LeBron and Wade live by the jump shot, spurs win. They aren't a great jump shooting team

[Mugen]

blatant travel by Paul George.

Miami was #2 in the NBA at defending pick&roll ball-handlers, tbh..

Miami's defensive weaknesses are allowing open 3s and defending top bigs..Spurs only chance is if Duncan/Splitter dominate and the shooters make most of their 3s in the series, tbh..

Tony Parker and Manu are probably going to struggle against Miami, tbh..

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Has anyone ever seen a team without any star player or popularity get as much ref love as the Pacers get?

[Strategic]

eat chalmers

[Clipper Nation]

GNSF filled with false hope by Miami playing at 60% intensity at best, coasting most of the time..... they haven't even approached "Game 6 at the Garden" level yet....

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Come on Pacers. Let's have a lead entering the 4th quarter.

[Richie]

No he wouldn't. And if he did then so be it tbh.

In the post he absolutly would. It would be like asking Hibbert to guard prime Shaq 1-on-1. They have similar size, but LeBron is so much more powerful he will get any shot he wants.
