[Strikeout King]

Series tied 2-2

[Stardust]

Every time James snatched a Spurs miss off the glass he thundered up the court, attacking the back-pedaling defense for easy layups that simply haven't been there for him this series.

He made six of his first seven shots, controlling the tempo and responding when the Spurs threatened to run away with the game in the first six minutes. James made the move the Heat have been waiting for all series. He took the ball coast-to-coast on two straight possessions during a run that tied it at 19.

This series, and especially last night, has been dominated with the Heat's big three versus the Spurs Big three. It is being dictated by the Spurs role players. When the Spurs jumped up by 10 off of Leonard, Neal and Green 3 pointers, it looked like the Spurs role guys were going to dictate the game again. Then they came back down to earth.

I have to admit, I was wondering just what the heck Spoelstra was thinking with starting Miller last night. Though Miller was scoreless and played bad D again, I can't expect we see that again.

I was really impressed with the defense of Miami last night.

Bron and Wade are the first teammates to score 30+ points in a Finals game...since Kobe & Shaq.

I was really impressed with the defense of Miami last night.

Miami seems to only turn on the D when they feel threatened. When this team decides to play defense, they are unbeatable.

SA would have to end it in Miami now.
IDK if they can.

[Stardust]

^ They can't

[zaga_fan]

I'd say the Heat win it now.

This series has been back and forth, there's really no way to anticipate what happens next.

Typically you see teams carry some momentum from game-to-game.

Not the case in this series.

Every game is a different story.

^ It's made it one of the most exciting series in a long time because of the unknown. You can take absolutely nothing from a previous game because the next does a complete 180.

nicker:

I know, but i like giving the Lebron haters false hope....


In all honesty im glad this has been an exciting series. It seems the NBA has gotten boring lately and this series has been anything but.

Spurs stole game one at home and you wonder if the Spurs can handle the Heat swiftly.

The Heat come out and pounce on the Spurs in game 2 and you think the Spurs just had extra rest and the Heat will finish this off as expected.

Then the Spurs came out and completely shellacked the Heat in game 3 with Tony Parker getting hurt.

Then in game 4 it looks like Tony Parker isn't even hurt and Miami's Big 3 finally all show up at the same time.

Game 5 ---- who knows


I think this series goes 7 games

[Stardust]

^ It's logical that whoever wins tonight wins the title. But I'm not sure you can count on that. No single game has carried any momentum over for that team!
