Scrub comes out, Heat take a 4 point lead into the half after a Ray Allen 3 the HOF… must keep scrub battier out to win this one

good defensive half

 

[Paolo305613]

Agreed - A good defensive half though not great. They need to improve upon it to get by this good portland team

 

[Paolo305613]

Nice defense by Oden

 

[Paolo305613]

Interesting stat by E-Reid, LBJ avg only 1 ORB Per game this season. Needs to improve upon that… Effort is a big part of it.

Blazers in the penalty already

Tony Douglas is Shane Battier twin on offense....god does he stink

That is insulting to TD. No is Scrub Battier twin on defense or offense. No other soul on the team is that bad.

 

[Paolo305613]

Scrub Battier doesnt play a single minute of the third quarter and Heat lead by 11 going into the 4th. Keep him out and Heat will win by 15+

 

[Paolo305613]

D” held Portland w/o a Fg for the last 3:04. Per Mike Inglis Radio voice of the Heat. Thats what happens when you keep scrub Battier out

okay the sheer panic and conceding of home court in the playoffs should stop for a couple days now. we are in fine shape. spurs probably take top seed.. after that it's a race. spurs may not even come out of the west. we are in fine shape.

chicago up 8 on indy right now in the 3rd. they way those two teams are scoring, the pacers may be finished.

I still will like to see this team perform better on the road which is my major concern at this point. I know they will win most of their home games for the most part but we've been shitty on the road since that 3 game trip a few months ago

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat got this one in their back-pocket if they can keep scrub battier out of the game - Hopefully Indy loses and we are in good shape going into the next game with them.

of course we have to play better on the road. this team is capable of 60-65 wins a season. they wont get 60+ this year in all likelihood. it's so much easier for teams to get up to play them than the other way around. every team in the NBA wants to beat the defending champs at home and the crowds are extra rowdy. they are fighting the human condition a bit.

playoff time, that wont happen. they will be as up for the game as the opponent. really, i am not worried about this team. i like what they have been doing with wade and oden. i hope we can find some time before the playoffs to get lebron some rest.

 

[bksballer89]

Down to 5 now.

We have to close out on their shooters

 

[bksballer89]

You gotta be kidding me

 

[bksballer89]

Score and stop

 

[Paolo305613]

I guess the Heat found out the Pacers were down so now they are trying to blow this one?

 

[bksballer89]

This is a collapse

 

[Flauge]

not over yet.

BOSH!!!!!!
