NBA Finals thread, Game 3 (6/5/11)

For those of you still following along, the series is starting to get exciting. Or, to put it another way, in game 2 shit got real.
For those who want a more nuanced explanation of what happened in the last seven minutes of game 2, I highly recommend Sebastian Pruiti's analysis of the Mavs' double screen and Coach Nick's analysis of the Heat's many mistakes. The Mavs did something right that the Heat couldn't stop; meanwhile, the Heat couldn't do anything right.
Thing is, even if the Heat choked, the Mavs could also play so much better. Up until the last seven minutes game 2 was mostly notable for all the Mavs' unforced errors. These look like two highly-talented teams with mostly veteran talent who nevertheless can get nervous and make boneheaded mistakes under pressure.
In light of that, it's important for the Mavs to win at home, where they should feel more comfortable. On the other hand, in the 2-3-2 format, it's a challenge to win three straight at home to close out the series. I know many hope they can, but I'm still hoping for a seven-game classic. And I'm hoping that both teams get over their nerves and play their best basketball.
Of course, the better the Mavs do the more I question what the Bulls did, or could have done. But we have all summer (and maybe fall and winter) to do that. Right now there is still basketball being played, and I, for one, plan to watch (although I may watch on Tivo).

It's a bit of a blow for the mavs that Haywood is out
Still I expect Dallas to win at least two of the three games on their home court if not all three.
48 minutes of intensity

Chandler must avoid foul trouble.
I don’t have any expectations because I haven’t seen either team play a complete game yet.
Watching that Coach Nick video
just makes me believe more and more that the Bulls just weren’t mentally prepared to be in the ECF.

Indeed.
If I thought the Bulls just got outclassed by a superior team then I wouldn’t have been bothered so much. To me it was mostly just an inexperienced team looking shell-shocked.

By the way, this is the first basketball I've watched since 79-79 tie in game 5.
I needed a break after that.

That was a nice fake injury attempt by Bosh
Trying to get the foul, but just made his team burn a timeout.

Peja defense is awwwwwful
Derrick Rose will be suspended by the NBA because he has broken too many ankles.
I want to see a tech on the Heat barking at refs
Just once. Then I can cross I off my bucket list
Derrick Rose will be suspended by the NBA because he has broken too many ankles.
Every time they show vintage pics before commercials they seem to avoid showing
the MJ ones; it’s like they’re trying intentionally to not show those pics, as anyone with a brain associates playoff basketball with the Great One.
No kidding

stern needs to send Wade a memo
And tell him he is not fouled on every play, and if he continues to cry to the refs, he will be fined and or suspended
Little bitch

Pleading your case once in a while is fine
But he literally does at every stoppage of play

Flopping seriously needs to be addressed in the NBA.
It’s only going to get worse if/when the Heat win a title. The league is rewarding floppers on a nightly basis. If they can’t penalize it during the games, it needs to be done after. I wouldn’t even do fines. Just a straight one game suspension. Something like the Rose attempted steal on Lebron would be a clear cut example.
Not just that, but demanding a foul call on missed shots is the bigger problem
Looks like refs are just ignoring wades pleading , as he walks away

They are at home though.
I would take the chance of possibly drawing a charge or two and getting LeRod in foul trouble. Can’t just let him get to the bucket and expect to win.

Pat RIley must have come out before the game and greased up DAL's rim
with some of left over hair product.
Impossible. He's the best defender of his generation!

off-topic on lebron
jordan could have easily put up numbers similar to lebron james. its jsut that he didnt have to and didnt have enough opportunities to do it. Fuck lebron james and his dumbass fans stating he has better on-court visiion than jordan.
Lol, Jordan posted 32.5, 8 boards, 8 assists and 3 steals in the one season
he played the point. He also played most of his career in the triangle, where nobody really piles up the assists. Jordan is the G.O.A.T, Lebron isn’t in the discussion.
Yes miller you jumped on his back

I think the Bulls know what they have to do.
They just lack the offensive talent down the stretch.

Lebron and Bosh are pussies.
Just shoot the fucking ball. And that would have been a foul on the ground anyway Bron, you shot after the contact.
I'm glad they didn't blow the whistle there.
Not like LeRod was trying to make a basketball play there. Yes, they normally call that, but not this time.

BTW, for the record, Dallas has gotten a lot more calls than Miami today.
27 vs. 15 free throws. 14 vs. 27 personal fouls. Just saying.

First for everything.
Derrick Rose will be suspended by the NBA because he has broken too many ankles.
no repeat for the heat..teams will be ready for them.
they won’t improve any..they can’t afford good players..maybe end of their career’s vets
Yeah...Boston big 3 won 1st year.
came clos a few other times, but stuck with 1
Derrick Rose will be suspended by the NBA because he has broken too many ankles.
yeah, but after that too year injuries and age got to them
that wont happen to the heat that easily. they still got plenty of yrs but i think the bulls know what they have to win.
That and their money is all tied up to the three douches
its not like they can sign CP3 or D. Howard, they’re stuck with the Mike Bibby’s and Eric Dampier’s of the world.

What, no one was ready for them this year?
They will get a discount from veterans who want to win championships. Everyone will have another year playing with each other and with a new coach. Most importantly, Haslem and Miller will presumably be healthy next year.
And which team are you picking to knock them off next year? Young teams like the Bulls and the Thunder will still be young. Old teams like the Celtics, Mavs, and Spurs will be one year older. Miami is still in its prime.
I look forward to the Bulls getting better, I really do. But I could easily see the Heat winning more championships and continuing to stop the Bulls. This may have been the best year to knock Miami off.
Damn right off the back iron
Brim bailed out again. Wade played crazy

it all comes down to game 4
they gotta cut down on the stupid ass turnovers. seriously, too many freebie points this game for the heat.
they have to win the next 2
cuz there is no way they’re winning two in a row in miami
Why does Peja get any minutes?
Hopefully he won’t get anymore and Stevenson will get the playing time he deserves.

Derrick Rose will be suspended by the NBA because he has broken too many ankles.
still, now the presssure is on the mavs
they need to play smarter basketball. in the 1st half, too many turnovers.
i think the bulls with type of offense would seriously crush miami
the mavs defense is so inconsistent, but with the bulls defense and mavs offense=UNSTOPPABLE!!
get a good sg (jr smith/iggy) and a 6th man like crawford/BG
seriously, that would put the bulls offense on the same level as the mavs.
Three of those guys are not good on defense.
And the fourth, iggy, is not great on offense. It’s hard to improve offense without hurting defense — there aren’t many players who are great at both.
u know what, even if the win a title, it doesnt mean lebron and wade have won the war
it has just begin and they will win round 1 (that is if mavs continue playing shitty bball in the 1st half).
look, the bulls will know what it takes to beat these fuckers. they had it, but they jsut didnt have the fire power to take car of the chances they had against the heat.
sure they can celebrate, but lebron and wade better be ready for the improved bulls next yr and beyond. i KNOW our bulls will beat these guys one day and if there is one player i believe in, its my boi rose.
Derrick The Jedi Rose will come through
The Empire will fall!

Kobe Bryant: "You were the chosen one! You were supposed to take over Jordans Throne, not Destroy it!!’
three years in the future….
Lebron: Rose, Thibadeau has taught you well. Join the Miami heat, it was always your destiny, except that damn schanwald lucked out with the number 1 pick.
Rose: Ummm…Never…Why cant i beat you, why cant i turn you away from the heat side…?
Pat Riley: Yes young rose. defeat Lebron James, and take your place by my side, together we shall rule the entire nba…
Rose: I will never party on south beach with you! My Mom wouldn’t like it if i did
Bosh: Mesa Chris Bosh, Mesa always get bosh and wades sloppy seconds…
and on cue a door opens with a serious faced wade. He pulls out 1 championship trophy, and then smiles as a second trophy appears

I don't know if it will be different with the NBA.
But the NFL Lockout really overshadowed any prolonged celebration for the Packers winning the Super Bowl this year, so if the NBA locks out it could put a damper on their celebrations a bit.

Perhaps, but the Packers are not the Heat,
and there has never been a situation like this before.
A lockout should at least get the talk off the Heat on ESPN
The three “kings” will still be dancing around Miami like idiots.

Chandler was playing way too cautiously, to avoid getting into foul trouble.
Hat's off to Miami
They have to work their butts off, whether it’s against the Sixers or the Celtics or Bulls… Nothing is coming easy for them, they can’t get any blowout wins and their flaws are always getting exposed…
It’s great TV because even though they’re winning, they almost always seem to be one step away from disaster…
People think that this is the start of a new “superteam” era… B.S. it’s hard to build good teams…
