Di nila matanggap ang law of averages


Same goes with Battman's shooting

SHlT SHOTS almost all playoff game and regular season

Biglang halimaw sa last 3 games niya

[Objection]

Game 3 spoiler

[ryanfelipe]

In the OKC team history this season(esp. playoffs), sa huling talo nila vs. Spurs talagang bumabawi sila in terms of attacking points.

In Game 3, 20-pt. margin (vs Spurs). Napansin ko umaatake sila via fastbreak, hindi sila masyadong dumedepende sa jumpshot. Its purely defense coming from a loss.

On Monday, I can see the Thunder will be more desperate to win. In Game 3, baka sumentro ang defense nila kina Battier, Chalmers and maybe Miller( he is not yet explode in the last i think 5 games).

Honestly, tama ang sinasabi ni Boom Gonzales at TJ Manotoc na lucky ang panalo ng Heat.

Mas maganda nga sumentro defense nila kay Battier, Chalmers at Miller para makita nila paano maglaro si James, Wade at Bosh pag lamya ang depensa.

For the record No team has won the NBA Championship w/out an All Star big men (PF/C).
Here's some in the last 12 yrs

1999, 2003, 2005, 2007 Spurs - Tim Duncan and David Robinson
2000-02 Lakers - Shaquille O'neal
2004 Pistons - Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace
2006 Heat - Shaquille O'neal
2008 Celtics - Kevin Garnett
2009 - 10 Lakers - Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum
2011 Mavericks - Dirk Nowitzki
2012 ?? Thunder - No all star big man
Heat - Chris Bosh

What do you think pex ppl?

I think KD is taller than Perkins.. Pwede na yun

[elnopuente]

Bynum wasn't an All-Star Caliber bigman during those two title runs. He didn't even finish games (Odom did)

The reason why i put him because he is the final piece of the puzzle of the lakers last two title runs and he made the all star this year.

[elnopuente]

I think KD is taller than Perkins.. Pwede na yun

Even though he has the size advantage over Perk, KD is playing SF forward since his freshman days in Texas

TALO!

my point is, para matalo ang okc or para manalo ang heat, dapat lakihan na nila ang lamang, tulad nga ng sinabi ng isang poster, sa 3rd at 4th umaarangkada ang thunder,kaya pag hindi nacontrol ng heat ang 1st half, goodluck sakanila,pero ibang storya nung game 2, di talaga nakahabol until the last minutes of the fourth kung san napakakonti ng oras para macomplete ang comeback.

Game 3 na bukas, kung sino manalo tomorrow,malaki ang control sa series, 2-1 advantage and mental advantage,IMO magiiba takbo ng series after Game 3.

[gotta lick it]

the mental advantage is with the MHeat. beside DWade and LJames, the other players are contributing.

unlike with the OKCThunders, the scoring load is concentrated between KDurant and Westbrook. not even JHarden is putting up a championship performance.






the team with a deeper and hungrier bench will win the title. and of course, the deeper the bench the more fouls to give especially how the referees are calling the game.

MIAMI – The Miami Heat are proud of their home court prowess and expect to use that confidence in Sunday’s third game of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, LeBron James said on Saturday.

“You always want to be dominant at home and protect home. You want to try to establish that,” James told reporters after practice at the American Airlines Arena where the Heat will host Game Three of the best-of-seven series.

Miami, whose 28-5 home mark tied them with the San Antonio Spurs for best in the NBA’s regular season, evened the series 1-1 with Thursday’s road win in Oklahoma City, and both teams were trying to find the right frame of mind for Game Three.

The next three games will be played in Miami, and a home sweep would turn the Heat into NBA champions.

“When people come into the building they feel like they’re at a disadvantage already before the game starts,” three-time National Basketball Association (NBA) most valuable player James said.

Kevin Durant, who at age 23 has led the NBA in scoring average three times, reversed the psychology and said the Thunder relished the challenge of a big game on the road.

“I think the best thing about being on the road is you have to come together as a group even more,” said Durant, who has averaged 34 points to 31 points for James in the first two games.

“Everybody in the stands is against you. The other team, of course, is against you, so it’s kind of fun being like the villain on the road. We’re looking forward to a tough Game Three. It should be fun.”

Chris Bosh, showing signs of returning to full strength after missing nine playoff games with an abdominal strain, said the Heat were looking to press their advantage.

“There is pressure on both teams to win this game. We have a home court advantage now. We want to keep it that way,” said Bosh, who had 16 points and 15 rebounds in Miami’s Game Two win as he returned to the starting lineup.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra was trying to see things from the Thunders’ perspective.

“They’ve had two days probably to get beat up, and people to come up with whatever story line and motivation for them,” said Spoelstra. “We have to handle our mentality and make sure it’s aggressive and attacking tomorrow.”

Oklahoma City suffered from poor starts in each of the first two games, overcoming a 13-point deficit in the first half to win Game One before losing 100-96 in Game Two after falling behind 18-2 in the first quarter.

“We got off to a bad start. That’s obvious to everybody,” said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. “There’s a lot of things that we could have done better, and hopefully, Game Three we do better.”

Spoelstra gave the Heat the day off on Friday to rest and get away from the playoff grind, but shifted gears on Saturday.

“Today starts the bunker mentality,” he said. “We have to get our mindset right, very similar to what we had with the road warrior mentality in Game Two.

“Our mentality on the road, where we only had each other, we have to make sure that we create that here because nothing is guaranteed.”

Bosh said he believed the home crowd would make a difference.

“The crowd is going to be loud, they’re going to work in our favor and we’re going to play the best game of all season tomorrow,” he said.

“Just to be back in this atmosphere is great and we have a chance to really do something special with three in a row.”

Let's go MIAMI HEAT!

[Roborat9]

ganda ng laro nila so this is what I can say...

Mayayari and OKC kasi hindi kaya ng OKC deoDURANT ang ANGHEAT ng team hehehehehe

[almostthere]

The reason why i put him because he is the final piece of the puzzle of the lakers last two title runs and he made the all star this year.

No. Bynum was, at most, the 4th option of that team.

He had to play behind Kobe, Pau and Odom. Even Fisher had a bigger impact because of his veteran savvy.

Bosh said he believed the home crowd would make a difference.

“The crowd is going to be loud, they’re going to work in our favor and we’re going to play the best game of all season tomorrow,” he said.

Chris Bosh high as f*ck, thinking that the Miami crowd will help put pressure on the Thunder. The Heat's home crowd makes the celebs at Staples Center seem like die hard college basketball fans

[calvinzero]

Honestly, OKC is tough to beat. No doubt.

Seryoso Boom at TJ Manotoc? Hahaha! May mga naniniwala pa pala sa dalawang walang kwentang yan. Tip ko sayo makinood ka nalang sa kapitbahay nyo kung wala kang BTV. Lalasunin lang ng dalawang yan utak mo.

[downtown24]

Pero honestly, Heat talaga ang gutom sa Finals na to. Ibang tao sinasabi na Thunder daw kasi kakagaling sa talo. Eh ang Heat kakagaling sa talo sa Finals last year eh, plus yung factor na si LeBron eh talagang gusto ng manalo ng unang singsing nya. Daming galit sa Heat dahil sa Big 3. Eto na ang chance na ma-prove nila sa sarili nila na worth it lahat ng ginawa nila.

[the_BuGs]

.... lucky yung pagkapanalo ng Heat?

[karlo_12]

go westbrook!! keep jacking up shots! sana nakatapahoho pa din tong lokong to! sya din pumapatay sa team nila eh

this guy is an enigma, hangang hanga ako sa athleticism nito kayang kaya nya durugin lahat ng depensa sa slashing nya.. pero mababa talaga bball iq..

tignan nyo na lang gaano kaingay AAA bukas, it may not be as wild as OKC's pero lalaban sa paingayan yan bukas..
