Am playing under 188(-120), playing Miami team ttl under 93. In their 103 pt outburst in game 2, nearly everyone important except James and wade shot a minimum of 50% from the field.look at the boxscore! This plus turnovers is why they were ahead the whole game waiting for James to hit at least a few shots(16 pt in a game this important?? To me that's inexplicable!)I don't look for sa to commit the same careless turnovers, and Miami's role players r unlikely to shoot 50% or better as a group back to back .following their explosive victories like Sunday(the ones following playoff losses) Miami scored over 90 just once, 80's or 70's more likely to me. Will consider playing the alternate under later, line may go up.gl w ur choices
Game three finals
- Thread starter edludes
- Start date
As for San Antonio on offense , I don't see it coming much easier than Sunday.Miami knows they have to bring it defensively, and their defensive points against score is 87 based on their last 4 playoff games.they r nt going to be easy to light up with a second championship in sight. San Anton is kind of in a must win situation here, can't give back home court in their first of three home games or their chances go down big time.this will b a scratch and claw playoff game.feel the only threat to the under is possible ot. Show around 171 ttl
Had Miami ttl dialed, game ttl had every chance to stay under, wasn't meant to b. I am playing san Antonio's ttl under 94- in game 4 for the max.I am betting under Gary Neal and/ or green points scored as props in game 4.that was waaaay more than one games worth of scoring from the team and those two players I sez.
Does anyone still want to argue that James doesn't look tired.can't believe my eyes.next game, can't wait...
He's not tired, he got completely shut down, and he couldn't get his game going.
Also, are we all forgetting that there are 2 other superb players that they have on the Miami team that are not playing well?
If Miami wants to win a championship, they're all going to have to contribute. Especially against this well coached Spurs team.
They brought the "BIG THREE" together to win championships, not the BIG ONE.

They don't have 1 other superb player, let alone 2. Watching Wade is almost sad at this point. Bosh has the talent, but is a giant pussy
I believe that these guys are still superb players. It's just that nothing is going their way at all right now. It's just sad to watch. But like I said, they put these 3 stars together to win championships. They didn't bring just 1 star to come to Miami to win championships. If that were the case... LeBron should have just stayed in Cleveland. If LeBron doesn't get 2 ribgs with Miami. I believe he's going home, Cleveland.
If he's being shut down then that ends the Jordan comparisons for any sane person.Jordan never had series of games in the playoffs like James last three.plus his man is outscoring him .He is anything but jordanesque.
Is think his skill set is superior then jordans
I just think his mentality is not the same
Not the killer instinct yet.
If he gets that, then perhaps he could be closer to jordan....until then, I agree, just a great player like pippen and barkley.
Noone physically is close to lebron.
Jordan's competitive nature is what made him a ferocious defensive player.yes his extreme mental toughness combined w the awesome physical talent is what made him Jordan. I done care if James is a superior physical specimen, Jordan willed his team through every situation like the one James is in, and to my eye James has not come close to being able to do this against the best his era has to offer.relegates him to a discussion of who's second best forever if he fails in this series.
"There's a pervasive idea that we shouldn't be rational about the Heat because the Heat hyped themselves in 2010."
Wade is a shell of his former self. His body is completely broken down. What he is right now, is barely 'starter' level of play. All that hype is bs and media circus garbage.
The Heat are not a great team as currently constructed. Period. They have made 3 finals in 3 years though(with 1, maybe 2 titles). Tough to argue that as being unsuccessful in my mind.
Who is "they?" Lebron and his buddies went to South Beach because that's where they wanted to live and play together. That's the way I see it.
Still thinking about this: Jordan had great big giant balls in an athletic context. He used his awesome skills right in everybody's face. James doesn't have the guts or courage or self belief to impose his awesome physical talent on his opponent, or the smarts to figure out how to do so Its disappointing, I wanted to see him figure it out.
Jord- re James 's" skill set " being superior to Jordan he isn't close to being as good an outside shooter as Jordan.sorry but I think u r way wrong about that.
Did I ever say that???
I don't remember ever saying anything about Lebron being any way superior to MJ :shrug:
MJ is the GOAT by a long shot IMO.
They as in the Miami organization and of course the big three. I hope you're just pulling a fast one and yanking my chain Jord. Im not going to believe that you're basically saying.... James, Bosh, and Wade took less money just to live and play together? :shrug:
I'm not yanking anything. Nobody took much less. And of course, they thought/think they can win multiple titles too.
Miami didn't think Wade would break down this quickly and Bosh would be such a pansy. But, again, 3 Finals in 3 years, and lots of money... and this run isn't over this year by any means. I think it worked out/is working out pretty well.... not ideal. But, very few things ever work out exactly as planned.
:toast:
