Both Miami and Brooklyn have played two horrible games this series as far as I'm concerned. Honestly, Miami played the worst game of basketball in game 2 I have seen from them since the Big 3 lost in the finals against Dallas. The way D wade and Lebron were dribbling - slow motion. Bosh was standing on the perimeter all game. James was waiting until 8 seconds left in the shot clock to make a slow-motion move in the post. The offense looked awful. If Miami can win a game playing like that, than Brooklyn is in trouble in a game 3.
Game 3 and 5 are always the most 2 pivotal games in any series. These are games where stars tend to dominate. With Derron Williams basically playing at 75%, I don't see the Nets winning this game. Williams is most definitely the best player on the Nets and he's struggling right now. I expect a much better effort from him tonight. Having said that, Brooklyn's offensive rhythm is not the same without a true post presence. JJ has to deal with both James and Wade this series, and they're both stronger than him. Tough to post. KG hasn't been getting plays all year and all of the sudden Kidd wants to force feed him. Can talk about this series for much longer. I think this will be a good game but the Heat will really just control it from start to finish.

I told you guys that the SA Port series was gonna be quick. SA has bitched slapped this team twice already. Tonight I expect LA and Wes Mathews to explode. This will be a close game but Portland is gonna be playing with a lot more intensity tonight. The crowd will be rocking there and this is the type of team that feeds off that in a due-or-die situation. I think the Spurs will win one game in Port, just hope its not tonight.
