Did Miami Intentionally "Lay Down" In Game 3?

rake922 · 06-11-13, 10:26 PM

no they got outplayed

ChalkyDog · 06-11-13, 10:30 PM

This game, we were Witness to what good coaching means.

byronbb · 06-11-13, 10:30 PM

Thats what the Spurs did in game 2.

Popcorn Trick · 06-11-13, 10:40 PM

Refs took the life out of them....Rookie mistake by me, I thought second half Miami would roll because of bs in 1st. Forgot that it eventually takes it's toll on a team. Refs jumped out in front and never looked back. Good game.

Deuce · 06-11-13, 10:45 PM

They got buried by two nobodies.

DrAwInGdEaD · 06-11-13, 10:46 PM

Yea they did, and they will lay down game 4 and 5 too.

ChalkyDog · 06-11-13, 10:50 PM

I also don't think one can call this simply laying down.

Heat got bent over, face down ass up - all against their will.

GOAT....

mdemps9190 · 06-11-13, 10:56 PM

How can you even say "the refs" after a 40 point win? The refs are finally letting these teams play (both ways) and it's showing that tic-tac bullshit calls are what has gotten Miami anywhere in the LBJ-era.

Ghenghis Kahn · 06-11-13, 11:02 PM

nothing you can do when all the spur's 3s are going in.

Roadtrip635 · 06-11-13, 11:05 PM

Heat are gonna be in trouble when their most consistent scorer is Mike Miller.......

BennyBigNuts · 06-11-13, 11:05 PM

LAyed down? NO
Quit? 100%

Nothing new with the Heat. They are known to quit early in games once dominated.

After witnesseing game 3 I don't see how the Heat can take a game on the road this series.
Could be lights out for Lechoke and his team that he cheated to put together.
Only ring he has was in a shortened season.
This next game will define his career pretty much as being one of he best.

ROFL you dick. Teams don't win games by 36 pts because of refs.

Followed by Udonis Haslem.

Lebron and Wade are the 2 worst. They both are scared as hell to shoot the rock.

Wade is THE worst

Sure looked like a classic fake out. Lose game three to bring in even more square spurs money and then Boom - heat win next three in classic lebron and wade dominant fashion - careful spurs series backers ...this one is done in six or seven but lebron is taking the ring and the MVP with him...heat it up

Mac4Lyfe · 06-12-13, 02:44 AM

Do you really think Wade is going to develop a jump shot between now and Thursday? The Spurs are going to keep laying waaaaay off of him and invite him to lay bricks. They are committed to packing in the lane and fall for Wade's bullshit pump fakes.

Lebron has yet to score 20 points in this entire series. Do you really ink he's going to catch lightening in a bottle?

"laid down" might be overly strong and little disrespectful to spurs but it the heat and it wasnt a must win so they do like they do half the time and coasted, usually they can coast and still stay in gms, spurs wernt having that shit and heat wernt about to give max effort in a gm they were getting it taken to them...im sure you will see max effort heat in gm 4 if that what you mean.. gotta love this team, i mean not from a point of respecting their habit of coasting but it nice you can just wait for them to lose then pound them the next gm, something comforting bout predictability..

Now this is a die-hard Heat fan.

did you really just refer to bron scoring as "catching lightning in a bottle"..cmon bro you better than that...all a sudden if bron starts getting more aggresive and scoring it like some fluke occurrence?

in fairness you were responding to a almost equally ridiculous post but still i expect more from you..

We have 3 games where Lebron has failed to score 20 points. Do you think that's by accident? Should we expect Lebron to put up 40 all of a sudden? I think it's very fair to say that he probably does what he's been doing and not all of a sudden go on some crazy scoring spree?

The Spurs are playing off of Lebron, not giving him anything in the lane. He's not getting cheap free throws and have to earn all his points via jumpshots. Now, I think he can go off and score 30 on jumpshots but it's not nearly as easy as most people think it is. Whatever the case, the Spurs have Lebron totally out of sorts. He looks lost and disinterested out there. I put more stock in Popovich then I do Spo so I'm not sure if the Heat are going to figure this out. Why do you think it's a ridiculous notion?

The best part about all this in my mind, is that if the Spurs can pull this off and beat the Heat, then we NEVER have to entertain a 'MJ vs. Lebron, who's the greatest?' conversation ever again because you simply look at their finals records.

Conversation over.

2daBank · 06-12-13, 03:41 AM

No faith in spo, ill never argue the coaching matchup clearly. Plenty of faith in bron figuring some things out and extreme faith that he is ultra aggressive in gm4... Honestly I'm not saying w/o a doubt heat win series, I thought they would and still do but said all along I think it goes 7. zig zagging all the way. I been wrong before but ill take best player on planet to respond like he has every time the last 2 years.

lol the butthurt is strong from this knicks fan.

coach>spurs
point guard>spurs
age>spurs (green, neal, leonard)
home court>spurs
refs? . . probably heat
star factor>heat

betting heat game 4 makes no sense at all, but somehow i think heat are the play

Sportsbetting123 · 06-12-13, 05:51 AM

Would be great to see the Spurs do this in the next 2 games but I think the Series will go back to Miami where the Spurs win it there.

oiler · 06-12-13, 06:00 AM

they are not that good that they could beat s when they want,so hell no ,they were outplayed and looked like it

Albert Pujols · 06-12-13, 06:05 AM

Maybe you didn't see the Spurs hit a million threes. They just got their asses kicked. Series may not even go back to Miami. Spurs take this series. I wonder if any tools bet the Heat +31 prop at 5 Dimes at -20,000 or whatever it was.

Albert Pujols · 06-12-13, 06:08 AM

The Big 3? Try the Big 1, who isn't half the player MJ was.

Yes, but you really don't even have to go that far. If anyone thinks Lebron is comparable to Jordan they are an idiot. Period.

str · 06-12-13, 07:28 AM

Neither team is as good as they look when they win or as bad as they look when they lose.

All you had to do is watch that game last night....LJ no free throws and not even looking for his shot

Slammy · 06-12-13, 07:39 AM

I doubt Jordan would of ever allowed his bulls to get beat like that in an championship game.

Chi_archie · 06-12-13, 07:42 AM

of course they laid down and lost this on purpose

did you see the way the Heat were guiding all those 3's taken by the Spurs into the basket by sheer lay down will power?
