If Miami Loses Tonight...Who goes?

[vcbasketball15]

obsivously, this is one of the most hyped teams the nba has ever seen. having that title also comes with alot of responsibility. with the star power the heat have, they should have won last years championship. putting that aside, if they lose tonight to the celtics, changes have to be brought to the table. being that wade is the face of the franchise (although some can argue that james is slowly becoming the face) i dont see them getting rid of wade, that and wade is top 5 in the league at his position. lebron is the best overall player in the world, a freak of nature. they would be stupid to trade him.

so that leaves bosh and the coach. they spent 110M on bosh, for 110M you can get 2-3 legit role players to supplement wade and james. i think bosh is headed out if they lose tonight.

i also believe the coach is done too. in the NBA if you dont win, the coach is always blamed after the superstar. spolestra is packing his bags too.

I don't think any of the big three go. I think Spolstra is out...possibly no matter what the outcome of the season is. Perhaps Pat comes back or they make a run at Phil.

Well, Miami has a 23 point lead with 5 minutes left in Boston.  What is different about Spoelstra tonight vs two nights ago?

Boston shooting under 10% from behind the ark helps. You can support Spoelstra all you want but he's an average head coach at best (by all means much better than I could do). When a team can't produce good quality shots from running plays I think that's on the coach. Just give the ball to LeBron and run things through him seems to be their best offense (not saying I disagree with that), but it's tough to live by that the last two minutes of a game when the game is on the line and the other teams defense plays at a higher intensity. I believe you have said you are a diehard Celtics fan...I think you could agree they didn't have a very good game. LeBron won that game tonight, from start to finish.

Agree _ never have seen LeBron shoot that well all game from the outside.  Tough job for Celtics now in  Miami

[vcbasketball15]

lebron was simply on fire tonight.it helped that boston couldnt buy a bucket from outside. if the lebron that showed up tonight shows up saturday in miami then miami takes it. boston has won in miami before,anything can happen.  gonna be a great game to cap an already great series.

I don't get to watch much of the heat before the playoffs and someone can help me out here if I am wrong. It seems to me that they go as LeBron goes. What I mean by that is...they are better, much better, when he gets the Jordan and Kobe syndrome...give me the ball. I believe for his talent, he is extremely unselfish and it hurts them when he is. Wade has not shown up this series at all. LeBron just needs to play like he did in Cleveland...just do it all. Should be a good game. Maybe this game from LeBron will shut Skip Bayless up...lol.

i doubt that lol he hates lebron with a passion. and i agree with you there. he needs to play selfish. one of the reasons why i hated seeing him to go the heat in the first place.

If it were that easy, Miami would have won 4 straight against both Indiana and Boston.  LeBron is not going to shoot from the outside very often as he did Thursday night

[Let’sGetAlong]

I know it's not easy, but this is what I see from him a lot of games. He'll score 12 of the first 20 or so and then he'll quit shooting and end up with 16-18 at the half. He didn't do that tonight. He continued to shoot and I think that's what he needs to do.

ive watched alot of miami heat basketball this year, and most of the games its either wade or lebron with the hot start in the first qtr....as the games went on it was really up to who was shooting good that night. there would be some nights(once in a blue moon) where bosh would start off like 6-8 and then let bron or wade take over.

Seems to be though in the playoffs that LeBron starts off hot almost every game and then takes a step back instead of going forward. He didn't do that last night.

[vcbasketball15]

exactly. its been driving me up the wall the entire playoffs. its like hes trying to let wade get his 22.....take the game over!  he plays like that the whole playoffs they win 12 straight and are in the finals waiting on the thunder.
