NBA FINALS: GAME 3....
SHOCKED at the outcome in this one.
Im not sure if I've ever watched a finals game that seemd so hopeless going in, for a team that eventually won the game.
Games one and two were lopsided affairs - Miami displayed little grit - little fight - and little resistance.
How does LeBron and A.D. lose to a 5 seed Miami Heat team playing WITHOUT their 2nd best player and their starting point guard ?
almost unbelievable.
AD being in foul trouble kept him out of rhythm and less minutes. Butler doesn't have the talent of LeBron, but he's got a great mindset. In this particular game, and we didn't know it was coming, I think having Dragic wouldn't have been good. Jimmy was in 'put the team on my back mode,' Dragic would've cut into his time with the ball. Didn't hurt that guys like Olynyk were hitting.
I wasn't incredibly surprised that MIA won, (I would've bet against it, though), but that they did it w/o Bam and Dragic AND Herro and Robinson were both bricking most of the night...
I'd like to see Bam back soon, and wondering what the coaches come up with.
