What are the Heat supposed to do?

[SacJB Shady]

Im starting to think if they lose it's really not their fault. But the Thunder are stacked. If Lebron and Wade had Perkins, Collison, and all these role players they would be great too. So in a way it's not really fair because even though Miami has the big 3, they don't have the same stacked athleticism as the thunder, so it's kind of not fair in a way. If the Thunder win, it's only because they are overly stacked. I bet if you put James on the thunder to replace durant, they be just as good.

you sound mad that your team is going to get stomped

[PyrrhusX]

Why won't people get it through their heads that Lebanon chose his team? The thunder developed and built from the draft. Rather than bet everything on 3 players we have a team.

Stop making excuses for lebrons decision to commune and form a big three

sooo the Heats need the most stacked team to win. Well, so does the rest of the teams in the NBA!

[RaininTwos]

they'll be fine

[Velocirap31]

It was game 1 ISH. Settle down. I remember SA taking games 1 and 2 and the types of threads being made then.

[amfirst]

The prob with the Heat is that they need a true scorer like Durant and dude that will just fire away and not scared.

Heats were on fire from the three in the first half they will not play much better in later games.

wow...reasoning after 1 game loss?? :lol

[Micku]

Not really. Wade is sucking pretty bad. He is not playing up to his caliber throughout this playoffs. Westbrook is better than him on the offensive end. Bosh sucked too. If Wade show up a bit more than it'll give them more of a chance. Bosh too.

They have to adjust their defense against the Thunder.

[Velocirap31]

They were awful in the second half though.

[SacJB Shady]

Yea just cuz they said it doesn't mean it is enough. that's my point.

[Blue&Orange]

It's pretty obvious what the Heat should do, they should give their best and pray a lot to avoid being swept.

[GOBB]

SPO needs to draw up plays

[SCdac]

It's not about having a stacked team, it's about having a complete team. The Mavericks weren't necessarily stacked, they were complete. Same for the the Thunder. Instead of using the MLE on a Mike Miller or Shane Battier type, Miami should bolster their front court. Udonis Haslem should be a great big off the bench at this point in his career, and Joel Anthony has no upside or elite skills. Last season it was Erick Dampier, Zydrunas, and Magloire.

[SpecialQue]

But I thought it wasn't fair when Wade, Lebron and Bosh teamed up and started dominating the east?

[PickernRoller]

Work on their jumpers, that's what they should do.

[CelticBaller]

But I thought it wasn't fair when Wade, Lebron and Bosh teamed up and started dominating the east?
the faggets met their match, now its not fair for them :oldlol:

[knicksman]

all they need is a jumper. Lebron and wade doesnt have it and they dont have the refs to give them 20+ fts so they are just getting exposed. thats why lebron and wade has always been overrated.

[PyrrhusX]

They were awful in the second half though.

Exactly, they cooled off.
Its not gonna get any easier for the heat now that the thunder have shaken off the jitters and feel mighty fine after an incredible comeback.

[Kingwillball]

Relax, Heat are going to win this series..Talk about Overreaction.. Look at Boston after Gm 1 people were talking Heat Sweep.. When OKC went down 0-2 people were Already Booking Spurs title.. People need to relax..

you realize the Thunder haven't lost a game at home in the playoffs? and there's really nothing to suggest they will. It's got to be worrisome for the Heat - they're going to have to win on the road.

Lets see what happens Gm 2..

[305Baller]

the heat and thunder are even, teh Heat just needs to play more disiplined than they have all post-season. It will be harder than the Celtics...

[ElPigto]

We can touch on, "look at the Spurs they won the first two games and where are they now" or we can also say, "well look at the celtics, they were up 3-2 and where are they now", here is the deal homies, Thunder is a much better team than those teams. They are well balanced, well oiled machine, with the best player in the NBA (yes I believe KD is the best) with a top PG and a top SG. They have great individual defenders, good interior defense and good leadership. This is just a much better team than the Heat. Could the Heat win, possibly, but it's more unlikely that they will win this series.

[PyrrhusX]

Heat fans should remember that James harden was a non factor in this game. There role players are not always gonna knock down a hail of 3s too

[Droid101]

you sound mad that your team is going to get stomped
First post in 3 years registered!

[ElPigto]

If the Heat would use Bosh more, it definitely would help. They simply do not utilize him as much as they should. We all know that's the coach's fault.

[AMISTILLILL]

OP thinks the Warriors aren't a bottom-feeder; is a p.haggot.

[sixerfan82]

lol Thunder are not stacked

Stacking is LeBron, Wade and Bosh all in their primes, plus solid roleplayers. ****, how much more talent do they need?

The Thunder were built largely through drafting and are not in their primes. They are a very young team. The Heat are in their primes and sought out the other most-talented players in their primes to try and create a super-team. That is shameless stacking.

[Dave3]

Couple things they can do:

1. Counter Durant with length. Keep Battier on him, but have LeBron and Bosh take turns too. Obviously when Bosh is on him be ready with the help defense, but the length will bother him because Durant's first instinct is the jumpshot, even though he is very quick. Have LeBron also start on Durant and play him physical in the beginning to try and prevent him from getting too hot right from the start.

2. When LeBron is on Durant, have Battier and Wade take turns playing defense on Westbrook, and have them always aware of his fast break, making sure they get back on defense the moment the Thunder get a rebound.

3. Remind LeBron he's not a shooter, he's a slasher and scorer. He scored all of his points going to the rim and posting up (except for one 3). Did he get Alzhiemers? He should know he's not a shooter by now, and he should realize he's unstoppable going to the rim, so he should do it.

4. Bosh should stop shooting 3s. Yes he made a couple against Boston, but if that's your gameplan, look to lose in 5 games.

5. Continue to start LeBron/Bosh as the 4/5, and get the ball to whoever has the mismatch. If Durant is on LeBron that means Ibaka is somewhere shading off a shooter, most likely Battier. If Ibaka is on LeBron and LeBron doesn't take it to the rim, then you're completely ruining a match up.

6. Wade should be making more cuts and LeBron should be looking for him to get him looking.

7. LeBron didn't actually play terribly against Sefalosha, he just missed a couple of shots he should be able to make. He was able to get those shots though because he posted him up and he was able to get closer to the rim. Have the shooters more spread out so LeBron has more space, and also start the post up deeper before using your dribble to maximize your options.

8. Every time Wade shoots a 3, he's fined 10,000$.




I think with that they should stand a very good chance for game 2. You have to give props to the Thunder and Durant though, they were beastly.

less turnovers, better transition defense

[SacJB Shady]

I believe that if the heat had just one more star who can score, or just one more sick player period, they would win it. Like even a Carmelo or an Ellis. They wouldn't be a complete team still, but with that firepower there would be no excuse.

Dwayne Wade

They should be cruising with the team they have already. Two top 5 players in the league and another top 20, and your suggesting adding Melo or Ellis to make the team more complete? :roll: Whatever you are smoking I'll take some too please.

What i was saying about the heat is true. Look at how they can't beat OKC. OKC has more stars and good players. OKC has more talent.

And stop making fun of the warriors. How immature is that? Sure they have been a bottom team, but that was to get the draft. Don't get in this argument with me about my team. Please.

Well, all OKC needs to add is a couple of competent scoring bigs and they'd really be set. Could you imagine this lineup?

Westbrook
Harden/Sefolosha
Durant
Blake Griffin or Kevin Love
Roy Hibbert

Man, we'd be even more unbeatable than Ellis-Wade-Carmelo-LeBron-Bosh. Might as well throw in Manu, KG, and Ray Allen to bring off the bench, too. Screw the salary cap.

[Phong]

Cry in the locker room.

[JustinJDW]

Well for one they need to attack the basket much more. They got two of the best slashers in this series by far and now they want to get into a shooting contest with Kevin Durant. Guess who's loosing that one every time?

Isn't that what Haslem, Chalmers, Battier, Miller and Anthony are supposed to be? It's hard to fill out a roster when you get 3 players taking up all your cap space. You get stuck signing has-beens like Battier and Miller for your cap exceptions. But that's the way they chose to build their team, so they only have themselves to blame. No excuses.

Do you realize how hard it is to drive into the paint esp during 4th quarters?Thats why lebron disappears during 4th quarters coz he doesnt have a jumper to fall back to. Jumpshooters wins in this league. Bostons big 3 are great shooters thats why they won.
