Exactly.

I don't mind him taking open threes, though he's taking 10 in a game? Jeez.

The Heat are better than what they displayed today, they just need to show up and play.

If you saw the game, you know all of the stupid mistakes that the Heat made. They basically gave the game away with the stupid turnovers and not making the shots that they should've made.

Don't bother answering or explaining anything to him. He doesn't understand the rules of basketball.

Cuz Wade was making them. But you live and die by the three, but that wasn't the problem in this game.

Wade missed his midjumpers too until late in the 4th. The whole team just failed. There were a couple who showed up in the game, like O'neal and James Jones (lol). They just gave the game away.

I rather Wade shoot like 3-4 threes, but I just dread of the stupid turnovers that they made in the game. They basically said:

"Even though we have a chance of winning, we are going to stop our momentum and give you the ball."

They didn't even give the ball to the hot hand, which was James Jones. It was poor basketball. They didn't even connect well when they pass the ball. There were only a couple of good ball movement, but everything else were just stupid/lazy shots. They miss a few open shots too.

Regardless of all that, the Hawks didn't play all the well either. If Wade would've kept his mind in the game, the game would've been close and the Heat might've won. Especially if Wade teammates didn't make those little mistakes.

Something about that guy pisses me off and it seems to piss other players off too. He reminds me of Sasha THE MACHINE

Good win for them. Strange offense.

lol at people thinking I've just been negative about this team all that time. These guys suck.

A typical high school team has more sense than the hawks.

We agree for once.

Wow, talk about an empty feeling.

I'm changing my prediction once again. Whoever wins this next game, is winning the series.

I concur.

[hawkfan]

The most important player for the Hawks in terms of getting over the hump and winning is Zaza:

Game 1: 10 points, 10 rebounds - Hawks win.
Game 4: 12 points, 18 rebounds - Hawks win.

Games 2 and 3 saw JO have good games and Miami won.

When Zaza plays well, the Hawks pretty much always win. When he doesn't, the Hawks lose.

Unfortunately he has had games of 18 rebounds one game, and then 3 rebounds, 5 fouls the next game.

I hope he has a good game next time out.

Yup

Game 5 should be a classic.
