Live By The 3, Die By The 3 - Miami in 7

[NBASTATMAN]

He's shooting somewhere near 70 percent over 5 games. I'd tend to agree but it's 5 games deep and Miami keeps giving him open looks which gets the confidence rolling each time.

The guy is hitting 30 footers like they are layups.. No defense for that.. The Heat just have to help so much cuz they have no interior defense that they are always scrambling.. They just have to hope Green and Neal get cold...

Heat in 9. Spurs might win one more game but in the long run Miami is the better team.

I agree with the "live by the three die by the three", if this was the start of the series and Green shot 70 percent during the last series. Problem is, he's doing it NOW and his confidence is probably through the roof. He just needs to get hot for one more game and it's all over for the heat. Not to mention that the Spurs also have another sharp shooter in Gary Neal. The fact that the Spurs are a team capable of matching the Heat even without getting stupid hot from 3 doesnt help them either.

Nope... Danny Green............... greatest shooter of all time.... Miami has no chance....

Live By The 3, Die By The 3

New DieHard movie title?

[3peated]

remember in 2011 when the mavericks were the 3 point gods who shut down the heat ?

[Blue&Orange]

RAy Allen .647
Mike Miller .769

Green .658
Neal .500

How hard it is to check the numbers before making unintelligent and ignorant claims and remarks?



Why isn't nobody saying the obvious, live by dunks and easy layups die by dunks and easy layups.


This ain't regular season son, no layups allowed.

That line doesn't really apply to this situation.

It makes sense when your shot is being contested, that you'd be living or dying by the 3. However, the heat are not contesting Danny green's 3pointers.

So it's more like, live by the 3, as long as Miami keeps being retarded.

The spurs are openly saying this stuff, they want Miami to overcompensate on Danny green because they know once Miami recognizes green as a threat, it'll open up their go to scorers even more. Green hitting these 3s has been nothing but a bonus. They don't rely on him scoring.

Exactly. It only makes sense when that's all you have. Spurs "live" by their inside scoring w/ Duncan, Parker and Gino. The 3 just opens up the inside. As long as Miami give them the 3, they will take it. But, once they start trying to defend the perimeter, the ball goes inside.

As Pop always say, "It's just basic basketball".
