    I think it's hard to fathom for some that those scoring guards that masquerade as point guards, they're going to get their points. What you want is to make them do is score those points by taking more shots at a lesser %.
    when lin was on lillard, 2 of 7 shooting plus 2 freebies. solid D i say.

    One game. The fact is that if Miami wants to stop one certain player, consider it done. Harden was simply taken out of his comfort zone the last few possession.

    They did the same to Rose 2 season ago, they did it to Harden and Lin, now they are giving it to CP3. Its not rocket science, when you have 2 athletic defenders come at you as a double team, everyone will struggle.

    too early to call... I guess if we can contain at least of the trifecta it's easier to deal with the team

    Only trolls or emotionally unstable sheeps will have a problem and use Miami as an example to put down a player.

    Miami is the current champ, with the best Player in the NBA. Our players did well... and they didnt give up, you cant ask for more. They will grow and learn from experience... we will just have to be patience and enjoy the ride

    Somehow I think Rocket is going to win this game easily as long as Lin can guard Lillard. Somehow I really think Lin need to have a hard foul on him to stop his aggressive defense on Lin, but Lin is just too nice to do it back.

    Please win this game, and Bulls beat the Jazz. I don't care about the Lakers.

    Not I! The point is that Jeremy has learned what he needs to do to make Asik effective, and he's done a fantastic job. I criticized those bad bounce passes, but I don't think I've seen one for two weeks. Sometimes you have to throw it any way you can, but Lin's passes have done a lot to make Asik a force in the middle. And Harden's passing well, too.
