F@ck the Heat. Go Celts. Great win.
Wade had a pretty good look but I question why he was going for a 3....kind of like the Game 4 against the Knicks.
Great game. Best one so far in either conference final.
I can't believe I have been rooting for the Celtics
Spurs better GET IT TOGETHER AT HOME!
Damn OKC Thunder it aint there time yet
But they played well at home &
Guys on SA like Danny Green is horrible & throw in Boris Diaw ‘who’ just Killing the Spurs.
If I were Greg Popo I'd sit Danny Green's tail down he looks lost and seems to have green light to shoot blanks
to get out of funk. It be nice to see some passing or other things from him
Boris Diaw ? He is Fat and needs to be off the floor
aint worth the time in this series
At Least Gary Neal is competing and for a young guard isn't flustered, Green been in league few yrs and looks like he
shouldnt even be playing varsity school ball. So much for Greens success in the regular season.
Same for K.Leonard whom is going be a star in league one day. Maybe occassionally
D.Blair got some time and should be replacing these Suckas NO ONE outside Spurs big 3 has stepped up to help Spurs big 3
other than Leonard consistently.
No time to fuss with Diaw (sux) and Danny Green may as well be Danny Granger

Playing in Boston without Lebron? The odds that Miami would have beaten Boston in the 2nd overtime are extremely low. Their best chance at winning the game was hitting that 3 pointer at the end of the first OT.

the odds of Wade making a three is even lower. His jump shot has been on vacation with Landry's.

No way. Wade's hitting slightly less than 1 in 3 3s. In contrast, if the two teams are exactly even, playing at full strength, and on neutral territory, obviously it would be 50/50 in a second overtime. However, if you take a 2 pointer to try to force a 2nd OT, you have roughly a 50% chance of that shot going in. THEN you're on the road with the player who carries your team out. If Miami made the 2 pointer (at best a 50/50 gamble), then I'd generously give them a 1 in 5 but it might be more like 1 in 10 chance of winning on the road in double OT without Lebron. Don't forget Bosh is out too. In other words, you need to make a 50/50 2 point shot just to have a 1 in 5 or 1 in 10 chance of winning in double OT. Or Wade could win it with a 3 pointer that he hits about 30% of the time. The 3 pointer is a much better gamble - 5 to 10 times better than the 2.

You do know Wade attempted only 56 3's during the regular season, hitting 15 (27%). It's like asking a Derek Jeter to hit a Home Run in the bottom of the 9th to win the game with 2 strikes, unlikely to happen, more likely to happen is he hitting a liner. Wade's always been a poor 3 pt shooter, got even worst this year, not his forte.

25, 30, 35% on 3s? Whatever. The other strategy has about a 5% chance of working. A 50/50 chance of making a 2 just to have a 1 in 5 chance to win in overtime = 10% (.5 * .20), and I don't think that Heat team without Lebron or Bosh even had a 1 in 5 chance in the next over-time anyway. Most people don't appreciate that the probability of two events occurring (making a 2 and then winning in the next overtime) is the *multiplicative product* of those two events.
man at end of 1st half clock ending
when Danny Green took his practice shot and Westbrook snuck up vicious to smack shot away forcefully
If I were NBA Spur's role player I'd Clock that move & take his ass out & both R.Westbrook and myself
be suspended for few these games,
Foolish yep
but homey dont play that !
Refs need to let these guys play. Its the playoffs. No time for ticky tack fouls. The refs should not be in the discussion in these games.
I want the Knicks to be as good as OKC or SA so badly.
This game is crazy entertaining. The Manu explosion was usurped by a Durant explosion. Do the Spurs have another run left in them?
if just we had acquired Tony P back when he was kinda on the trading block
The Spurs with another furious rally....and I don't think the Thunder are going to be able to hold them off...
Duncan could've been the greatest big man of all time
HARDEN with the devastating dagger 3!
