The Heat missed five shots in the final two minutes of overtime that either would have tied the game or given them the lead, including Eddie House's desperation jumper at the buzzer. Spoelstra said the play was designed for James to get a lob at the rim, an option Utah took away.
"Jerry Sloan is one of the best coaches we have in our league," James said. "He kind of figured out what we wanted to do."
Arroyo is out there because the Heat don't want Lebron or Wade guarding the other team's PGs. It's for defensive match-up purposes.
However, with the way they use Lebron on offense, makes Arroyo irrelevant. Thus, the Heat are basically playing 4-on-5 on offense.
What some of you guys don't realize about Millsap is that he was already Utah's leading scorer coming into this game. We were always gonna let D-will have a good game because we can't defend a pg. We should have been worrying about their next best player in Millsap
Millsap was beasting all game and when your in a zone you can hit at any range, d-will stated he hits those all the time during practice he just hasn't needed to do it during game times since he has a different role. It's not like the guy was a no show all game and then he hit 3 straight 3's in a row.
The thing is, Tmac can actually made 3s, Paul Milsap making 3s is like Glen big baby davis making 3 straight 3s, I swear he sold his soul to the devil,****ing Utah Im glad MJ owned you in the 90s
umm it had to be the mormon devil tho...they are in Utah
To put it in perspective, I havent felt this way since my yankees blew that 04 series to boston, I have never seen something like this happen in a basketball game, Paul Millsap hitting 3 straigth 3s are you kidding me, whats next? Shaq making 15 straight free trows against us on thursday? after the game I felt sick becuase I had just wasted 3 hours of my life and considering not going to college tomorrow
Firstly i notices for a game like this i saw a lot of empty seats!!! I cannot comprehend especially for fan night and playing against one of the elite teams in the league do i not see a sold out arena!!!!! Somebody here also mentioned people were leaving with 4 mins left in the 4th - what in the world is going on.
I didn't read the whole thread, but did anyone point out the sweet revenge this game was for the Debacle In Miami? Which, ahem, Millsap (and AK) played key roles in? Even if the team is wildly different, I like the karma.
Anyone missin this guy?
