^ wow. now that's a strong prediction...going out on a limb with that one

The cocky Heat fan's overall series prediction hasn't changed. I'm going with it being a five games series until Boston can turn back the clock and get a second one. Tonight I predict that Marquis Daniels and Keyon Dooling will play like the journeyman backups they really are. As for Shuttlesworth, his daddy Denzel Washington won't be around to knock down all those 18' jumpers like he did in He Got Game and pre-wheelchair Paul Pierce isn't coming back.

GREAT start by Paul Pierce, Rondo, and Ray Allen.

Refuse to jinx anything though :x

Up by 17, so much for old legs. Who's the old man team here?

KenFSU · June 03, 2012, 11:18:47 PM

97-96 Boston with a minute to go.

Man is this uncomfortable to watch.

What a game.

Thank GOD Boston pulled it out.

Two real questionable fouls on Lebron though (the double foul in the 4th and the offensive foul in OT), a bad traveling call on KG in the 4th, and a couple of weird fouls on Paul Pierce meant that, once again, the refs had way too much influence on this outcome again.

Really excited to have at least two more games of this series to look forward to.

Sucks but a great game. I'm not too concerned about officiating. Miami will get the calls they didn't get in Boston in Miami and vis versa. That's just how the NBA works these days. Guess this makes my prediction officially off. Time for a new prediction. It's only going six. Oh and a message to Pat Riley. Make Lebron spend the next two days practicing how to shoot free throws. Good grief!

Cocky Heat fan is still alive and kicking. Just a little extra theater for the Heat's magical 2012 run for Lebron's first championship. Great last win of the season by Boston.

^Did I mention Cocky Heat fan's ability to transform into Cocky Marlin fan if things don't work out Thursday!

How much of these last three losses do you put on Spoelstra?

thelakelander · June 06, 2012, 08:03:46 AM

At least the last two. End game management has been an issue for the last two years and Bosh should have been on the floor in the 4th last night. Also, I've never been crazy about Battier for 3s this postseason. I'm much more comfortable with Miller and Jones taking those shots. I'll admit that Rivers is playing chess and Spo is struggling with his checkers board.

Time to bring our goon Pittmann off the bench to give Garnett a blast from the past, lol. I was wrong about Jesus Shuttlesworth finding the fountain of youth in Miami. Evidently, the fountain is in Garnett's house.
