    Hahaha this is great. Also both teams were top 10 in 3pt FGA I believe. So much for all those guys saying you can't win shooting the 3 a lot. It's a key component to the NBA game today.

    I wonder what the spread will be for the next game. I can't see anything more than -3 or -4 for San Antonio, but I could also see it lower and at/or around 2 again because Vegas knows everyone will hop on Miami to win the next game.

    Miami down 26, Wade and LeBron still in there. Same as it's been the whole playoffs.

    Won't be -4 I can promise you that. I'd guess -2.5

    two of the elite three point shooting teams in the NBA

    but I was hearing more of the "all the good teams shoot threes well, you have to shoot them well to win" (announcers harping on this all playoffs)

    Memphis and Indiana were two of the final four

    Miami was second in the NBA in 3%, San Antonio tied for 4th with the Knicks.

    If there was ever a time to just end a game early, this is the time.

    Also, TV is going to be unbearable over analyzing this blowout and Lebron's play or lack of it. Just as it was leading up to this game with the Heat blowout. It's the first to 4 wins. SA halfway there.

    Memphis and IND got key 3 point shooting, but they were also teams built in the opposite way of the smaller teams that relied on 3 point shooting. They were the other extreme, not a lot of teams can get 2 talented big men that can play 2 ways extremely well.

    could've been worse

    LeBron did somehow wind up with a double-double

    neither of those teams had anyone who shot the 3 particularly well

    SA and Miami each have like 4 guys who could be the best shooter on those teams

    Miami ML Thursday night :beer: I was really contemplating hopping on MIA to win the Series for even money when they were down 1-0 but I backed off and decided to stick to game by game plays.

    Indiana 22nd in the NBA, Memphis 24th

    so the conference finals each pitted an elite shooting team against a poor shooting team

    Heat had problems from the start. Millers 5/5 hid that at halftime.

    Like I said after the Heat beat us, each game is its own entity, game 4 will be close.

    why should game 4 be close? Could easily see another blowout one way or the other

    Battier has really become an awful player. If he can't shoot anymore...

    Battier in limited action in the playoffs is shooting about 21% from the field

    I know, but they had players some players play well and shoot better than they had all season from 3 to help out from teams collapsing inside. They didn't have good shooters, but they had shooters who were shooting good. I mean look at the IND/MIA series even, George shoots 36% from 3 in the regular season, 44% in the IND/MIA series. George Hill shot 38% from 3 in the regular season, 44% in the IND/MIA series.
