Do the heat have a defensive specialist coach or is it all spoelstra? If they do why isn't that guy on the short list for head coaching gigs?

They do. His name is LeBron James.

I'm yelling at the screen. I'm livid at the refs if I'm a Spurs fan right now.
Wait, you're upset at the officiating if your a SPURS fan??

FG% evening out and obviously the score is too.  San Antonio can kiss the series good bye if they blow this one.

Spurs are so bad at loose balls. Miami gets all of them. It's like watching the Giants recover all their own fumbles against the Pats.

The officiating was pretty bad on both sides for a while there. FTs are just about even.  This is going to be a hell of a 4th quarter.

No call on LeBron doing same then an imaginary charge on Chalmers to stop a Miami run. The calls balanced out but the timing couldn't have been worse for Miami.

Agreed. Same as G2.

Lebron has successfully guarded Parker and Duncan tonight.  For the haters, MJ never did that.

Why are Parker and Green switching there? You can't have Parker on James down low.

Exactly -- refs have been letting total hacks at Duncan and Parker at the rim to get this game under 10 point lead for the Heat.

Ray sinking threes in the playoffs - a sight very familiar to, I guess, Bucks fans.

LeBron NEVER does anything wrong. It's annoying to watch him bitch about everything.
 
Maybe, but Duncan is the biggest whiner in the league and the Spurs are the worst as a team.

LeBron looking lethargic offensively holding the ball and hesitant. Unless that changes this is 2-1 Spurs
