And Bosh played about as badly as any time during the last series. Wade did too. Sure he shot near 50%, but Wade's game is so much deeper than that. That said, Miller gave them more than I think they should expect and yeah, the Spurs missed a lot of open 3's. | ||

Heat are one of the worst rebounding teams in the league (thoe Spurs aren't one of the best they are statistically better). Rebounds, on either side of the ball don't give the most impact on your chances of winning. No matter what the morons on TV say. SA beat the top rebounding league in the last round in 6, and Miami only won 1 game iirc rebounding wise vs Indiana. | ||

I'm not trying to say that it's a deciding factor, just that it's one more stat the Heat won in a losing effort. It certainly didn't hurt the Heat. Obviously 18rebounds from James have a lot to do with that. Making up for the failures of the dinosaur on the team. Wonder if the Heat are having any JJ. Berea flashbacks? Parker is him x2. | ||

 Was a good game--Miami will be ruing a lot of missed open shots. Bosh needs to be banned from taking threes unless he's in that favourite corner of his. [Ok, wow, maybe not. Apparently Bosh is 15/31 from three these Playoffs.] As Ace said before, the rebounding isn't going to be much of an issue this series. Both teams are more interested in establishing their D and controlling the pace of the game rather than contesting the boards so I'm not sure it's going to be much of a factor. | ||

He was the biggest defensive liability on the court tonight, which is saying a lot with Parker and Chalmers out there. And Bosh played about as badly as any time during the last series. Wade did too. Sure he shot near 50%, but Wade's game is so much deeper than that. That said, Miller gave them more than I think they should expect and yeah, the Spurs missed a lot of open 3's. Allen is always a defensive liability now... | ||

SA had 9 days off and had plenty of time to prepare scouting-wise. I figured SA would defend completely differently than Indiana, which they did. SA almost over-helped whenever James or Wade had the ball, forcing them to pass. Indiana did the exact opposite, not helping off of shooters and funneling into Hibbert. I think Miami has to get back into that mode of crisp ball movement and forcing rotations that they didn't always have against the Pacers. On offense tonight, especially in the fourth quarter, they looked a lot of the time like they didn't really know what to do with the ball and were just passing it for the sake of passing it; it didn't look like there was much end result or goal in mind with their offense. That's what happens when you play 7 games against a completely different type of defensive style. I expect them to adapt and iron out the offensive kinks and play a much better game 2. Miami won 66 games primarily beating defenses similar to what the Spurs showed in game 1. Their team was built to beat that stuff; I think their ball movement will look a lot better and their shooters will be a lot more ready in game 2. | ||

They did play a bit lackluster and encounter some issues adapting, it seems. | ||

Offensive rebounds does two things, first give your team a chance to score 2 more points and 2nd prevent the opponent team from doing fast break and score 2 points, against the heats fast break game rebounding is crucial, every rebound is a potential 4 point swing. | ||
