Bosh coming alive as Heat take a 10 point lead midway thru the 2nd. Indy bench is seriously weak, their gonna have to leave Hibbert and both Georges on the court the entire game if their to have any chance here
Ray Allen came to play tonight
Miami lead 52.33 at HT. Indy look cooked here. Miami controlling the tempo and attacking the basket at will, forcing turnovers with manic defending. Wade, Bosh and Allen finally stepping up in the series. Hibbert and George look lost so far to be honest, hard to see how they can come back here
Pacers are fucked! 
Easy as you like for Miami tonight. Floyd Money Mayweather is one shrewd operator
Floyd is dislikable, but heâs no fool. You wonât lose much money betting on the Heat this year. Tough on the Pacers, but they made a damn fine effort against one of the greatest sides put together.
Saying that, the Spurs have had a nice break and will give the Heat their fill of it, should be a great Finals.
Spurs win in the road in Game 1, Le Bron seemed to be doing it alone of what I saw.
Parker with an unbelievable millisecond shot clock beater to seal the game. Ha it been ruled out youâd have fancied Miami to level it up.
MBB - The Floyd bet was in the game the heat lost, he lost, as far as Iâm aware.

No, he won that bet alright.

He did indeed.
That win sets up the series spectacularly. The Heat are a bit beat up, the Pacers could have set this up perfectly for the Spurs, who in fairness have done likewise once or twice in their time. Iâd be happy with either winning it to be honest, but Lebrons superb season just slightly edges out Duncanâs comeback from the dead.

Bosh was really shit in the last 1/4, which is all I saw. Spurs may have better balance.
Stand corrected on Flyod.
Youâre most likely right on balance, but when it comes to basketball, one player such as Lebron and a lack of a gameplan for handling him on the opposition can do all the damage and turn a series. Bosh is an odd one, when heâs bad, heâs dreadful, incapable of even making a lay up, yet he can go out and dominate a game from nowhere then next time out. The Birdman has become a huge player for Miami this season, heâs hard to like, but impossible to ignore.
Birdman is no more unlike-able than most top level athletes. Heâs had his upâs and downs etc but his comeback story with the Heat this year is hard not to like imo. Lebron proved the truth of Disrealiâs âDamned lies and statisticsâ quotes the other night, wtf good is a triple double when you lose, esp if you are the chosen one, suppoed to lead your team to victory? (insert Joe Canning comments here) Spurs looked rusty, played well within themselves and still beat Miami on their home-court. Duncan, Parker, Manu, and the likes of Green, Splitter and Kuhwy Leonard most of all(TDâs natural sucg2cesor?) and of course the great Popovitch, this has all the makings of a truly epic Finals. That is assuming Heat win tonight, if they donât, itâs over.
So Heat blew out the Spurs in G2 tying the series 1-1. Next 3 games are in San Antonio starting tonight at 2am. Heats big score in G2 maybe not as impressive as it first looks as Pop rested all his big guns in the 4th Q. Spurs will nee to take 2 of 3 at home. If they do this theyâll win the series in 7 imho. If Heat take 2 in SA itâs curtains. Im calling the Spurs in 7
Watched Game 2 earlier, like you said, the scoreline was impressive until you realised Popovic called the contest off in the 4th, which is fair enough given the age profile of his starting 5. Prior to seeing each sides road to here, Iâd have fancied Heat to get it done without 7, but given the rest the Spurs had combined to the chinks exposed in the Heat armour, Iâd say youâre right about a 7. Well at least I hope you are. Still, Iâm going to stay on the Heat bandwagon, LB will get it done.
One other point, Ginobli is still a class act, Parker and Duncan get a lot of notice, but his vision is a joy to watch.

It was a risky enough John Allen-esque strategy by the master Pop(playing his worst possible side for much or the 3rd and pretty much the entire 4th) as it gave a battle-hardened Miami side a real surge of momentum which theyâll clearly be looking to carry into game 3. Pop probably thought the writing was on the wall with the turnover count, 4 in G1 vs 17 in G2, so he said fuck it, itâs worth the risk if I can keep my top guys fresh for the 3 games in San Antonio, weâve already split the opening two games in Miami so mission accomplished in a sense. Weâll see if it pays off tonight.
Heat for their part looked a lot more lethal offensively with the likes of Ray Allen, Mike Miller and Birdman than Bosh, Wade or Haslam. Spoâs rotations will be crucial and Lebron, as ever, will have to be huge and play a hell of lot of minutes. Mario Chalmers had a huge game 2 in fairness but I fully expect Tony Parker to regain the initiative in the battle of point guards back in Texas.
Pops strategy to pay off and Spurs to win tonight by 4 in a classic
In other news the Grizzlies have fired coach Lionel Hollins. Hollins was there for 4 years each of which was an improvement on the last culminating this season in a loss to San Antonio in the Western conference Finals, which as it happens was the best ever season in the franchises history. The mind boggles.
Spurs take an early 11-5 lead, Bosh and Wade have missed about 6 open shots between them. Lebron had done nothing yet, Leonords off to a flyer for SA. Tony Parkers missed his 1st 3 fts. Heat have been notoriously slow starters all season
