2 Sad Performances From Home Team


With the series at 3-1 in favor for the San Antonio Spurs, the Miami Heat had better find the energy to match the Spurs or whatever they have left to try and win another series game before being beat by the same team they caught off guard last year with the series at 3-2 and a dire game 6 win that sparked the Heat championship. 

The keys to San Antiono's success from the last two games have been good leadership, players stepping into their roles and players coming off the bench and giving great minutes. A prime of example Patty Mills, coming in playing 16 minutes, 5/8 from the floor, 14 points and 2 assists. 

The spotlight has been taken this series by Spurs Forward Kawhi Leonard, the kid can just play good basketball. 

Tonight, Lenoard posted another 20 point ball game to help lift the series lead to 3-1 . He's dominated Lebron James when guarding him, crashed the boards averaging 6 rebounds a game and shooting 50% from the floor. The heat just can't seem to find an answer for him. 

As for the Heat the "Big 3", it's really become  a "Big 2", with Lebron and Chris Bosh averaging 27 points and 16 points this post season. D.Wade and Chalmers need to step their game up only averaging a combined 29 points this post season. Tonight especially , Wade continued to struggle from the floor going 3/13 and Chalmers going 2/6 for 4 points. 

As a die hard Miami Fan I'd hate to see the possible 3 Peat of a Championship completely demolished by a tenacious San Antonio Spurs. 

So Miami better step it up in San Antonio, Sunday @8pm, the place where they were routed 110-95 or be ready to go home with the same disgusted feeling in they were left with in 2010 Playoff series in Dallas.
