Game 2: An anomaly that Spurs fans and Splitter would like to forget



So Lebron took it upon himself to make an ass out of me last night; fair enough. I’m completely ok with that. Can you guess why? It resulted in a victory, however as Steven A likes to say: any statement made that is followed by the word ‘but’, negates everything said before the word ‘but’ was used. So the Heat came out with the victory and Lebron only scored 17 points, ‘but’ this game was a complete anomaly. If Miller, Chalmers, and Ray Ray played like that every game they would be the Big 3. Unfortunately they don’t. Sure Lebron put up numbers that haven’t been seen in 25 years, and good on him. I hate to beat a dead horse but stats don’t win championships (occasionally they win games). If you expect the Heat to win game 3 with Lebron scoring 4 points in the first half, then you are mistaken. If you expect San Antonio’s Big 3 to shoot 10 for 33 again, you are sadly mistaken. Don’t get me wrong, I love what the Heat were able to do last night and I give mad props to Spolstra for the adjustments he made; the high screen and roll with Bron and Chalmers, as well as having Miller and Ray Ray on the court at the same time. That being said, Pop without a doubt will have a new game plan which will rebut the open shots the Heat’s shooters got last game. If you noticed Duncan didn’t even play in the 4th quarter. So before we hand out rings to the Heat let’s slow down and keep things in perspective. If Bosch and D Wade don’t put their fingerprints on the next 3 games in San Antonio, I wouldn’t place too much investment in Chalmers, Allen, and Miller re-producing their performance in game 2 and carrying the Heat to another victory. Oh and if you didn’t think Bron’s block on Splitter wasn’t one of the greatest blocks of all time then something wrong with you.
