Wait no, that breakdown made perfect sense. Thanks for the link.

I am on the other side today. I actually found game 3 to be a poorly played game overall by both teams. Everyone talks about how Harden didnt play well and Durant was in foul trouble, but it wasn't like Lebron, Wade or Bosh had huge nights. I really felt they got workmanlike points and outside of Battier being hot from the 3 point line, I haven't seen Miami play at their peak.

I really feel the difference in this Series is the defense from Miami and the type of shots that Miami creates over OKC. We all know OKC is a jump shooting team and they haven't done anything to change this. The only reason they are not down 3-0 is because Westbrook and Durant couldn't miss their jumpers in Game in the 2nd half/4th Quarter. I am not a huge fan of saying OKC's depth/team is a lot better because Miami has outcoached them by bringing out small lineups and making Ibaka and Perkins useless. This is the first team the OKC has faced that doesnt rely on a big man to create alot of their points. Bosh is a PF but he rarely plays near the rim. In SA, you had two bigs out there, Same with the Lakers and Mavs. Miami can spread them out and since OKC doesnt punish their small lineup on the offensive end. It is a big advantage to Miami. So what does OKC do to adjust? Play Harden and Sefolosha with Durant/Westbrook and one big? Miami takes advantage of that lineup as well and then when you put Derek Fisher out there, he is the worst player on the floor by far. It's a liability that Scott Brooks continues to go to.

I think this is one of the games where Miami opens up a decent lead in this one and I don't think OKC can will themselves back on the road. I thought during Game 3 that if OKC was going to take one, it was going to have to be this one with the way the Heat were playing, but they didnt.

The things I would worry about being a Heat backer in Game 3 would be Officials being pressured to giving OKC calls and Durant and Westbrook hitting their jumpers at an unreal percentage.

Other than that, This Series is advantage Miami everywhere else.
