Omg....
The officials actually let an altercation (Wade vs Boguns) slide and didn't give out technicals

Amazing

Boshtrich is feelin' it tonight.


Chicago's offense is not as good as Miami's and that might cost them the series.

4 fouls on Noah and Asik is out with a sprained ankle/foot.

LeBron James has been absolutely terrific tonight.

Excellent defense, strong rebounding and superb playmaking in addition to some good scoring.

LeBron is doing a wonderful job of involving his teammates offensively. Creating a bunch of easy scoring opportunities for everyone. Quicker decisions on the ball, for the most part, by LeBron too. Keeping the halfcourt offense humming. Ball movement. No turnovers either.

Showing today why he is the best player in the league. Dominant.

Chicago's best player has taken 19 shots and only scored 20 points....that's not going to cut it.

Did Miami just find their new closer?

The Boshtrich has finally evolved

I know its still very early...but I think it'll be 2006 finals rematch again.

Bosh is playing against a PF about as soft as he is. He'll go back to being the Bosh we know and love against the Mavs. Chandler will eat his lunch.

Game four is going to be a huge game. Could be a make or break game.

Dallas hasn't faced Miami caliber type of defense yet. They are so quick on the defensive end....it'll be a tough matchup.

I take 2 things out of this series so far...first, I think it was only a matter of time for the Bulls to show their true colors.  Granted the series isn't over, but thats 2 games in a row now that the heat have looked so dominant over them.  And even when you look back at the previous series' against Indiana and Atlanta, it only seems to be confirming more that this bulls team as currently constructed is looking more and more like the Lebron Cavs teams that could never win a title.  Live or die with one player, dominant regular season team that doesn't carry over to playoff basketball.

Two, if the Heat go on to win this series and the NBA title, unless a new, athletic, somewhat young superteam can be constructed somewhere in the NBA, the heat really will win 5 or 6 titles.  3 players scoring 90% of the points and having a supporting cast as putrid as they have now and at the end of it all they STILL win a title?...that's scary.  Especially when you know that that team is only going to get better with both chemistry and better players wanting to sign there to improve the supporting cast.

Yeah...the series will either be tied at 2-2 or Miami will find itself in the driver's seat with a commanding 3-1 lead.

I agree. Miami will be the favorites if it indeed ends up that way. Dallas defense is improved this year but I don't see them being able to contain Wade/LeBron for a whole series.

Yep. This Heat team isn't really that great. If they win a championship this year, I really don't care to watch them when they get better pieces around their stars.

And I hate even the sheer thought of the other super team being the Knicks if Chris Paul goes there.  Can you imagine? A Knicks/Heat battle for the next 5 or 6 years?  With those teams and the players on those teams?  Thats a Celtics fan's worst nightmare
