Miami needs to keep LeBron or Battier on Granger at all times.

Wade isn't big enough to check him. Miller too weak defensively. Maybe even James Jones, give him a run against Granger instead of those two.

If Miami loses to Indiana, do they both fire Spoelstra + break up their Big Three?

Or, do they just fire Spoelstra and give a new coach an attempt at making them work?

Are they coachable? They have big personalities. Didn't Wade get Riley to go or something?

They'll fire jr and hire a coach that they won't listen to and repeat the cycle I'm sure

I think all three of them are very coachable.

Wade mouthing off to Spoelstra = proof that the patients have always been in charge of the asylum in Miami.
This is another thing that separates Bostons Big 3 from Miami's. You would never see Doc get the disrespect Spo gets especially on national tv because the players respect him.

This series is a situation where Miami sorely need a Jamaal Magloire or Eric Dampier to check Roy Hibbert. They screwed up letting both of those big bodied physical defensive minded centers leave. If they had either one of those guys right now, they'd be in a much stronger position (matchup wise).

This loss is a gut-check for Miami. Embarrassing.

I think they'll come back with a big performance in game four keyed by Wade to tie the series 2-2.

I think they should sit Wade the rest of the way.

Play Chalmers, Miller, Battier, LeBron and Turiaf for the next 6 minutes and see if they can get the team back in it.

I think all three of them are very coachable.

Apart from Wade, who had Riley, none of them really had a disciplined coach.

And I google'd it. My memory did not fail me. There was indeed a Wade-Riley feud.

As for LeBron: http://www.slamonline.com/online/nba/2011/11/shaq-lebron-james-never-listened-to-mike-brown-in-cleveland/

Shaq's book isn't the most credible thing but, still, there's probably some truth to it. Plus he also bumped Spoelstra.

I don't know about the Raptors...but from what I see, I think Bosh might be the only one who will respond to the discipline they need.

Am I being too biased?

Idk could happen, but  the pacers seem to be pulling away the last two games once weasel and leroid start herring tired.
I seems there might be a trend starting in this series.

Chalmers really stepped up today. He has 23Pts on 9-12 shooting.
Wade looks like he quit on team. Anyway, I am enjoying it :)
