Does this really need a caption, guys?
LOOK MA, NO EYES! Wait, why am I clanging the rim!?
So, after two quarters in Indianapolis for Game 3, the series (1-1) and game (43-43) were tied.
Not for long though, thanks to a
17-3 run to start the 3rd...and Dwyane Wade having little to celebrate after a rather lacktive-sounding 2 of 13 from the field, finishing with not one, not two, not three, but FIVE whole points.
Sweet facepalm. bro.
Sure, D-Wade
reflected on his paltry performance, but why don't we quote ESPN's Michael Wallace:
Wade missed his first five shots and was held scoreless in the first half for the first time in 95 career playoff games. His first basket came on a jumper with 10:22 left in the third quarter.
Hired talking head, er, "coach" Erik Spoelstra even got to experience
a little bit of Wade's wrath, in a third quarter argument:
Not only did Wade's frustrations take the Heat out of their offense, as he attempted to fire his way back into his typical box-score prominence, but his failure to get back on defense and (at times) go over the top on Indiana's screens drew Spoelstra's ire.
Not that their third-quarter "conversation" was troubling the Heat coach.

Anyone else not watching the Spurs series? I have no affiliation to either team and I love the Spurs' team basketball but there's no tension as you just know the Spurs are going be done with LA quickly.
Hah! I LOLed. Well done, Chris!
Well, I've said for a long time that in addition to luck, injuries are also an expression of training and preparation. In other words, champions are also durable suckers who work like crazy to stay fit and prevent injuries. If Chris Webber had had better training habits, he'd have probably been a champion. Had Tracey McGrady had any work ethic to speak of, he'd have gotten out of the first round at some point (and maybe avoided the endless knee injuries). Kobe DOES have exceptional training habits, and we see that he has unusual success and longevity as a player. So did Jordan.
To a certain degree, you make your own luck.
So, let's not hear any excuses for the Heat. Odds are they won't be champions this year. While some of that is bad luck, it's still on them. If they had any role players of note, maybe there'd be fewer minutes and less wear on their bodies this year. You don't hear the decrepit old Spurs complaining, do you? You don't hear Garnett complaining as he cranks out throwback playoff games. You make your own luck. So sorry, Heat. Maybe next year.

Lebron James was the only Heat player in the last game that actually played better than complete shit and he's the one that's being called a choke artist when Dwayne Wade had the single worst playoff performance of his career.
This is tiresome.
This blog doesn't even update that often, but when it does, it just sounds very butthurt most of the time.
@Wormboy: Now you're implying that Bosh is lazy because he suffered an ab strain? Hating the Heat is just really sad at this point. Even with Bosh, they would have probably lost to the Spurs in the finals, anyway.
BLACK MAMBA
Thanks to raza and others who try but it will never be like the old times.
Sad face
If the Heat is the Jackson Five (slightly altered), what does that make the Spurs?
CSN&Y? The Miles Davis Quintet?
Wade, can't you just admit you went stone cold and played like crap for a while? Don't use the lame-ass injury excuse.
