Probable Starting Lineups

Gotta protect home court.

Wade has to be good from the start. Same for the D.

Assuming Bosh is back, Spo has to make changes to the rotations. Start:

Joel (KG)
Haslem (Bass)
LeBron (Pierce)
Wade (Rondo)
Rio (Ray Ray)

Bring Bosh off the bench for roughly 12 minutes depending on how he looks and how ready he is (nobody knows but Bosh and the staff). Battier and Miller play less minutes to open them up for Bosh, Norris gets some time on Rondo at the end of the 1st half and/or early 4th. I'm sure JJ will get sprinkled in because Spo loves him for some reason.

How can you not love JJ? I find that he has played better than Miller and Battier at a lot of the time this season. He has also been making shots, even without playing the whole game.

I want to see immediate timeouts if Boston scores 2 or 3 baskets in a row early. I wouldn't even be against calling a timeout after 1 basket.

**Wade2Bosh** · 06-04-2012, 03:49 PM

Make that 2 consecutive outside shots and i'd agree. They get on some roll from the outside against us.

Brent Barry on NBAtv said after the game that the Celtics had 11 3pt plays in the 1st half (7 3's and 4 and1's). That is crazy. Speaking of Brent, just like in basketball, he is a million times better as an analyst than his brother.

I don't get how Jon Barry has a job on ESPN. They should reverse TV stations as Brent knows what he is talking about.

Jon Barry is just terrible...He has to be the worst one on there...besides Skip

**Wade2Bosh** · 06-04-2012, 08:46 PM

OKC playing how we should have played for 48 minutes yesterday.

Cant let what's happened to the Spurs, happen to us. Gotta protect home court.

**Jace** · 06-04-2012, 08:47 PM

Hopefully we look at what happened to the mighty Spurs tonight and give it all tomorrow. Pressure's on us right now.

EDIT: Beaten again by W2B.

THANK YOU. I've been saying this since BB first joined NBATV. Its uncanny how much better he is than Jon. Add to the fact their respective stations and my mind is perpetually blown. Jon is louder, more brash, and stupider, which, on second thought, fits ESPN more. He's got the Skip Bayless gene.

Keyon Dooling is 10-14 from the corner 3 this reg/post season. 6-8 in the reg, 4-6 in the post. So, Spo teaches Dooling a jumpshot and become Ray Allen 2.0. Teaches Dwyane one and he forgets it after a few seasons.

Hopefully Spo straightens out Cole's J this offseason. Cole can be a similar player to Dooling. (Is that one OK R-Star???)

Wow, that Spurs series is like a mirror image of our 2006 series. Spurs were DOMINATING and OKC has completely flipped the series upside down.

Important question: do we ride the Spurs avatar? It's on a two game losing streak and the Spurs just lost three in a row. Is it the right time to jump ship?
