Scott Foster and Tony Brothers are back tonight, that should silence any Heat fans who still had any optimism about this series  |

Brothers has been doing a great job for 25 years. IMO he's an A+ ref. Foster's also a 25 year vet.
If the Lakers win today it's ova. After game 1 I sensed a sweep. I haven't changed my mind. The only thing that can beat the Lakers in this series is the Lakers.
I hope Vogel doesn't feel it's a wrap and start to make ill advised substitutions. I like basketball but I want the season to end Tuesday. Football is a pill for boredom. I haven't watched baseball since Walter O'Malley turned over the Dodgers reins to his son. I'll probably watch some since the Dodgers are doing well.

Oh good. Hopefully, free throws will be even in this game. The last game was a joke.

I'd like to predict the the team that takes the MOST 3-point shots, shoots the least amount of free throws...

No way they are going from doubtful to playing in 5 hours.
| Quote: | | On 2 p.m. injury report, Heat still listing Bam Adebayo (neck strain) and Goran Dragic (torn plantar fascia in left foot) as doubtful for tonight's Game 3 of Finals (7:30 p.m., ABC). |

Olynyk gives us a bad match up. Can't let that scrub get 24 points and 9 boards like last game.

I see what you did there. Thru the first 2 games, the Lakers have beaten them by an average of 14 points.

| Any word on DG's ailing hip? If he can't be effective for us I'm worried Herro will go Hero Ball for them making things more than interesting tonight. |

They should just call the series. The Heat aren't gonna do jack. We beat them convincingly even with the refs giving the Heat 34-17 FT advantage. It's just gonna be another savage beating.

Good. Now we can concentrate on those scrubs Olynyk and Nunn.

Yep. Once the Lakers win today, I can’t see Miami risking Bam's health by bringing him back down 3-0. Lakers have an easy path to a sweep. |

For real 
I don't see how the Heat can play much better then game 2 realistically at all while the Lakers outside of AD and Lebron who are going to dominate every single game regardless were all mostly average at best.
I think this one will look much more like game 1 then game 2 score wise. |

Our defense needs to be better than it was in game 2. Hopefully they make some adjustments.

We need to keep them off the free throw line it's ridiculous they got 34 free throws. They shot 92% from the free throw line.

A lot of those calls were soft calls. Lakers didn’t get the same whistle of offense. |

Can they play worse than the last game? We were like 2 for 30 from 3 it seems like. Still won
