La tensione produce queste cose. Calma e sangue freddo, a bocce ferme faranno tutte le valutazioni del caso. Io credo che questo sia il momento in cui James dovrebbe mandare giù il rospo e fare quello che serve alla squadra: andare a giocare in post.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Trailing in a playoff series for the first time since the 2011 NBA Finals, the Heat used its off day Friday to rest its growing list of hurting players.

Miami canceled a scheduled practice at Bankers Life Fieldhouse and instead reviewed film and had a meeting at the team’s hotel. Media availability with the team also was canceled amid a national perception that the Heat is on the brink of a postseason meltdown. Miami will practice Saturday before returning to action Sunday for a critical Game 4 against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

“It’s a must-win, honestly, for us,” LeBron James said. “If we come here and split and go back home, we feel good about ourselves.”

As the Heat knows firsthand, the momentum of a playoff series can change quickly. On the brink of taking a commanding 3-1 lead against the Dallas Mavericks in the 2011 Finals, the Heat faltered in Game 4.

For Miami, the roles are now reversed.

Still trying to adjust to the loss of Chris Bosh, the Heat couldn’t overcome a poor shooting night by Dwyane Wade in Game 3 and managed just 12 points in the third quarter. Wade finished the game with five points on 2-of-13 shooting, the Heat shot 4 of 20 from three-point range and the Pacers won the rebounding battle 52-36.

“We’ve got to make sure we come out of halftime with a little more sense of urgency,” said Udonis Haslem, who had three rebounds in less than eight minutes of action in Game 3. “Third quarters have been rough on us pretty much all year.”

Priority No. 1 for the Heat on Sunday will be reestablishing Wade offensively. In Game 3, he failed to score in the first half for the first time in 95 career postseason games.

“We’re not going to win a ballgame with Chris Bosh out and me scoring five points, so I put the onus on myself,” Wade said. “There’s frustration in that.

“Obviously, you want to give your team a chance to win.”

Bosh was lost to the series in Game 1 because of an abdominal strain. In Game 3, it was Wade who appeared to be breaking down physically. Wade wouldn’t reveal any specific injury, but he missed 15 games this season with various leg and hand injuries.

“He’s a little banged up right now but he’ll be fine,” James said. “This is the playoffs. He’ll use these next couple of days to rest his body.”

And also calm his nerves.

Wade’s frustrations boiled over in Game 3 during a timeout in the third quarter. After a heated exchange with coach Erik Spoelstra, Wade walked out of the Heat’s huddle and needed to be subdued by Haslem and veteran Juwan Howard. The discord added and extra level of a panic to Thursday’s collapse.

“We all want to win,” Haslem said. “We got a lot of alpha males in this locker room, so we encourage each other and get on each other’s cases when need be. But it’s all constructive criticism.”

After the game, Spoelstra downplayed the incident and called it “the least of our concerns.”

“Dwyane and I have been together a long time,” Spoelstra said. “We’ve been together through basically everything. That, really, is nothing. That’s the least of our concerns. That type of fire — that’s good. That’s the least of our concerns. Our concern is getting ready for Sunday.”

Adding to the Heat’s injury woes, point guard Mario Chalmers needed an X-ray on his wrist Thursday night after taking a hard fall during Game 3. Results revealed no structural damage, according to Chalmers.

“We have a lot of banged-up guys,” Spoelstra said. “You can see some of the players running up and down and sometimes they’re staggering, but we’re fine.”

James ha senso in post se Miami tira bene da tre, e avrebbe senso con Bosh in campo a togliere i lunghi dall'aiuto.

Contro Indiana James in post non lo vedo bene, perchè loro hanno i muscoli e i cm per tenere testa.

Piuttosto c'è bisogno di Wade, che tenga in mano il backcourt che attacchi il canestro e non si limiti e prendersi i tiri che vuole Indiana: da 5 metri senza ritmo. A George è difficile tirargli in testa, portalo a 3 metri dal canestro e o fa fallo o segni.

Spo deve lavorare per portare Wade a segnare in area.

Comunque, se per cause sconosciute, dovesse cambiare qualcosa e casulamente riuscissimo a portare a casa la serie, credo sarebbe un punto di svolta davvero decisivo!

Quoto totalmente.
Soprattutto sulle cause sconosciute, purtroppo.

La causa sconosciuta secondo me si chiama Wade, mi aspetto una cazzo di reazione stasera.
Sulla serie concordo con voi, anzi: se la portiamo a casa mi aspetto un turning point in positivo della stagione attuale e di quelle future, se invece usciamo mestamente sarà difficile non far esplodere lo spogliatoio.

Se si perde la serie, le teste che salteranno saranno diverse.
Sicuramente il Coach e diversi "gregari"... non escluderei anche quella di uno dei 3 Amigos..

Probabilmente si.. però è sicuro che accadrà!
Non credo che negli usa, con la pressione che c'è, gli venga data un' altra possibilità a tutti.

Se usciamo Spoelstra non lo rivediamo l'anno prossimo, questo è sicuro. Giusto non lo so, ma sicuro sì.
Smembrare i Big Three? Molto molto difficile e credo anche improbabile. Bosh non lo scambieresti mai per qualcosa di effettivamente migliore di lui, James semplicemente non lo puoi scambiare perchè è il più forte. L'unico sarebbe Wade, ma ricordo che stiamo parlando, al netto degli infortuni ed è questa l'incognita, di un top-5 della lega, eppoi è una bandiera. Siamo sicuri di volerlo scambiare, fra l'altro proprio adesso in cui anche sul mercato avrebbe perso qualcosa in termini di appeal? Chi prenderemmo scambiandolo? Faremmo davvero dei passi in avanti?
Capitolo gregari... Ma scusate, chi è che se li prende, considerando età e ultime prestazioni? Anche trovando un acquirente rimarremmo con nulla in cambio, o quasi.
A questo punto penso che si cercherebbe di racimolare qualcosa dalla free agency (penso a un Nash) e si spererebbe che basti cambiare coach per trovare la soluzione. Speranza piuttosto vana, aggiungo io. I problemi non sono nè tecnici nè tattici, secondo me, ma psicologici. E hai voglia a risolvere quelli...

Siamo vivi.

Non so voi, ma quando si parla di giocatori con il cuore, si parla di uno come Haslem.
Non è in un buon periodo, ferito, incerottato, partita sul filo, metà 4/4 da giocare, infila 4 J shot di fila..

Grazie!

Haslem has started to play his game, not Bosh's

If nothing else, this Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Indiana Pacers has allowed Miami Heat forward Udonis Haslem to return to his roots.
His shooting percentage off the entire season, Haslem said he got too caught up in stepping into Chris Bosh's role rather than playing to his own strength.
As the Heat does with Bosh, Haslem had spent most of the season rolling to the basket after setting screens, only to find his undersized options limited at the rim.
But in this series against the Pacers, which the Heat lead 3-2 after Tuesday's 115-83 victory at AmericanAirlines Arena, Haslem has instead flared off screens for the mid-range jumpers that had been his trademark prior to Bosh's arrival.
He said he now is encouraged moving forward.
"Pick and pop has really been my game the majority of my career," Haslem said after shooting 5 of 6 Tuesday. "So instead of rolling to the basket, with those trees down there, I just flared back by like I usually do. I'm more comfortable doing that than anything."
Haslem said team leaders LeBron James and Dwyane Wade told him to get back to being himself, rather than some type of stand-in for Bosh, who is sidelined indefinitely with a lower-abdominal strain.
"D-Wade and 'Bron just told me to play my game, pick and pop," he said. "I've been rolling to the basket all year, and that's really not comfortable to me."
Haslem is playing with nine stitches above his right eye, after being cut in Game 4. He said his blood moment was motivational.
"Certain people, when they see their own blood, they go a little crazy," Wade said. "I actually liked it when I saw the blood dripping down."
As for Bosh, the party line is that there is no timetable for a return,
"He's out indefinitely," James said, when asked if he thought Bosh could somehow come to the rescue this postseason. "It's not like we've moved on, but guys are stepping up."
For now, Bosh has been limited to non-court rehabilitation work.
"He's doing his rehab," coach Erik Spoelstra said of running into Bosh in the training room. "He had a smile on his face. He's doing some work. He's not even near any court work right now."
