And.. LeBron moves one step closer.
For those who didn't watch the heavy-weight Game Three bout that took place in Miami between the Heat and Thunder -- you missed out. It was another game where the stars of each team were enough to power an entire state (in this case Florida) for the next decade.
Here are some quick thoughts from the Heat's 91-85 Game Three win over the Thunder:
LBJ is No Joke
As if it was a laughing matter before, it certainly isn't now. LeBron James is on a mission, and he is destroying anything in his path with wicked jams, clutch threes and stifling defense. He has an entirely new attitude and it's showing every single minute he's on the court.
Kevin Durant *May Be The Best Player in the NBA
Not much else to say other than the fact that this kid is just unstoppable. He shines in the brightest of lights and is a catalyst to this young Thunder team, which almost pulled the impossible late-comeback for the third straight game.
The only reason there's an * -- LBJ.
The Battier Strikes Again
Unreal. 100% shooting tonight for Shane Battier. This dude wants it.
The Beard's Struggles Continue
After a dazzling performance in Game Two -- James Harden has tanked again. The Beard stumbled to nine-points after a miserable 2-10 shooting night, including four missed threes. There's no excuse for someone of his caliber to be dropping the ball like he is.
Unacceptable, especially in a Finals series.
Super Nintendo Mario Had the Cord Un-Plugged
Much like Harden, Mario Chalmers fell flat on his face in Game Three. I'm not even going to reiterate his stat-line, as it is too painful to look at, and I care about our reader's health that much. The bottom line is that D-Wade and LBJ took over at the point, but moving forward, Chalmers has to do a better job.
I don't expect much from him, but certainly better than what he just did.
