First Playoff Match-Up Locked: [4] ATL vs. [5] MIA

it's just lack of Spo's, Beasy's and Chalm's playoff expiriece! i hope they'd step up in game 2!

Wade only scored two points in the second half as well, which I wouldn't have expected. As for the rest of the team I don't know if it's necessarily a lack of playoff experience, playoff experience is a little overrated especially against a team that the Heat have been competitive against this season. It was just a bad game at a bad time of the year to have one.

yeah, that's right! but in playoffs jokes are over, and hawks showed their pressyre! miami has to be prepared for next game!

Miami will definitely be prepared for Game 2. For me, Miami will focus more on their defense because the Heat are not prone to blowout losses (except for that 106-88 loss in Portland). Also, that's a learning experience for Erik Spolestra. As a young coach, there is still a lot of pressure in him.

off cource! and i think beezy will step up a lot, and definitely Jamaal would play, cuz he the best rebounder in our team!

I'm not worried, we will utilize Anthony a bit more and we will be fine.

Finally, someone who makes sense in this thread. I always have faith in the greatness that is Joel Anthony.

Jamaal Magloire didn't play?

I've seen him play in Game 1 and he blocked some shots. He could develop in Miami.

Damn, didn't see this coming..

How bout Game 2?

15/26 from 3, and did you see that Bank Shot at the buzzer by Wade? Slicky sick.

Now knotted at one apiece, we ifnally got a series.

YEAH BABY, SEE YOU IN MIAMI, HHAHAHAHAHA! WE WON!

I see Miami taking this series in 6.

Game One: Joel Anthony - 19 minutes.
Game Two: Joel Anthony - DNP CD.

This might be evidence he should retire and become the head coach in order to provide more leadership from the bench.

awesome!
buy the way, check this:

That's more like the Wade I expected to see. So much for the Hawks' homecourt advantage, though the series is hardly over at a 1-1 tie.

Yeah. Wade pretty much did what he had to do, and it was also great to see Jermaine O'neal stepping up big time both on offence and defence. We had to shoot 56% to win this one, and Atlanta had an awful night, so we better pick up wins in next 2 games @ home.

we will take them

Joel Anthony - 2 minutes.

Another Heat win.

dont blame anthony, hes the second coming of kendrick perkins

i already can't wait to see wade vs lebron. the series is far from over but it seems o'neal is playing well and that really is a great news.

great, joel is finally getting attention in this forum. rofl

amazing game 2 and game 3! let's win 4-th and than it would be so easy to win this series!

That's right Diddy. Cavaliers are waiting for us. We not gonna make them wait too much. That'll be rude.

Game 4's tonight, hope it's broadcasted on TV.

man, what's happened to wade? we can't afford to lose him!

Oh great, just when we need everyone healthy. Moon's out and Wade's not 100%.

it's so unfair!

When did D-Wade suffered that injury? I just got surprised when I saw on SportsCenter that he needed help from his teammates to stand up.
