Game 3 Miami v Boston: Proof the importance of the 4th Quarter is overrated

[williamthomas]

The biggest myth in NBA circles is that the 4th Quarter is much more important than the other quarters. It is a myth. Plenty of games are won in the 1st Q.
Miami won this game when they kicked the crap out of Boston through the first 18 minutes of the game.

As you can see, not much interest here....


Ever since cable stole the games from over the air broadcast my viewership has waned precipitously.

But yeah a game can get out of hand after the first 12, let alone the other three.

The Bucks gave Boston all they had even without Middleton they took it to 7.

One team gets vs one team that's not is what these series are all about imo.

Lol. Opposites attract.

We called it and it happened. This game was decided basically after the first leg.

Box score of last night game:

MIA	11	22	19	30	82
BOS	29	28	19	26	102

At one point it was 18 to 1 in the first quarter, Boston.

Lemme guess... You are a sports aficionado. My first wife was like that back in the early 80's. She could name every player on every team in every league, no matter the sport. I never saw anything like it. And she married me. A person who has never watched a sports game of any kind in my life.

Had they interviewed another type of player, it would have gone like this:

Well, ya know, we be like not playin like we shoulda ya know. Just gots ta git out there like ya know and like um ya know try harder to git possession of da ball, ya know.
