so lets recap todays events, now that the arguing has dwelled down a little

THINGS THAT WORKED IN MIAMI'S FAVOR:
*homecourt
dwayne wade was fucking ridiculous
*james jones outscored lebron
*got to shoot twice as many freethrows as boston
*pierce was ejected for no fucking reason (don't even bother trying to justify it, it wouldn't have happened in any other arena)
played fantastic defense
*boston hadn't played in a week

yet, they only won by 9 points.

items with asterisks are things that were situational, and have an extremely low chance of happening again (ie luck)
