A huge factor of this series has been how many easy points Boston has been able to get because of Miami's awful transition D. That's inexcusable. Boston couldn't score on Chicago or Philly, but now are exploding against Miami, lolwut?
This can't be a good sign, he's already making excuses for tonight's loss:

The Heat have started five different players at center this season and seven over the last two years. They are Bosh, Joel Anthony, Udonis Haslem, Ronny Turiaf, Dexter Pittman, Erick Dampier and Zydrunas Ilgauskas. Three other veterans, Juwan Howard, Jamaal Magloire and Eddy Curry, have played minutes at center off the bench.
"It's been a challenge for all of us," said James, who also has played minutes at center in the series with the Celtics.
"At times it's been hard to get a rhythm starting the game or starting the third quarter. That has been a rotating door for the last two years, not just this series. There's Joel, C.B., U.D. at times, Ronny and Damp and Z. The list goes on in just two years."
