Three things to consider before Game 3 of the NBA Finals (Ball Don't Lie)

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Miami Heat will tip off Game 3 of the 2012 NBA Finals on Sunday night, in the midst of an evocative and entertaining series that is knotted at 1-1. In quick-hit format, here are three things to dig as we head into Game 3: 1. Oklahoma City "quick start" Be quick, but don't hurry. And don't press. But come out aggressive. But not too aggressively. Remember what we talked about, but play freely. Understand that the first quarter means as much as the fourth quarter, but don't try to win a game in just 12 minutes of playing. Concentrate on utilizing your strengths, but don't let that stop you from hitting the open man and sharing the ball. It's now or never, but we've got a long way to go. (OH MY GOD MAKE IT STOP)
