Here we are again with Mel (@Mel_Loves_LAL on Twitter) to break down another thrilling NBA Finals game. Game 3 was a fight to the finish, with Miami again surviving, this time on their home court, with Game 4 tomorrow night at 6:00 (9:00 for you East Coast people).
Scale of 1-10, how concerned should OKC fans be after last night's game?
Mel: Definitely an 8. Not quite panic mode yet because OKC played their best game of the series last night, but still silly mistakes cost them the game.
Who do you think is the most overlooked player so far in this series?
Mel: Mario Chalmers. He's not producing major numbers on offense, but he's very tenacious on the defensive end of the floor and he does the little things that don't show up on the stat sheet.
What do you think has been the biggest reason Harden has not played well? Is it nerves, good D by Miami, or a combination?
Mel: I'd say a combination of both, but moreso nerves. He's gone away from the player he was in the first 3 rounds. He's not attacking the rim enough or being aggressive enough. He's making bad decisions. He seems to be playing scared. It's not a good sign for OKC. He's playing like he's not ready for this moment.
Last one, who wins tomorrow night?
Mel: OKC wins tomorrow night. It's do or die for them in my opinion.
Thanks to Mel Young again for taking the time to do this.
