From a Miami Herald article on the major contributions from the Heat's role players:


Miller’s magical Game5 will stand the test of time, but Battier’s performance in Game 2 might have been more important. It helped give the Heat home-court advantage in the series. He went 5 of 7 from three-point range and finished with 17 points after going 4 of 6 from behind the arc in Game 1.

All told, Battier went 15 of 26 from three-point range in the series, falling one three-pointer shy of tying the all-time Finals mark in a five-game series. And he did it despite playing out of position — at power forward — for the final three rounds of the playoffs.

Shane is sending out SocialCam tweets from the Heat parade today...they are pretty cool...not that he's Albert Maysles but it does amaze me how social media allows for us to kind of ride along for these events in nearly real time, with video only making it that more real.
