I find it interesting that Turiaf and Anthony did not even play last night. Anthony does a very good job guarding KG and guarding the rim. Unsurprisingly, Boston also steered away from their bench. I know neither team has a strong bench, but I think Miami can definitely benefit from rotating out Haslem against KG who is clocking 35+ minutes a game. I'll be interested to see how much Bosh plays in G6. He seemed to have his shooting rhythm down and did well on the offensive glass.

Im really off with my predictions this season oO (granted my spurs bias didnt help). I didnt think OKC had a chance and I really really didn't think Boston had a chance. Will be interesting to see which team can close its series, if the Spurs lose it ll be such a wasted opportunity!

In what way?


In the "my team is winning and I can be smug" way apparantly.

Bostons D is to good for Wade and Lebron to keep making impossible drives late in the game. Its not like the Heat got thrashed or anything so I dont see why people are over reacting. The games have been close and a play or 2 either way has been the difference down the stretch. Miami has problems and those problems have always been there teams just havent been good enough to expose them till this ECF or even the last 2-3 games.

But yea I have to agree Garnett gets away with murder sometimes let alone pushing limits of physical play but oh well.


LBJ is anti-clutch. He'll fold up just like he did in 2008 on the Cavs. It's really what everyone who follows the Heat knows, and everyone who hates him loves about him. The Cs didn't thrash anyone, but to think that the Heat will win in a pressure situation are just fooling themselves. Chalmbers is likely to shoot a lot more in game 6, because I'm sure Spoelstra is telling everyone who isn't LBJ and Wade that they need to step up, so whether or not Bosh plays significant minutes, the Heat has potentially more offense.

I believe the series will end in Boston, taking into account how well the Cs play at home, but even if it goes to game 7, there's no way the Heat will close this series out.
Hey! How you doin'?

I'm hoping Boston closes it out the next game then loses the next series. Screw the East!

LBJ is anti clutch because the dude plays 40+ min, and carries his team. Unlike Kobe and Jordan, he plays a far more physical game and he is a bigger guy, thus he tires even faster as he is carrying more. There was that game against Detroit when he was a Cav when they had to take him to the back and give him shots so he didnt pass out.

He is the sole reason Miami still has a small chance, Wade has been utter garbage this post season. The hate should be directed at him if Miami crash out by fans and media, but we know that wont happen. It will be at LeBron

I guess that is just a indication of how much people really think and expect of him, nobody expects Wade to pull off amazing things and carry teams to Ship's. It is put on Bronski

And no i am not some guy riding on his nuts, i dont think he anywhere near Jordan's level, or anything crazy like that. But he is the most gifted NBA player today, whereas Wade is just considered a great SG who is on a downward spiral because of age.

lol fanboy to the max.
LBJ is the reason they're going to lose. He's never been a team player, always makes horrible late game decisions, and is not clutch.

MJ and Kobe have always been the guys you want with the ball in their hands at the end of games. They've carried teams on their backs, and won games and championships.

Compare Lebron to them when he's won 6, no 5, no wait, ONE championship.

Also, let's no forget, no other player anointed himself the King then had a televised free-agency announcement like the douchebag he is.

Fuck Lebron James. I love Dwayne Wade, but I will now be rooting against him just so that the pussy Lebron loses. I hope he never wins a title, and ends up being the Dan Marino of the NBA. All around talent and statistically godly, but never wins the big game.
SOOOOOooooOOOOooooOOOOoo Many BANELINGS!!

Whoa. O_O What a hater, lol. That guy wasn't a fanboy, you just hate LBJ. And really? Kobe? I think it's been shown, time and time again, you DON'T want the ball in Kobe's hands unless you want like a 30% shot taken against a double team.

Honestly, I thought your whole post was satirical until I read the televised free-agency thing. I can't believe you're serious lol.

Yeah just like the Cavs didn't win a Championship because they had lebron! Without him it would have been easy amirite!

And the Wade Bosh core would dominate the playoffs, but they have this terrible player dragging them down

Being serious for one second, LBJ was pretty bad in last years finals, but without him they would have never gotten there at all. I mean do you remember Kobe vs C's when he was like 5 of 100 in game 7 of the finals? But hey they won the game, so you probably don't.

I am not even a fan of Lebron as a person, but you have to be pretty blind to ignore this guys talent and impact

Nevermind, obvious troll doesn't refute what I say with any logic.

Sure, LeBron doesn't handle end of game situations very well, did some douchey stuff when he left the Cavs, but to say that he isn't a team player is just dumb. Offensively he's unselfish (to a fault at times), and he's a great defender.

Clutz, you're being a bit harsh on the Heat--they're much better than just the refs always bailing them out (despite popular opinion on the matter).


Depends on your definition of "much better". If you mean that they do other things at an elite level, then yes, however if you mean that they do not rely on being bailed out by the refs to play consistently well, then I am not being harsh. The Heat cannot beat good teams unless they either: (1) consistently get calls, not necessarily bad calls, but calls that are borderline; or (2) make ridiculous shots, such as off balance jumpers, and pull up threes with a man 6 inches away and a hand in your face.

They CAN do #2. Lebron did #2 the ENTIRE 2011 ECF, however the ridiculous Lebron shotmaking dried up in the Finals and thats basically why the Mavs beat the Heat last year.
