Miami only gets 5 on the shot if they win the jump ball. To not inform your players of that is a mistake. Westbrook thought the clock reset and went back to 24

you aren't getting phil jackson, and brooks is a fine coach for his pay grade, enough with this stupid banter....a team just won the title and all you can do is play the pity card for yourself.....pathetic.

Let me spell this out to you clearly, because you somehow are still not getting what I'm saying. Scott Brooks and his assistant coaches told the players who were going to be on the floor for the jump ball that if Miami gets it back, there will be 5 seconds on the clock. They then made sure every player saw the shotclock had 5 seconds.

Floor reporters confirmed it. ESPN was all over it the morning after. Westbrook took the blame himself because he misunderstood the situation when no one else did. You are making stuff up to blame Scott Brooks who is, at worst, and above average coach.

And even still, this all stems from you saying Miami got lucky and stole a title, when, even if Westbrook does not make that mistake, they've got 12 seconds or less to score 3 points to tie it, which is a less than 30% chance (because setting up an open 3 is not likely with 12 seconds or less, so you can't go by their averages). Then you assume Miami can't score again or can't win in Overtime and this is in ONE GAME of a 4-1 championship.

I hate you so much right now aaaaaaaaaaargh. I give up arguing with you about the eastern conference crap and the refs rigging it and I get drawn in by you blaming your own team INCORRECTLY for why the team lost and just shoot me in the face please.

Really? The clock doesn't reset to 5 until Miami wins the jump so it stays at 1.7 or w/e it was. As far as refs Fisher 1 flagrant foul 0 technical in his career and league president, thats just one. Blaming Scottt Brooks damn right he made some terrible errors in the finals same for James Harded

lebron definitely had the better playoff run. he showed up every single game unlike last year. definitely proved himself to the haters and doubters (i was kind of a doubter but now i believe).
dunno about influential cause dirk was crazy but i do believe that lebron played a large part in the role players' success in the playoffs; especially battier and chalmers. we also had cole/miller play great in the finals (miller out of his mind) and haslem also showed success overall in the playoffs.

I know harden sucked, I'm one of his biggest critics, but ibaka was also dreadful this series, bad offensive movement, bad spacing on screens, taking shots out of rythym. and his rim presence wasn't as good as it should've been with battier making him pay for sagging, for being their defensive anchor, and what many considered to be dpoy, he really wasny doing much.

I think he struggled playing out of position with his D. He really prefers being that help/weakside defender working with Perkins, but with Battier playing PF and shooting so well he was dragged away from the pain. And given Miami didn't much of a low-down presence, Perkins didn't play much significant time. Perkins and him work so well together but Miami's rotations forced them apart.
