12-13 Playoffs - SPOILERS INSIDE
- Thread starter spurlec
- Start date
Sniper in the building.
Yeah, I called that one out when I saw it! They should fine half of each team $50K a piece for all the BS flopping going on! It is f***ing ridiculous!
And BTW - That Lebron offensive foul that saw him foul out, was FAR from a 'phantom' call. Watch it again. His foot stands on Stephenson's foot as he puts his leg out!Earlier in the game, Stephenson's foot went under Lebron's, cauing him to jump up and run to the other side of the court and check out his injury.
It is called referee karma!
We'll have to agree to disagree on the offensive foul call. The Heat have no excuses even if that was a no call, they were right there, had a few opportunities to put it away and just didn't get it done. When they managed to get a defensive stop, they gave up the offensive board instead. They just didn't play well at all.
Lebron has been too inconsistent in this series, this is how either team can win it now...indiana need to work it inside out, roy hibbert has been a thorn in the side of the heat becasue nobody can guard him...miami need to get lebron back on the block more, he was unstoppable when they went to him that way, plus that way he can draw a double team and open up the shooters...i can see this going seven games, i just hope the heat can play with more urgency...
Lebron? Inconsistent? Come on, have you seen how the rest of the Heat are playing? Lebron has been the most consistent out of any of them and is the sole reason they even had a chance to win the games.
Wade is averaging career playoff lows after having such an outstanding regular season, Bosh shot 1-6 last game and has grabbed a total of 13 rebounds...IN 4 GAMES! That's just not acceptable. Indiana's POINT GUARD has more rebounds than Bosh. Ray Allen has been ineffective, Shane Battier uses up all his energy on the defensive end that he's got no lift in his jump shot.
Miami are playing poorly and credit Indiana for their defense, but if you can't score, then out hussle them, do the boxing out, grab the defensive rebounds with both hands and secure them, but you have to be ready to play. Miami better wake up and wake up fast. They think this is a tough series? The Spurs will be an even tougher opponent. They've got size and defense that matches Indiana but now they've also got the offense to go with it and would blow this current form Miami out of the water.

Im not knocking lebron, he and kobe are my fav players of all time, I just think he hasnt been as dominate as he could be, your right, everyone else has been pretty ordinary and indiana really are giving them fits at them moment and im really scared that it may end up being a indiana/spurs finals...yawn...
lebron....get back down in the post, score, drive to the basket and score and shoot some more threes, because nobody else can score on your team!!!
Lebron is reminding me of Dirk a couple of years ago, everything hinged on his play down the stretch. More often than not he comes up trumps so I'd stick with Lebron to help secure the series win.
Surprised that you're "yawning" at a Spurs/Indy Final, are the Heat really that exciting????
You have Lebron making unbelievable plays and not much else after.
Haslem makes baseline jumpers, Battier has the ugliest (yet effective) game in the League, D. Wade is struggling, Bosh is soft and can't even rebound, Chalmers is nice but definitely yawn worthy, Ray Ray has changed and the rest of the team won't be on Sportscentre any time soon.
But lucky for me I get off on execution and looking forward to a Heat/Spurs Final
but if Indy were to make it, that would be pretty awesome too.

Bosh, Wade and Allen still missing in action..terrible. LeBron again putting it on his back and bringing those slackers home. One more to go! I was wrong about Paul George: this guy is a baller through and through and Indiana will be even better next season when Granger is back.
If LeBron played with the intensity he did in the 2nd half in every game I would be hard pressed calling MJ the GOAT. He did the same against the Celtics last year just went into beast mode and the whole team follows.
Sure Miami dont have a good bigman but Hibbert to me would be one of the best centres in the game right now. His offense is silky and D like the 90's greats imo. Howard ain't got sh!t on this guy.

Roy is a throwback to when centers played with their backs to the basket and stayed there instead of the jibby jabby crossovers and fade away jumpers. If Pat Riley hasn't seen how the Heat have been exposed defensively without bigger bodies, I'm sure he's seen it now. Priority 1 in the off season is to get bigger bodies, to block shots and rebound and defend. Dejuan Blair on the free agent market only $1M salary last season would help. Not sure who else would be cheap enough to acquire without blowing up the roster.

Taj Gibson & Set Collector!
Nearly as bad as an actor as Lebron and Wade..... The bullshit flopping in this series is a disgrace, especially from players if Lebron and to a lesser extent Wades caliber!!
