Not hard to understand. They put aside their differences so they could both focus on the game.


Now that Howard is out for the season for back surgery, why not stir the shit storm back up?

Getting a bit chippy... that Screen by Lebron (on Lucas) was not a foul. Just a poor job by Deng calling out the screen.

I don't know how a person can smile having back surgery at a press conference.

When was the press conference because the decision to actually have the surgery was announced today. I know it said he was going to be out for a while a couple days ago.

Well, the LeHeat beat the banged up Bulls. Good job. Still, was expecting the margin to be a bit bigger.


So, not impressed.

I'm only impressed if the margin is by 234134012470928702470213487210342 points. And it wasn't.

So, what exactly is Howard's issue with SVG...? I thought SVG was such a big Howard booster and etc.

Weird. And the guy's not a terrible coach.

Pretty physical game last night. Can't wait for the Bulls and Heat to meet up again.

Is it me or am I liking the Clippers less and less? Blake Griffin seems to have a tough guy image, but he flops more than a fish thrown on the street.

Meaningless game without Rosey but a nice setup for a potential conference final. Physical bball is the best.

NBA needs to go lax on physical play, taunting and the like. This ain't ballet.

I'm liking Blake Griffin less and less. CP3 though, is a bad dude (in a good way).

As much as I love Nash, he was on roller skates out there yesterday. He needs to join another team already.

Dude. Dude. DUDE. Does not work that way. The LeHeat are supposed to win every game from here on out until the end of the Big THREE.

So, you EXPECT them to have comebacks. The Bulls losing, that's expected...there is NO comeback. Not even a squad with MJ in his prime could beat the current LeHeat. They are just that good.




So, don't be a nimrod.

^^was a great pass. I stopped watching by that time, but the Spurs have their shit together.

Damn it, I can't help but admire them. Quietly, probably the best 'team' that seemingly covers all the bases at this point.

I still wonder if they can get pass Memphis though. If they are the 4th or 5th seed then they will play them in the 2nd round if SA stays at the #1 spot and if Memphis beats whoever in the first round

It was good to see Rose back on the floor. He didn't take any drives to the rim but that's expected just coming off injuries.

I'm happy he didn't do that. If you recall, he tried to play the same way each time coming back and promptly reinjured himself. So, good to see him easing up this time...no point with the playoffs looming.

And honestly, with the Blackhawks about to get kicked out of the playoffs by the Coyotes, I'm banking on a nice run by the Bulls.

...of course, long playoff run only means until they play the LeHeat who I believe will destroy the Bulls in one.

The margin of victory will be so much, the NBA will declare the series over after 1 game. So, LeHeat over Bulls in ONE!

I was wondering the same thing. Were they just resting them with the playoffs right around the corner? I bet they will play on Tuesday against the C's.

You are right. They are on the rest plan to get ready for the playoffs. I expect both to play against the celts, but not dwade since he hyperextended his finger in the wizards game. IMO.

The team was pretty much built around the big three. When all 3 are out then it's a team of role players and not one impact player.

^^now THAT was a flagrant foul. He's gonna be out awhile. Sucks, cuz he's actually done really well lately, but there's no place for idiocy and lunacy like that.

Great win by the Lakers. Bunch of no-names with Kobe and Pau did pretty well at the end.

Great win by the Lakers and bad timing in regards to MWP. I just saw his comments live on tv and it true sometimes players let their emotions get the best of them especially in a playoff intensity game like today. This game is a microcosm of why I think the Thunder won't win the championship this year.
