I think...I may be happier than seeing my own team win any championship if the unspeakable happens.................



...and of course, that is the LeHeat winning Game 7. Honest.

And it sounds like he may just be a bit upset it's not seen that way elsewhere.

But, that's nobody's fault but his own. LeBron is the one who stepped up last year, & he's the one whose been putting on the career defining showcases. Wade simply hasn't beyond a few 20-30 point games. He's still a top SG/PG in the league, but he just doesn't contribute all-around like LeBron does now, which is why James has so much new-found fame.

And his comments after the game last night just don't help in any way. He & Bosh shot 4 for 19, & then complains that they both deserve bigger roles, that one individual shouldn't have to self-will it. What does he expect that individual to do in the outcome 2 of your top teammates aren't producing? Keep giving them the ball to miss easy layups? At least he's still supportive off the court. That same individual also had 6 assists, more than everyone else combined.

He could have at least done what every other player does & fall back on his injury as getting in the way, but even Bosh doesn't do that! Bosh said he's not performing like he should & he's disappointed in himself. He blames himself unlike Wade trying to argue that they're both not being utilized.

That's crazy Wade isn't a cancer his game is suffering because he is playing hurt and isn't the explosive player he ususally is, but Bosh on the other hand there's no excuse for him he's the one that they should get rid of.

Nah, he's not hurt. I think LeWade is just preoccupied with crafting his skills in diving for the Olympic Team eventually. Such grace in his flops...

Pacers bigs are making it really difficult for Bosh to get any rhythm. But i have to agree, if there was a decision who to keep the "Big 3" then Bosh would be axed.

So, Wade gets a pass for his shoddy performance & remarks that he's not getting involved because he's hurt.

But, Bosh doesn't even though he's hurt as well (playing on an injured ankle) & blames himself?

LOL, get the fuck out of here.

Mainly for placebo effects (reduce injury, keeping the shooting arm warm, etc)

When I play basketball at the park I saw a guy wearing the sleeve on a non-shooting arm . So some wear it just to accessorize.

You don't have to wear a sleeve on a shooting arm....


Most players in the NBA aren't wearing them for any reason to begin with, anyway, just like the wristbands.

And the fact that we need 7 games to oust the Pacers has caused a glitz in the Matrix. AZ crashed earlier.

Ron A even noted it was the LeHeat's fault.

Lebron covered George to 2 for 9 and put up his 32/9. Wade had a good game finally. And they went at Hibbert finally putting him in foul trouble. Props to Coach Spo for sticking with Ray Allen knowing he'd get out of his funk.

Lebron should be able to perfect his flop if he studies Manu in this series

4th quarter decided that game. That stretch with stupid turnovers and bad shots. And the Lebron kickout to Bosh for the open 3. Should've Euro stepped and drove in for the easy layup IMO. Plus 0 points for the shell of Wade in the 4th. Nice shot by Parker even though he may have traveled.

Well, the LeHeat have lost plenty of Game 1's and come roaring back.

If they lose Game 2...well now. I'm going to Pagani and asking Horatio for a Zonda. Cuz, well, pigs are flying.

Bitter much?




It's ok, we get no mention ever until we're in the finals anyways. We're used to it while the media sucks off LA, Boston and Miami all day.

Not at all. I'm just saying if that's your team the rep it all the time. We have bulls, lakers, knick,mavs, and heat fans in here. I'm just saying just out of nowhere when your team in the finals now people show up. I wish this thread was more diverse with other teams. Of course there will be differences but hey that's that person's opinon.

I don't even see those as fans who only shows up during the playoffs. I see a lot of wannabe basketball fans on my Facebook only because "their team" are playing in the playoffs. These people are what I consider score board rooters. All they do is check the scores after the game is over and cheer if their team's score is greater than the other team. They are nowhere to be heard during the regular seasons. I'm sure most of them can't even sit and watch through an entire game during the regular seasons.

Wannabes like that gets on my nerves because they rub it in when the team they're rooting for is doing well.

True.

But I'm worried because the NBA finals uses the 2-3-2 format and stealing game 1 seems even more crucial.

But then again, I have friends that argue that it makes no difference from the 2-2-1-1-1 format, so who knows.

I just want Sunday to get here so I can watch more ball~!

That was the first time I've seen the spurs get nervous and my butthole puckered up a bit at the start of the game. I feel if the heats fans would have kept up that intensity they had the first 4min and last 4 min then it would have made it harder for the spurs. As soon as they went on the 9-0 run and the crowd was silenced you could see them regain their confidence. They will come out stronger in game 2 but Duncan needs some first half points because I can see Lebron doing what he does and just powering to the hole every play for an easy 2.

I think the Heat will win game 2. No real reason it's just that's how things go.



If spurs get game 2 then I would get the brooms ready

No matter the outcome of game 2 or the format I don't see the Heat getting swept they are a good road team so they will win on the road now how many games that might be I don't know. I do know this is the same Spurs team that won the first 2 games against the Thunder last year in the WCF's and lost 4 straight games so you can't get carried away and think they will run away with this series even if they win game 2
