Playoff Matchup: Heat (2) vs. Celtics (3)

I'm not saying his/heat fans can't like him.. I'm just saying no one else has guaranteed more than 7 'ships and that's enough reason for a majority of NBA fans to hate hime

 

Not at all. Better to say it gives people that already hate LeBron more reason to be fired up against him. That silly session on stage was just the cherry on top of a miserable summer of poor judgment and jerkiness.

Even though he is very polarizing, LeBron probably has more fans than any player in the NBA and if they win a championship, he will gain even more adulation.

 

Rachel Nichols:

 

Haslem playing for Miami tonight!!
Also, Anthony starting for the heat!!

 

THANK GOD. Z not playing basically gives the heat a 90% chance of winning tonight. that guy seriously needs to retire. he doesn't contribute ANYTHING to the heat when he's on the floor. zilch.

@tomhaberstroh Something to chew on while we await Spoelstra -- Playoffs usage rate playing with starting five: Big Z, 22.3%; LeBron 22.3%; Wade, 22.1%. 44 minutes ago

and you wonder why the starting 5 w/ Z sucks. he touches the ball as much as wade and lebron when he's on the floor. a recipe for disaster. that was why the philly games were so close.

 

Do people realize Lebron is only 26, and still has plenty of time to win a ring.

 

Haslem will be huge for the Heat, if Bosh plays bad again. Will give heat a extra option...

 

he will be rusty though

 

Still might be more effective then Bosh was against Garnett but..

 

If the Heat let a one armed dude do them up they don't deserve to win. Everything has lined up perfectly for them to win a title this season.

 

Why is Shaq still in the league? The Celtics announcer called him a "Walking Corpse"

bibby with fantastic defense so far.

 

anyone got a link?

 

Assuming he doesn't get injured and there isn't a major power shift.

You can never assume that somebody will win a title simply because they are talented, there are too many variables to be considered. There have been MANY talented players that never won one.

 

cmon ref, let that go. stop sissifying the game

 

Its on TNT idk if there are any links.

 

i didn't even know what the rule was on a flagrant with a made shot.


and it seems like every time pierce comes off a pick open no one ever helps lebron. i don't know if lebron is supposed to do something different or if they are just scheming to not give him help (and give pierce wide open 3's for some reason) but it's not working.

i've seen enough, celtics have this game.

 

what torn ligaments? LOL.

 

Rondo is a *****ing warrior.....thats all.

He is climbing up my favorite player list with this performance
