hubie brown needs to get his eyes checked because that was a pretty obvious goaltend. i mean he got like 10 replays to look at it and kept thinking it wasn't going down. and i don't get the heat at the end. it was like they said, hey lebron's having his worst game of the season, let's only give it to him (i think lebron had his worst fg% and ft% game, fouled 2 guys on jumpers which he never does, and turned it over a bunch, he first bad game all season). that was a nightmare final minute for lebron. 1/2, missed jumper, fouls 3 point shot, 1/2 after missing a layup that would have been for a 3 point play, then 1/2. unbelievable. being a lebron hater is the easiest job in the world. something always happens to give you some fuel. it's like rooting for the yankees or something. and being dwade is the 2nd easiest job in the world. you never have to worry about being criticized for anything. brick a bunch of jumpers and free throws? don't make any of your big shots down the stretch? who cares, lebron also missed. 2 straight nights, 2 straight times i was just going to go sleep and the heat drag out a close game, don't make any plays, then go to OT and keep me up past 1 and lose. even being a fan of houston sports all my life, i don't think i've ever seen a team crappier at close games (excluding the entirety of the celtics and bulls series last years) that could have more go wrong at the end of games. i mean tonight all they needed were some free throws and all of the big 3 missed them in the 4th. at least it's just the regular season which as we saw last year was basically meaningless. and what seems insane is that this was essentially a tie game the whole 4th quarter, the heat didn't make a field goal for 11 minutes (seriously?, is that a record?) even though they had about 10 shots inside 5 feet, and they missed a bunch of free throws and somehow it went to overtime. and i already got to watch the rockets lose to the spurs in OT with their usual assortment of bricks down the stretch. you couldn't have less fun rooting for two teams to make shots in close games than the rockets and heat.
I'll tell you this though watching these two teams play they are elite they're going to be the cream of the crop not sure how the Lakers will do against these two next week
the heat didn't make a shot for 11 minutes, lebron and wade shot 13 for 36 and chris paul had an amazing game. it seems weird the heat didn't get blown out.
expect them to lose. they'll be tired and they've lost any early season momentum they had with these 2 painful losses. same thing as last year. the heat are like an ocean freighter. when things get going a certain direction it always takes them a long time to turn them around (both bad and good). i wish i knew how to bet against the heat winning the title. their odds are so high you could get pretty good money betting on the field. nights like tonight show this is the same team as last year. no title.
LeBron traveled before shooting for the last foul in regular time. Cheat should thank refs to get there in the first place.
As usual you exaggerate their woe. I still think they have the best odds of winning the championship.
