Battier cost James at least 1 asst/game with the brick house he was building. I have a feeling though Shane will heat it up against the Pacer and in the final.
Yes a lot has changed in two years. The Heat didn't even know how to play as a team 2 years ago and they beat the bulls with LeBron and Wade in God mode and the Bulls were healthy. Also, they didn't have Ray Allen and they didn't put up one of the greatest NBA regular seasons in NBA history with a 27 game win streak. But yet, you think the same Bulls team who got whipped 4-1 by a worse Heat team would take them 7 this season? Doesn't make much sense.
Lol as much as people are talking about Indianas D..I think Miami's D is scary at times, incredibly scary because any steal and they will run by you like bulls on the fast break. Indiana can't run the fast break, don't have great shooters, are just a physical team with lots of inside presence. Miami is an overall team with just as important and tough of a bench as anyone these days. They got the birdman who's been playing tough, Ray Allen and a healthy Big 3. Unlike a Westbrook move is pulled I don't see how Indiana stands a chance. Miami lost game 1 then got motivated and demolished Chicago, beating Miami in 4 sounds almost ungodlike
An unhealthy bulls team took heat down to the wire a few times, won game 1, stopped the heat streak... Yea I think they can. One thing you can note from this series is that heat hate playing physical aside for bird man. They are bunch of crybabies that got some crazy calls for them because of their star power. Rose would've got similar calls..
Uh, LeBron choked against Dallas in the Finals, but then played like LeBron against OKC. Hibbert isn't the same player he was a year ago.
Bingo. The heat hate playing physical because they are a bunch of pu**ies. They get BS calls and they are the perfect example of today's era in basketball SOFT.
Lamoron doesn't even understand that "the next team" doesn't in any way mean "just another team" The whiny floppers started working on their whines today. Maybe their floping is perfected already.
The haters' best hope at this point is for the pacers to just make a long physical series of it. Might even have to inflict an injury or two, beat them down enough so that memphis or SA has a chance. Meanwhile assuming they're not doing the same thing to each other in the wcf's. The haters.
Sometimes pacer fans say more in their pauses than they do in their words. Let's read it again, & this time, really pay attention to the pauses: See at first I took this post at face value, more in support of the thread title than contradicting it. But now after reading the rest of the thread, I understand he was REALLY just implying "Lebron SUCKS!" and predicting a pacers sweep.
