just unbelievable the shooting by teams against miami down the stretch of games. i mean down 23 orlando acts like it's nba jam and just starts nailing 3's and every single one they missed was an offensive rebound. then wade misses free throws, lebron misses a couple (though he took a bunch so he was bound to miss 1 or 2), and then lebron with the terribly careless turnover that damn near lets orlando overcome a 6 point deficit with 15 seconds and no timeouts. miami is going to give me a heart attack with their ability to blow late leads. maybe the law of averages will kick in at some point with other team's late offensive efficiency against the heat.
True. However they weren't doing well even with those players active in the beginning of the season. I still think we need to put it into real perspective.
If LeBron was the only one who left and the rest who stayed they would still suck. I hope some of you really don't think the rest of the players would have made a big difference.
Anybody who thinks Cav is the same team as last year, just does not know... It's a whole lot different, plus bunch of injuries. I am not saying Lebron's impact was nothing, but looking at wins only is just overestimating.
LeBron made about 95% or more of the difference for the Cavs when it came to winning. yea ok whatever the mo williams/varejaos are acceptable starters ..but whats the difference in winning 15 games instead of 12? cavs are getting mostly blown out every game. if you add in varejao/williams maybe the games will be closer or whatever, but its a far different topic about actually winning the games. lol, not meant to be harsh on the cavs, but they are still the worst team in the league whether mo williams or varejao was available or not
Lakers staying with San Antonio... despite playing unfocused and undisciplined.. I may be crazy but San Antonio really doesn't concern me that much.. If the team can hang with them when their obviously sleepwalking (which they are right now) a potential playoff matchup with them with a healthy and returned Matt Barnes should be a pretty easy series...
It seems like all of the Lakers outside of Odom and maybe Kobe run with this slight old-man limp. Weird.
Of course people care. The heat game was probably the most full I might have ever seen the toyota center. Probably the most buzz in over a decade.
Taking nothing away from the Heat game at the TC, but the playoffs (every season the Rockets went and even in 04 against the 1st seeded Lakers) and the 22 game winning streak had more a "buzz" to them than this Heat game did.
