I'm shocked man. I didn't watch the game b/c of work, but followed the game through yahoo boxcore app. Man, I was pissed and couldn't focus on work. The thing is, the East will be so weak the next few years (Rose won't be the same for next year, Indy still lacks a star, Boston will be older), Miami will go to the Finals more in the next few years. But this team is so flawed and unbalanced that they won't win a championship if no changes are made, and Pat Riley replaces one of the worst coaches in the league. Lebron isn't the "main" person to blame here, but as the best player, it all ends with him. He has to do "something" to elevate this team. Wade is done. You can't trust him anymore. Bosh isn't ready. It's all about Lebron. He didn't deliver tonight after a great first half. This was a game where he needed to put up 40/18/9. Disappointed all around. If they lose this series, all criticisms are fair game. Shameful is too light of a word to describe this team.
I wonder if Hakeem will call Lebron and give him some advice. Like he did with Dwight Howard a few seasons ago.
Boston deserves credit, but this all on the Heat. This is a shameful performance all around and every player who wears a Heat jersey deserves to be slapped upside the head for these pathetic performances. The Heat are a better team period, with or without Bosh. To lose like this, esp. the type of effort with the 50/50 balls (from what i heard on the radio post game shows) is disgraceful.
Dude...i want to say shut it, but come on those three players? This is a rockets forum. Its gonna be tough for miami to win game 6 if there really are locker room issues. Nothing hurts a team more than finger pointing after a loss. That will be in there head during the game. The only way i see them winning game 6 is if they use that anger to attack the basket and draw fouls. And good job, gold effort.
The Celtics should have won game 2, when the momentum of the series had shifted, making this the close out game. Anyway, I'll be shocked if they, the Celtics don't close this out in the Garden.
p*****s let their teammates face the media https://twitter.com/WindhorstESPN/status/210221111995146240
Predicted Boston in 6, looks good right now...We should do a "best-of bash Boston" posts when Boston wins this series. "Heat gonna roll over them, Boston is too old, they suck" blabla my azz.
Spoelstra will be the fall guy but it's not on him. Lebron is the best player in the league but not a closer or clutch. Wade is past his prime. Bosh has been hurt. Most importantly there role players and bench are abysmal.
The Thunder will run them off the court. They're making the Spurs look old. Imagine what they'll do to the Celtics. The Heat have a better shot at forcing a game 7 than the Spurs. I wouldn't be surprised to see them coming back and winning the series. Bosh doesn't suck. The Celts would have no shot at winning this series if he wasn't hurt.
Ok, allow Bosh to be healthy but also allow Pierce and Ray Ray and Bradley and Wilcox and Jeff Green to be healthy. Also the Celtics have been counted out constantly. Remember how Miami looked against Indiana when their backs were against the wall? That just isn't happening because of the Celtics. Give them some credit. There are two teams in the series.
You're right which is why last night's game was so surprising. Pierce, Allen, and Rondo played like crap yet they still won.
Guys, this is too good to be true. I'm sorry, but the Heat are going to win the next two. This is all scripted to create suspense.
Championship teams find ways to come back when their backs are against the walls. That goes for the Spurs too. It's too early to write them off either although it's going to be awfully tough for them to win in OKC.
don't understand how they're making the spurs look old. Manu had some of his best games in this series. Perkins, at times, plays just as old as duncan. It has come down to some incredible shots by Harden. Also, SA has played some erratic bball when it comes to their turnovers. Remember how Indiana, against south beach, looked like they had never made an entry pass in their lives? that's because they hadn't. Boston on the other hand, they know how to pass in a set offense, which is why south beach doesn't get as many fast break points as they did against the pacers. Boston's ability and experience with their passing in the half court offense nulls OKC's points of turnovers, which they are capitalizing against the spurs. that said, boston has to be able to close this series. It would be fun to see Perkins face his former teammates, who were all disgusted that he was traded in the first place.
