2010-11 NBA PLAYOFFS

[salsadancer7]

Sorry I shouldn't have said "all"

Good games, don't include 2 points in the 4th Qtr. @ TO's and 2 missed 3's in the final 3 minutes. HE WAS GARBAGE!

He played what the defense allowed. He gets doubled every time he gets within 15 feet. He has not played great, but where was all that sh%@ talk when he lit up your old a$$ team like a Christmas team?! And where was your lip flapping when he was eating the best defensive team in Chicago? No where to be found.... Just trolling now that Miami is down.

I think he is tired. In the Finals, he is averaging more than anyone in Finals history at 45 minutes a game and averaging 44 in the playoffs...tied for 1st. Also, his defensive assignment is is almost the other teams best scorer...no one else has that assignment. Does Dirk have to chase anyone who is an offensive threat....nope, he is covering Anthony...AND Dirk gets a rest midway thru the 1st and 3rd quarter of the Finals for 3 to 5 game time minutes which can equate to 10 minutes real time. Both of Miami's wins are after at least 2 days off. Last night hit everything they threw up....great night for them.

Excuses, excuses. You would have fit in well in Cleveland the past 7 NBA seasons.

So what? That happened constantly in Cleveland and he still consistently had hug games. He sheets the bed under pressure. He's certainly no Wade, Bryant or Jordan.

Facts really...it takes a little research...but they aint hard to find.

I don't blame you, buddy. There's something about the so-called king that persuades his fans into making constant excuses for his behavior and play.....I speak from experience.

Touche.

 

[cosmo_kramer]

LeBron had a crappy game. He needed to be a scorer when Wade was out and he failed to show up during crunch time. Hopefully he has another "good game" like this on Sunday.

Udonis Haslem has more 4th quarter points in the Finals than LBJ!!!

 

[Skyhi]

Salsa...I remember arguing with you a few years ago re: Wade vs. LeBron. I have no problem admitting when I am wrong, so here you go: I was wrong. Wade is a much better player than the King.

Yeah....Its astonishing that people are defending his performance. He needed to be Jordan in the 4th quarter but he decided to be Luc Longley.

Here's my favorite stat from so far in the Finals:

Stars in Crunch Time This Series * Last 5 minutes, score within 5

      James   Wade  Nowitzki
Pts     0      13      26 
FG     0-7    5-8     8-12 
Reb     0      3        7 
Ast     2      0        1 
+/-    -13   -13      +15

You Miami fans are softer than toilet paper. I can't believe the free pass that Lebron James gets with the Miami fans. He might have cost your team an NBA championship with his terrible 4th quarter play. And yet you just keep kissing his ass.

No wonder he went to Miami, he couldn't of hack it in Boston, New York, Philly, LA or even Chicago. He would of choked on his own vomit in theses cities.

Sour grapes from a Celtics fan whose team choked against thevHeat in games 4 and 5 of their series.

After all, if LeBron is so heartless, SURELY there is NO way that a CELTICS team with so much GRIT and HEART would have taken it to the HEARTLESS king.

The advantage Wade has had is that he knows how to play with a superstar on his team...he had Shaq and as much as I dislike Shaq, he taught Wade HOW to play with a superstar, and I give props for that

His behavior so far, has been fantastic because Wade and Riley has grounded some AND he is getting older.

He just does not know how to play with someone of his equal...not an excuse. You can see it in how he plays without the ball. Also, Miami's offensive half court sets are the ones Riley use to use...meaning there is still a very heavy Riley influence on Spolestra. I am hoping they have loosen the reins, so to speak, on the offense.

 

[salsadancer7]

Yeah....Its astonishing that people are defending his performance. He needed to be Jordan in the 4th quarter but he decided to be Luc Longley.

You guys are clueless as to why he was brought here with Bosh. The whole idea was not to have A Jordan-eque player on the team, but to divide the scoring burden amongst the 3. Lebron, Wade and Bosh joined so they did not have to play the part of Jordan. That is why they left their former teams....they were tired playing that Jordan type.

nuff said. dirk has been the best player in the finals no doubt. 2nd is wade. Dallas has simply been clutch when miami hasn't.

I'm not a basketball fan, but I'm pulling for the Dallas Mavs since we have a house there and Dirk Nowitzki is awesome.

Anyway, it's hockey night so get back to the Stanley Cup and join the discussion.
