LeBron fouls out. I'm shocked.

[Palodios]

Lebron james is out of the game!!!

[MANNYHOF24]

That was a terrible call by the way

[Palodios]

First time Lebron James has fouled out as a member of the Heat. That is the most disgusting statistic I've ever heard of.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Can Wade get his s*** together? He's gotten better as the game has gone on, but...

[MANNYHOF24]

With someone as physical as Lebron James is, it makes you laugh that he hasn't fouled out since 2008.

[MANNYHOF24]

We need KG to take a shot here.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

I want to know how Joey Crawford still has a ref gig with the NBA. This guy gets off by taking over important games. It's ********.

[MANNYHOF24]

Oh, God... Rondo....

[MANNYHOF24]

Rondo's gotta make at least 1....

[Palodios]

I never understood the clear path foul rule. Why wasn't that one?

Wade was standing under the basket... It wasn't a clear path breakaway.

I must be blind, completely missed Wade.

[MANNYHOF24]

Well here we go, the continuation of the big there era rides on this..

[MANNYHOF24]

WOW... I thought it was good. HOLY CHRIST WHAT A WIN!!!!

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Looking back we all should have known that it would be a long Wade 3 at the buzzer.

[Palodios]

The Heat are the anti-clutch.

Celtics in six baby!!!

 

 

(With how we played in the second half, I don't know if I can believe my own words)

[NCPack2889]

The Heat are the anti-clutch.

 

I'm pretty sure that off-balanced threes in regular time don't hit their mark many times. Why do teams settle for isolation hero shots?

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

I just want to know whose idea that was... Wade's or Spoelstra's.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

The Heat are the anti-clutch.

Clutch doesn't even exist.

[KCBRUIN]

I hate Lebron with a passion good win C's!!!

[NCPack2889]

I can't believe the Celtics wanted to trade Rondo... He is the best passing point guard in the league. It's not even close.

 

No love for Paul or Nash?

[MANNYHOF24]

No love for Paul or Nash?

 

Nash in his prime was a great passer, but I've never seen anyone with the floor vision of Rondo in the last 15 years of watching the NBA. Paul is a great scorer, and a very good passer but he is not Rondo level if you ask me. The guy is special.

[MANNYHOF24]

Clutch doesn't even exist.

 

I don't believe this... You honestly don't believe that someone's mental state in different situations can change a players talent level or effectiveness in that moment?

 

A shot with the game on the line is a different shot, IMO.

[youmetaxidermy]

Rajon Rondo is the best in the league when he's at the top of his game. He just needs to work on his consistency. Doc Rivers said that he's trying his best to get over the negative slumps in games when he feels like what he's doing isn't working. If he can fix that and apply himself all the time, then he earns the title of best PG quite easily.

 

Nash is still excellent even if he is past his prime. He is the sole reason the Suns didn't have a record as poor as the Bobcats'. Objectively, I'm still pulling for him to sign a multi-year deal (two or three) with either the Lakers or Heat this offseason so he can close out his career with a Finals win with a team that sorely needs his level of talent at the PG position.

Great analysis here.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

And people laughed at me when I said trade Wade...

Yeah, he's just kind of ignorant. He thinks anything that can't be quantified doesn't exist, which is poor logic to say the least.

[ellsburyforMVP]

And people laughed at me when I said trade Wade...

 

They're still laughing.......

 

Just for the simple fact, you can not and will not get equal value for wade..... And then where does it end?? If they don't win then, trade bosh?? Your so ignorant and readily blame everything on everyone but lebron? Ever think maybe lebron just can't win??
