Those stats are actually just for the current win streak. On the full season, LeBron James has 50 "clutch" assists. NBA record in a season is 55. I wonder how many Kobe and Jordan have combined over their career???
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/9073693/nba-lebron-james-next-decision No LeBron return to Cleveland is complete without somebody, in this case Windhorst for at least the third time, speculating about LeBron's possible RETURN to Cleveland. While he does helpfully point out that Miami is approximately 50 degrees warmer than Clevleand today,the rest of his article is incredibly slanted against the Heat. What Windhorst and most media types misunderstand about the new CBA is that it will be easier, rather than harder for teams like the Heat to stock with aging veterand. this is because the mid-level exception will be available to so few teams that most of the players who would normally get the mid-level will be forced to take the veteran minimum or slightly above that number. I like the Heat to win most of those battles
I want the Heat to win (only because I'd like to see someone break the streak record), but god I hope the game is close at the very least.
Sucks to have 3 of your top 4 players out with injury (especially when you weren't a great team to begin with).
Well we did look flat. Still might end up being too late. We can't keep relying on late game heroics.
You know what you have to do. Gotta crawl on your knees all the way to the AAA. Have someone with a broom help, and look out for bums who refuse to move.
Cavs are gonna get the last shot in this game with 5 seconds left. Wow. Gonna be a crazy finish. This crowd is going to explode.
Guess they figured they were owed one after getting hosed in Boston. Tough review either way, given the initial call.
That actually looked like both players had hands on it at the exact same time. Probably should have been a jump ball in a fair universe.
I do wonder sometimes if refs have way more different looks at these replays I couldn't really tell who the ball was off on the 2 they showed looked close to a tie
Even with the lead I expected to lose. Other than the Pacers' game on Monday I've watched every game this season and we are absolutely dreadful in the 3rd quarter and usually bad to end the half. Shocker, same thing happened today. Only now instead of hearing about the streak continuing (which would be fine), we get to hear about the heroic effort of the heat coming back from 27 down. Except that they came back on a team that was missing 3 of it's top players, two of whom are two of the 3 primary ball handlers (not to mention scorers). I doubt that gets mentioned since all I see on twitter is "55-19." I mean I got people like Ken LaVicka before the game (while it was in delay) saying that the Heat should just be awarded the game because the Cavs have no chance anyway (although I believe we only lost by 1 pt the last time we played). Oh, but then he gets to rip on the Cavs later on after they give up the lead? No, you (not you guys, majority of people I've seen talk though) can't have your cake and eat it too.
Cavs came out with ridiculous energy that first half. Not sure what happened that 3rd quarter. Heck of an effort still given the circumstances.
The same thing that happens almost every 3rd quarter (outscored by 57 in the 3rd quarter of the last 10 games).
We also missed a ridiculous amount of open shots in the second quarter that we didn't miss in the second half. Odds evening out.
