Required?? No. But if you think NY/ Miami wouldn't have CRUSHED these ratings then you have a lot to learn about life.
Last year's ECF--Boston vs Miami--averaged 6.2. You have a lot to learn about life in a sports landscape where New York is irrelevant.
That three Bosh hit was pretty much the ugliest shot I've seen from the hand to the hoop and made it.
Last year huh...lol, way to deflect. Anyways, one thing message boards have taught me was people who don't get it, don't get that they don't get it. Soooo, enjoy the game.
Wonder if Barkley gets a serious talking to for his line "I know the NBA wants Miami in the finals but.."
Horrible last 3 minutes for Lebron. Reality is this Heat team is a 5-6 seed without him. Also this is evidence Indiana is a much better basketball team than I originally thought. This is going to be a great series.
Thought I was the only one who noticed that towel thread after the commercial lol. Good game played by Indiana. Miami's defense was subpar this game and again couldn't hit out free throws. We could have won this one despite that awful D. Oh well - guess it just means more NBA bball which is never a bad thing. Lord knows I have nothing after this season is over the joke that the Marlins are.
I actually was impressed by Miami's defense late...The Pacers just aren't scrubs, Paul George has been the second best player on the court in this series.
doesn´t matter how they reached overtime, they just find ways to do it, a bold coaching decision to leave hibbert on the bench on the final play saved the heat from beeing 0-2 probably
Have the Heat won the championship yet? Indiana... San Antonio.... Memphis.... I mean really... Lebron the Facilitator.
Why are we overturning one result but not letting others overturn the other? My point was both games were very close and could have gone either way. Also it should be see and not saw.
Heart breking loss. Gotta win on Sunday. Has LA accomplished anything other than a cluster**** this season? No? Then have a coke and a smiile and shut the **** up.
seriously lebron is a beast, next to kd, but he doesn't have a lot of help at the moment, I don't think.
Hes right. Maybe teh Pacers were lucky to make it to OT in game 1 but its possible that only a poor coaching decision to bench a good shot-blocker and rim protector prevents them from being down 0-2. JUst like the Pacers are lucky Lebron played out of character those last 40 seconds and committed 2 ugly TO's. Point is had either team closed out both games properly either team could be up 2-0 or down 2-0. Bosh is all over that. Thats why he wanted to play in South Beach in the first place.
I think they did well in the paint the second half defensively. To me forget the defense, forget the TO's late, Lebron was forced to be a shade of Carmelo last night...he had NO secondary option doing their job. Game 3 will be very interesting.
Thats on LeBron and Spo. I'm not worried about them making adjustments. But the entire team wasn't good enough defensively. Only 13 turnovers from the Pacers is a bad sign.
LA? The Lakers? The Clippers? I don't really like basketball anymore. I didn't even watch last night's game.. I saw it was close in the 3rd quarter and decided to watch my DVR'd Hells Kitchen. It just seems to me that this is a foregone conclusion. That the Heat will repeat given the other three teams, on paper which is all I have to go by since I don't watch this **** anymore. So relax and consider yourself lucky Heat fans.
