*The Official 2011-12 NBA Thread*

This is bigger than Bosh being out.

 

You have no idea what was said!!!!! You're overreacting just a tad much. It's only one game and if they can take the next one it's back to home court. So settle down mang

 

...think he lost the team if he lost Wade.

 

I absolutely agree. There is no place for it. I think it's a combination of frustration and emotions running high.

 

I'm fine. Its kind of funny to me now...I get paid tomorrow so I'll go to bed, wake up eat a nice breakfast and enjoy my day off.

I just dont see the need to ever get in your coaches face like that. Being a superstar doesn't make it okay. If Eddie Curry did that he would be cut.

 

Have to know how to approach your players, obviously given Wades performance, that was not the right approach.

 

The entire team is playing lazy on defense.

 

So because Wade is playing like crap and doing idiotic things his coach isn't allowed to give him any pointers? Maybe Wade should coach the team seeing as how he knows everything there is to know. Being in the action you don't always have the best view of what is really going on. Maybe if he gave Spo a listen the game would be a little different.

 

I just wish they would put in the thugs near the end of the game. Place some good, solid hard fouls on them before its over.

 

Just put in Eddie Curry and let him whoop some ***

 

No, put him in to knock Granger on his *** with a nice hard foul or three

 

its not just wade though. That's the issue. Lebron is like 1-8 since that timeout also.

 

The offense the rest of the way should just be give Lebron the ball and let him do whatever the F he wants with it.

 

The Heat deserve this with the way they're playing defense.

 

Wow they threw in the towel with 2 1/2 mins to go

 

Hey look! A drive to the basket and whala a foul called. Thats what they did in game one

 

Tomorrow's Headline: "LeBron's Playoff Woes Contagious?"

 

Down by 20.

Nice to see Lebron talking to the bench though. Hopefully they don't feel out of this series.

 

If ur a Heat fan u gotta like what Bron just did, showed a lot of leadership after having a bad game, while Wade pouted on th bench......

 

Just saying. I don't think Durant and Westbrook give up when down 20

 

First of all they didn't pull themselves so that point is....not even a point.

 

My question is this....Miller goes 2-3 from three but everyone is jacking up threes.....except Miller.

 

Derrick Rose doesn't either. Pretty sure James and Wade didn't walk up to Spo and ask to be taken out..

 

I do have to say though Hibbert is a hell of a player. He should be a guy averaging a double-double every night with 20 and 10 at least. I respect everyone on that squad minus Granger.

 

Agreed, Hibbert is a beast I like his game a lot. West and Granger I can do without but I don't mind the rest of them.

 

Bosh to make a heroic return in game 4 and will lead the Heat to victory.


Heat in 6

 

Wait is he cleared to come back? Don't get me excited like that.

 

Yes, he's perfectly healthy. They found out he was never injured in the first place!

 

You mean his uterus was just fine this entire time?



j/k.

 

Cmon heat! This isn't even fun. You're supposed to build up the hopes of your fanbase of winning a championship before you crush their dreams in a flameout of majestic proportions in the finals. Granted a rd 2 exit is way more humiliating but strangely not as satisfying. I am torn. Should I root for the soul crushing experience that comes with losing in the finals or the beyond embarrasing humiliation that would come if the greatest dynasty ever were to get bounced in rd 2

 

Dude save the dynasty talk, they haven't won anything yet.....

 

Im still waiting for that explanation as to why Durant hasn't been to the finals yet, Adam.

 

Doesn't have a clutch gene.

Problem is that nobody in the world has the gene. Kobe Bryant only has half a clutch gene left since he had to give Vanessa half.

 

That's what I was thinking as well. Last player to have that gene was MJ.

Fantastic analysis, Stringer. Case closed. KD doesn't have a clutch gene, so he will never make it to the Finals.

 

Why Spoelstra refuses to unleash James Jones boggles me.

I really dont know if I am more pissed or embarassed. Thank god I couldnt catch the game, I would have put a fist through the wall.


Really if you're gonna play that poorly why bother making the flight to Indiana at all?

 

waiting for the third piece. you dont win rings with 2
they probably wont beat the spurs because they are playing lights out but they will take over when the spurs get too old

Great argument. Waiting for the third peice. As if Westbrook and Harden aren't enough along with the rest of the solid players they have.

 

but lebron predicted not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven but......

yeah they really had the team around them to compete for a championship. hell, the nets should have won this year. they have deron williams. why even have two. you should be able to win with one
