You work for the Heat?

Someone had to teach Lebron his post moves.

 

[ph33nix]

did you not see Bosh on the court? lmao

He's been back for 3 games and he just made a huge contribution in game 7

Go away

 

[Fjordson]

Who guards Bosh? Would say Ibaka, but I almost think you could put Perkins or Collison on him and let Serge roam the lane.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

If Heat lose the Finals, is Spo still gone? Trades still happening?

 

[CrazyDogg77]

Does anybody else think OKC has the advantage over Miami because they have similar styles but OKC does it better? I think trying to run with this team will produce the same affect it had for the Spurs: losses.

 

[MiamiWesker]

U Cuban?

I was born in Miami, parents are Cuban. I don't mind the pots, it's a cultural thing, it's the total lack of understand when you do it that embarasses me. But this is Miami, front-running capital of the world.

 

[Puddles]

Un-fucking-believable.

All the Celtics had to do was not get outscored by more than six points in the 2nd half, and they couldn't even do that.

Fuck those geriatric shitpiles. Then again, they were playing five on eight. Fuck Stern.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

did you not see Bosh on the court? lmao

Or the dancing in the locker room?

Remember this "acceptance" of the WCF "trophy" in 2009?

No one on our team would even touch that POS.

 

[KingGondo]

Derek Fisher better get a a Game 4 (ORL) or Game 3 (BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-STON) performance for you guys.

He's been playing within himself except for game 2.

I trust him to take corner threes, and that's it. He knows his role and I love that he's not afraid to take big shots.

Defense will be the key, though. We have the athletes to keep Miami out of transition, and we have the length to bother all of their best players. The rest comes down to effort and not fouling.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Lebron rocking his unitard.

 

[ph33nix]

During the season they put Perkins on Bosh a lot ... probably will be the case to keep Ibaka in the paint

 

[Lkr]

its the ECF. what is there to celebrate?

They do have an advantage, but Miami still has the best player on the court. He could always not show up of course, like last year, but that's the facts.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Man these reporters.. Ray Allen looks scattered emotionally up there

 

[PBY]

Lol my rents are Cuban too, totally feel u on that.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

You work for the Heat?

He's not the first or last to use "we" and "us" alot, haha.

 

[PBY]

Jesus

 

[CrazyDogg77]

I think Lebron won't go off in these games like he did against Boston. Durant's length will bother him more in my opinion.

yeah lol because no one wanted anything short of a title.

Chalmers
Wade
Bron
Haslem
Bosh

Means Ibaka can't roam as much as he wants.

 

[KingGondo]

Mmm... Ibaka roaming the paint again.

Perk loves matching up against softies like Bosh. Fresh meat.

 

[Fjordson]

Damn...Ray all emotional...feel bad for the dude.

 

[iamshadowlark]

idk why the Heat are so excited to win the ECF. they did it last year too. i can understand the Thunder players being happy since Perkins/Fisher are the only ones with experience. i just don't think the heat will be mentally sharp in game 1. boston wore them down and okc is going to run circles around them

Its not like they were just down 2-3 while everyone in the world counted them out. Nope. I wouldn't be happy either.

Anyway,

Kevin Durant in the WCF: 29.5 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 5.3 apg, 1.7 spg, 1.5 bpg, 53% FG, 91% FT

LeBron James in the ECF: 34 ppg, 10.8 rpg, 4.2 apg, 1.3 bpg, 1.2 spg, 54% FG

LBJ vs KD should be fucking epic.

Fitting that they worked out together in the Offseason

 

[Judderman]

Ray

 

[Puddles]

Durant > Lebron.

 

[TylerD]

The KD and Lebron workout videos are awesome.

 

[jman2050]

Durant > Lebron.

Nope

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I think LeBron and Wade should have an easier time since OKC's defense is much worse than Boston's.

 

[Kintaro]

Miami has Kevin Durant too?!

=)

 

[Nobility]

Depressed Ray Ray makes me very sad.

 

[ph33nix]

Mmm... Ibaka roaming the paint again.

Perk loves matching up against softies like Bosh. Fresh meat.

Except that Bosh will get him to foul and then that smile will turn back into a scowl

 

[ryutaro's mama]

yeah lol because no one wanted anything short of a title.
same shit in 2010: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rEvqKI1ooo

I remember that.

We didn't even bother putting on those POS shirts and hats in 2010.

 

[PBY]

Bosh at the mic

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

As an aside, passing and defense are pretty important in basketball.

 

[Lkr]

Its not like they were just down 2-3 while everyone in the world counted them out. Nope. I wouldn't be happy either.

Pretty sure most of us thought the Heat were still going to win the series

Ok I guess??? If thats the straw you have to reach for...

Go back and read the thread after game 5

 

[Red Blaster]

This will be last year's ECF part deux

 

[DJ88]

Un-fucking-believable.

Haha ok man, it was Stern.

Feel bad for Allen, looks like he was crying earlier.

 

[Vire]

Man the amount of fouls about to be called is going to be unreal.

Just warning you guys now.

 

[iamshadowlark]

Yeeeeaaaaah no. Something something Vindication derp derp derp blow it up...

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

It could be, but I think Durant is a bit more likely to meltdown.

 

[Lkr]

I remember that.

I think winning the conference finals on the road is an advantage since you have the small locker room interview and nothing stupid at center court

Go back and read the thread after game 5

I think there was a difference between what we were posting and what we were actually feeling. Boston never really felt in control in the series do to their collapse in game 2.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Ok I guess??? If thats the straw you have to reach for...

Not sure why you are ass hurt over this...

We don't celebrate conference championships in LA.

That isn't the peak for us.

We don't hang conference championship banners either.

Feel free to do all that in MIAMI doe.

[DMczaf]

Thunder vs Heat?

"Do you understand the meaning of the word Forbodden?"

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Bosh better start in the finals. Enough of this Spo

 

[fse]

So how did the Heat do against the Thunder this year?

not one, not two, not three, etc irrelevant jersey(s) hangs in staples center either

 

[Black Mamba]

I think LeBron and Wade should have an easier time since OKC's defense is much worse than Boston's.

They'll have to defend more too, though. They can't play Rondo defense on Westbrook. And they'll have to defend Harden, not just chase Ray around (who stunk). And Durant >>> Pierce.

Of course, having Bosh back will make their offense look better by default. OKC had the 2nd best offense this season. Boston was in the 20s.

I think Brooks is going to have to play Collison more than Perkins, though. Who does Perkins even guard?
