Go ahead and explain how it is a distraction then Chachi. If you don't think CP3 dropping you two extra dimes a game doesn't effect your efficiency, there's not much hope for you.pretty stinky bait there, chief.Stick to checkers son. Let the men play chess.
Color me shocked that our friend Ferris had nothing to say about the Heat's failures down the stretch last night, but jumped at the opportunity to take a shot at Kobe for his comments to the media during the Lakers off day.
Oh come on. Wade was pissed that he didn't get the call at the other end and that was his response. He was acting like a little kid who didn't get his way.
Bingo. Confirmation bias is pretty much synonymous with Laker fandom and LeBron hating at this point.
I agree that Wade was as big, if not a bigger culprit last night, which is why I specifically said "Heat failures".As Legler pointed out this morning, LeBron had the ball twice on the 2nd to last possession, and moved the ball quickly w/o probing or attacking. And of course we know on the last possession, he was a decoy, and not even involved in the play.
Great point. This whole LeBron not being aggressive in game deciding offensive possessions in a complete work of fiction. George Karl, who this morning suggested he would want LeBron to be more aggressive in those situations, is obviously a Laker fan and LeBron hater.
How do you get upset over a basketball conversation? Trying to insult someone for having a different opinion on a couple basketball players?Go ahead and explain how it is a distraction then Chachi.

Do you guys actually have ego tied to this stuff?Relax. For some perspective, remember this is an NBA thread on a fantasy football message board. 
eta - same for the Kobe/LeBron haters.George Karl commented on the most recent game/the future. You, Groovus and others comment on the player's legacy. Totally different. Of course I could also point out that George Karl has never won an NBA championship, so I'm not sure why you think his opinion has value considering the criteria you generally apply.You cannot dismiss his earlier playoff heroics because they came in early rounds of the playoffs and simultaneously question his lack of heroics in those same playoff rounds. End of story.If you want to question his lack of assertiveness in close playoff games since he joined the Heat, fine. Seems like a very small data sample from which to draw any sort of conclusion, but whatever floats your boat. But that's not what I've been hearing and reading from you and your ifriends. You're questioning the man, not his role with the Heat. Maybe you just need to be clearer with your criticism.
Ok. Collison ran straight down the court to the hoop. It's EXACTLY like Jason Smith on Griffin, only Wade's use of the elbow to Collison's neck should be considered an even bigger intent to injure.
I am a little short fused lately due to getting up at/staying up til 4am to watch games. Sorry.How do you get upset over a basketball conversation?

I'd take the '09 Clev guys over both the Heat guys from last night, and the '03 Laker guys.
Um no. Try watching the video again. It's not easy to just stop when Wade was probably running twice as fast as Collison was, and then Collison tried to angle him off. I'm not saying he wasn't deserving of the flagrant. But it's not the same as Smith who sized up and hit Griffin.
I might have gone with Gibson, Wally or Hickson over Joe Smith.Cle - Williams and Varejao are the most legitimate starters of any of the players you've listed.LA/Mia - I'd slightly favor the Lakers here, but it's pretty much a toss up IMOETA: This exercise does point out the silliness of my initial statement when you consider the Heat have Wade. He might be able to go one on three against any of those "squads" and win.
No love for Eric Bledsoe's breakout game last night? That was my big takeaway from the Clippers last night.Feris is a great read even when he's wrong, which is often.
He owed the Clips big after his virtual no-show in round 1. I think the reality is somewhere between last night and last series, but he should give the Clips something vs. the Spurs.
Big time. 52% FG vs 40% FG, Sixers got rocked.Even when Philly was up after the first quarter, it wasn't good. As allowing 28 points is a recipe for disaster for us.
Time for LA to dig in defensively and take care of the ball. Do those two things, and I like LA's chances.
4 point game?
Totally agree here. Throwing a game away at 16-12? 10-6?4 point game?
the refs will back off...can't recall the last time Kobe fouled out in a big playoff game...Jordan rules basically.
0 TOs, and they've forces OK into 4 TOs, which is how many they had in Game 1.Lakers shot 38%, and Ok City 50%. Those numbers should go in opposite directions the rest of the game.
I thought he had two too.Whatever, it's a non-issue either way.
Worded terribly. Fouls called against guys guarding him.I thought he had two too.Whatever, it's a non-issue either way.
I haven't seen Hill take a cheap shot at anyone yet
