Game 5 Post Game/Vent Thread

Lebron will surely come thorugh.... You can expect 40/10/7 ATLEAST

No offense, but this is the problem, depending on one guy to do it all or most of it. Everyone knows that this is what you're trying to do. What then is the purpose of role players, did the role players actually play key roles last night?

I guess I was venting a little bit there, no offense

Spo is the worst coach and needs to be gone as soon as the season ends.

But one thing that is overlooked is the character of this team. You look at the Celtics and you got warriors like KG, Pierce, Rondo, Pietrus (even Allen is a silent one), great leaders with huge hearts and driven to win. They do what it takes to motivate and make sure everyone plays hard at all times.
You look at the Heat and who do you got? Wade. UD. That's about it (Turiaf too but he doesn't play). Bosh and Lebron have all the talent in the world but in my eyes they lack heart. Battier, Miller, JJ, Rio, Joel are emotionless puppets.

In the regular season, talent is enough. But in the playoffs and the big games, heart is what makes the difference between 2 talented teams.

I don't want to say this, but if the Spurs win tonight, I will feel better about our chances tomorrow. Just heard the SAS rant just now on "morning buzz'

What is it with your fascination of the spurs? We aren't the spurs they won 18 straight we didn't it's irrelevant if they win or lose to what we do.

Our team needs to man up and give 100% effort in G6. Then we'll win. Simple.

Lebron should have realized if he wants to win to do it himself, Role players are basically holding him back at the moment, He needs to not settle in the second half and keep attacking, make freethrows and play defense, NO MORE PASSING TO SCRUBS

How is this any different that when we just had Wade here? Pass the ball to Wade and get the bleep out of the way? Sound familiar? Again we have fundamental issues that fall not only on Spo but his staff. Loyalty is nice but were in the business of winning. Sometimes those two things work side by side sometimes they dont.

Tickle me comment about bron having no heart. Maybe if his coaches and teammates stop seeing him as some kinda of machine. Next game lebron needs to come out going for steal on defense, go 1 out of 10 in the first half, then score about 4times straight on easy passing from his teamates because that is the standard of showing heart by many.

[krikor]

to be fair, miller chalmers battier need to be mentally strongerr.they need to make open 3's.

pietrus knocks every open 3, while our scrubs miss every open 3.

[Tommy Gun]

And maybe Wade needs to show up in the first half.
This is getting ridiculous

[Flash4thewin]

I will get flamed for this comment, and maybe it's frustration talking... but...

I see that LeBron James is a front runner who gets frustrated when things go bad, and internally gives up. He does this because, in his mind, he is being taken for granted, he thinks he is doing enough to win, and if he feels his team is sucking,,, he gets pissed off and gives up. If he feels his team has lost control, and he really has doubts about his team coming back, the guy gives up mentally.

I don't see that in Wade. Let's ignore all of Wade's history, just in Game 6 of the Finals last season, Wade was out there blocking Dirk's shots at the rim, doing everything and anything in the 4th quarter to win the damn game, while LBJ couldn't score 1 point and looked passive.

LeBron is a front runner. He has frustration issues, imo.

Against the Pacers, LeBron was confident in the final moments of Game 3 when the Heat were about to go down 2-1 because he felt the Heat were the better team.

but when he feels otherwise.....he quits.

I read this and had to respond, remember above everything were all Heat fans not player fans, that said i disagree completely, its like your mistaking Player B with player A right now.

Have you not seen how player A guarder everyone rebounds like a mad man and still scores at a high rate. Its like everyone thinks player A is super man and can play all game, he cant he gets tired and it shows.

Player B "might show up" in the second half of the game, (remember a game has two half), has played subpar defense and instead of running back on defense whines like a baby after every non call ( Even Rondo is clowning him on his).

I love player B but come on its not even relevant to bring up something that happened six years ago, I care about today and these playoffs not the past. ( For the record most of the people in our championship team are out of the league to give you an idea of how long ago that was)

Maybe im being to hard on player B but its just that he is capable of so much more and its frustrating seeing this version of him. If we had last year version of player B we win game 4 and finish the celtics at home in game 5. Instead now we have to win game 6 just to force a game 7

[Coolpack]

Coach must tell the guys to cut more often NOT to WATCH the isolations on d wade and lebron to MAINTAIN defensive stress on the CELTICS D!

[Heat_team02]

Thought I'd lighten up the mood around here.

[OtW]

If we lose tomorrow, we pretty much would have blown the clearest path/greenest light to the finals that we may ever have.

How embarrassing. We HAVE to win tomorrow. No excuses. Go big or go home. That goes for everyone on our team.

[Alleyooops]

IMO Spo absolutely cannot justify only playing Bosh 14 minutes when he actually was playing well. Next game he better play his usual minutes if not the full 48. Garnett is getting a very easy pass on defense cause he doesn't have to guard anyone outside of the paint. Bosh needs to be in every second KG is. If he's knocking down shots great, if not he still pulling KG away from the paint.

And despite his past offensive failures Joel has played pretty great this series and has been able to finish easy shots around the rim while playing good defense. No excuse not to play him at all last game unless he was hurt.

And obviously it would be nice to get a full 48 minutes from Wade.

If this team just goes out and are agressive offensively and gives it 100% on defense they'll win. Bottom line they can't hold anything back, lay everything on the line.

[OtW]

I hope we don't crumble under the pressure tomorrow and come out guns blazing...

If Boston gets off to a fast start, it's over. We have tried fighting through that before, we are 0-2 in that regard, and hence, we're tied 2-2 last night before losing.

I'm more lenient with Lebron this season for his 4th quarter performances because it's hard to be on physically and mentally on top when you pretty much play all minutes of all games

[heretic_tres]

HAHAHAHAHA

[Woolyy]

If Spoelstra isn't fired I'm done watching them. Pat Riley needs to step the F up and coach the team he created. Some (Please Use More Appropriate Word) that doesn't play people because it's not"fair" is our coach? Is this some type of joke?

18 million a year and it's not fair to play him? Jesus Christ.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Heat get the next two. Wooop Wooop.

[Jan_Sobieski]

HAHAHAHAHA

I hereby officially call you scrub of the year. A Chaz Bono type that would suck off to anything. lol

[Sc0pe92]

I feel so mad/depressed today *sigh* dammit man, I dunno what else to say or think about this team. All I gotta say is Just Win tomorrow. I really dont want Lebrons MVP season to end like this again.
