Never doubted this man. You can look through all my posts ever. I've always defended UD. Even when he's having a bad game at least he actually jumps up for rebounds and he brings passion every single time he steps on the floor...

I'll eat my crow happily. I love the way he got into West's face. That turned the game and possibly the series for us.

1. Alonzo Mourning
2. D-Wade
3. LBJ
4. Haslem

That's my order of fav heat players ever.

I thought Haslem was done years ago. Im glad he could prove me wrong with 2 prime ECF games,

I don't get this. So Bosh has 2 good games, they adjust and keep him guarded on the perimeter allowing not only more drives to the basket but leaving guys like Haslem WIDE OPEN when Hibbert rotates to help.

Did you see that 2nd to last possession by Wade? Where Haslem got his last shot in? Wade drove, classic, blew by defender and was one on one with Hibbert backpedalling. I know the usual expectation, I had it too, was for him to drive right at the big and force the issue. What happened? He gave up a contested trick shot for a wide open short Haslem baseline shot. So basically you **** on Wade for not ball hogging and stat padding but praising a guy who only had a decent night because our stars aren't ball hogging idiots willing to go 8-26 just cuz their SUPERSTARS!

Seriously, give our team credit. We shot 50% AS A TEAM. Lebron shot 50% himself, so that means the rest of the team also shot 50%. When guys get hot we give them the ball, or to Lebron because he is amazing. I truly don't see what's wrong with that.

Haslem had a great game, but give credit to our team to feeding the hot hand, and taking open shots versus superstar contested fade-aways because they get more money.

When did Bosh have 2 good games? Because in this Pacers series, everything Bosh scores, he gives up and more on the defensive end.

I believe Game 4 he showed up last year too against the Pacers. I wasn't expecting him to have this type of impact.

Guess it's safe to say it doesn't matter what these guys do (Shane, Ray, Haslem, etc) in the regular season, just contribute in the playoffs where it matters.

Because Haslem outplayed Hibbert? C'mon bro, they had to double and even triple team Hibbert at times. Bosh isn't a physical player and anyone who expected to see Bosh overpower Hibbert or West are just out of their minds. What Bosh brought last year and this year, is making it impossible for this team to stuff the paint, without giving up open shots. Spacing is apparently not important, yet last year that was everyone's go to excuse for almost coughing up the series, and the reason we won out at the end.

This is the BEST, I repeat THE BEST defensive team in the NBA by almost every metric we are playing against. Give them a little credit. Haslem made his open shots, great, not like he got the basketball in the post and owned Hibbert. He took advantage of Pacers basically giving him open looks rather than letting our Big 3 get to the basket.

Deep teams are made for moments like this. For all the Cleveland Cavs talk, our team shot 50% outside of Lebron. Doesn't have to be Wade/Bosh/Lebron combining for 70+ pts. That's a GREAT thing, not a bad thing. Haslem stepped up, next game it could be Ray or Battier, the guys everyone apparently thinks should not even be on the court - see Mike Miller last year's Finals.

Bosh is playing the role asked of him. Nothing more, nothing less. If you want to give Bosh 26 shots, put him in the post, etc he can probably give you close to 30 too. On defense, he could probably do okay on just about every PF in the NBA right now.

I said all season, Rio and UD have championship mettle. You don't turn your back on guys who've delivered for you in past championship moments. Especially not when it's just meaningless regular season games. I'm glad UD seems to have regained his stroke. Better late than never. We've gotten so used to playing without his offensive production that now it's all bonus. PEACE.

He's probably the only guy who ever stood up to David West. West is well known for picking on smaller players, ect.

Beast.
GOAT.
God.

A little overreaction by me? Sure.

But I agree with MastaKiiLA, UD and Chalmers are two guys I have a lot of confidence in when it comes to key games. Haslem never gets punked or lets people mess with his teammates. I love that guy.

So now we hate on Bosh ?
Till when ? Till Bosh has a great game and Haslem a really bad one, and then we go back to hatin on Udonis ?

I have always defended UD (and Bosh, and Chalmers). People need to be less fickle.

Chalmers got huge balls and I wouldn't be scared of anyone with UD on my side. West's tough guy act doesn't scare him. At most, it amuses UD.

Now the people who should bear most of the responsibility are Lebron, Wade and Spoelstra.
They shat the bed in g4 and the first half of g5, but came back roaring in the 2nd half.

Now if only the offense could start moving the ball again, like they did during the streak, instead of waiting for Lebron to save them.
