LOL @ Ed Davis

How many times will LeBron choke away the playoffs? Not five, not six, not seven...

I am starting to think Bosh doesn't like playing with these guys.

YEs! the most satisfaction I've ever had from another team winning a title!

CB4 was OK, Wade was very good, LeB was pathetic.

Congrats Dallas for a very deserved win! WHat a terrifically balanced team. Leadership, toughness, size, speed, shooters, energy, ball movement, coaching, defense, smarts, hustle...that was a true team.

A great ending to see Miami destroyed at home.

I'm so happy that the traitor and scum of the earth Bosh didn't win. He can go bye bye and cry like a little bitch that he is. Where are your stupid screams right now!

The Chicago Bulls played a quasi-zone defense against LeBron James, he didn't struggle. I don't know what forced LeBron to struggle, but it ain't the zone defense. 48% (10 points) of LeBron's offense came inside the paint (5 feet and within) or at the free-throw line tonight.


Did you not watch the Chicago series? Outside of that last eliminaton game--where Chicago were clearly going through the motions for their fans--The Heat went through horrible strtches of offence. They would almost go whole quarters without making a shot.

But in those droughts, Chicago didn't make any shots outside of game 1. Chicago was one shooter short the whole series. They got the same shots Dallas did. Dallas just fought through it until they made shots--and then, toyed with Miami's d the rest of the way.

Lebron will always have a good TS%, as will Wade. They are layup and dunk specialists. That doesn't mean they SHOT WELL, it means they just take good shots. But the truth is, they can't shoot.

Ask yourself this question. How does a team of slowfooted veterans stay with the "super powers" otherwise?

bakafool wrote:They're not. Sure they didn't perform to the best of their abilities but they are far from crappy. Many were expecting Miller would be great for Miami because of his outside shooting. Those guys can run. It's not like they're stiffs. Ilgauskas isn't suited for it, but he was productive in Cleveland and they ran every opportunity they got. Bibby and Miller were perfect as shooters who would give Lebron, Wade, and Bosh ample space and would knock down 3s in transition as well. Those guys are more than capable.


We thought Bibby and Miller would be able to knock down 3s in transition well, but didn't. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade practically create wide open looks for those two guys with their ability to dribble penetrate, but Miller and Bibby shot 30.6% and 25.8% from deep respectively during these playoffs which is very poor when you have tons of space. You'd at least expect them to shoot in the high thirty percentile with all that space. Miller and Bibby are simple living off their reputation from the past. With those percentages, it's crappy.

I thought Miami was fortunate to get by the Bulls so easily. They hit allot of crazy shots in crunch time during that series while the Bulls were bricking great looks.

Once Dallas started making their open looks, Miami really had no answer.

In the one season he didn't play for Toronto, he already achieved more than this whole organization achieved in it's entire history. U MAD?

The Heat bandwagoners praising Bosh must only be watching when the Heat have the ball.
