NBA Finals Thread: Mavericks vs. Heat

Still can't believe the Miami Heat missed 13 shots at the line. That's a lot of balls that didn't lie.

From this experiment there are certain conclusions:

Bosh is indeed a difficult player to work with in todays NBA. He cant be the main man to carry a team, but he does have offensive finnesse to be a capable scorer. In terms of his frame, he is too skinny and is easily overpowered down low, but when he packs pounds his frame tends to break down(natural for someone with that frame).

He can hit jumpers nicely, but is absolutely brutal down low. He fumbled the ball incredibly and cannot complete unless the play is an iso created for him.

His defense was brutal. How he let Dirk school him on those postups all series long and even barea completely blow by him was bad. He was a great defensive player in his first two years in the L but has definitely lost that. Hes no pushover, but I do think his days as an all star will come to an end if he maintains playing behind lebron and wade or any other two stars for that matter. This season proved he is not a franchise player and that lebron and wade are indeed a few notches above him. He is overpaid massively for that reason.

You guys catch Ledouche's comments that people can hate all they want, they will still have the same life in the morning???? (Im paraphrasing but it was something like that). What a **** arse.

Yea, and he also alluded to waking up to millions and millions of dollars and enjoying his life outside of basketball. He didn't actually say those exact words, but in speaking about his own life compared to those haters who wake up, that's pretty much what he meant.

The guy doesn't do the necessary things to win in the playoffs (mainly defense and rebounding) and he lacks an element of toughness (both mental and physical) that many other players have. His role on the team was that of an efficient mid-range jump shooter and the Heat can get that kind of production from many other players on the cheap. They simply don't need him, they never did.

LeBron lacks mental toughness.

What makes you believe that? With the confidence and ego LeBron James possess it does some what illustrate how mentally tough he is IMO. You don't have that sort of confidence if you're mentally weak.

It depends on who texted who first. If Dirk texted first, it could be along the lines of, "Suck me now Wade. And this time you're the reason why the Heat lost." (Though we know it's on LeBron instead).

What did he prove? That he can shoot a crappy percentage and put up a mediocre effort on the boards in the finals and not win a championship despite playing with Lebron and Wade?

Wade: "I made a mistake recruiting Bosh instead of you."
Dirk: "S'all good bro."

LOL.

I think the Heat are much better off without Lebron. He just doesn't have it.

People are saying he's become a All-Team defender on the Heat. :lol:

Lol, I liked what I saw from Cardinal in the serious. Hit some threes, drew charges, hard fouls, and even found Dirk for 3 as the defense closed on him :lol:

in all fairness to anyone **** talking about the heat, this is the first year they were together and despite everyone saying they weren't gonna even make it to the finals, they did. wade, lebron and bosh are still only 26 years old, wade 28, they still have another couple of years of championship runs left. they're probably gonna win at least one championship in the next 5 years. that being said, i'm glad dallas won because they deserved it. go dirk.

Someone needs to gif up that play where Barea walked into the paint and scored while LBJ and Bosh watched.

In all fairness to you, I think everyone knows it's their first year and they're a great team, their age, and no one is denying they'll get their chance again next year and the year after that. The bottom line is the way they came together, the decision, the celebration, declaring it would be easy and they'd win multiple championships, etc. All that fuels people to dislike them, so excuse me if people **** talk about them. It's deserved.

Royst · Post #2098 » by **Royst** » Mon Jun 13, 2011 6:23 am

To play devils advocate, Boston dealt with the same thing their first year and won the championship without declaring to the whole world they were going to win it.

Credit goes when credit is due, but if you're going to talk like everything is going to be easy, no one's going to give you any credit.

I think you misunderstood what he said.

His point was, life was goes on. Everyone goes their own way.

And this is coming from someone who hates the Heat.
