Game 5 Post Game/Vent Thread

[DefenseWins]

wrong, celtics lost game 6 & 7 in LA, the finals is 2 - 3 - 2 format..

I totally forgot. BUT THEY STILL WON GAME 6 AND 7


Pat Riley's Lakers I believe went through something like this too

[King_John]

We have to realize now that the big 3 adventure is over...it didn t work for whatever reason...all of us thaught they would dominate the league for years...they didn t they failed...as simple as that...move on

[King_John]

As for LeBron i hope he will get his ring eventually...would be a shame if he doesn t

[WD]

Listening to isreal gutierrez(spelling may be wrong) - and I like the discussion. says this team is ripe for a Phil Jackson infusion, but I don't think it'll never happen. He also says the guys look like they are just waiting for something bad to happen, no energy.

Said basically if Pat Riley wants to preach sacrifice, then he should sacrifice his ego and bring in Jackson or another coach.

So disregard I ever said this, Pat Riley does not get along with Phil or something like that

I remember in 2010, the Celtics did just this, but they got blown out on their home floor by the Lakers in game 6 (Lakers lost at home in game 5), and Lakers won in game 7.

Obviously it isn't the Finals

But it can be done.

IT CAN BE DONE LETS GO HEAT

Kendrick Perkins went down with injury. If not for that, the Celtics would have won.

I really want to be positive and say Miami brings it back home for a game 7. But they have yet to prove they can fight back from adversity. Its easy to fight back 2 games to 1 against a moronic Indiana team. But 3-2 against a grizzled vet team with a coach who is just a winner will be hard as hell.

I'm not giving up hope all together but we've been here before and just when you think they're going to come out with a different attitude and dominate, they've had big let downs. I'm still hoping though!

Then I guess that's it. We will probably be seeing our team's season end in a blowout with hopeless looks on their faces, just waiting for it all to end.

This team simply cannot OVERCOME, no matter what they have said.

That's just another guys opinion - stay positive

As a Laker fan, I just have to correct this. Game 5 was in Boston and Game 6 was in LA. Remember, the Finals go to a 2-3-2 format. Just wanted to point that out.

If anything, a better example would be Semi-Finals match-up between the Celtics and Magic if you wanted to speak about the Celtics. They lost Game 6 in Orlando and Game 7 in Boston.

All that said, good luck tomorrow.

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.

Not fair how? The man is a competitor. He lives for those moments.

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'

[OtW]

Lol, I am reaching big time, but the weather outside today reminds me of the weather the day after we lost the finals-- all **** and stormy. Although it is hurricane season.

I want to respond to this, because this is a good point - I'll make it simple and add YOU into my response.

let's say that your boss always says how valuable you are to the company, how much you contribute, etc., etc. There is a big inspection in your company, major people coming down to decide wether to get a new building or not(just follow me). Then you do your required share whatever it is, but your company still fails the inspection or whatever, how would you feel?

1st feeling is to want to blame your co-workers for not helping the company pass the inspection cause remember "you are the best, you contribute so much, etc. etc., etc.'

If we win tomorrow, I feel that we will win the ECF

Everybody in the gotdamn NBA is a front runner. This dude have putting massive minutes and have right to be frustrated. Lebron is shooting the ball, its just his shoots are not falling.

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