Game 1 Post Game NBA Finals

I just ask that we play smarter. Wade keeps jacking up shots, lebron did the same. I dnt want us to get caught up in their jump shooting game. That's not us. We have to play smarter

Lebron may have to actively control the game the rest of the series

If the Heat win game 2 then you have 3 shots at either closing out the series at home or going up 3-2 with game 6 in OKC with their backs to the wall.

If you lose game 2 then all the pressure is on the Heat to win all 3.

So don't go into panic mode unless you lose game 2.

This is spot on. OKC did what they were supposed to do. Now it's time for us to take a game.

Last thing I'll do is listen to a KNICKS fan on how to win a playoff series

KD also played 46 minutes in this game. He had 17 pts in the 4th. I don't see how the he played 46 mins excuse is valid.

KD isn't asked to guard everyone. I don't think you've seen all the Heat games judging by your avatar, but what this team asks for LeBron in the time span that he plays, is ridiculous.

Durant always plays long minutes, but he isn't asked to lock down anyone. LeBron even plays center and started off the game guarding Perkins... even Perkins trying to post him up.

I don't think I'd see the day Durant doing something like that. Obviously Durant played very well today and I take nothing away from him, but LBJ's minutes were more than they appear because of what he's asked to do.

Basically just told him this. He doesn't even watch our regular season games and just talks **** like the rest of the GB clowns.

I have seen enough games of yours to know that yes you do ask him to do a lot for your team. But Durant was out there guarding Bron. So its not like he was just standing there guarding battier the whole time.

I think you are discreting Durant because he is not the primary ball handler like Bron. But regardless he is the leader of the team. He needs to come through in the 4th or you have no shot. 46 mins or not is not an excuse.

Not sure if we ever have a sense of urgency. Obviously it's not good to panic, but damn. Take sh** seriously, take losses seriously, it's not all pie in the sky. We gotta learn from that.

It's hard to take these guys seriously sometimes. I'm not expecting them to come out crying, but they take losses too lightly and it isn't until they "feel" their back is completely against the wall (in a 3-2 hole) or something that we see a sense of urgency from them. It's frustrating.

On the bright side, we have played better when we are down

One thing i know for sure, win or lose Spobot has to be kicked to the curb just for what i saw today.

There was long stretches in 3 of the quarters where Durant was just standing around while Westbrook ran the offense.

James doesn't have that luxury.

Exactly. Thanks at least one person realizes I am not trolling and actually am here to talk basketball.

Dwyane "I was attacking, giving my teammates shots...attacking to me is being aggressive"

"That's just the way it is designed for me"

"I try to get my teammates good looks"

This is what I worried about. That's not owning up to your problems, that's just making excuses. Man I really hope he adjusts.

Slot Machine · Post #212 » by **Slot Machine** » Wed Jun 13, 2012 4:39 am

Another reason not to panic: OKC blew a huge chance to steal Game 1 last series against the Spurs. How'd that work out? Now's not the time to give up.

Semi tangent: What bothers me the most about Spoelstra is his inability to speak in anything other than cliches and abstracts. Just be REAL

I would have much preferred an honest answer from him. Yeah I took some bad shots, we settled for too many jumpers, I need to attack more...but nope. Talk is talk though, maybe he'll show it in Game 2.

He made it to the finals. No way he doesn't return as coach next season.

I hate when players say, the shots just didn't go in... blah blah.

it was more than that

LeBron said we need more guys and production to give he and Wade a rest, if thats not a message to your coach then i dont know what is.

Yup, Brooks is not a good coach but at least he gives direct instructions on what to do better/change. Spo is all tired cliches.
