Both teams won fair and square.

Just create a god damn ref thread so you guys can discuss all you want there.

Welcome to realgm playoff threads. It doesn't matter who wins or loses, it's always 8 on 5 according the losing team's fans.

Top 50 maybe, top 20 all time? What are you smoking? Top 20 SG I agree

Slam magazine had Wade at 49 all time in 2011, with 2 less titles. You best believe he's gone up since then.

Definitely within the top 20 now

Or maybe Miami deserves some credit.

They are the common denominator.

Apparently all those Heat fans that expect a tough series are Pacers homers. :lol:

So silly.


Meh, meant to say only the worst kind of homer, dumbass, or Heat fans that are humble to a fault could think otherwise. But let's be real: The Pacers franchise is garbage, and has always been garbage. The highlight of that franchise's misterable history is being the final doormat in the East for Jordan and now LeBron.


:lol:

Thank you for making it clear you're not worth responding to in the future. Silly kids.

Wade is my least favorite player in the NBA, but he's easily a top 50 player all time. I don't know about top 20, but I'm a hater.

LeBron has more playoff game winners in his career than Kobe. With half the playoffs played and with a lot more efficiency. So I don't believe that's the case.

There was a myth created in 2011 in the NBA finals. Did LeBron play like crap against Dallas in the 4th? Yes. I got news for you, after the 3rd quarter in game 2 he played like crap the entire series.

I think a lot of the playoff "choking" accusations really hit their peak with LeBron when he "quit" on the Cavs in his last season with a "fake" elbow injury.


Idk if they were fake or not but Cleveland did not lose because of LeBron.

Jamison got raped by KG, Mo never showed up (like always), Parker was never supposed to be at the starting 5 of any contender.

James played bad at game 5, but his team never gave him the chance to get it going late. He started the game poorly, and his team was soon down by a lot.

That Celtics team was great. Looking back at how it all came out they could have won 3 championships (2008 to 2010). Even at 2011 and 2012 I felt like Celtics were legit.

Wade really came through tonight, especially with James' slow start. He produced offense (pretty tough shots, no less), and so did the Miami bench. Indy's bench was pretty bad today, and George was a relative nonfactor until too late (1-11 or something to start). Miami focused on its defense, and that dictated the pace of the game. They made it a defensive battle and honestly it didn't look like Miami struggled too much getting offensive looks, aside from some pressure in the paint as usual against a big team like indy...

Just saw the highlights, man Crazy Lance went off tonight.

Vogel is stupid for going to the guy who sucked tonight (PG) and not letting Crazy Lance have it in the 4th after a great 3rd quarter.

Why was Hill on Wade? Lance needs to be on him tbh.

Vogel needs to stop playing Scola and give Copeland some burn. He is by far the worst player out there and outside of Paul being terrible was the biggest reason Indiana lost this game.

Right, yeah. Hence the quotations. I was trying to imply a bit of sarcasm there. LeBron takes a lot of criticism, deserved or not.

Just like how some Miami fans have been clamoring for Beasley to get some burn; Copeland is Indy's Beasley. A shame too because Copeland can play.

Paul George + George Hill tonight man (Roy + Lance just awesome)

Hibbert with the big 13 boards (which he should always have double digit rebounds):

Vogel should have kept the ball in Lance's hands (dumb mistake).

Agreed - they really need to give Copeland a chance. I just think his defense is too poor for Vogel to be ok with it other than in a desperate situation in need of 3s.
