Huge tip-in. Fisher should have taken that shot.

I enjoyed that too. Looked like he was gonna run past, then POW!

Very nice alley.

Harden runs the offense very well. Kevin Durant is very good at scoring.

In other news, the sky is blue.

Ultimate teammate getting absolutely abused by Durant.

Looks like this series will be everything it was hyped up to be after all. The pressure is all on SA. Honestly, they're probably underdogs heading back home. They have not looked the same the last two games. Since Brooks made his adjustments, their defense has been much better. Their improvement has been more than just playing at home.

Durant and Ibaka were absolutely ridiculous.

Kevin Durant.

That is all.

Spo just called a timeout to say "Don't give the ball to Dwyane, he sucks".

The level of horrible that Wade has been on both ends of the court tonight has to be seen to be believed. He's personally responsible for at least half of their deficit.

James on the other hand has been ridiculous on O.

Halfway through the 2nd quarter and Miami attempts their first free throw.

Spoelstra has to bench Wade, this is ridiculous. Not sure I've ever seen a 'star' player play worse, and I watched the Knicks this season.

If Wade is being allowed to physically assault players like he just did with Pierce, I think you have to let him play.

But he's allowed to tackle the other teams players, then run down the court and get a ticky tack foul :lol:

these refs all post season have been so bad.

Heat are getting every call / no call.

paul · Post #2695 » by **paul** » Mon Jun 4, 2012 1:43 am

OMFG Wade are you kidding me? Boooooooooooooo.

Rondo's passing is almost unbelievable right now.

Post #2696 » by **jr lucosa** » Mon Jun 4, 2012 1:44 am

Yes Rondo is outstanding.

He's been like this pretty much every first half the last two series. I would be shocked if he's not below 30% on FGs.

paul · Post #2698 » by **paul** » Mon Jun 4, 2012 1:47 am

LOL Rondo is amazing, but holy sh*t is he stupid? How many times is he going to do stupid stuff like that?

I mean, he just makes god awful decisions every single time down the floor, it's actually been painful for me to watch and I hate them. Almost impossible to believe that a guy with his reputation can play this bad - and yet it goes pretty much without mention. I'm sure he'll end up with 20 points and no one will mention that he cost his team the game.

Yeah it's been unbelievable, and like you said it's not just the shooting. On some of the turnovers/defensive rotations he looks like Joe Alexander. Regardless of whatever injuries he's dealing with, he looks mentally checked out the majority of the time. Really strange.
