if that injury happened to Wade he'd have been airlifted out of the arena and rushed to the hospital.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa relax its not like he shattered his arm into a million pieces. That injury wasn't serious enough for him to not get back on the court. I have no sympathy for him or Lebron or Wade just because of playing with an "injury"SamuraiX- said:

... looks to me like Rondo was elbowing Wade, and Wade knocked him down after he slipped.

Some of you guys have to take off those blind hate tinted glasses.

yeah sorry, not in the head, but he definitely elbowed him.. you can see him quickly bring that elbow down around 1:18.
actually, at around 1:15 you see him push Wade with an elbow to the neck, he then later elbows him hard in the shoulder at 1:18

Oh you're right, Wade was minding his own business, when Rondo knocks the ball out of Wades hand and then it just so happened he was backing into Rondo and Rondo viciously beat him across the head and with a sudden turn of event's, Wade fell backwards with his whole weight on the PG and Rondo just happens to fall on his arm as he was trying to break his fall....
Sound about right?
SMFH....

Wade did a judo takedown, subtle thuggery is the most offensive.

So rondo dislocates his elbow and plays with it, lebron has a stiff elbow and he quits on his team. The media would make this the greatest game ever if lebron actually did what rondo did. Hopefully rondo is all good because I want the cs totally healthy when they play my bulls.

Rondo has played like shit all series. All he has really done is pass, and most PG's in the NBA could do that. He hasn't even been that great of a defender against the heat. Chalmers dropped 17 points last night.
Then the fact someone above you said they would trade Pau Gasol for a one-armed Rondo.
Laker fans are worse then Miami fans.

After playing neck and neck with KG the first two games, (actually a bit better), Bosh was a fucking embarrassment tonight.
Bosh has turned into a gigantic "word I can't use on Neogaf", since leaving Toronto. It's pathetic.

Yeah, there have been "someones" but I'm on my grind trying to move forward in my career.
I have been very methodical regarding that and it's no mistake I don't have kids at this point in my life, if ever.
Thanks for the compliment.
In other news, Thor was very good--my date chose it and it was a very solid comic book movie.
Hopefully comic book movies continue this trend of having great story and casting.

Bosh was soft in Toronto, but not as soft as he is now. He was borderline soft. He would drive to the basket all the time, dunk on people, and even play center when he had to.
During Bosh's last two season with Toronto was among league leaders in FTA's, rebounds, double doubles, 20-10 games etc.. He was one of only three players to average 20-10 in any category (Z-bo would have been did not play enough games)
The notion Bosh has not played Boston well is incorrect. in 2009-2010 with the Raptors, Bosh averaged 25.3 PPG, 11.3 RPG had a 66 FG% and averaged slightly over 1 SPG against Boston
The notion that Bosh has always struggled against Boston is wrong. It is a fact he has not.
That said, every year Bosh has been in the league he has gotten a bit more soft. Since going to Miami he has turned into a complete bitch. He even lost some of the muscle he put on with Toronto (he stated a reason, I can't remember what it was). It's embarrassing to watch him play now sometimes.
It is a shame this is what a majority of fans see of him. This is simply not how he played for the Raptors.

I think Bosh just isn't strong enough mentally to hold his own alongside two alpha dogs. He basically allowed himself to become a glorified role-player. He was never just a pure midrange jump shooter but that's what he became on the Heat, especially in the first half the season.
He may have partly brought this on himself because I think he did say early on he looked forward to doing less work being teamed up with Wade and Lebron.
Also let's be honest, how many plays do they call for Bosh these days? 1/6 is a poor shooting night but it also means he didn't get very many opportunities. He wouldn't be 1/6 on the Raptors. Today the Heat in the second half ran a bunch of ISOs or when they gave it to Bosh, it was from 15 feet out, not in scoring position.
Bosh ate KG's shit on defense, which might explain why he was passive on offense. But the Heat in general don't know how to run an offense with post-players.

The Heat are not running plays Bosh is used to, thats for sure. But it's not just that. He has mentally checked out. He is not the same player he wsd

Here is a video of him in 2009-2010. He did things in that video he has literally not done once all season. If THAT player showed up to Miami, they would be monsters. He hasn't. It is pathetic.
Did I say earlier that Kobe is now 2004 Shaq?
I was wrong. He's 2006 Shaq. He can put up somethıng that almost resembles his old numbers about half the time, or maybe slightly less. About 25% of the time he'll be just okay, and the other 25% of the time he'll be mostly ineffective. He can't win a title as the best player on a team at this point, and unfortunately, there's no Wade equivalent on the Lakers this year.
I wish I was wrong, but 17 points in an absolute must-win is pretty damning. His days as the Mamba are over.
This realization was probably the saddest one I've had aside from the time I realized there's probably no afterlife.

I will watch the Lakers funeral today with a heavy heart, but excited for Magic's suggestion of "blowing the team up".

It wasn't like Kobe got the 17 points off of 7 for 25 shooting or something. He was very efficient and it seemed like he made a purpose to allow everyone else to have oxygen so they could get going. Pretty much worked too except that Pau was the only Laker who didn't bring his nutsack and team-wide they had poor execution in the final minutes. I wouldn't call the last game an indictment on Kobe getting old. It was an indictment on Pau for constantly disappearing in important playoff games and an indictment on Laker culture for not having the proper championship focus.
The upside to the Lakers getting eliminated in the second round is that Kobe can finally take most of May and June off. Since '08, no other marquee player has played so many games practically year-round. The extra rest will do him good.
Kobe, IMO, still has about two more years playing at a very high level. It's just his minutes will need to be reduced and he'll need to be paired up with a strong all-star teammate. I'd say Kobe is still 2004 Shaq. Kobe played great last game and still went into Mamba mode for a brief while early in the 4th. It's just KoMe appeared and he took some ill-advised shots, but he's been doing that for years.
Heck, in the first round this playoffs he was dunking on fools, which he hasn't done in a while. So he still has quite a bit in the tank. Remember even '06/'07 Kobe couldn't get out of the first round, so when Pau is doing his best Kwame impression the Lakers aren't going to go deep in the playoffs. Kobe has always needed a strong #2. Pau isn't that right now. Why do you think Phil was trying to break his chest cavity?
The Kobe/Pau era might be over, but Kobe isn't done yet. If he got paired up with Dwight, he'd be right back up there contending even two years from now. Kobe's numbers are still just too strong to say he's going to fall off a cliff next year. Once he starts averaging under 20 ppg and 25 mpg, then you can start to worry.
Gonna miss the Mavs game today because I have to work. This sucks.elrechazado

Wasnt aroud a PC last night. but I have to say a few things about last nights game.
#1 like ESPN and the announcers said adnauseum, WTF was Bosh.. FFS the guy was invisible in this game.. Props to the Warden for showing up.
#2 After the injury to Rondo I feel the heat left off the gas on defense, and once he came back to the game they went too freaking easy on him. Sure he was injured but they gave him too much space, the guy had 1 freaking arm pressure him and don't let him make plays that really inspired and carried the Celtics for the rest of the game.
I don't think that Garnett will have another monster game on Monday, and i don't think Pierce will be making 3s all over the place again however this next game I think will be the series. If the celtics win they will really put the pressure on the heat and Im not so sure they can handle it.
FFS Pressure rondo, specially if he is hurting. You think if Wade, or Bron got injured and came back the celts wouldn't pressure?!?! shesh.
