Bulls are sure fucking this up.

 

[Onemic]

wade, professional flop artist

 

[thekad]

Lebron

DO SOMETHING

Really?

Dwyane Wade, the second best wing in the game, is being guarded by CJ Watson.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

You could write a book about how badly Tim Duncan destroyed the Memphis Grizzlies tonight.

Its a damn shame he wasn't an all-star this year. Hes still (way) better than Marc. But his numbers were low at the all-star break so I guess you can't complain; the lockout reduced the amount of data voters had to make a decision.

 

[Red Blaster]

LeBron truly is the ultimate front runner

 

[AlphaSnake]

That was not a foul....

 

[ph33nix]

Asik is dominating this OT

Itwasmeanttobe19 calling him the 2nd best rookie last year redeemed

 

[Emwitus]

Kobe is looking at this game and laughing his Bum off.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Bulls are sure fucking this up.

lol?

*waits for Thibs to try to throw the game with Boozer and Rose*

 

[DY_nasty]

How is that a foul on Korver? That's a no call clear as day

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Isn't anyone gonna help that poor man?

 

[victreeb3l]

asik is awesome tonight

 

[Black Mamba]

Lebron

DO SOMETHING

it's so fucking hilarious. As he was bringing the ball up, he was already trying to find someone to pass it off to. He does not want to create plays. Waits for someone else to do something to pass it off. Not like Rondo, like someone who wants to do nothing.

His body language is soooooo different at the end of a game than the rest of it. It's staggering.

How can anyone deny this? It's not about not being clutch, it's something entirely different.

 

[Vire]

Welp, that's about it. So long first seed.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

See, why does Wade get that damn call? F'ing A, He should play for us!

 

[NomarTyme]

There ya go! simple passes!

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

Wow. Taj is pretty good.

 

[Knux-Future]

Derrick Rose = LVP?

 

[Seda]

Taj, CJ, and Asik playin ball

 

[Tom Penny]

Already almost double as many points as the C'z Hawks thrilling 4-2 OT game last night.

 

[ph33nix]

So is Ronny Turiaf our closing big?

WTF happened to Udonis

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Kobe is looking at this game and laughing his Bum off.

Yep.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

E tu, Bulls?

Derrick Rose = LVP?

that will always be Boozer on this team. He's a certified late-game benchwarmer.

 

[DJ88]

Why is this team so hard to watch at times. It was not supposed to be like this.

EDIT: Holy fucking crap.

Makes your stomach turn doesn't it?

 

[Emwitus]

Lebron has to try and take over this game....................right, RIGHT??

 

[LuchaShaq]

It's impossible to talk to someone intelligently who actually doesn't believe that psychological factors, confidence, etc. have anything to do with taking high pressure shots and making those shots, and then not allowing your self confidence to be shaken once you're criticized or you miss.



The fact that people dispute this simple yet universally accepted notion is just mind-boggling.


But by all means keep believing that players are robots with no emotions that execute simply based on statistical models

Psychological factors matter but that doesn't mean a guy shooting 45% in clutch time is worse than a guy shooting 34% just because he doesn't do the beaver Kobe face and take bad shots to stroke his own ego when it hurts his own team.

 

[Levyne]

Wow. Taj is pretty good.

He's the greatest

 

[DY_nasty]

TAJ DA GOD

Stomach illness they said. He wasn't well enough to return in the second half.

 

[Bay Maximus]

Gibson tired of playing with these South Beach bums.

Can't wait for the Eastern Finals, gonna do Celtics the same way.

 

[ari]

the bulls bench is infinity batter then their starters. So fucking crazy.

Taj Boozer.

He can't wait to get rid of it. "Someone get this shit going" its like you can see it on his jersey

why the fuck are you passing to Shane, LBJ!?!?!!!!

 

[Knux-Future]

There is a really bad and forced LeBron is unclutch joke in here somewhere.

 

[PBY]

You're seeing what you want to see.

THANK YOU

Perception v. reality. If you read through the last few pages, what happens is that any action of Lebron is viewed immediately with the presumption towards the narrative that has been built up around him.

 

[Vahagn]

Right, but Lebron's percentages in those high pressure situations is roughly equal to his peers.

He obviously shies away when he shouldn't, but in terms of actual performance, it's fine. I don't have a problem with Wade closing games.

A) What's happened to him since the decision can't be overstated. He's like 1-18 in last second shots to win or tie a game, he faded in every fourth quarter of the finals, and he basically has no assertive ability at all in so many games.


He's been more passive, in more late game clutch situations in the last two seasons, then kobe/jordan have been in 16 years. If the dude took the responsibility on himself he should have, instead of giving it up to bosh 3's and chalmers and eddie house and haslem and everyone else, he'd be like 3-35 by now

THANK YOU

I love how this doesn't equally apply to you? LEbron shot 4 shots in the last 10 minutes. The plays he wasn't shooting shots, he was standing around. He's made 0 strong defining defensive plays.


No my friend, YOU'RE seeing what you wanna see

 

[Onemic]

bulls taking this

WATSON TOO CLUTCH

 

[ph33nix]

Stomach illness they said. He wasn't well enough to return in the second half.

Juwan Howard would be doing better right now

That slingshot of his

 

[Luixfern]

Miami choking.... yeeeess YYYYEEEESSSS

 

[Red Blaster]

The Bulls clearly paid the wrong players

 

[MiamiWesker]

Just put circus music when we have the ball.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

You're seeing what you want to see.

Nope. It's seemed LeBron just wants to distribute right now...but they need him to take it to the cup.

Now, even when he has a lane to drive through, he's passing it off like in that last possession that Bosh missed.

 

[Emwitus]

Lebron will never win a championship.................N E V E R, NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Derrick Rose has been unstoppable in OT

 

[thekad]

Thibs is amazing.

 

[Iron E Man]

God damn CJ

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Watson is a MAN.

 

[Seda]

Taj, CJ, Asik playin ball.

 

[AlphaSnake]

That's the dagger.

Watson shitted on Miami.
