Stern mad

 

[Tekniqs]

Kobe going at Bronbron

 

[exarkun]

Kobe being greedy turns into a turnover

Surprise!

 

[rando14]

[Conflict NZ]

Who broke Nash's floater? Haven't seen him hit one in ages.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

wtf shard

 

[Cloudy]

OMG Dwight is fucking lazy

 

[linsivvi]

Moral victory #3?

James sits! #4!

All we need is him being called a travel in the 2nd half.

 

[The Frankman]

OMG Dwight is fucking lazy

Not sure Dwight can go down.

 

[friskykillface]

Battier really saves the Heat

dat title is his

 

[Nosferatubeast]

Battier getting hot at good time.

 

[The Frankman]

Artest had that crazy look in his eyes... uh-oh.

 

[teruterubozu]

Battier is a career Laker nemesis.

 

[Cloudy]

Lakers need a competent SF to replace Metta. This guy is killing us on both ends

 

[Future PhaZe]

Would the Heat have ever chipped without Battier?

Fucking Grizz for not keeping that dude prior to signing Gay long term...dammit.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Bron is gonna go insane in the second half after all these people touching him.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Lots of turnovers today. That's probably the difference in the score right now. PEACE.

 

[Nori Chan]

Wait kobe got fouled? Lol wat


ball dont lie

 

[Vic]

Miami can't blow out the Lakers?

I don't even

 

[Vire]

Bullshit refs.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Rio playing well as of late.

 

[Pimpwerx]

OMG Dwight is fucking lazy

Something something back surgery. PEACE.

 

[teruterubozu]

That was a terrible screen by Howard. WTF is that?

 

[The Frankman]

Bad Luck for the Lakers.

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Tie game. It can only get worse from here.

 

[Nori Chan]

Tied at halftime?

Moral Victory #5

 

[Nosferatubeast]

LeBron checking his breath was funny.

 

[friskykillface]

Fucking Grizz for not keeping that dude prior to signing Gay long term...dammit.

no. its funny he was a nonfactor in the ECF and east semis, just small points and nothing much

Battier hit a 3 every time the Thunder were close to tie or taking a lead in every finals game after game 1.

Ibaka left him alone though so the Thunder were dumb not to guard him.

 

[linsivvi]

LeBron will go berserk in the 3rd quarter.

 

[Cloudy]

Disappointing that we can't get a lead w/o Bron. Too many wide open 3s and offensive rebounds allowed

 

[Pimpwerx]

We need to play with more intensity on defense in the second half. Rotate quicker and closeout harder. Other than that, we gotta control the turnovers. PEACE.

Turnovers are the only reason we aren't leading by 10. We should increase the pace, lakers can't run.

 

[Vire]

Turnovers are the only reason we aren't leading by 10. We should increase the pace, lakers can't run.

And the Refs... 12 FT for Lakers and 6 for Heat. Some really questionable calls.

We are shooting 59% and they are in the 40's and we are out rebounding them by 9.

 

[Jack Remington]

The Heat will be up by 10 by the eight minute mark of the 3rd. They'll open a 20 point lead early in the 4th. LeBron will finish with 30+ points.

Honestly, the Lakers should be up by like 11 going into the 2nd half. Mental mistakes are the reason they aren't, and those mental mistakes are going to be the difference in this game, because they really needed a first half lead to have any chance of surviving the onslaught that King James will unleash in the second half.

Edit: Heat fans are saying that it's the LAKERS who are lucky not to be down 10?

I swear, these guys get one fucking title, and it goes to their heads.

Seriously, Battier was a much better pickup last year than Allen was this year. Battier is an excellent spot-up shooter.

 

[Truelize]

Does MWP even know their defense? That last play it is extremely obvious that Dwight turns to MWP, gets his attention and then points to the spot he is supposed to go to. Dwight then drops into the key to protect the drive and MWP makes no adjustment at all.

He made at least three major rotation errors in the second quarter that were horrible.
Is he a coke head? He is moving around like one. And not one that is buzzin, more just out there.

 

[theignoramus]

Magic doesnt even watch his own team. "get dwight the ball in the low post and good things happen"...yo Ervin, he leads the league in post up attempts, aint that great at them and turns the fucking ball over on 20% of his touches down there

 

[Red Blaster]

lawl Mike Wilbon's reasoning for keeping Rudy Gay is hilarious

"Derrick Rose missing a ton of shots means he really wants to win"

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Sit your ass down Jalen Rose.

 

[exarkun]

I HATE listening to Magic talk about the Lakers.

HATE IT. The ABC crew is trying desperately to copy Inside the NBA's format. But it doesn't work. Because Wilbon, Simmons and Magic are too stiff and semi-condescending (the first two).

 

[Emwitus]

Honestly against the heat we should at least try to go through Dwight more....we obviously have an advantage only at that position. I freaking miss pau.

 

[DominoKid]

Don't they test for that shit during the year?

i read some story that said NBA players only get drug tested 4 times in a season and after that they're good to do whatever the hell they want to until the next season.

it was about PEDs but i'm assuming they're good for weed once the tests are done.

I think it doesn't work because you have 3 homers for non-contending teams, paired with Jalen who's an acquired taste. It just doesn't work. The TNT crew is impartial to teams playing. Shaq is probably the most-biased, and that's just against Dwight. PEACE.

 

[Dominican Power]

Dwight has a high basketball IQ but doesn't know how to stop getting stripped.
