Bron is fighting against the curve. Tops in scoring and rebounding, and second in assists to (the best PG in the league) and he's been all but destroyed for his play. The expectations for him are bizarre. PEACE.

Big 3 plays like this and they are active on d they win all their games. Problem is that they don't have this much effort game to game which is concerning. Bosh should give this same effort on offense and defense but Wade I doubt can do it again.

And like I've said over and over it doesn't matter if Bosh and Wade miss these shots they still have to keep taking the shots and remain aggressive.

Wade, when playing like this, is such a pleasure to watch. His game is beautiful.

Game 6 and 7 on the road is not the same thing as game 1.

Game 7 on the road is a very very rare victory. When was the last time it happened in the NBA finals? the 60s?

69 was the only time it's ever happened. And that was with Wilt losing against Russell which was generally bound to happen no matter what.

That was the game he got benched, right?

Yes. Last game of Russell's career as well and the "those fucking balloons are staying up there" game.

In anticipation of a Lakers win, Lakers owner Jack Kent Cooke had ordered thousands of balloons with "World Champion Lakers" printed on them suspended from the rafters of the Forum. Flyers were placed in every seat stating, "When, not if, the Lakers win the title, balloons will be released from the raftors, the USC marching band will play "Happy Days Are Here Again" and broadcaster Chick Hearn will interview Elgin Baylor, Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain in that order."[1] Before the game, the Celtics circulated in their locker room a memo about the Lakers' celebration plans.[2] Russell noted the giant net hanging from the ceiling during pregame warmups and said to West, "Those [expletive deleted] balloons are staying up there."[1] West was furious at the balloons for providing the Celtics extra motivation.[2] With only two true guards on the Laker roster and West still feeling the effects of the hamstring pull, Celtics coach Russell ordered his men to fast break at every opportunity.

Might be one of the worst losses in NBA history when you also take into consideration that the 69 Lakers were a super team with three of the greatest players ever up to that point.

Really strange how the stars have been limited so much. Is it just great coaching from both sides?

I think so. Two smart coaches and two great teams. I do think there's some flukish shit going on though. For how good both teams are, only one game has been close. That's just weird. PEACE.

Fantastic game by the Heat, no other way to look at it. If their Big 3 play this well, coupled with excellent team defense, it's pretty much impossible. Both teams are great at doing adjustments, so let's hope Pop can conjure some magic for Game 5.

Uh-oh, LeBron wore his camouflage vest to the game. Soldier Mode. That must've been why Spurs had no chance.

Oh man, watching Tiago play is too funny. Him and Cory Joseph to be honest. Although Joseph is more of a walking bad highlight reel than Splitter.

Wade: "Before the big 3 formed I passed the ball when I wanted, where as now I am passing because I feel like I am forced to."

had his first game over 20 today..

People expect LBJ to be at 20+ in 5 outta 7 games.. not really bizarre in the slightest.

The way Miami has played all year has been around that.

I was here in spirit heat-age!! Almost had an international incident when this one ital motherfucker tried to change the channel to soccer but I made it.

Wade really is a big game player, fuck the haters. If James really has woke up, then that's all she wrote. Spurs must win next game.

Spurs definitely must win next game or it's heat in 6.

which im actually looking forward to.

i do agree with magic... win or lose... the heat's big 3 time is over.... that CBA screwed the superteam idea from ever coming into fruition unless someone is willing to take a paycut
