2014 Playoffs

[Mr Saab]

Lebron 28 points on 10-15 and down by 24 points....wow

That was just beautiful basketball, I don't know how the heat get blown out at home two games straight, just ridiculous!!!

 

[God-King Dean]

I think it's some kind of Miami tradition for half the crowd to leave with 4 minutes remaining.

 

[shiznit]

Unbelievable... Just unbelievable...

The confrence final against the Thunder was more competitive than this... And that really wasn't all THAT competitive TBH...

The Spurs are some sort of team...

In 2 straight series they have managed to handle KD, Westbrook & Miami's big 3.

If Ibaka didnt go down I think the series atleast goes 7 games, but this spurs teams is one of the GOAT NBA teams and Pop is probably the GOAT coach.

Bron about 2/5 in finals series lol #choosen1

Edit: Lebron has a legit chance at losing as many finals series as MJ won..

Lebron will be in Cleveland next season. He is the only good player in his prime on this Miami Heat team. Everyone else is old or slow or shit or a combination of the 3.

I genuinely think Joel Embiid will be more productive in his rookie year than Bosh is now. Kyrie shits on wade. And then there's second tier players like Tristan and Waiters who have more to offer than second tier Miami players.

Lebron is part of the blame, he has only played 2 good quarters in the last 2 games, after the firsts Q in game 3, he had 8points and 7 turnovers. Tonight in a game 4 at home where you expect them to bounce back, he has 9 at the half. Not good enough, he has also let Kawhi go off in him these last two games.

He isn't getting much support but he is part of the problem.

He hasn't been as good as he can be but there's only so much 1 person can do in a team game. MJ was never winning anything if Pippen played like Wade has lately.

 

[betcats]

How many fourth quarter points does Bron have in this series? And why does this so called elite defender keep get lit up?

The heat are lucky they play in the East they get an absolute cakewalk to the ECF every year. They would be second round fodder in the west.

No more excuses for him, he is the man and the best player and needs to do more. Jordan never failed in the finals, people can just end the comparisons. He should have come out all guns blazing today but no, he has 9 at the half and by the time he decided to turn up it was too late. Also, Kawhi has outplayed him two straight games, that can not happen to the best player in the world.

You are an idiot.

PS. He has as many rings leading his team as Kobe does.

 

[Mr Saab]

Miami have to be blown up after this. Forget about the "big 4" (with talk of Carmelo)...this team is washed up.
No team has been dominated like this since the Pistons schooled the Lakers of 2004.

 

[ByRd]

I'm not hating but if he gets all the praise he has to expect this. Yes, the Heat as a team have been terrible and the Spurs too good but he can't escape some of the blame. Two good quarters won't erase the rest of those average games.

Its ok...i have no love for LeBrick.
He aint no Jordan...even aint no Kobe. His team has been taken to school like how no superstar would accept.

I agree about his starts, he's too unselfish IMO. He seems intent on getting his teammates going before he does. You don't really see Lebron get selfish until after halftime, and they're already behind. Just once I'd like to see him come out all guns blazing and get his team out to a lead. In that regard I agree he deserves some criticism.

The thing is, these aren't scrubs he's playing with like he had in Cleveland. These are some of the best players in the league, they shouldn't need help getting going. Lebron should be able to do whatever he wants and still be able to rely on his teammates to step up when he needs help.

But really it comes down to defence and the inability of the Heat to contain the Spurs passing. They simply had no answer. It's all very well to say Wade etc. should be hitting more shots but there'll still conceding 80 points by 3 quarter time every game. It's too many. Even if you rely on surging home late through hot shooting like the Heat back themselves to do it becomes next to impossible to go on a run when scoring is so easy at the other end.

TBH more than 50% of the credit/blame game should be directed towards the Spurs anyway. They've played the perfect team game and deserve to win it all (if they do get it done). This is a helluva team we're watching right now.

Last year 38yo Ray Allen had to save his ass with a clutch shot, year before that a lockout season.

LBJs got 2 asterisk rings (and he had to leave his team and join Wades team to do it.)

Not 7 not 6 not 5 not 4 not 3 Just 2.
