Is there a more undeserving player in this league than Chris Bosh?
If I told you the bloke was an 8 time all star and 2 time NBA champion and you actually watched the dude play you'd think I was bullshitting ya

Bosh was rubbish.. Manu was going ok today but made some big blunders in the end.. Feel terrible for the Spurs.. they are a great basketball team.. .

I cannot stand when James stands around in the 4th and does nothing. but Last two games he was outstanding in the 4th. Credit given. He was outstanding today Lebron 37pts 12rbd 4ast 2stl

Outstanding series.. I think the Heat deserved it.. if you can win the NBA championship in whatever means, if at the end of the series you hold the trophy in whatever manner.. I think you are deserving.

Pretty much sums up why every heat victory in the finals is so controversial, he did nothing all series really.

What a great series, Lebron came up huge and brought his team the victory. The spurs have absolutely blown another championship, it's just unbelievable how close they were to it. Even in this game, Duncan misses a shot his hit a million times to tie it up at 90-90 and then the tip shot too, just unbelievable stuff.

Ugh that hurt. I think I nearly cried when Duncan missed that hook shot, over Battier, that would have made it 90-90 late in the 4th. Manu had a decent shooting game but f**k me those turnovers were killers. Parker again struggled. Love Leonard's game, he's such a good rebounder for his size. Plus I love that little tip shot that he does from close.

Fair play to Lebron and Wade, both guys turned up big in Game 7. Battier also with his 3 point shooting. I know Bosh will cop some flak, but I think he did an admirable job of defending Duncan today.

I know this series was won in Game 7 but Game 6 is going to stay with me for a while. You can't get any closer to winning a championship (without actually winning it) than what the Spurs did in that game.

Manu Ginobili awful play has surely cost the Spurs the championship in this series?!
Absolutely putrid stuff from him, particularly in games 5-6-7... y'know, the ones that count.

Bit harsh to take the only good game he's had, this series, away from him :lol:

But yeah, I love me some Manu but he had some shocking turnovers in Game 6 & 7.

Amazing game, amazing series. Spurs will rue not winning game 6 and they had their chances in game 7 ( TD missing a gimmie at the basket to tie it up :( ) but Lebron showed us why he is the best player in the game. He was phenomenal today.

Yep.. When Duncan missed that shot it was heartbreaking.. I felt bad for him.. But then I thought.. They'll be fine.. They can all go back to their mansions and millions of dollars for some solace. Lol..

Some great moments in this series:

Green on fire from 3 point land.. but then ice cold in the last 2 games.
Tim Duncan's 30 point game and 17? boards.
Manu's game 5.. wind back the clock.
Lebron's headbandless run.
Tim Duncans game 7 steal and coast to coast effort then dunk. How awesome was that from Timmy.
Lebrons game 7 the whole lot really. He was outstanding.
Lebrons block on Tim then scores up the other end.
Lebrons block on splitter.
Parkers game 1 shot.
Ray Allen's shot in game 6.

Worthy note > 21yo 2nd year player Leonards defensive efforts on James

I think the criticism of Bosh is harsh. Sure he was pretty bad in game 7 but without him coming up big in game 6 there is no game 7.

Bosh needs to get in and rebound. James was doing it all.. 45 minutes for James. Ridiculous.

See Wade unhappy with Bosh when bosh fouled with his knee..
Pretty funny..

James basically has done it all for the heat, if he doesn't play well then they don't win the championship, which is ironic because its one of the big reasons he left Cleveland.
Very good series though and well deserved by the Heat.

After a couple of days of being upset, I'm at the acceptance stage with the Heat.

You guys think they'll keep the same core for next year? Personally would like to see Bosh play somewhere else. Alot of his talents are wasted on this team. Plus with the new luxury tax measures coming in soon, the Heat do have an incentive to shed some salary.

Eh, I've accepted it, even come to enjoy it a little bit. Life's too short to hate on a player for something he did 3 years ago, especially one who's never hit a woman, destroyed property while drunk etc.

Not sure on Bosh, he does a lot more on the defensive end than he gets credit for. I reckon they'll stick with the same core, but if anything happens to Wade then 2014-15 will be very interesting.

I think they'll keep the core for next year, rumors about Greg Oden joining the Heat which IF he can stay somewhat healthy, he helps cover their biggest weakness.

Now the focus will move on to the draft and trades which is always an exciting period!!
