Miami vs San Antonio Game 1 tonight.

[Donkey Hoatie]

Why is Bosh taking that last possesion three pointer instead of LeBron taking care of business?

You think Jordan would've let that crap happen?

LeBron is some physical specimen, but he lacks Jordan's killer instinct.

There lies the difference between Jordan and LeBron.

Agree and disagree with this sentiment. The Bulls won finals games with Jordan passing off to both John Paxson and Steve Kerr for game-winning/series clinching shots. People remember his game winners over guys like Craig Ehlo (not the finals, but it was his first playoff game winner in that fashion) and Bryon Russell, but he also made the right pass when the situation dictated it.

Remember it's only "letting crap happen" if it doesn't work. Granted, Bosh isn't the guy I want taking that shot in the game, especially with a guy like Ray Allen on the floor. But, in the future, if Bosh is open and it's in one of the spots on the floor where he feels comfortable, I think it's a decent play.

If this is to be Wade's last season because of injuries, I would like to see him go out on top,I'm more a fan of him than the team itself. Us here in Ohio hold grudges!

On thing I'm learning about the Heat. Sometimes they like getting behind so they can find renewed purpose to come back and annihilate teams. I lost count of how many times the Pacers looked like they had the upper hand, only to get ravaged in the final game of the season. And that's not to take away what the Spurs did last night. They did what they had to win in the clutch. Great game. But will the Heat answer back for it? History seems to suggest that is all but bankable. Great playoffs. Very entertaining.

i wish the games were on a bit earlier on the east coast. I had to go to bed and missed the end of the game last night.

Paxson and Kerr were pure shooters...Bosh is not.

Also, the Bulls guards were hot in those games, Jordan knew this. Bosh has just been subpar, playing that way doesn't make you deserve to shoot the ball at crunch time...LeBron knew this, I don't know why he didn't just drive up the ball to the basket himself instead of passing it to Bosh, bad decision making, LeBron has a history of doing this.

This article says it all about Bosh's attempted three pointer:

meh it's only one game, i'm not worried yet..and I'm just happy to have made it that far.. there are teams out there who haven't even seen the conference title games in how long?

If they win they win, if they lose oh well..it was still a bad *** season

[Hector]

Oh no, not another "meh", lol.

[Zemo]

I did think they would split in Miami, but I thought we would get the first one. Now the Heat is on, so to speak. lol

[Hector]

Still anybody's game, I think both teams are evenly matched.

[EmergencyIan]

Though, I'm not a Heat fan, they have shown that they can turn on the afterburners when they're on the ropes. However, they may push their luck one too many times.

A lot of chatter on the net about LeBron this and that, he a friggin triple double. lol

[Hector]

Oh, we all know he's a great player, but his criticism last game was warranted, he should've aggressively drove up to the basket and scored instead of passing it out to Bosh for the three point attempt, that has been the bulk of his discussion, and that's why they lost game one, it could've easily been a Heat win.

[Hector]

Rumors are that the Rockets could land both Dwight Howard and Chris Paul, combine those two with the current Rocket lineup that includes James Harden and fast rising star Chandler Parsons...as well as solid veteran Carlos Delfino, and of course Jeremy Lin (who will thrive better coming off the bench once Paul arrives)...you are looking at a very scary team indeed.

Now if they could only get the young and talented, but yet troubled headcase, Royce White to play, they'be be even scarier.

[Zemo]

Dwight Howard is the Plague!!!

[Hector]

lol...

I personally think Howard is overrated myself, but he couuld be a huge factor with the right team.
