Post Up: Coming Through

Allen going in…

And, Wade’s ball handling has always been overrated.

Eboy going back in…

i mean ‘s

Philo…I’m not mad at Allen, I just want to clarify his stance as the Heat inch closer to the Finals so that when he flip flops and start’s rooting for Dirk, I’ll know where it’s coming from.:)

@balladjlfj: Thats not really fair to say just look at the free throws they take therefore the refs are biased. That happens because Lebron’s offense is run and jump at the rim w/o thinking and many times a foul call results.

I got you airs lol

Let me get a crack at it, Eboy;
Allenp is down with The King.
Period.
If he isn’t, then he should be. lol

Dallas will beat whoever stumbles through this awful series, more all-around weapons, better D – Miami are showing signs of what they can become but not this year. I’d bet the house on it.

What exactly and I supposed to do, parade in the street because the Heat are playing like they should have been playing all year?
What twist in the wind opinions? I said on here that I thought the Heat would win in six, but I wasn’t certain because I liked the Bulls advantage on the glass and their elite defense.
I also questioned whether Wade and Bron would be focused the entire series against a team they could easily see as inferior.
After Game 1, I said the Heat needed to dominate their individual matchups, and while the rebounding edge was an issue, they got subpar games from Bron and Wade which I didn’t expect to happen again.
After Game Three I said that the Heat looked good but the series was only 2-1. Which was true. The Bulls had several opportunities to win the game last night, and were two Derrick Rose jumpers away from winning. I mean, if he hits those shots, particularly the first one going left that rimmed out, this is an entirely different conversation, right?
And wouldn’t the blame for the loss have to go to Wade who failed to show up for most of the night and hurt the team with stupid turnovers and sloppy play?
I don’t root for a team like you do. I root for good basketball. I actually was sad Chicago lost because of how hard they fought last night and because their loss means this series could be over in five instead of being stretched out. I watch the games for the ball, that’s it.

hahahah “the worst group of people ON EARTH.”
a bit much, but i love the commitment haha

STat is not better than Bosh. He had a better first 30 games. Nobody who watched ball before this year thought STAT was better.
As for rooting for Dirk, I’m torn.
I would like the see the big fella vanquish his demons. I would also like to see Miami prove much of the basketball viewing public wrong and get a ring in their first year. There are pros and cons to each outcome.
If Dirk wins, it’s a given that he leapfrogs Iverson in the “best career” discussion, which of course makes me sad. Plus, the Larry Bird comparisons will only come back, which I’ve always hated. However, dude has worked HARD. He’s improved, and gotten mentally stronger every year. I respect the hell out of him for that, and I love how he created his own template.
With Miami, it would be good to see all the people who said that the construction of their team was a basketball atrocity be proven wrong. It would be good to put to rest the debate about whether Bron can win a ring, and whether Bosh can play. However, it could lead to them regressing as far as effort and commitment next year forcing me to deal with another season of watching the two best players in the world fail to live up their immense potential at both ends of the floor.
Either way there are advantages and disadvantages.

Allenp please tell me what Bosh does so much better than STAT. STAT goes to the basket better, they are a wash defensively, and Bosh just decided to show up this series, are your really saying with a straight face that Bosh is better than STAT?

holy sh#t they don’t show up lol Chi>Indiani is what you meant. Dallas>OKC and LA. Ugh this was not worth it.

AllenP is on point. I’ve seen this all year, Wade has a tendency to force the issue when things aren’t going his way. For a 6-4 SG, the guy has terrible handles, he seems to always lose the ball on the break or when slashing off a curl. I remember the DWade in the 08 olympics and 08 season that dominated every defender checking him and he had a case that season to be the best in the L but these playoffs have been different especially in the CF. I know Bogans is a good defender but there’s no reason Wade should be struggling so badly against him and looking gassed when Bron is going 45+ mins strong vs one of the best perimeter defenders in the L while checking Rose down the stretch.
Wade needs to get his shooting touch back because they are going to need his scoring if they make it to the finals.

btw, was that a dig at rose when bron referred to him as the mvp in his post game interview with sager?

I cosign Allenp on the Bosh better than STAT argument. It’s not by a wide margin but he is and he didn’t just decide to show up this series he’s been pretty damn good.

Heat in 5.

Hi, Cheryl.

whoops my bad Taylor, I meant that at T-Money. You just got in that conversation about Miller defensively, saying James Jones is a slightly better shooter, I mistook what you said as implying that you thought Jones should get minutes over Miller. (from TPU 2 days ago).

nbk: guilty. not going to front, i had lost confidence in mike miller.

I have to agree with T-Money on one thing; Bron’s stamina is mind-boggling. The guy doesn’t seen to get tired and never seems to gassed or huffing and puffing no matter how many mins he plays. To be able to attack the rim consistently like he does, score 35 points, be a factor on the boards and play lockdown D on the fastest/quickest player in the L points to him being a well conditioned athlete.
That’s one thing people fail to mention about MJ; he’s supreme stamina. The guy was able to play the hardest out of anybody on both ends of the floor and yet still looked he hadn’t broken a sweat after the game. I remember that play vs the knicks when the MJ stole the inbound pass and was dribbling up court then had it stolen by the X man then MJ sprinted back and knocked it out of his hands. I mean that takes immense amounts of energy just to be able to complete that 10 second sequence and MJ did that his entire career.

Bulls weren’t even suppose 2 have made it this far. Heat doin what they were suppose 2 have been doin since jump street. Its beginning 2 look like a Mavs/Heat Finals. Again. Sigh. Talk bout a dull Finals. Ugh!

this is not jab or anything cause your going @ my boi dwade. but are we so far removed from that lost & post confrence when Bron, Bron question Spo sub patterns saying 48 min was to long??

Playoffs >>>> Regular Season
