ECF Game 4 Heat vs Bulls Sponsored by Rose's Chuckability

[TampaDude]

Ballgame, bitches!!!!!

[Spurologist]

The bad news is that one of Miami or Dallas will win the title.

The good news is that one of them will lose it.

:rollin

[100%duncan]

Lebron-Dirk finals will determine who's the best player in the nba today

[Pelicans78]

LOL Derrick Rose thinking he didn't need Lebron or Wade. Good riddance.

[Killakobe81]

Why do people keep saying the Bulls pulled an OKC? Were they up 15 with 5 minutes left or something?

Lack of late game execution. The defense kept them in it. Wasnt talking about the choked lead ...

[Red Hawk #21]

Bulls are DONE.

[ElNono]

Pat Riley ready to take over the coaching job... :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Thibs has to manage his rotations better. That's what this game came down to imo on the Chicago side of things.

[davethedope]

Wow just wow by Lebron ...great hustle by Lebron great block by Wade ...


Great finals coming up ...

Dirk vs. Lebron ...

Perfect, and then we'll just lock out next year. basketball gets good for
the first time in 20 yrs.

[100%duncan]

:lol korever making it when it doesn't count
:lol 2 points

[resistanze]

Pat Riley ready to take over the coaching job... :lol

Can a coach resign during the playoffs? I mean if you really want to spend time with your family...

[Killakobe81]

Lebron is quite easily the best player in the NBA.

All doubts by anyone left, will be erased with 5 more wins ...

[Red Hawk #21]

On to Game 5, Bulls can get it done at home bugt it's going to be a tough mountian to climb. Heat are best playing from ahead.

Come on brother, this series is over.

[DMC]

Pat Riley ready to take over the coaching job... :lol
Probably late in game 4 of the Finals when the Heat are up 3-0.

[Ace]

Different Miami team...

[NewJerSpur]

Korver's got to find his stroke between now and Thursday night because his defense ain't getting any better.

[davethedope]

What's up Taj? Still thinkin' 'bout them dunks?

[picc84]

Every single game i'm getting my dreams crushed this postseason. The karma from that Sasha 3 is such a patient little bitch.

[it's me]

LeBron is the CLOSER!!!!!

Rose had a wonderful chance to ridicule james after the stupid foul........but fucking rose is a big fucking looser........ this series is on him... miami has nothing.

[Spurologist]

Pat Riley ready to take over the coaching job... :lol

one more Heat win away from happening

[DPG21920]

No matter what happens, Lebron is the best player in the NBA and has been for a couple years now.

[ElNono]

lol Chuck checking what bars are open late

[Killakobe81]

Perfect, and then we'll just lock out next year. basketball gets good for
the first time in 20 yrs.
not
WTF? basketball has been great for most of my 30 seasons watching. Maybe the lockout year and a few boring Finals ...basketball has been great.

[NewJerSpur]

Come on brother, this series is over.

Not 'til it's OVER my friend. I go down with the ship......and hope it bottoms up, lol. :hat

[TampaDude]

Miller and James FTW

[Budkin]

Different Miami team...

Completely.

[Giuseppe]

Where's New & Tiny at?

tee, hee.

[100%duncan]

Not 'til it's OVER my friend. I go down with the ship......and hope it bottoms up, lol. :hat

dream finals both 3-1 :lmao

[Budkin]

haha WTF.

[picc84]

:lmao Bulls bumrushing to foul Lebronze

[TampaDude]

What kind of stupid shit was that, Noah??? :lol

[DPG21920]

Killakobe has been transparent about his Lebron angle since LA got bounced :lol

[ElNono]

tbh, I couldn't pick one of Miami-Mavs in the Finals... but it would be a great series to sit back and watch... It's either Mavs being beat by the whistle again, or taking revenge on the superstar Heat...

[NewJerSpur]

Still a chance Picc!! Remember that. :toast

[Budkin]

It's going to be a great Finals.

[ElNono]

Noah really wanting to scream faggot all around...

[Spurologist]

I guess Noah can't hate on Miami during post game....Miami doesn't have factories

[Killakobe81]

Killakobe has been transparent about his Lebron angle since LA got bounced :lol

WTF? are you talking about ...

I have been nothing but praising Lebron ...

[DPG21920]

I really hope neither the Mavs or Heat mess around and they get straight to the finals so we can see that beast of a series.

[NewJerSpur]

dream finals both 3-1 :lmao

Still a chance, like Phil Collins sang, "I'll keep holding on"......at least I think that was Phil Collins, lol. :toast

[davethedope]

not

Not imo. Last good finals was 2006, before that. I guess
the Lakers were kind of interesting, but so absurdly stacked, it wasn't.
Spurs were boring, played boring teams. East hasn't been good for 10 yrs.
Last years Finals was the beginning, and had Stern not given the trophy to
Lakers, I might think otherwise. And let's face it, the Jordan era, was no
mystery.

[TampaDude]

This series, like the WCF, is over.

Mavs and Heat for all the marbles. You know it's coming.

[Killakobe81]

Plus my mantra has not changed even BEFORE we lost.

[DPG21920]

WTF? are you talking about ...

I have been nothing but praising Lebron ...

:lol I see right through your "praise" and constant talking about Lebron. You words drip with hope that he comes up short and fails so you can point things out. Problem is, regardless of a title or not, he is the best player and has been for a while.

[dirk4mvp]

LeBron could possibly go from guarding Rose to Dirk in back to back series.

Oh my god based LeBron :(

[davethedope]

Lol @ Lebron calling D.Rose "MVP"

[dirk4mvp]

LeBron could possibly go from guarding Rose to Dirk in back to back series.

Oh my god based LeBron :(

[NewJerSpur]

Hopefully Asik is a go for Game 5.....got to roll the Dice and hope to pickup some momentum for a possible Game 6.

[picc84]

Still a chance Picc!! Remember that. :toast

These chokes are getting pretty soul-crushing. One night after another....for the love of god. Both of OKC and Chicago should be tied or up right now. But fuck it, it aint over til its over. :toast

Still, the only good thing about a Miami/Dallas finals is that SOMEONE is getting the most epic CROFL thread barrage ever. :lol

hating on the previous champions cause your team was nowhere to be found.

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about for one. And for two, in NY we have other teams that win championships, so the Knicks mighty drought isn't killing us.

Choking FT's, FREE THROWS!! Those are the hardest pills to swallow....if Rose makes the 1 he missed going down the stretch it's a different outcome, but thems the breaks. ON TO GAME 5!! :toast

[Jacob1983]

I hate the Heat. Seriously, am I the only human on this planet that hates that team? The whole team just screams "rigged" and "manufactured" in my opinion. I honestly hope that team implodes. And their fans are some of the biggest bandwagon fans in pro sports. Where were those assholes last year or the year before? And yes, you're damn right. I am fuckin bitter over 2006.

[DPG21920]

I don't get why people bash Rose or the Bulls. Not winning a title, but getting to the ECF is a big accomplishment and it's not like they are losing to some scrub team. Just because you don't win every game doesn't mean you aren't legit.

[dirk4mvp]

NewJerSpur post count ITT - 113

I think that's a playoff high :toast

[100%duncan]

:lol mad

[Cry Havoc]

LeBron James has ascended to a level of play that maybe only 5-7 other players in NBA history have been able to reach. Pretty shocking to see even if it was likely to happen at some point.

[Giuseppe]

- "When I see 3-1, it's over."

- Larry Bird

[NewJerSpur]

NewJerSpur post count ITT - 113

Glad someone was keeping count so all of my work didn't go for not :p:.

Also, got to set the bar high for the next torch carrier :lol.

:hat

[davethedope]

Sorry, 2000's are highly overrated.

[Killakobe81]

You can say that, and I dont disagree. but the torch is not passed until he rings ...

[Spurologist]

you talking about the hustle play at the end or his play in general

[Spurologist]

Hopefully Asik is a go for Game 5.....got to roll the Dice and hope to pickup some momentum for a possible Game 6.

that killed Thibodeau's rotation and he panicked. Noah was out there too long. He must not have had any confidence in Taj and definitely not Thomas

[Killakobe81]

:lol I see right through your "praise" and constant talking about Lebron. You words drip with hope that he comes up short and fails so you can point things out. Problem is, regardless of a title or not, he is the best player and has been for a while.

Why do I want him to fail?

Massive miss on your part ...

I actually want him to challenge MJ for GOAT.

Tired of people getting offended, when people broach the subject of Kareem, Magic or anyone else being in the debate with Mj.

Me saying he needs to ring just deals with my viewpoint that rings matter even in a teamsport, especially basketball where only 10 players are on the court.

[TampaDude]

Dirk vs LeBron will be EPIC!!!!!

[Killakobe81]

I don't get why people bash Rose or the Bulls. Not winning a title, but getting to the ECF is a big accomplishment and it's not like they are losing to some scrub team. Just because you don't win every game doesn't mean you aren't legit.

It is, you are correct. But IDK some people expect the teams with HCA and the MVP to actually win the series ...

[DPG21920]

Just because you have HC, doesn't mean you should win. It helps, but when you are playing a team like the Heat that are built like they are and took some time to gel, it's not like they are being "upset" IMO.

[picc84]

I hate the Heat. Seriously, am I the only human on this planet that hates that team? The whole team just screams "rigged" and "manufactured" in my opinion. I honestly hope that team implodes. And their fans are some of the biggest bandwagon fans in pro sports. Where were those assholes last year or the year before? And yes, you're damn right. I am fuckin bitter over 2006.

Where have you been for the past 9 months? Everyone hates Miami. I hope the Heat team bus gets hit by a meteor....as they give the Mavs a ride to AA arena.

Honestly have no clue who i'd root for if the apocalypse finals happens, but i'm leaning toward your team right now. Of course, that will probably change the instant I see Jason Terry's face tomorrow.

[100%duncan]

Sorry, 2000's are highly overrated.

sorry knick are overrated

sorry amare is overrated

We all know the Heat were the true favorites, but to not call out the bulls or Rose for their lack of execution is not fair either. just like last night Mavs and Dirk deserve praise for winning but it's not bashing (at least me) to point out the mistakes that were made ...


Lebron siezed the game just like I said. he stopped facilitating and held the fort down until Wade showed up in OT ...that is what great players do. Lebron did and Rose did not.

[Giuseppe]

No more gigglin' dog from Tiny.

The f'in' bitch.

[Killakobe81]

I do admit I am biased towards winners ...but once you win I give all the praise that any player is due. But you have to win.

I have said many times Lebron is the ONLY active player with a shot at catching MJ in both titles and "legend" ...Kobe has an outside shot at the former but ALMOST zero shot at the latter. I hope Lebron realizes his full potential ...because he was blessed by God with so many gifts and he has worked on his game, even though his post and jumper look a little "rough" at times.

I just hate that people, (and even himself) try to make him pippen or even Magic ... when he has a chance to be even better than both. And it hurts me to say he can be better than Magic, but it's true, he has the talent, he just needs to win.

[picc84]

Lebron wouldn't be winning shit without Mike Miller.

[DPG21920]

Kobe has zero shot. That's what I'm talking about. All of your Lebron "encouragements" are underhanded attempts to compare him to Kobe.

Kobe will never be as good as Jordan because he is not as good as Jordan. There is no chance at that legacy regardless of how many titles he gets.

He's a fringe top 10-15 player (and this is from someone who thinks he is top 10). MJ is not. That isn't changing.

[redzero]

The midget has a point. Kobe has been in the league for 15 years. We have seen his best, and it isn't as good as Jordan's.

[NewJerSpur]

Lebron wouldn't be winning shit without Mike Miller.

When you have the hook, the travel/crab dribble/crab shuffle and stiff arm that refs ignore on MOST occasions, that's all you need....:stirpot:

Dude had a crappy close to the 2nd quarter and took a terrible shot late but made some good defensive plays to help negate those and a couple of key baskets once Miami got going. Tip of the cap for this game.

Thibs has to be better as well as Rose, particularly down the stretch if we're going to pull this bad boy out.

[DPG21920]

Look at RedZero's nuts droppin.

[Killakobe81]

Kobe has zero shot. That's what I'm talking about. All of your Lebron "encouragements" are underhanded attempts to compare him to Kobe.

WTF? who is talking about Kobe? Kobe was mentioned in one sentence the rest of my post was about Lebron. The funny thing is I agree with you MJ>Kobe ...where in any of my 10,000 posts I have said otherwise?


LOL DPG, Kobe obsessed.

[Killakobe81]

The midget has a point. Kobe has been in the league for 15 years. We have seen his best, and it isn't as good as Jordan's.

But silly fool, doesnt get that I agree, he doesnt that is why my hopes are on Lebron ...

If I think MJ>Magic>Kobe then me saying Lebron could be GOAT and better than Magic how is that underhanded praise?

[picc84]

Spur fans still clinging to Jordan>Kobe when Laker fans have given up on that long long ago. :lol

exactly. DPG equates almost "zero chance" = agenda.

It will be pretty damn ironic if the Finals come down to the two guys who havent been able to "win the big one" or "get it done" in Dirk and LeBron.....
