Interesting ESPN article on Miami's spectacular comeback:

Breaking down the Bulls' meltdown (http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nba/columns/story?columnist=isaacson_melissa&id=6597932)


And when James missed another rare free throw following the Heat timeout and Brewer followed with one of two foul shots to restore the lead to 12 with 3:14 left, the Bulls' lead still appeared safe.

In fact, after 10,000 simulations, Accuscore.com calculated that at that point, the Heat had just a 1 percent chance of winning the game.

Thank you for proving LeBron James greatness to beyond a shadow of a doubt.

I dont know if the conference finals have been Dallas and Miami taking over late or just epic choke jobs by OKC and Chicago. Kind of disapointing tbh. Both of these series should have gone 7

Feel bad for the Bulls. This game will probably haunt Rose for a while.

Memphis Tiger National Title Game still Haunts him.

If that Accuscore simulation data is even half-correct, I guess we've witnessed a historic moment. Although I wouldn't have guessed that there's only a 1 percent chance to come back from a 12-pt deficit with 3:12.

I wonder what the chances were for .04?

I don't feel bad for any team that can't hold a 12-point lead at home in the last three-and-a-half minutes. Fuck 'em.

Same here. Inexcusable.
