Wade, Lebron's attitude at post-Game 3 conference was different

[Embedded]

Normally after a loss they are somber. This time they were laughing, smiling, downplaying it. It was odd. I think they were embarassed, and showing false bravado. Game 4 might be the collapse of the Heat. I am smelling blood in the water.

[Poolboy5623]

Kind of disrespectful to sit there and whisper to one another, while a reporter tries to ask questions.

[Gervin44Silas13]

it was that same black man that asked Spo the same question......what the hell are you supposed to say when the opposition...shoots lites out...

[-21-]

Even if the "lack luster" guy wasn't there, they did seem a little too smiley and laughy. Something was off. At first I thought they were confident the Spurs' play was a fluke so they didn't take it too seriously and are ready for Game 4... But the OP's suggestion may be just as true.

[Mugen]

:lol Did you even hear the "question" that the "reporter" asked before they did that? Their response to that guy was about the best you could expect after a trolljob like that. Pop would have dismembered that guy if he pulled that kind of BS on the Spurs tbh.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Heat got their butts kicked. Look at the stats, they had a good game and got blown out. What can you say to that. I can only imagine when the Heat finally do have a down game b/c they have had one each series thus far except this one. It just might be game 4.

Or maybe they already "know" it's going 7. I wouldn't put anything past the league getting their money and forcing it to go the full 7.

I took it as being a little too confident relying on that "haven't lost back to back games" trend assuming they'll automatically get the next one. Eventually that shits gonna end.


And what s why them acting like little school girls giggling and whispering to each other. Smh

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Yeah that was a stupid question. I thought Wade handled it well.

The whole point is it wasn't a question. He basically making a statement with a question that they are getting beat on both sides of the ball. It was a troll question with an obvious answer and a very good one at that.

[Purch]

Q: Coach, you gave San Antonio the credit, and you mentioned a couple times that you're in The Finals. How does a team in their fourth Finals come out in The Finals, their first home game and get beat to the ball to get stomped the way they did? The kind of heart that your championship team has, to come out tonight like they did mentally has to be something that's a problem.

Spoelstra: Clearly.


Q: This is for both of you, you have a great defense. They're averaging 104 points a game. You have a lot of offense, you haven't broken a hundred yet. Is the problem your lackluster defense or is it the problems you're having offensively, lackluster offense?

James: ...


Wade: The problem is we're down two games to one. That is the problem. We've got to figure out how to tie it up.

[tdunk21]

“You have a great defense. They’re averaging 104 points a game. You have a great offense. You haven’t broke 100 (points) yet. Is the problem your lackluster defense or is it the problems your having offensively? Lackluster offense,” Ramos asked.

I actually like Miami a lot more after watching that press conference. I've always respected them and liked Lebron. But Spo is easily my third-favorite coach in the league now, and I even can stand Wade a little bit.

Of course I heard the question. ..so what? Either answer it or dont, but is it necessary to whisper back and forth, like a couple of 12 year old girls? It continued shortly after. The next guy asking actually paused, and waited for them to quit whispering to one another b4 finishing his question.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I didnt think that was a troll question if you consider they got blown out by the Spurs. I thought LeBron and Wade were just embarrassed and reacted that way - too me it was disrespectful and it was weird since the guy asking the question is a Miami guy.

Also, I still haven't heard from them that the Spurs played better. Even Allen didnt want to admit it. Saying "they jumped on us" implying they were more aggressive is not the same as "they were better". I saw a lot of people yesterday talking more about Miami playing badly than the Spurs actually beating them.

[Jimcs50]

Lebron is the most sensitive star I've ever seen. He said since he had 7 TOs, now "Lebron" (he speaks about himself in 3rd person)is going to catch heck about it now. Every time he loses, he gets all bent out of shape and is very defensive, just like a little pussy.

[Mugen]

:lol Stop reaching and enjoy the W tbh.

[gameFACE]

It'd be like giving a GNSF a press pass after a Spurs loss tbh :lol

I was thinking something similar. :lol

[Shastafarian]

Are people seriously trying to critique Lebron and Wade on the post-game press conference? Other than finding it funny, why the hell do you care so much?

[Spur|n|Austin]

Hey now.

[Mugen]

Hey now.

rascal is bolded tbh. don't feel too bad.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Wade was pretty upbeat and relaxed after Game 1, joking with reporters and laughing about the AC malfunction. Bosh and others were more somber, but Wade handled the loss pretty well and they came out and won Game 2. I wouldn't expect any of those players to look defeated any time soon, they obviously live for playing out of a hole and it's not like being down 2-1 to the Spurs is unfamiliar territory to them.

[TVI]

Troll question tbh. Homer fan pissed about the loss asks a binary question which can't be answered — like "have you stopped beating your wife."

The honest answer could be simple: the Spurs are a better team, but the homer troll can't even entertain that possibility.

[jermaine]

Pop was an ass hole to reporters an we won! Lol

[Budkin]

He knows they haven't lost two in a row since 2012. I would be smiling too. It's up to the Spurs to wipe that smile off his face.

[tholdren]

why?

the guy asked what was worse, their offense or defense. They laughed, and deflected. Then he asked if coming out like a bunch of Tiago Splitters (SOFT) was a problem, probably wanting to hear what your man-crush was going to do about it. He said, "Clearly"

What he mean to say was, "lebron runs this team. if he dont wanna play, then he'll cramp up and make excuses. I cant get him to do anything he doesnt want to do or he'll cry and get me fired. PS I had relations with pat riley to get this job."

I see many reasons why you like these interviews = the deflection tactics and the man crushes. How cute

I made an utter ass out of myself, seriously. Not one of my proudest moments. I had just been high fiving my wife, friend, and son and talking on the phone with my other friend about how awesome it was that we were going to win the title while watching Kawhi miss the first FT. When Ray hit the 3 I was smacking the floor like a goddamned toddler having a temper tantrum. Slept about an hour that night. I think my wife wanted to divorce me. Not setting myself up for that shit again.

[tmtcsc]

First of all, San Antonio's Mike Monroe asks the dumbest questions / statements in local media. He's the king of the "Pop, talk about..." as in, I can't ask questions so please say something I can write about. He's far worse than McDonald and even got an award for sticking around in a dying media making shitty money.

Am I the only one who didn't think the questions were that bad? He was pretty much asking to what did they attribute the loss? Defense or Offense?

As for Spo, (using my interpretation skills) he pretty much asked - "How can such an experienced, championship-caliber team come out and play their 1st home Finals game with such little energy and enthusiasm ?"

[Spurminator]

He was a dick. They handled it fine. It's beyond a stretch to suggest their reaction can be used in any way to predict the outcome of Game 4 or the rest of the series.

[unleashbaynes]

That reporter sounded like a butthurt fan. Like you can just hear it in his voice. He mad.

[unleashbaynes]

Also, Spo's "Clearly" answer had me in stitches. I was sitting there thinking, "what the fuck is this dumb fat asshole rambling about?", and Spo just probably increased that guy's anger exponentially with an awesome one word answer. Very Pop-like.

Theres nothing in their demeanors that indicates anything about the future of the series. Spurs have to bring it and avoid stupid turnovers and foul trouble to have a chance in this series.

A reporter shouldnt tell the interviewee about their own team. They should ask short, concise questions about the game, not long winded questions that only serve to give the reporter face time.

That guy was awesome. He straight called them out in front of the whole world for being pussies. At least he didn't line up to blow them like the rest of those hacks.

The heat know they're fucked and they knew it from game one. We should've had game 2 TOs and FTs fucked us. They heat have checked out. When your assed is kicked make jokes cause that'll let em know you're not scared! Ha! champions don't giggle bisexual emos after a loss.

Clear case of the rocky 3 syndrome. The Spurs are a pissed off clubber Lang that's gonna fuck up rockys face and then lay the pipe to Adrian to punctuate a point. Cause Clubber fucking wants it more!

Never safe till the championship trophy is in Tim's hands.

Refs and clutch last minute plays are dime a dozen since 0.4.

[downunder]

Le Bron & Wade are playing their hearts out but can they carry the team; give them a go ! If Duncan, Parker & Manu are slowing down - they have an enthusiastic bench. I must say however that the Birdman has stepped up for the Heat - he plays solid defence and his aggression on Duncan is frustrating Duncan at times.

[tlongII]

They're still confident. I expect this series to go 7.

I have seen so much crazy shit in my life in the NBA I am never really calm until the clock is at all zeros'.. Even last night up 15 with 5 min to go I was nervous about a comeback. Game 6 enraged me like all fans because of the mistakes and basically handing that chip to Miami.. God we need to avenge this.. It's like a HW champion getting his long awaited rematch after being upset..

[poeticism707]

Normally after a loss they are somber. This time they were laughing, smiling, downplaying it. It was odd. I think they were embarassed, and showing false bravado. Game 4 might be the collapse of the Heat. I am smelling blood in the water.

You forget about the rigging.

The Heat about to

get a thousand fake freebies,

and get away with murder on D,

per par.

This series going 6, min.,

but probably 7.

Spurs are great,

but they can't win 5 on 8.

I think personally

think the league will let this one be

fair in games 6/and or 7,

as they don't mind the Spurs

winning for nostalgia's sake.

But you can forget about the Spurs

winning game 4.

Ain't happening.

Dude used that press conference as a way to let the Heat know he was unhappy with their performances. As if Spo, Bron and Wade owe him an explanation. If he really wanted to discuss the various reasons for their performances, he would have come at them differently. Instead, his sore, emotional ass grabbed the mic and acted like a woman.

Bron and Wade were immature with their responses, but the guy deserved to be clowned for trying to go at the three guys most responsible for all the Heat's success these past few years. Because getting waxed in front of their home crowd wasn't enough, they need Bobby Ramos and his sore pussy to tell them how disappointing their performance was.

[UZER]

Spo is an asshole bully for the way he answered :cry

[tholdren]

I would ask who is more hurt, the heat players, or the spurs fans for the way that media bully took it to the heat when they were down? It seems like there are a lot of "fans" on here upset with the questions for GOAT and HGHjaw. why?

[dg7md]

Pretty sure no one gives a fuck about scoring over 100 points as long as they win.

Obviously not literally 100, it was a barb at the fact that their offensive struggles have been prevalent throughout. Most games so far we've been scoring 100+, while the Heat haven't come close to that.

[SouthernFried]

I've actually come to like Wade and Bosh after their interviews. They give credit where due, and take blame where due. Got no real issues with Lebron either.
