    that is why running lineup with no pg will kill the heat


    james is doing to much
    they do not need to go for record wins they need to let their point guards make mistakes during the regular season

    sooooooooooooo glad pop plays all his players

    I look at it this way...

    The pistons beat LA when magic pulled his hamstring. At the time, it was a good reason the Lakers lost. All these years later, it's irrelevant and themPistons were back to back champs.

    Just like the Mike & Mike comments, you can see that even these guys don't believe Miami is going to win this series. They hate it, but they believe the Spurs got this.

    Kawhi is a badass and I think he's in James' head. if you've seen that video of him posted earlier where he's like "ah " when Kawhi checks back in. pretty hilarious.

    since you're into medicine/physical therapy, can HGH help people like Wade or James recover from exhaustion or Wade's knee injury, or will it not help in that regard?

    Probably. Third finals run in 3 years plus the Olympics. No excuses though, got to play like a champion.

    HGH and anabolic steroids help with the recovery/rebuilding time of muscles. But if it's the first dose, you aren't going to see a miracle in the first couple of days. In other words, it's not something you take like ibuprofen, to get on-demand relief. EPO acts pretty quickly to increase the oxygen-carrying ability of the blood, and can boost endurance. But even that really takes a couple of days - maybe a couple more to start getting full benefit. Creatine is over the counter, but I'm not a big believer in the amount of benefit from that. If you're interested for your own benefit, there's another over the counter called ribose that, in my opinion, does help with muscle recovery.

    I don't know what's wrong with Wade's knee, but nothing along the lines you're talking about is going to bring him instant relief or recovery. It can help a lot with the rehab, but not the kind of on-demand improvement you're talking about. Pain injections are perfectly legal, and I'd be surprised if he doesn't get them before these last games. It won't improve strength, but it will keep the pain from being paralyzing.

    steve kerr said in one of his interviews that he laughs when people say that the bulls couldve won 8 rings if not for mjs baseball. kerr claims that by the third championship in a row, the team is physically and mentally exhausted so mj NEEDED the break to do the two threepeats. he also predicted that regardless of whether the heat won this year or not, they would not win next year becuause of the grind of of four plus seasons and olympics.

    lebron also hit the floor pretty hard/awkwardly last game. hope he's feeling it because td and manu surely are with the quick turn around.

    thanks for answering my question. i figure wade and lebron are juicing big time, but that sounds good that it can't make them supermen or fix wade's knee. I think a big part of their problem is 3 Finals in a row and massive minutes throughout the season. That has to take a toll.

    Heh. I never used them, but I was sort of the designated driver for some friends who did. Make no mistake - over time they can make you superman. All I was saying was if someone started taking them after Game 4, it wouldn't make much of a difference by Game 5. And it doesn't help tendons or ligaments that are damaged. (If anything, you can strengthen muscles enough to strain ligaments and tendons while training.)

    I've got zero doubt in my mind that LeBron juiced, at least early in his career, to bulk up. I wouldn't consider it as a big issue in a single series. But - if I was a professional basketball player who had to run up and down the floor that many times, night after night? And if I had an NBA Championship on the line? I'd be looking at EPO. (I know, everyone can scream about how terrible that is.) But I would have started it at the beginning of the Finals. Once again, starting it after Game 4 wouldn't be enough to be worth the risk.
