Miami has been horrible on offense, but their D has been extremely good this series. They're just too athletic for JJ, he isn't fast enough to break their pressure. It's not Fisher or Westbrook this series, so the lane is also a lot more active. Barea's been awesome but he's in over his head.
hate picklebreaths but can't argue against this one tbh. JJB & Peja should get NO minute against the heat imho, dem can be good against soft teams however when you take on the a whole bunch of beasts like the heat are, some true S are wat you need imho. brewer & Stevenson & marion can all do a fine job handling wade/le imho
Wow...Lebron just got son'd by a reporter..."why are you shrinking in the 4th quarter."
Alright, just watched the game and have to say that Lebron isn't even as good as prime Duncan let alone best of all time. Even though TD is a bigman he's usually a lot better than Lebron in crunch time.
Lebron's got holes in his game and he's not very consistent in crunch time. Crunch time is THE place you need to be consistent if you want to be one of the all time greats. He doesn't seem to have the handles to get to the rim with the game on the line unless he charges or goes through people with his physical strength. Wade is definitely in another league with the game on the line IMO.
I'd say all these players have been better than Lebron overall up to this point until he proves otherwise and becomes a consistent closer :
Shaq
TD
Kobe
Dirk
As far as crunch time players go:
Kobe
Manu
Wade
Dirk (I put Dirk here because those other guys can get you a steal, a block an assist to win the game without taking a shot)
Roy
It's really weird watching these playoffs because I am so used to Kobe, Manu, Tim having the ball in their hands at the end of the game and usually making good plays. These playoffs I've seen up after up after up in crunch time from a lot of the players that have been hyped up by the media.
Wow, I didn't know it was that conclusive.
Also, considering the Mavs only win required a miracle comeback, it looks like the Superfriends got this.
Dirk just ain't getting enough help. LOL, Lakers getting beat by Peja.
LOL spurs getting beat by:
2011 "El General" Grevis Vasquez
2010 Jared Dudley and channing Frye
2009 JET
2008 Sasha the "manu stopper"
Spurs and Lakers fans are like old Korea/Vietnam vets stuck in an apartment together. Instead of having a beer and talking about old times, they're trying to fight each other over who killed more commies.
LOL not a bad analogy ...I just like to break balls when they decide to bring up Kobe or the Lakers in random conversations that aint got to do with us. As a Laker fan i respect the sPurs ...and some of their fans. But they hate us so much it's funny ...we only reserve that level of venom for the celts.
You tend to hate the bullies. The C's are the Lakers' bullies and the Lakers are the Spurs' bullies
I would say that given the period of dominance that the Lakers and Spurs held sway over the NBA in the oughts, it's natural for Spurfan to be a little obsessed, especially given the relative youth of their franchise and subsequent first rise to prominence alongside LAL. I.e. "I've had more reds on the end of my bayonette than you've ever looked down the sights at!"
