The 2013-14 NBA season

miami has stopped playing team basketball ... especially in the 4th quarter ... they basically running iso plays for LBJ or wade ... you can't win in this league without playing a team concept ...

although OKC have great individual talent in durant, westbrook and harden ... they play team basketball all the way ... you don't see durant dribbling the ball for 10 seconds then throwing a horrible shot up ... westbrook on occasion ...

i really can't believe the C's are even still playing ... they are playing gritty and hard but miami is just awful right now ...

Nobody plays team basketball more than Grit and Balls. Rondo finds everybody on the court and their passing has been superb overall.

Also, let's not overlook the fact that Doc has coached circles around that doofus standing on the sidelines for Miami. And God willing, he'll do the same for that midget for OKC.

for sure ... the C's are maximizing their output based on coaching, team play and grit ... i said it way earlier in this thread - i think I had Doc number 2 behind Pop for coach of the year ...

and yeah - hopefully, miami will continue to play with their head up their ass and the C's can pull out another win ...

Lebron is playing well so far but he has a look on his face like he's about to throw up any second. Miami goes on a run every time KG goes to the bench.

I'm a little behind on the live broadcast, watching it on DVR, but as James walked towards the locker room at the half he looked incredibly unhappy.

That was his demeanor the whole game, never smiled, never encouraged his teammates, just that blank stare. Maybe he's realizing the rest of his team has sucked lately. But man he got it done, great performance. The rest of the team needs to step up for them to win a championship. Wade took another first half off. Boston is an up and down team, when they're on they look great, but tonight they couldn't throw it in the ocean.

I just like this series for the entertainment and the way these teams hate each other :corn: Keep waiting to see some greatness and tonight was one of the best individual performances I've seen in a while. Saturday should be fun to watch.

We didn't want this result, but the fact that we sit here looking at a game 7 on Saturday night is a promising sight. They played like shit tonight. One only need look at Pierce's line to see that. The turnovers were silly in the first half and it never seemed like this team had any rhythm the whole night. They will come back strong Saturday night and the home court advantage has been thrown out the window the last two games, so I think its a coin-flip. I like their chances, despite the result tonight. No way James has the same line Saturday as he did tonight, but the C's MUST be better and quicker at defending him. I counted at least 4 times where he made a cut against Pietrus or KJ for an easy score. That cannot happen if Grit and Balls expect to advance.

I agree. Both teams can play good D for stretches when they put forth the effort but the series seems to be going back and forth based on if the shots are falling for Boston. Even with Lebron's crazy performance the Celtics still could have been in this game if any of their guys could have got in a rhythm but all of them struggled on the same night. This is what is great about sports and 7 game series, momentum switches back and forth, now it's game 7 all or nothing. Let's see another OT game in this series on Saturday night

I can't believe how poorly Boston played last night. With the momentum coming off that huge road win in Miami, they pretty much shit right down their leg. It's hard to see them taking game 7 in Miami.

as much of a douche lebron can be, that was an amazing first half.

looked like somebody pissed him off before the game....which...can lead to greatness.

he actually played like a star should play...and he didn't need to flop around like a fish out of water. if he wants to change his persona, playing like this on a regular basis would be a good start

Yeah, Lebron was unreal last night.

Fuck Lebron. That is all.

Rondo and KG go in the locker room before the game is over, don't even shake hands. That's weak. This series couldn't get much closer, when Boston role players played well they won, tonight Bosh and Battier played well and the Heat won. I hope we see this playoff matchup again next year, that was a fun series!

Now on to the finals... Who ya got? I'm picking the Heat for some reason even though I think the Thunder should be favored. You can't really expect Lebron to play all 48 minutes every game, that's crazy.

yeah one of my friends posted that on facebook how they didn't even shake hands :nono: pretty lame.

With that out of the way, go OKC!
