I think he's this good, people have forgotten about him over the past few years because Kobe gets most of the media attention. LeBron is definitely the Pippen in this duo with the style they play.

Man, Miami is playing like shit right now. They look like an elementary school team fumbling around with the ball out there. To quote Herb Brooks, they look like a bunch of monkeys trying to hump a football. 6 turnovers in the 4th quarter so far.

I wouldn't have expected the last play of the game to look any less like the clusterfuck 4th quarter Miami had. It was seriously hard to believe that they were a professional basketball team.

how quickly do we forget how bad Wade sucked in Boston and Chicago? In this series LeBron is taking the backseat in scoring, but he's doing his thing elsewhere passing and playing D.

Exactly. They can't play well for more than 5 minutes at a time. I keep tuning in waiting to see this team be "great". I still think they will win the series but they go through long stretches of the game where they just confuse the hell out of me. Why isn't LeBron driving to the basket and going to the FT line? He played tonight like he was scared to shoot the ball, 8 pts, really?

What a game tonight. This is looking like a really good series right now. Finally Dallas got support from everyone.

Yeah, including Miami.

lebron definitely gave up the ball way too much in the 4th quarter ... why is chalmers handling the ball at all when the shot clock is winding down ...

on another note ... lebron gives the worst pep talks pre game ... first the one where "if you aren't exhausted by the end of the game - you didn't play hard enuf" and now today's "our backs are against the wall and this is a must-win game" ... attention: first, some guys only play a few mins - no way they'll be exhausted ... and second, you still have home court advantage ...

LeBron played great D on Derrick Rose, completely controlled the 4th quarters of those games. He is not stepping up in this series. He has to be more aggressive on offense. Wade was amazing tonight.

Did anybody else think that Miami looked like the Washington Generals in the 4th? I half expected Dirk and Kidd to run around the courts with buckets of confetti.

interesting... :think:

i like rooting against the heat like a lot of people do. kind of like rooting against the yankees or cowboys to me. in a way, i think it's good for the nba to have such a team like this. love 'em or hate 'em

i'll watch the superbowl, and the ncaa football title game, but beyond that, once my team is done, i'm genearlly done.

different years are differnet, but that's the general rule.

i only watch because i want the heat to lose sooooo bad! ...

but sadly ... dallas is lucky to be tied 2-2 ... jason kidd is old, shawn marion is old ... no one can score on the mavs except terry and dirk ... i don't see this series going in favour of dallas unless miami chokes ... :(
