Fixed for accuracy.

Lakers dont need a great PG. The triangle would put hand cuffs on big time PG's, so thats why Fish and Blake are good fits, play good defense and can knock down some clutch 3's.

I mean, there have always been rumors of CP3 wanting to play for the Lakers and what not (just rumors) and as much as I would LOVE him....he would be handcuffed because the triangle doesnt ask all that much out of the PG position.

holy **** sasha scored 25 tonight?

took him 3 OT's but damn lol.

Neither Fisher or Blake play good defense.

Yeah Fisher and Blake are not only not good defenders but they're abysmal, especially Fish. They can knock down a clutch three here or there but they're terrible at everything else.

Ask Ray Allen what kind of defense Fish plays. Ray hates the little ****.

Fish is great at chasing players around screens and dogging good shooters. He takes a lot of charges. He is a very good at what we ask him to do so....

Apparently he felt like putting the ball in the bucket tonight, since he can score 20 or 30 whenever he wants.

[yo123]

There is no ******* way Brook Lopez had 14 rebounds and 8 blocks tonight, ESPN has to be lying to me.

2 things it was triple overtime so he ended up playing 47 minutes, 2nd he was facign Bargs an equally horrendous rebounding center. So many shots put up he was bound to have some fall in his lap.

[scottyboy]

true, but IIRC, he had 12 or 13 boards at the end of regulation.
FIERCE DOWN LOW PRESENCE

[SeanTaylorRIP]

Bargs is the worst end of the game shooter ever. Had 2 chances to win the game with 10+ seconds on the clock both times settled for awful attempts. I mean are you serious, he got the ball with 12 seconds on him, Kris Humphries on on tight, and not only in those 12 seconds does he not try to take Humphries off the dribble, but in 12 seconds he doesn't take a single dribble and takes a jumper with Humphries who had been standing in his pocket the whole time.

[Chucky]

Ya, it was pretty ugly. Definately wasn't smart to run an iso for him. Wouldn't say that he is that bad of an end of game shooter, just can't take a guy one on one like that from a footwithin the three point line

Booker is the first guy tonight not to back down to him. Booker's last 2 dunks are definitely going to be SC top plays.

Booker always played bigger than he was but he is a tweener. I think he is around 6'7 6'8 but he can play, and unfortunately I just watched the top 10 and I didn't see them. I am not sure he can pull a Dejuan Blair because he simply isn't that all around good, but he can rebound and attack the rim.. and I guess plays some good defense.

Wooooo Roses vs. the Wades round 3 is at noon today! Looks like I'm not getting anything done this afternoon...

[thenewfeature06]

I had Miami beating the Spurs.. that uh didn't pan out. I will continue to pick them until they win which sounds wierd haha I don't see them losing today at least though the Bulls are a better TEAM.

Edit - Boozer plays like he is 35.

[iowatreat54]

FTs in the 1st half

Heat: 14
Bulls: 3

I guess the Heat were bound to win one vs. a top team eventually...

[djp]

Derrick Rose is f'n sick. That was filthy.

[djp]

Does anyone else think Dwayne Wade coasts through 95% of games? He's like the Ilya Kovalchuk of the NBA when it comes to effort sometimes.

[M.O.T.H.]

This Magic game without Howard tomorrow should be hilarious...considering Ryan Anderson has been playing backup Center. lol. I just hope Stan doesnt rob Earl Clark of an opportunity to play big minutes. A loss is probably imminent, so what the hell, right?

[SARCASM]I really love when people ***** about the refs and FT disparity.[/SARCASM]

[MetSox17]

lolol, Wade keeps the Heat in the game by going to the rack on back to back possessions, next possession Lebrick gets the ball and shoots a fadeaway baseline jumper.

[CashmoneyDrew]

Go Los Bulls!

[MetSox17]

Mvp Mvp Mvp Mvp Mvp Mvp Mvp

[iowatreat54]

Question for Heat fans:

How can you chant MVP for both Wade and Lebron?

[LonghornsLegend]

Miami might not make it out of the 1st round. If Lebron doesn't go further then what he did with the Cavs the irony of that will be pretty funny.
