    Isn't this what we thought last year? The problem with the Heat is they're getting no production from the role players. Those guys haven't showed up since the all-star game. Seriously, last nights game felt like 2 on 7. Once we start getting production out of the role players, we'll go back to...

    No way he signs. Like most superstar athletes, he wants to test free-agency.

    No MVP performance from Lebron tonight. This game looked eerily similar to last years NBA Finals. Wade was the only player who looked like he gave a damn. I don't think Lebron even scored in the 4th or OT. Just hope we rebound tomorrow against the Bulls.

    If the Heat don't win the title this year, most likely they will break up the big 3 (likely Bosh). That could make room for Howard.

    If Dwight Howard enters free agency, supposedly he wants to come to Miami or even the Clippers. Interesting. :confused: http://the305.com/2012/03/12/could-there-be-a-chance-that-dwight-howard-will-come-to-play-for-the-miami-heat/

    The all star game and the game against Utah were the only games where Lebron ****** on the final shot. So basically 1 game, and it was a good pass for a wide open look. D-Wade has 2 game winners, so I guess 3 are tied.

    What really ticked me off was your quote "Lebron, you should take notes". Lebron shouldn't be taking any notes from D-Rose. Matter-of-fact, D-Rose should be talking notes from Lebron James on how to be a better scorer, passer, shooter, rebounder, and defender. Lebron has taken a lot of game...

    :mad::mad::mad: Maybe D-Rose took notes from Lebron in the Eastern Conference Finals, when Lebron personally punk'd his ass. Where was D-Rose then? And just because you hit a game winner in the regular season against the Bucks, that doesn't make you clutch. Lebron hit a game winner in the...

    Interesting to see that Wade got the ball exclusively in the final 2 minutes, despite the fact that Lebron was by far the most consistent player, and Wade was not. It worked out though because Wade made all the right plays.

    That was huge because James had to guard Gasol when he could have been guarding Kobe. Wade usually does good job on Kobe, but Kobe just really had it going. Not even Battier could stop him. I thought it was a pretty weird game. Really nothing to be concerned about.

    The Knicks are playing very well. Not surprised that Lin is struggling, but the rest of the team is picking up that slack despite the turnovers. If the Knicks can continue dominating the boards, this game could be closer than what many thought.
