Which is not much different than it's been from the other side after each bad game.

It did last year.

Yeah, we really flooded this thread after last game. Good call.

That guy always choked in the clutch. .419? He obviously couldn't shoot either or at least he couldn't when the pressure was on.

Maybe he should have been a trashman ;)

More 4th quarter heroics from LeBrick.

Too much time thinking about "The Decision." Love it.

Another great game and it's been a fantastic series.

Hard to criticize a guy when he has a triple double, but 2 points, on an uncontested layup in the 4th quarter isn't going to cut it.

How many missed wide open jumpers and hot potato passes late in games before people can admit that he's scared? 11 points on 4-for-16 in five fourth quarters now. This is the best player in the world.

As I said after game four, I hate when I can't defend something. This is getting bad. Yeah, overall with the triple-double, it would appear that it was a good game. But the name of the game is still scoring the most points and he's had moments in these games where he should have just taken over....and he hasn't. It's very disturbing and disappointing.

He needs to be on anxiety meds.

good call on all points.

I'll admit that he looks scared this series in the 4th quarter. he should be taking games over and driving to the basket. it's not like he cant do it physically.

LeBron is redeeming himself. Many thought he quit last year, but these games 4 and 5 were clones of game 5 and 6 against Boston last year. He vanished completely in game 4 like game 5 last year and put up the emptiest triple double ever imagined in game 5 just like game 6 against Boston last year.

He didn't quit last year, but like many on here post and I try to debate with, he is what they say he is. Two straight scoreless 4th quarters in monster games of importance. I guess technically he scored, but it was a freebie basket when game decided. I'm loving this series, and ateam, coach and clyde always knew what he was about. And in a weird way, LeBronze has redeemed himself in showing perhaps he didn't quit last year....he's just what he is...a shrinking violet. He still has a chance to win a few titles, but whatever.

Catch up it did last night, James played better but still disappeared in 4th quarter...with Wade hurting he had every chance to be the man and despite a triple double he was far from a superstar. It's now all on the line, he either comes alive or faces a long off season!

Thanks so much ,Mr. Course.

I really miss our discussions about LaGoneSouth.

I enjoyed calling you a dumb ass fucl< face almost as much as you enjoyed calling me an emptied headed dick nose.

Golly, the old days....I really miss them.

Stay classy, guys.

I think they're f.ucking. The white boy sweaters in summer are a dead giveaway.

If the Heat loses this series at home and LeBron has another bad game in the loss, I don't even think a championship next year will redeem him in the public eye. He'd have to win at least three or four.

The Cold.



Coming to your emergency room soon.

Interesting 2nd foul call on Dirk. :rolleyes:

Pretty convenient.

It's crazy how much trouble the zone gives the Heat. Mr. First Quarter came out firing but I'm guessing that jumper won't be so friendly when the pressure turns on.

You can only sag off the perimeter against a good shooting team like that for so long before it burns you.

What was that a 14-0 run with Lebron on the bench.

Oh yeah how does ABC go to break with all the pushin and shovin going on at center court?

Huge performance by Terry to keep them afloat while Dirk is struggling.

I really haven't watched much of the series, but find it remarkable when Breen said that Lebron was only taking his 17th free throw attempt of the finals.
The guy looks lost out there.

Agreed. He was a non factor games 1 and 2, but has played huge the last few.

But how many open looks is Lebron going to pass on?

Wade can't handle that he's not getting every single call he got in '06.

Huge last 3-4 minutes of the quarter by the Mavs, to extend the lead with Dirk on the bench.

That blocking call against barea was one of the worst I have seen.

10 point margin with 2 and a half to go.

That makes up for the beating I took yesterday at Belmont!!! Dirk is the man!!

Nice to see Lebron nut up down 12 with under 2 minutes left and start taking some 3's..... :rolleyes:

Beautiful. Dirk may not have had a great night, but he made the buckets when they counted most. No matter how much talent you assemble, you have to have a closer to win the title. LeBron will never be that guy.

As a fan, it was a very exciting series to watch. Dallas was the better team and ultimately made more plays when it counted.

Very happy that punk b.itch didn't get a ring.

Miami will be very tough next year...if there is a next year.

Coaching was the big difference in this series. I think the price of styling gel in Miami is about to go up.

What more proof do you need? They aren't winning it. Period. He's a choker and it rubbed off on Wade.

No shot.

Oh please. The big difference was that the Mavs had a guy who found ways to score in the final six minutes and the Heat didn't. What the hell did Spoelstra do wrong?
