Thurs. 1/17 - Lakers vs Heat - Predictions & Comments

d12 is overrated and every team is going to foul him because they know he's going to miss his shots...


LEBRON GUARDING KOBE AND KOBE NOT GUARDING HIM!!!

I THOUGHT KOBE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE DEFENSIVE STOPPER NOW

wow lebron shut kobe down these last few mins

And it's over now.

We didn't need desperation 3's....

Not sure what to think about this game.

why foul now....

The team defense by the Heat is reminiscent of the early 90's NY teams.... no one is ever open it seems....

pathetic finish...sad thing i aint surprised...

So when are Lebron and Wade going to go on Oprah about their HGH use?

Didn't execute late but take the horrid officating in favor of the Cheat and we win.

Continuation?

Sorry, but that's simply ridiculous.

haha lebron not giving in at all wow.

lakers gave up and thought heat was going to run the time out?

DONT STOP PLAYING CUZ LEBRON JUST STUFFED IT IN YOUR DAMN FACE

Think that for the champs the Heat sure need a lot of help to beat a 12th seed in the west. Just garbage pure garbage.

They had moving screens and phantom calls too? I don't know, I was too young to enjoy basketball for most of the 90's.

Respect to Miami's swarming defense despite their complete disadvantage in size. They're champions for a reason. But the officiating in the 4th didn't hurt their cause either...

and the 3rd. . . and most of the 2nd.

"Another win in L.A." for Ray Allen.

Good game for Miami. Gotta give them their due. That team defense is possibly the scariest thing I have ever seen on a basketball court.

the turning point of this game was clearly the missed call on lebron when he dove for the ball and clearly rolled over at least 5-6 ft with the ball before allen hit the 3

refs clearly blew that one

For all of the "bellyaching" over the Refs..... we had fewer fouls (by 4) and more FT attempts (by 5).

The difference was when Nash was on the floor..... they had a plan for that and executed it to perfection on both ends. Combine that with fantastic defense and Miami was the better team.

I am so pissed right now.

Nash, Gasol, and Metta did nothing in the clutch.

9 to ZERO run. Howard airballing a free throw. nice

They're a great defensive team, no doubt, but they get a ton of favorable calls that put them over the top. Otherwise, they're just a typical 3rd seed team.

Miami played great, great defense, and I'm not saying they weren't the better team... But damn it did feel like we got the short end of the stick in regards to the officiating.

Unnecessary dunk by LeBron in the last six seconds with the shot clock off. What a dbag.
