The problem is the teams they WILL play in the Playoffs they struggle mightily against, especially in crunch time, the time this team is suppose to be built to handle.

Boston Celtics sign Carlos Arroyo.. with the injuries to Delonte West & Von Wafer the C's needed a backup PG. They were going to probably re-sign Chris Johnson after his 10 day contract was up but with the signing of Troy Murphy we had to get another PG.

Didn't know Raptors and Nets were playing 2 in London, but today's game is in double overtime. Raptors should just stay across the pond and call London home.

Think the C's will ask him to help them learn the plays that the Heat run that they don't already know? I heard that at the ASG practices that Doc would put the Big 4 with Bosh and they would run the same plays that Miami runs. LBJ and Wade could not have been too happy once they saw that.

Really needed to search that one? It worked for me and it wasnt the one I was thinking of. They had Delonte as the link and I was thinking Parker, Shaq, Jamison, JJ or Boobie.

Then why did you say the following bolded quotes? If you actually grew a set of balls and picked the argument you believed in, instead of being in between with your arguments, maybe no one would call you out for your recent posts.

Never seen James hesitate so much. He is a shell of himself this year. His numbers may be there but he isn't the same player.

Ref looked athletic there. I hate to laugh but it did look pretty funny.

I agree with you gerb that LeBron just doesn't look comfortable for whatever reason. I think Wade has fallen off more than James, he looks lost a lot.

Because you don't change the names of teams.

You sir are obviously not aware of 82 games dot com. That said why did the Heat go away from the guy who kept them in the game Mario Chalmers?
