But he's great when he's healthy as he can get to the rim and he has a good post up game. But without that, you can see the results and it's bad.

Ya, I have beaten it to death, but it's the biggest story line and it's being glossed over by most the media. People talk about how LeBron's two late turnovers let the Spurs back in it, but those two turnovers were a result of the Spurs clogging the paint because Wade's defender was just sagging towards the lane a lot and not respecting Wade as a shooter.SportsAndLady;1460595 wrote:I think we've (You've) established this about 45 times in the last 36 hours.

It's about as hard of a game to make a pick in as I can think of in recent times. Both teams really gave their all in game 6 and have to be battered and tired. The Heat have the momentum because they came back and won, pulling victory out of what seemed certain defeat...but it's not like they'll have a real homecourt advantage with their lolfans and that's the sort of thing that really can make a difference in that situation. Not a typical "beat-down, dejected team getting run out of the gym because they get overwhelmed by home team riding the wave" situation.Crimson streak;1460754 wrote:It's crazy that the spurs gave never trailed in a finals series dispute playing in 2 game 7's. it's a tough to pick who wins. I feel like the spurs will, mainly because of their experience
This kind of battle is happening, in ways both obvious and subtle, on every possession. And they all matter. No human being can process 180 NBA possessions and remember them forever when it comes time to assess exactly why one team won one game, or, even more daunting, to decide one player’s stature in NBA history. But to ignore the process and focus 90 percent of our collective mental focus and (loud) analysis on a few very large late-game plays is unfair and takes away from the work, and the beauty, that goes into building a championship team.

I read it earlier. I honestly don't mind their long articles as long as the topic is interesting, and the information communicated is actually insightful. You can learn more about the game, specific plays, strategy, etc. from one of their articles than listening to the ESPN talking heads go back and forth about clutch/non-clutch all day, every day.lhslep134;1460796 wrote:awesome quote by Zach Lowe in his preview of Game 7
