Bosh should get more, and Ray Allen can't throw it in the ocean. Miami may as well start Mike Miller over Wade, he can atleast space the floor and make a shot.

It's so funny how the media flip flops and overreacts after every single game, comical. One day it's Miami is in control, then it's Indy.

That was more of a joke from earlier. I think it was Bases who said Miami was losing to a team without their best player.

When we said "Paul George". He sarcastically responded if he was better than Granger. Hell, I think Hibbert is better than Granger lol.

I agree. Bosh and Wade wont play that badly in game 7, Indianas role players won't play that well, and Miami will win this. You'd think after tonight that Indiana would be going for the sweep.

Hibbert averaged what, 10 points a game in the regular season? Huge strides made by him this post season. George and Hibbert are definitely the two building blocks.

It's an absolute joke, this has been a great series and they act like one team has been dominant. I understand they say shit for ratings but cmon.

I had no idea that was something people kept track of lol. But, I agree, it wasnt a foul on Hibbert. Probably should have been a no call, but I can see why they called it on Lebron.

He definitely didnt produce like this in the regular season. But last post season, last regular season and this post season show me he is really good. I obviously watched a lot of Pacers games this year. While they threw it down low a lot, West was usually the guy with the mismatch (as a PF) so he got the touches. Thats why Hibbert had pedestrian scoring numbers and West averaged 20 for a good portion of the year.

Don't think Pat Riley won't hesitate to make a major shakeup if Miami doesn't win the title. I'm sure he is disgusted by what he is seeing from Wade and Bosh, they literally are playing the worst basketball of their careers at the wrong time.

They called almost the same thing on battier earlier in the series. For Indiana to win game 7 they need to feed Hibbert. No one on Miami can stop him and David west has to have his mid range jumper going.

He has the game, very fundamentally sound, can shoot the hook with both hands(something you rarely see in today's game). I'm most impressed with his understanding of position and sealing his man on the block.

Yeah, unreal how much he developed from 2 years ago to now. Night and day. David West deserves 1000 rep points for it. lol

He's an idiot. I can't stand him. He probably would say Lebron couldn't start for IU too.

By the way that this series has gone odds are that Miami will probably win by seven plus on Monday. I've really enjoyed watching this Indiana team grow up. As a Heat fan my confidence level is quite low. LeBron pretty much called Wade and Bosh a bunch of Mo Williams-- All Stars that disappear in the playoffs... and they answer that by playing their worst game. I wouldn't hesitate to throw Mike Miller in there and try to steal one or two 3's to get the crowd going. Anything that will give Dwyane Wade less playing time. he's my favorite player but even I cant take his b******* anymore. Its sad watching him b**** because he cant do it like he used to anymore.

Also, Roy Hibbert throwing in the "no homo" comment after his remark was pure gold. That was awesome.
