Actually I don't use pwn that much or even close to as much as my "partner in crime". Also please point out where my "partner in crime" is right now? You are just speaking out of your ass.

Sorry, hes not here with you for once.


The only time I've really seen you post anything with substance has been in the off season indians and browns threads.Or the game threads for those respected teams. And you do know what you're talking about there. Anything other than that, you just go through threads (like this one) and pick apart posts, and never really talk about the subject at hand. For example I dont think ive heard you say one thing about the game in this entire thread.

I talked about the game a bit, but yes i pick apart idiotic comments, such as your post about Cleveland fans. You probably should get over it yourself, before you say shit like that. It's funny how people say get over it, yet they always tend to bring it up themselves.

You are just resorting to generalizations, and like I said speaking out of your ass.

Looking for thoughts on the final Heat possession of the game last night when LeBron got the ball with 3.4 or so left after Dirk put the Mavs ahead.....with the recent talk from Scottie Pippen comparing Jordan and James, my initial thought last night when LeBron gave the ball up in that situation was---Jordan would have never in a million years passed the ball. I'm not saying he would have made the shot, but he sure as heck would have been the guy taking the shot.....in my opinion, LeBron just isn't a closer. He showed it in Cleveland and he continues to show it Miami.

So last night was the first game you watched all post season eh? You picked a good time to start. It was a wild one.

Wasn't the first game, I just thought is was coincidental the way the game played out so closely after Pippen's remarks...

It was the correct play. Wade had a good look and it just clanked off the rim. It was a lot better look than LBJ had (which was very poor). If we're going to question LBJ's play, that play is the least of the worries. I'm more worried about the lack of aggression to the rim for the whole entire game. I'm concerned about his defensive effort in the 4th. I'm disappointed by him trying to play hero in the closing minutes instead of playing to win a ball game. The stats, once again, look very nice. However, my eyes tell a different story. He played with minimal effort for phases of the 4th and played with minimal basketball IQ for phases. I will tell you this much in regards to the Jordan comparison. Jordan would have TOLD the team he was SHUTTING DOWN Dirk. He never would have ASKED to GUARD Dirk. That's what I find the most disappointing. It doesn't matter what the coach says-- you take that challenge and you own that mother fucker. And those around you dare not get in your way or question you because they sense that killer instinct and know you'll do exactly what you say you will. I would LOOOVE to hear audio of that last timeout. Personally, it would tell me A LOT(whether right or wrong).

That's funny because the host from that ESPN station out of Miami that called WKNR said Spo had to "fight players off that were coming to his office door offering to guard ,insert opposing team's star player>."

Why people want to continue to compare Lebron to Jordan is ridiculous. Guy's like Jordan, Bird & Magic had such a fire and intensity, would "will" their teams to victory. Jordan or Bird would rather rip out an opponents liver than give them a hug or a chest bump. Lebron is nothing like this. He confirmed this when he left to join forces with the others.

I'd agree with that last point about the competitiveness of players, today is a different era though and all players aren't as cut throat imo. They may be respecting each other TOO much.

Well those players were MIA when it mattered most. If Bosh was the consensus top choice to guard Dirk then that's just dumb. There's a difference between an office door and crunch time in game two. I think they'll get aster it better on Dallas.

I laughed a bit during the postgame presser when the reporters were grilling Wade and LBJ about "celebrating" in front of Dallas' bench after Wade hit the shot to put Mia up 15..

Wade got defensive at first, then another reporter contradicted everything LBJ and Wade said, using quotes from Mavs players.. It was great.

The Mavs made an amazing comeback to put themselves right back in the mix. Coming to Dallas for three should bode well for Dallas. I still say the Heat in 5 or 6. The Hollywood factor is just too strong to overcome. Again...I hope against hope that Dallas comes home and sweeps aside the "Carpetbaggers". I just don't see it happening.

lol, that was pretty funny. That reporter had some balls.

They handled it pretty well actually. LeBron didn't call the reporter's question "retarded" under his breath this time.

Now if it came out that Lebron disregarded coaches game plan and tells Bosh he was guarding Dirk in that situation, all we would hear about is Lebron's disrespect for authority and his huge ego.

Yet when Lebron walked off the court against the Magic, he was ridiculously criticized for it.

I disagree. But I wouldn't be surprised nowadays.
