Vogel looks like he either already cried his eyes out or is about to.

Frank Vogel: "We're competing against the Michael Jordan of our era, the Chicago Bulls of our era."

You do have to give Lance props for staying on the court after the game and shaking guys hands - Big-headed players like himself dont usually do that.

Spolestra on Stephenson's tactics vs Lebron : "Our team is playing for something so much bigger than that guy" ouch !

Battier says Oden & Douglas said to him, tonight, "who is this team?"... Battier’s response: "hey, we're not bad when we play hard.

Probably the smartest thing scrub battier has ever said - This team is lethal when they play hard

The Heat looked unbeatable tonight. They had the Pacers reduced to thug ball-slapping LBJ in the face-just bush league krap. Congrats on the return to the finals. We shall see who they'll face in the finals.

 

[Paolo305613]

Paul George, asked if he wants Lance on his side next year: "I mean, I don't know.

25 and 13 for LBJ and Wade - They have yet to play their best game

 

[Paolo305613]

12th consecutive close out game for the Heat - NBA record and first team in 27 years to four straight finals

Has Chris Andersen been the Miami Heat's engine this postseason? - Sun Sentinel

 

[Paolo305613]

12-3 record this postseason, 8-0 at home

 

[Retroram52]

Yep, those are some pretty stout statistics and Chris Anderson has really played well as a non-starter. Got love the grit. Pat Riley has put together quite a team and Spoelstra is on the same page.

 

[Paolo305613]

Of Note: Birdman is the first ever D-League call up to ever reach the NBA finals, doing it for the second time .

 

[Retroram52]

Yea Paolo, if more teams would fully understand and correctly utilize D-League players, there would be more of them of the stature of Birdman. Congrats to Mr. Birdman! He has earned his accolades. Period.
