Game Thread: Miami Heat vs Charlotte Bobcats Series Thread

[Paolo305613]

Per Ira Winderman, the Heat do the same silly inside-out warm up shirts thing pre-game - Bobcats dont do nothing, as expected and rightfully so

 

[Paolo305613]

As usual, early heat settling and starting slow

LBJ currently playing with the NBA logo of his headband backward - I guess thats another sign of “solidarity” also? LMAO come on

Once the Heat stop the 3pt attempts and settling - they will break this game open like they are capable

Heat down 2 giving the Bobcats momentum into the half after LBJ plays hero ball with the ball and does nothing good with it as usual in that situation running down the clock…. Hopefully this doesnt come down to a final shot by LBJ he will either settle or run the clock out and do nothing with it or turn it over

Lebron backing out on the defensive sequence… so typical… disengaged in this game so far… Typical of the heat to do when they have a chance to close out a lesser team

 

[Paolo305613]

LBJ getting kneed on the knee being a little dramatic but he is ok as always

Hawks kicking the Pacers ass

LBJ pointing at scrub battier after that charge - letting him know thats how you take a charge instead of flopping as scrub does

 

[Paolo305613]

Even as the Heat win this one, even if it is by 10+ pts, they still have yet to play their best basketball… that can be both good and bad

 

[Paolo305613]

The trick now for the Heat is for them not to get lazy and lose their edge with the rest they are going to get before the next series against a still unknown opponent… if they can solve the trick, it will be a sign they are maturing enough to win a third straight title.

"Heat got a much-needed first-round bye, thanks to Al Jefferson's plantar fascia." - Skip

Skip is an idiot

Game 4 Final: HEAT 109 - Bobcats 98. James 31pts 9asts 7rebs, Bosh 17pts 8rebs, Wade 15pts, Cole 13pts, Chalmers 10pts 5asts.

Key stat: ZERO minutes for scrub battier

Interesting what is being said on CNN on the situation with players - It will be difficult for players on the Clippers to get out of their contracts if they choose given some of the language and the power of still owner the racist bigot..

I am hoping the NBA can make an immediate change to the CBA , if necessary or do whatever to fix the language on things in such a way that it will make it easier for guys to get out of their contracts on that team… Still, I hope he is forced to sell the team - the unfortunate part of that is he will get richer

Riles finishes 4th in executice of the year honors… Heat staff continues to get no credit for the success of the team… real shame

Lebron James on MVP “ I played well enough to win it”…

Looks like he is throwing his team under the bus here…He claims he did his part in being deserving the award but his team didnt help him… hmm… very typical of a self-centered diva
