Heat vs Pacers! The official ECF series thread!

So ridiculous. Want to play a fun game? Figure who was first and who was worst. I second guessed myself many times and then I couldnt stop watching it :

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Flopping is killing the NBA.

West at least looks like he got hit (in the face) but not to the degree he reacted. LeBron however, just flopped. He'd make Floppy Divacs proud.

 

[Boise Blazer]

I thought this was interesting:

RealGM ‏@RealGM 21s
RT @tomhaberstroh: FWIW, LeBron James' $5,000 fine was equivalent to the average American ($43K/yr) getting hit with a $12 fine.

Where does Craig Sager shop for those ugly ass duds?

The Goodwill in the Cincinnati neighborhood where Herb Tarlek lives.

LeBron "wins" on both counts. He flopped first and at least West managed to remain on his feet.

That was pure Dwayne Wade, complete with the forearm aimed at his opponent's throat while he's doing the flop. Lebron has been taking lessons.

Clearly, Lebron's was first. Lebron's was also worst, since West was reacting to actual contact.

 

[illmatic99]

Thoroughly impressed with Indy. wow

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Is it just me or is Wade more or less a liability at this point?

 

[illmatic99]

Wade looks like he's done

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Ray Allen obviously trying to make Wade feel better about himself.

For those who missed the Birdman bullshit if you will:

It will be interesting to see how the league responds. Especially after the Nazr Mohammed shove on LBJ earlier in the playoffs where he was ejected.

 

[BBert]

Fuck I hate the Heat.

More than the Lakers at this point.

I saw on the tele that the media was all up in Lebron's jock raving about how he chewed out his teammates and fired them up before the third quarter. Such great leadership. That resulted in nothing from his teammates, except for Haslem getting hot on open jumpers. Wade and Bosh responded with like 1 point between them. LOL

Fuck I hate the Heat.

 

[speeds]

Psycho T needs to take some flopping lessons from LBJ.

 

[BBert]

Oh, yeah, Birdshit should miss a game for that crap. How he didn't get ejected is a mystery and a travesty.

Almost as much of a travesty as the bullshit call that stopped the Pacers' momentum and sent the Meat on the game-clinching run, when LeBitch dropped the ball off his own leg and the ref, three feet away, ruled it off of the Pacers. Game over.

 

[BBert]

Real men don't flop. Lebron is a pussy. He should be embarrassed from some of the egregious flops he's pulled off the last couple of years. But he's not. No pride and no shame. Just a bitch.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Birdman gets his wings clipped by NBA. Is out for game 6

 

[PapaG]

Wade is about done, Bosh is a space case, and LeBron seems to be having to redo his role in Cleveland.

Makes you wonder if Miami's run is about over as they are structured.

 

[BBert]

Go Spurs.

I never thought I'd say that.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I can honestly see Lebron opting out next year and returning home to Cleveland. That has the makings of an amazing team.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I never thought I'd say that.

Really? I've never found it hard to root for the Spurs.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Me too. It's looking like Kyrie Irving is the better option for Lebron to win future titles.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Me too. It's looking like Kyrie Irving is the better option for Lebron to win future titles.

And the Cavs don't need to hit a home run with this year's pick. A solid 3rd option and that team is set.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

And the Cavs don't need to hit a home run with this year's pick. A solid 3rd option and that team is set.

Add in the soup juggler as the 6th man, and role players in tyler zeller and tristan thompson.....lots of potential.

Chris Andersen has been suspended one game for his physical altercation with Tyler Hansbrough in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals between the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers, the NBA announced on Friday.

Andersen will miss Game 6 on Saturday.

The incident -- in which Andersen shoved Hansbrough and escalated the altercation -- also was upgraded to a flagrant foul two.

Hansbrough was given a technical foul on the play but had it rescinded on Friday.

Andersen has established himself as a vital part of the Heat's bench.

Talk about being 2 hours late.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I noticed that as well.

"I had to go back to my Cleveland days"

D-Wade is in decline and he's pretty much LeBron's Mo Williams at this point.

It also makes me think CLE will try to put together a very appealing roster by the time LeBron becomes an UFA.

How hard to they go after LaMarcus?

Not very. Kyrie and Lebron would be obvious max players. Their new pick has max contract potential. And you think the Soup Juggler is a max contract player so I don't see how they could afford to have LMA on the team.

 

[PapaG]

Bosh and Wade are a combined 1-10 so far in the first half.

So much for the "Big Three".
