[KingSpeed]

Because it should never happen.

You mean "called for" five fouls?

 

[PapaG]

Paul George is shooting like he did in the 4th quarter of the game in Portland this season.

 

[PapaG]

Somebody tell Rashard Lewis that it's not 2005!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

It's off George. Heat ball.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Man Indiana really wants Miami to win... Bricking FTs left and right!

Yeah he lost that game too.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Wow. Bosh is your go to play?!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Indiana is gonna get rolled in game 6. Indiana barely won and LeBron barely played.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Wow. Bosh is your go to play?!

Wasn't it determined that bosh is actually the most clutch Miami player based on stats?

I have no idea; I just know he'd bricked a couple of those. LeBron at 2-10 was too cowardly to try and take it to OT.

 

[PapaG]

Stephenson is a jackass.

Pinching/flopping and now blowing in the ear.

[bodyman5000 and 1]

That tonight^^^^??????

Lebron goes for 55 plus.

 

[Strenuus]

Anyone surprised it's going 6? It'll probably go 7. They gotta fool the fans into thinking the East is actually good.

 

[B-Roy]

Pretty fun game. PG went nutzo in the 4th. Heat fans are REALLY REALLY annoying in person.

I love this shit. If you are playing against a player like Lebron, and know he is light years better than any other player in the league, you have to try and get in his head.

Dude I fell asleep at halftime

Eh, without the refs, the Heat win the series in 5 games. Clearly the goal last night was to get to a Game 6, because James was getting some BS fouls called on him. It's easy to talk shit when the refs are doing the job for you.

First half was boring granted, but it was worth it to see Pg go crazy in the 4th.

What was the excuse when the Heat shot twice as many FT's in game 4?

The Pacers have shot 21 more free throws in this series despite Miami being the more aggressive team.

The poor keep getting poorer. Lol.

I don't get the beef with Vinnie.

He coached a terrible Bulls team to a 41-41 record, and he had big time winning records with the Clips. He's had what, one?, losing season.

I realize he may not have gotten along with Chris Paul, but that doesn't make him a bad coach.

I agree. Like Stotts, I'm not sure he's a championship caliber coach, but he's not a bad coach

 

[jlprk]

Some younger types think Vinnie's a clown because of his last name. In the 60s, the word Negro was very dignified. It was a big adjustment in the South to stop the common use of the other N-word.

...same, I think it is hilarious as long as he is not causing brawls like Ron Artest, this is great!

the only foul on LBJ last night that was questionable was when George hill drove on the break and LBJ picked up a foul. The others were all legit fouls. A foul is a foul no matter who the player is. Superstar or not it should be called.

bill simmons needs to stfu.
