June 8, 201214 yr And I am not coming in trying to be anti-LeBron or diminish his performance, it is more of an indictment of the Heat in general. They have been terrible in the half-court all season. The recipe has always been to get back on defense and make them beat you making jumpers. Well they (LeBron) did just that. The rest of the Heat were just kind of out there. Not sure you can say anyone outside of James did anything above average. I agree 100%. Not a knock on Lebron at all. He was incredible but I have seen that back fire in the past. I wouldn't count on him hitting jumper after jumper in game 7.

Not a shock but the game was not very entertaining outside of watching James work his magic. Sucks the next game will be on Saturday night.
June 8, 201214 yr ESPN Stats & Info @ESPNStatsInfo ELIAS: Celtics will be looking for their first road win in a Game 7 since 1974 I guess you would say they are due.
June 8, 201214 yr LeBron James: 45 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists. Boston's Big Three: 31 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists. Lebron disapears in big games. :lol:
June 8, 201214 yr James going off last night was what Miami needed because it gave them a great oppurtunity to get Bosh back up to speed and everyone acclomated to playing with him again. Had it been a close game throughout it would have likely been a different story. Lebron carrying the load as he did allowed Bosh to get good minutes and have the chance to get back into the groove of things being he wasn't called upon to do much, but still was able to roam and get a feel for things.
June 8, 201214 yr The only groove Bosh got in was standing around watching Lebron drain jumpers and steal all the rebounds. :lol:
June 8, 201214 yr The LeBron James I saw last night is the one whose game I fell in love with in Cleveland. When he decides to just absolutely take over a game, I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like it. I understand why people get so frustrated with him. All we want as fans is to see him take over on a nightly basis because we know he is capable, and it is damn fun to watch. Congrats to the Miami Fighting LBJ's last night. I'm looking forward to an AWESOME game 7 that I fully expect the Heat to win. It's really fun watching a series and being fine with whichever team wins. Even though I'm way more of a Celtics fan than a Heat fan, I do want to see LeBron get his championship. Although, I'll have a hard time rooting against the Thunder in the Finals because I love KD's game also. The two best players in the world playing against each other in a 7 game series for everything? Talk about fun... On another note, here's an article about James' performance last night. Pretty good read.
June 10, 201214 yr Oh my gosh, I am so nervous right now! Let's go Rondo!!!!! :clap::lol: He has to play well for them to win. Am I the only one or has anyone else out there lost respect for DWeazie (Dwayne Wade) this series. No doubt about it now, this is LBJ's team and you have to see that even if you do live in Miami.
June 10, 201214 yr Half time game 7. Rondo gets knocked into the camera crew after a blocked layup from james, no foul ? The tv people say it wasn't a foul because the shot was blocked and James momentum caused the contact. What about the 3 point shooters that get fouls called because their defenders jump into them, what's the difference ? Near the end of the first half , Lebron dunlks and showboats by hanging on the rim for a long time. Nobody on or near the floor to be concerned about . That's a technical foul that wasn't called. Kevin Garnett has three fouls, ticky tacky to say the least. Compared to the James/Rondo foul, they don't even compare.

Rondo fell into the camera man. Simple as that. I thought Lebron pushed him at first but when they showed the replay in slow motion it was easy to see that he barely touched him and the movement from his arm made it look like he pushed him. Optical illusion. The dunk. It wasn't a T because the player has to be allowed to land safely after dunking. Rondo purposely took his area to land and then Rondo grabbed his leg while he was still trying land safely. Should have been Rondo's second T. My next post will have the video if I can upload it from my phone. KG is the worst screen setter in the history of the NBA but it's strange that he has been able to get away with it his whole career and now it is a foul. The calls are definitely consistent with how the refs have been bad and unpredictable.
June 10, 201214 yr It won't let me upload from my phone. Hammertime saw my video. Maybe he saw what I am talking about.
June 10, 201214 yr Still nervous. This whole series comes down to 1 quarter. 2 more rebounds for Rajon and I'll be loving me another triple double, no big deal.
