:roll:

[EnoughSaid]

The Heat have been very lazy against bad teams this year. I fully expect it to be different tonight. They should just come in and take these ****ers out quick. Wade going for 30?! LeBron for 30-5-5?

[Derka]

Go Cavs. Wanna hear about Kyrie and Varejao having a balls-out night.

[Jotaro Durant]

this should be a good one ive been watchin cavs games recently still

they pretty good:cheers:

[Askmeificare]

[Faptastrophe]

Go Cavs. Wanna hear about Kyrie and Varejao having a balls-out night.
Want a side wager?
I'll take Irving under 24.

That's strange.


Irving looking older than Bron :oldlol:

[mlh1981]

I'm able to watch them against Florida teams, but that's been about it this year. Mostly been box scores for this guy. :(

"Duh"

[Derka]

Want a side wager?
I'll take Irving under 24.

Doable depends on who is guarding him and how Miami responds to the pick and roll. Miami's perimeter D is pretty scary, too...

I'd actually go under your number. I'll say 21, but Kyrie double-doubles in points/assists.

[Ruutu]

Hope its gonna be a good game!

[drizzy0503]

Wanna see Bron go for 50:rockon:

[Theoo]

LETS GET THESE GAME ON THE ROADD!!! lebron gone to dunk it all over old cavalier team

[O_City_Thunder]

Finally get to see this Kyrie Irving kid play. :applause:

[che guevara]

Oh, how I've missed Mcleoud and AC, soooooo much better than the Eric Reed and Tony (can't remember last name).

You can already tell they HATE Lebron though.

[chips93]

[ChandlerParsons]

[donald_trump]

great work from cleveland out of the timeout.

[ChandlerParsons]

[pauk]

sick AND1

[TaLvsCuaL]

Varejao this season deserves some credit.

[pauk]

that last one should have been AND1 to

[donald_trump]

should have been another and 1 for lebron there. crazy two layups in a row.

[StateOfMind12]

Unless the Heat lose this game, I think it's pretty obvious that LeBron is the MVP.

[DRose1899]

OMG I don't know cavs have that many injuries :facepalm

[ChandlerParsons]

Unless the Heat lose this game, I think it's pretty obvious that LeBron is the MVP.
The Heat have to have the best record in the NBA doe, I think?

[madmax]

I wonder how many times Lebron gets hit while driving to the hoop and nothing is called...If this was Kobrick, his tards would be screaming murder and creating threads to cry about it. For Lebron, he just shakes off and carries on:lol

[Black Joker]

Great start for LBJ, Cavs definitely still in it though which is nice considering

[ChandlerParsons]

dang miller

[donald_trump]

would have been dunk of the year if eyenga got that down.

[Askmeificare]

if is not Chalmers is Cole rarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Ruutu]

Cole is fast...

[DRose1899]

Obvious kick by wade :facepalm

[Askmeificare]

i'm liking this game

[donald_trump]

apart from the fact it came off his hand...

[jbryan1984]

Christian SKYenga looking to get in the thick of things. Give him PT coach!

[Ruutu]

Game is good right now and Spo is furious...no plays just run and shoot!

[dude77]

they need to burn those jerseys .. yesterday .. and don't look back :facepalm

[ChandlerParsons]

nice drive Bron

[DuMa]

both teams dont give a shit about defense. trying to not get injured

[donald_trump]

wades gotta love playing on this team. theyre so good defensively on the perimeter that he leaks more than any player ive seen in these last two seasons.

[detroitdogg]

wades gotta love playing on this team. theyre so good defensively on the perimeter that he leaks more than any player ive seen in these last two seasons.
Wade is a very good on ball defender, but he might be the GOAT help defending guard in the history of the game. It was mentioned by Spo before, but him and Riley uses Wade as one of their primary help defenders at the basket. This is unheard of for a guard, and as it is, he probally blocks 60-70% of the shots he challenges at the basket, not to mention forcing misses. This team right now is rediculous fast, therefore Wade can just take off every time a miss comes off the rim.

[Black Joker]

loving Gee right now

[Jotaro Durant]

jamison has 21 points:roll: :roll:

[madmax]

Wade can't finish anymore...:facepalm

[Derka]

Surprised its this close. How's Kyrie/Varejao doing?

[DuMa]

eyenga took a wwe spill oh my

[Derka]

What the...did I hear that right? 20 points for Jamison in the first half?

[ThatsGame]

Well known fact that scrubs go Jordan on the Heat

[ChandlerParsons]

Well known fact that scrubs go Jordan on the Heat
Jamison isn't a scrub
:facepalm

[detroitdogg]

Jamison isn't a scrub
:facepalm
Not a scrub, but one of the all time worse very good players in NBA history. On top of that, his game is one of the ugliest I have ever seen. I cant stand that dude.

[sixer6ad]

The games between these teams are normally slow and dull. I honestly don't think the Heat take these games seriously. They don't need to.

The saddest part of this whole Decision, or whatever the hell is going on is DWade. This guy used to be electric, and even though I'm a Cavs fan I really enjoyed him. He's just so different now. He's slower, can't go hard for very long, but worst of all has turned into the biggest bitcher to officials. It's unreal. He never misses and says "my bad"; it's ALWAYS a glance at an official and then a word. Watch him. It's not once in a while; it's every time.

I obviously root against the Heat, but there is a part of me that is sad watching DWade play. He's done in terms of being a consistent, exciting, difference making player. He's just kind of there but good enough to do damage.

At times in Washington and Golden State, this dude was amazing. He's certainly not now, but this guy has had some serious game for a long time in this league.

[pauk]

Damn Wade

[Doranku]

Wow, Miami has a BRUTAL stretch coming up.

6 games in 8 nights, b2b2b @Atlanta/@Milwaukee/@Indiana.

[DuMa]

heat so many careless turnovers in the 3rd

[Indian guy]

LeBron's turning the ball over like never before this season. The most careless passer in the league.

What the hell does "The Decision" have to do with Wade and his supposed declining athleticism?

[Jotaro Durant]

haslem shootinf fts????????

:lol

[DRose1899]

Harangody is just horrible :facepalm

[madmax]

oh look who's back here...

[donald_trump]

wades been hit a lot this game. surprised hes not getting the calls.

[ThatsGame]

Why would they send UD to shoot the technical. I knew it before he even shot that he would miss...

[RRR3]

I'm not getting to watch the game today. Can some one tell me how my boy chalmers is doing? :D

[Doranku]

Hollins and Harangody on the floor. :facepalm Expect the Heat lead to balloon by the end of the quarter.

[donald_trump]

lol at lebron

'he got the steal!'

[Askmeificare]

LeBron just finish that like a boss

[ChandlerParsons]

Damn Bron

[EnoughSaid]

LeBron JAMES!!!! :bowdown:

[TonyD]

Glad Cs got rid of Harongody, can't finish around the basket for shit.

[pauk]

Have to hit some of those open shots man :facepalm

[DRose1899]

wtf is that kyrie

[donald_trump]

why call the carry if its not gonna impact the play?

[Askmeificare]

hmm is it a rebound if the the ball was an air ball

[ChandlerParsons]

I'm not getting to watch the game today. Can some one tell me how my boy chalmers is doing? :D
14 points, 4 assists :applause:

[donald_trump]

wade gets hit again and no foul. been hacked a lot tonight.

[RRR3]

14 points, 4 assists :applause:
:bowdown: He's become so much better:applause:

[ThatsGame]

I think after that whole thing with Stern and Wade during the lockout, Stern decided to tell the refs not to give Wade anymore fouls.

[ChandlerParsons]

:bowdown: He's become so much better:applause:
He really has, I hope he doesn't lose his starting job to the current Cole. Cause he's the golden boy.

[RRR3]

Do you do nothing but whine about refs?:facepalm

[PJR]

Lol this honestly seems like the case...

[DuMa]

Wade and James throws the most careless passes this game.

[RRR3]

Spo would be a dumbass then. Cole is horrible.

[ThatsGame]

Do you do nothing but whine about refs?:facepalm

I watch the game and comment. If you have a problem, put me on ignore, cuz I don't want to hear it.

[Ruutu]

Bosh dunk was good!

[Brickz187]

That Bosh dunk was pretty nice. I thought he was going to do the hook shot lol

[Heavincent]

I think after that whole thing with Stern and Wade during the lockout, Stern decided to tell the refs not to give Wade anymore fouls.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

[Doranku]

I'm not sure if there's a worse player in the league than Luke Harangody.

[RRR3]

I watch the game and comment. If you have a problem, put me on ignore, cuz I don't want to hear it.

[pauk]

[donald_trump]

utterly ridiculous

Lebron @ PG = Money

[ChandlerParsons]

[nba_55]

Haslem is back with his jumper!

Gotta love that line-up to end games.:applause:

[donald_trump]

dwyane wade with a player of the game performance. seems like hes finally getting his season back on track.

[DRose1899]

Why the **** miller hit that 3s :banghead:

I want it all the time! :D Lebron would be a 26-8-10 guy.... its more unique being a 6'8 PG than a 6'8 SF

[Brickz187]

I want it all the time! :D Lebron would be a 26-8-10 guy.... its more unique being a 6'8 PG than a 6'8 SF

Only problem is Lebron would need to stop with the lazy ball handling that he and Wade both tend to have every few games. Can't be doing that while running point.

[Lebron23]

I want it all the time! :D Lebron would be a 26-8-10 guy.... its more unique being a 6'8 PG than a 6'8 SF

Tallest PG in NBA History. Magic Johnson is 6'7 1/2".

Holy Overrreaction, Batman. He's been averaging 24.5 since his return with four of his last five games above 50% shooting. He's beginning to produce first option numbers on second option touches which is exactly what we want.

Separated from LeBron, this very well may still be the second best player in the world, with an option on first in the playoffs.

[Meticode]

Go Cavs!

[SIRI1]

Yup. He's rounding back into form nicely.

[gilalizard]

I think after that whole thing with Stern and Wade during the lockout, Stern decided to tell the refs not to give Wade anymore fouls.

dwhistle and bron have made some tremendously blatant flops since teaming up. We're not even talking about "selling contact". They're just making shit up sometimes. Or crying like spoiled 6-year-olds if a phantom foul isn't called for them if they blow a shot.

I'm guessing officials review games afterwards. They see these two douches flopping when they're not even being touched, or demanding bail-out calls when they were obviously not even touched, and the refs will be less likely to give them the benefit of the doubt in the future.
