Fail on my part. I got up to watch First Take, then saw the French Open on and was bummed. Then you mentioned this and I went in and turned it on ESPNews, the f*cking channel is out of service right now. *shakes fist at Charter*

[It's A VC3!!!]

They are obviously right for blaming him. Wade has shown up for half of a game this entire series. He had one great game but he can't miss 6-7 shots in one half and totally suck ass and decide to make it up the next half. If the Heat don't reach the Finals I really don't see Wade being a Heat any longer. If they lose in the Finals he won't be a Heat so not reaching the Finals would be a travesty for the Heat.

[Nick Young]

has anyone mentioned Lebron 4-16 in the second half or Lebron not scoring a single point in the last 8 minutes?

[T-Time3]

can somebody give streaming link other than firstrow ?
that mofo site is racist, blocking asian countries.

i tried stream2watch,tried vipbox they don't have espnews
all they got is espn,espn2,espn3,espn america

or can somebody please upload it to youtube ?

[Bladers]

Someone has to upload the first five mins.

Skip looked like he was about to flip the tables.
Smith had veins popping out his skull. Dude was visibly disturbed. :roll:

[dbugz]

I'm more excited to see this than the OKC-SAS Game 6 :oldlol:

[Nick Young]

Does ESPN force them to suck Lebron off, like are their family and loved ones held at gunpoint ensuring they do everything they can to protect Lebron?

Or are they just angry because they keep looking stupid when Lebron's failure leads to them looking dumb for predicting heat to win and voting in Lebron as MVP AGAIN and repeatedly saying Lebron will win it this year:confusedshrug:

What is their motivation for having personal investment in protecting Lechoke's golden boy image?

Skip has already given up on LeBron and has repetitively said that the Heat will go as far as Wade takes them. So it's logical that he would blame Wade for not closing the Celtics. LeBron is a lost cause and irrelevant at this point.

Stephen A Smith saying that Miami should trade Wade and Bosh for Kobe and Gasol.

Huh? I still don't understand this end-of-the-world mentality surrounding Miami right now. It's one thing if they had lost at full strength, but people do realize that Miami was missing their 3rd best player and only competent big man, right? Does ANYONE think they're losing this series had Bosh been healthy?

I also don't understand why a team composed of two of the best players(one is the current MVP) in the NBA and a decent supporting cast is losing to a half-injured old Celtics team.

Can you explain it to us genius?

Bosh didn't play in the 2 games that they won.

The real problem with the Heat is that the refs are not giving them every call, and are reffing the games fair.

[f0und]

wade deserves a bit of criticism for not showing up in the first half, but remember, its wade that boston has decided to make a concerted effort to stop, not lebron.

Did you know Bulls is missing Rose? Knicks missing Shumper, Lin, Davis and STAT half injured? Kobe playing half injured? Celtics having Allen, Pierce, KG half injured and Bradley out?

Stop acting like Miami is the only team playing hurt.

I don't really see how it would be such a given that Bosh would've gotten them the win. You can point to last year, but then give the same logic that Rondo was playing hurt after game 3. The main thing that holds this team back is how mentally weak they are. I don't think Bosh changes that.

[Phong]

Heat fans were celebrating like mother****ers when Rose and Knicks' players got injured, but now they are crying like bitches now that Bosh is injured. :facepalm

[Indian guy]

Wade's been anything but great in this series and has been up and down all season. If it was last year's Wade, then you'd have a point, but he's prone to being very inconsistent, making Bosh's absence that much more glaring.


in the NBA and a decent supporting cast

It's a decent supporting cast when supporting 3 stars, not 2. They can't really make-up for Bosh's absence. Miami plays Battier at PF for crying out loud.


is losing to a half-injured old Celtics team.

It's the same team that went to the Finals a couple of years ago and gave the eventual champs everything they could handle. Ray Allen maybe injured and PP a little banged up(looks fine though), but Rondo's improvement and KG's resurgence more than makes up for it. This is still a damn good team. I never expected Miami to beat Boston without significant contributions from Bosh.

[The Choken One]

If the Heat lose this series it's on Wade.

LeBron has been playing his ass off. Only LeBron haters will try and pin this on him. Ok...so he struggled for a period last night... is there a reason people on this forum expect him to play perfectly every game for 48 minutes?

It's ridiculous the criticism this guy guys...

This loss would be 50% on Wade and 50% on Spoelstra(sp?).

[Indian guy]

I don't really see how it would be such a given that Bosh would've gotten them the win.

Oh come on. 2 of the 5 games of this series have gone to OT, you don't think an 18/8 All Star could've made a difference?


The main thing that holds this team back is how mentally weak they are.

Really? I think it's the fact that they're left with the worst front line rotation in the NBA with Bosh out.

Heat hate has officially reached an all-time low when people start acting like missing your 3rd best player is no big deal.

[Phong]

LeBron has been playing his ass off. Only LeBron haters will try and pin this on him. Ok...so he struggled for a period last night... He didn't struggle in the 4th last night. After the 8-minute mark he just didn't try at all. He deferred to Wade and stood in a corner until that gimme layup with 13 sec left in the game.

I didn't say it wasn't a big deal. All I said is that its hardly a given that they'd be winning. Celtics are a mentally tougher team then Miami and its mentally tougher teams that usually win in a playoff series.

[dbugz]

Wade's been anything but great in this series and has been up and down all season. If it was last year's Wade, then you'd have a point, but he's prone to being very inconsistent, making Bosh's absence that much more glaring.


Wade's playoffs performance last year just dropped only 1% both on his PPG and FG% compare to his performance this playoffs.

Who are you kidding?



It's a decent supporting cast when supporting 3 stars, not 2. They can't really make-up for Bosh's absence. Miami plays Battier at PF for crying out loud.


Look at our bench, except from Pietrus. We have scrubs like Hollins and Dooling, a D-Leaguer in Stiesma and a low basketball IQ Daniels, two worthless rookies and a bench warmer Pavlovic.

Stop acting like you guys have the worst bench in this league.

LOL.

Celtics bench that time is way way better compared to what we have now. We also still have Perkins that time :oldlol:

Pierce and Ray looks fine? Look how terrible their FG% are and come back here.

[Indian guy]

Wade's playoffs performance last year just dropped 1% both on his PPG and FG% compare to his performance this playoffs.

Who are you kidding?

He's down 1.2 ppg and his TS% is down nearly 40 points! How's that not a big deal? His FT% has collapsed by nearly 10%. His rebounding has gone from 7.1 to 4.8. His PER has dropped 3.4 points. The guy is a significantly worse player in every way. Yet to show up in the 1st half of this series.


Look at our bench, except from Pietrus. We have scrubs like Hollins and Dooling, a D-Leaguer in Stiesma and a low basketball IQ Daniels, two worthless rookies and a bench warmer Pavlovic.

But you still have your core of Rondo/KG/PP/Ray. Miami doesn't, that's the point. How do you think Boston would fare in this series without Pierce?



Pierce and Ray looks fine? Look how terrible their FG% are and come back here.

I meant PP looks fine. Ray's definitely hurt and you are right, Boston doesn't have the bench they did in 2010, but I do believe the major improvement in Rondo and KG's play comes pretty close to making up for it.

[BlackVVaves]

Posters saying "a healthy Heat" this and "a healthy Heat" that need to wake the **** up and stop making excuses. The Celtics missing their best perimeter defender, and playing with a banged up roster. And countless, countless teams played without main components on their team.

Please stop with the bullshit.

[Meticode]

has anyone mentioned Lebron 4-16 in the second half or Lebron not scoring a single point in the last 8 minutes?
Actually he scored that layup with 9.5 seconds left to make it a 2 point game, then Garnett made two freethrows to make it 4 points again, then Wade missed the three at the end.

[305Baller]

the media is finally catching up.

LeBron was 4-16 the second half. He made a 1 layup in the last 8 minutes of the game. People don't expect him to play perfect for 48 minutes, they expect him to play great when it really matters. And when it really matters isn't the first half of the game when it's crunch time, it's the last quarter when the score is close.

30/2/13/2 at 11/25 FG% isnt great but still a solid good performance.

LBJ is making up for Bosh's absense in the interior getting rebounds. Thats a huge assignment for LBJ against Garnett who is 7'1"

LBJ did great & even pulled down 3 offensive rebounds.

all you can do is try very hard to blame LBJ but

Wade has to stop playing "Hero" ball aka "kobe ball" in crunch so that LBJ can get cruicial 2-3 more assists.

Wade is the real reason why Heat lost Game 4 & Game 5 not LBJ.

Hell, LBJ even sent Game 4 into OT by clutch 3 pointer.

Give LBJ much due credit.

Pure hate should only be reserved to sexual assault charged player at the colorado hotel room.

don't forget how poorly Boston played during the season (39-27) and how they are now in the ecf. crazy.

[Indian guy]

they expect him to play great when it really matters. And when it really matters isn't the first half of the game when it's crunch time, it's the last quarter when the score is close.

This is such garbage. Every stretch of the game counts the same. Had LeBron gone 4-16 in the first half, it would've hurt Miami just as much, if not more so, since they would've been going into the 2nd half with a humungous deficit. There's no such thing as 1 quarter being more important than the other. Any qtr you suck in will hurt your team the same.

Also, LeBron's quiet 8-minute stretch after bringing his team back in the 4th was more by design than anything. Wade was hot and Miami totally rode him. It would've been a different story if nobody had it going and LeBron was still in defer-mode. But Miami had no trouble scoring in the 4th. They lost the game on defense & rebounding.

[Indian guy]

don't forget how poorly Boston played during the season (39-27) and how they are now in the ecf. crazy.

Dude, they had a win % of a 48 win team this season. In 2010, they won 50 games. Boston's done this before. Given their age and propensity to only get up for big opponents, it shouldn't be a surprise when they turn it up in the playoffs.

[OhNoTimNoSho]

I like how people are acting like KG PP and Ray are in their prime. Pierce is old, KG is really old, and Ray is a shell. Yet they have HEART

[Chrono90]

For those who is saying heats is losing cause bosh is hurt....

did you ever check the name bradley on the celtics????

[guy]

Some of the reaction here is eerily similar to 2010 Cavs vs. Celtics. Everyone thought the Cavs were heavy favorites and were going to win in 4-5 games, and once the Celtics dominated them it was all the supporting casts' fault. Same thing here.

[Indian guy]

That's just lebron being lebron. We know that long time ago. At least he showed up for 4 mins during the 4th quarter, he improved.

[jrong]

They are obviously right for blaming him. Wade has shown up for half of a game this entire series. He had one great game but he can't miss 6-7 shots in one half and totally suck ass and decide to make it up the next half. If the Heat don't reach the Finals I really don't see Wade being a Heat any longer. If they lose in the Finals he won't be a Heat so not reaching the Finals would be a travesty for the Heat.

Because LeBron hasn't sucked in the second half, right? Check what his shooting was in the second half in order to get under 50% the last two games. He was 4/16 to finish the game last night.

Are you really that upset you missed a professional troll argue an overly confident (with no reason) basketball analyst? You have better discussions going on here at ISH daily.

[guy]

Whose fault is it then? I think LeBron's doing everything he's capable of doing.

Statistically and defensively he's been great. But in crucial moments he hasn't been that great times, specifically the last half of the 4th quarter last game. His body language isn't great looking dejected and stressed out as if he knows he's going to lose which isn't a great sign of leadership. It's not even close to how he was when he lost the last 2 years, but it's still not good.

[Indian guy]

But in crucial moments he hasn't been that great times

I don't see what more he can do. He's shooting and missing. Just like he does the first 3 qtrs. The guy's a below average shooter. Either you come to the realization that he's not that good, or you demand him to do things he's not capable of doing.

Overall, I think he's producing enough during the course of the game to not be blamed for the series. Would it be better if he took over games late? Sure. Can he actually do it? No. Just like he never takes over games from qtr 1-3.


His body language isn't great looking dejected and stressed out as if he knows he's going to lose which isn't a great sign of leadership.

Huh? I watch LeBron closely and I see no difference in body language. This is something people just make-up to reinforce their bogus agenda.
