how can Miami win it all if they cannot even beat the Jazz?

[selrahc]

Tell me please. How is this team of overrated individuals is going to win it all if they lose to the Utah Jazz. With 45 sec remaining LeBron James chokes and throws the ball away to the other team. Then they proceed to lose the game. It seems as if LeBron has reverted back to his previous state of choking in the 4th quarter. Wade 11 points, Bosh 1 rebound? WTF?

[Cangri]

Lebron didn't choke, gtfo

[Dave3]

Throw the ball away to the other team? Bosh is on his team, you know that right? If the ball goes through a players hands (about head level from 25 feet away) it's clearly the catcher's fault.

Ahh trolls...

if that was a choke tonight then what has kobe been doing all season?

[Derka]

:oldlol: This oughta go well.

[DMV2]

Lakers are 0-2 vs the Jazz.

[Mr. Jabbar]

If they can bench lebron through the whole 4th quarters they stil have a chance of getting to the finals.

[PyrrhusX]

If OKC make it, Miami will probebly win again unless we trade Perk.

[FKAri]

They won't be seeing the Jazz in the playoffs. That's how.

[fpliii]

The. Playoffs. Are. All. About. Matchups.

Miami won't face any teams with bruising frontcourts in the East (Indiana was the closest thing the conference had to offer last season), so this isn't a problem they'll have to deal with unless Memphis or LA (possibly SA as well) comes out of the West.

[PJR]

How can the 96 Bulls win it all when they can't even beat the Clippers?????

Which LA?

[fpliii]

The Chicago Bulls.


This. Noah and Boozer frontcourt :rockon:

They're another potential foil, if you get this current Boozer. There's a lot of finesse in Noah's game though, so I don't know how bruising they'll be in a 7 game series. I can definitely see it though.

[PJR]

The Chicago Bulls.


Been there done that.

[fpliii]

Which LA?

Lakers...sorry, I answered that way out of habit. I guess either LA really would pose that problem though.

Miami is probably hoping OKC comes out of the West IMO. They're not going to be at a marked disadvantage based on matchups alone, so if they're beaten it'll be at their own game.

[BuffaloBill]

Been there done that.




I guess that one series determines every future matchup between the two teams from now on.

Let me refer you back to last season...

Remember this game? :roll: Who won that year? :roll:

[PJR]

The 2011 Bulls had better quality depth as far as their 9 man rotation, and didn't have their explosive lead guard wasn't coming off an ACL/MCL injury.

Meanwhile, Miami is far more offensivly diverse and deeper than they were in 2011. Yeah, I think the same result is likely to occur. But that's just me.

Utah. Utah won. That's why the score was 99-98.

u mad bro

[knickswin]

oh my god. I remember the exact same reaction last year when the heat lost to the jazz in some regular season game. whatever...

[bdreason]

Denver and Utah are two of the hardest gyms in the league to get road W's.

[DaSeba5]

We split the series with them.

I expect the Jazz to win every game at home so losing to them at home isn't a digrace for anyone.

[SilkkTheShocker]

The Bulls had a better team in 2011 and they got backdoor swept

[Jolokia]

Lebron only got 4 rebounds. :biggums:

[Magic bird]

Lebron only got 4 rebounds. :biggums:
Millsap dominated him on the offensive boards, so did Big Al, Kanter and Favors.

[CarlosBoozer]

This. Noah and Boozer frontcourt :rockon:
Too true :pimp:

[pauk]

Because they are just coasting right now... they are not putting up their full effort and understandably so, they have the #1 record in the east and thats all that matters... be around when playoffs start.

Exactly. I swear people on here only watch highlights and box scores. Heat were playing rather apathetically. I stopped watching the game in the 3rd because I was bored by their apparent lack of enthusiasm or interest.

[SacJB Shady]

The regular season doesn't matter to Miami. They won the championship already last year and probably are just cruising it. It doesn't matter really because nobody in the East is going to take them down in the playoffs. And no matter they seed, they gonna have to play NY anyways. So nothing matters in the regular season for miami. Just the finals. Lebron and Wade are probably more focused on the strippers in miami right now. They making millions.

[joshwake]

Any team can lose to Utah at home, and it happens quite often to many good teams. Also, the Heat don't match up very well with Utah inside. They had LeBron on Jefferson....:rolleyes:

On a side note... Hayward really is starting to come into his own. Good to see. He is shooting lights out from 3 and not afraid to take big shots.

[longtime lurker]

Throw the ball away to the other team? Bosh is on his team, you know that right? If the ball goes through a players hands (about head level from 25 feet away) it's clearly the catcher's fault.

Ahh trolls...

Wait what?

Anyways Miami is obviously coasting right now, a lineup that featured Lebron, Allen and Joel fing Anthony almost came back to win the game.

[The Nets]

Of course they aint winning it all this year, we all know it already. What else is new?
:rolleyes:

[nashwade]

Bosh with 1 rebound. you gotta be kidding me

[Pursuer]

How can this forum seem even more ridiculous with even all these trolls around?

[All Net]

Yeah because miami didn't lose shockers last season either. Doesn't mean they will win it all again but them losing means nothing.

[Indian guy]

It's a legit question. They have some very glaring flaws as a team, which is why last year's run was such a monumental struggle, trailing in 3 consecutive series. They became the first team to win a championship with no size in NBA history. Think about that for a second, their starting front line from late-ECF was Bosh and Battier. That's ZILCH interior D and rebounding. And with Bosh moving to full-time C this season, they have gone from 1 league-worst position from last season(center) to 2 - PF(Haslem/Batteir) & PG(Chalmers/Cole).

So you're looking at a team with no size and no production from 2 of the 5 positions on the floor. Add Wade's decline to it and it's easy to see why they're struggling so much.

[WolfGang]

The Heat only lose because Lebron is probably the best PF/C on their team. They really need more talent so Lebron can stop doing 85% of the work.

Wade has never been a shooter and is just chilling at the moment. He will come alive when they need it.

[Magic bird]

Bosh with 1 rebound. you gotta be kidding me

This.

[teddytwelvetoes]

The Heat lost to the Jazz last year en route to a championship http://www.the-coli.com/images/smilies/what.png

[Replay32]

Didn't they lose to the Jazz last year too, when Lebron went crazy in the 4th to bring them back, but passed to Haslem for a wide open game winner? Dumb Thread.

[Dave3]

LeBron threw the ball directly into Bosh's hands. The OP said LeBron threw the ball away. Those are two different things, so I thought I'd point it out.

thats not what it looked like to me :confusedshrug:

lebron threw the ball too high and so they slipped through bosh's hands. lebron threw the ball away.

You just said it yourself. It slipped through Bosh's hands, and he wasn't even extending his arms. His arms were beside You're right though, NBA players shouldn't be expected to catch head level passes. That's just too hard :rolleyes:

According to you, this is throwing away -
