Lol hope cleveland doesnt draft another bust.

5/20/2014 8:38:08 PM

I do

5/20/2014 8:51:37 PM

Me too. They've so horribly mismanaged that franchise that they don't deserve success until they get a new owner.

5/20/2014 9:02:38 PM

Chris Bosh has been worse than useless so far.

5/20/2014 9:15:08 PM

Damn this is a defensive faceoff. Miami's d looks a helluva lot better tho

5/20/2014 9:41:41 PM

The Cave are the 21st century Clippers.

5/20/2014 10:23:22 PM

flop

5/20/2014 10:50:34 PM

Vogel's 2nd quarter lineup shenaningans are going to lose them more games then it wins them. You can't rely on a lineup of watson stephenson butler scola and mahimi to play extended minutes together this late in the playoffs. Who rests 4 starters at a time in the playoffs?

West got poked in the eye at the worst possible time. It cost them like 4 possessions . Lebron seems sick or soemthing. Wade has been elite this series.

5/20/2014 11:00:10 PM

What a terrible coaching job there.

5/20/2014 11:03:58 PM

I hate Dwayne wade with a passion.

5/20/2014 11:04:47 PM

what a shameful final inbounds play

5/20/2014 11:11:39 PM

end game perfect execution from the heat.

5/20/2014 11:14:05 PM

series over. still gonna go 6 or 7 but that basically seals it. pacers offense doesn't function without west. when he goes out all hell breaks loose unless stephenson plays like lebron. crazy how they rely on one guy so much.```

[Edited on May 20, 2014 at 11:16 PM. Reason : play of the game was cole poking west in the eye. perfectly executed without fouling]

5/20/2014 11:14:33 PM

series has been over since the refs met in a dark alley before the season started

5/20/2014 11:16:50 PM

that dark alley meeting was like 4 years ago. it still doesn't mean things are over. the heat and refs CAN be beat even though we've only seen it happen once...it happened.

[Edited on May 20, 2014 at 11:20 PM. Reason : how about a flagrant on lebron for excessive flopping]

5/20/2014 11:19:14 PM

if the heat somehow win it all this year, do the refs prevent them from winning it next year since jordan never 4peated?

[Edited on May 20, 2014 at 11:21 PM. Reason : Bill Simmons is worse than Shaq]

5/20/2014 11:20:49 PM

preserving history doesn't make them money now.

5/20/2014 11:22:20 PM

you make it sound like Durant finally besting Lebron next year is going to somehow lose the NBA money

5/20/2014 11:26:06 PM

So the real question is, does Lance deserve a fine for that horrendous, horrendous flop?

[Edited on May 20, 2014 at 11:39 PM. Reason : sdfsdf]

5/20/2014 11:27:54 PM

Durant will not be better than Lebron next year. The MVP award has never been an indicator of who is the best player. I have no idea of who will be the most marketable team next year. There are way too many free agents and we don't even have a clue who Lebron will be playing with and for.

[Edited on May 20, 2014 at 11:29 PM. Reason : ^only an idiot would watch the other team change the game by flopping and not flop]

[Edited on May 20, 2014 at 11:30 PM. Reason : next]

5/20/2014 11:28:36 PM

who cares if Durant is better than Lebron next year? If the Thunder are better than the Heat in a best of 7 series in June, the NBA will make plenty of money

5/20/2014 11:33:01 PM

it doesn't really matter in the finals because there isn't another game for people to watch (or not watch) after lebron is eliminated.

5/20/2014 11:34:17 PM

Spurs might sweep OKC. Without Ibaka they are woeful on defense and Durant and Westbrook will literally have to combine for 75+ per game for them to win a game.

5/20/2014 11:37:18 PM

^Yeah, I think that series is going 5. Durant and Westbrook are good enough to steal one game, but San Antonio's frontcourt is too deep and too good for them to have a chance without Ibaka.

5/21/2014 7:58:33 AM

NBA fine stephenson and send a clear message that flopping will not be accepted....unless you're the heat.

PG has a consussion and might miss some games. I've seen concussions last days but some have lasted weeks. His seems pretty bad considering the way he got hit.

5/21/2014 7:35:43 PM

conventional wisdom says that a series isn't over until a road team wins

but

this series is over

and Ibaka being out is a big deal, but I'm not sure it's this big of a deal

5/21/2014 10:42:27 PM

Hard to say. It's spurs' home court.

5/21/2014 10:47:36 PM

Everyone wants to bang this teen now

5/21/2014 11:18:16 PM

I don't think I can remember an entire quarter of garbage time this late in the playoffs.

5/21/2014 11:27:00 PM

IT"S OVER


Spurs are winning the championship. unless the ref grabs a rebound and another ref shoots a three to tie the game

5/22/2014 8:03:54 AM

overreaction itt

In the NBA, this is actually a believable scenario

5/22/2014 2:38:33 PM

Cuban just saved Sterling. Can't kick them both out.

5/22/2014 7:15:58 PM

That's a truly epic troll attempt there.

5/22/2014 7:25:19 PM

This is the only part I hate about the NBA playoffs...the way too large breaks in between games during the conference finals.

5/22/2014 7:56:45 PM

^ truth. Insane that on a Thursday night with two conference finals in progress that there is no game. Makes no sense why Miami and Indy are not playing tonight.

5/22/2014 8:09:43 PM

you could hear a pin drop in Miami with those fairweather fucke fans

5/24/2014 9:27:44 PM

Because other fanbases would be going crazy down 15 at home...

5/24/2014 9:32:23 PM

Miami is almost as bad as Atlanta when it comes to fans

5/24/2014 9:51:16 PM

that's valid

but criticizing their energy when they were down big at home wasnt

5/24/2014 9:52:12 PM

First order of business next summer for Indiana needs to be finding a point guard. They have no hope against this press without one on the roster. Its been their problem for years.

5/24/2014 10:18:30 PM

People will say they don't get the ball inside enough but Miami's pressure makes them turn the ball over when they try to just pass the ball into the post. People will blame Stephenson for dribbling too much but he is the only confident ball handler on the team. Nobody on this entire roster can pick a spot and get to it to create angles for good entry passes and Miami has exposed that.

5/24/2014 10:39:53 PM

Rays Allen make the 3 good.

5/24/2014 10:57:37 PM

if the Bobcats hadn't lost that game to the Celtics and/or the Heat hadn't rested all their starters against Washington, we could've played this choking ass Indiana never-won-shit franchise in the 1st round

5/24/2014 11:04:36 PM

5/24/2014 11:05:41 PM

They've played terrible defense the entire series too btw. This has been a bit overshadowed by game 1 when they shot lights out and outscored Miami. Their pick n roll defense is atrocious. Wade walks through the paint whenever he feels like it. Indiana helps AND allows penetration so Miami can get anything.

[Edited on May 24, 2014 at 11:07 PM. Reason : getting carved up by old asses. lebron is basically resting ]

5/24/2014 11:06:20 PM

Scary part of all this is that Lebron has not even had a good game yet.

5/24/2014 11:20:09 PM

Ibaka is playing

5/25/2014 8:36:43 PM

Brooks' love affair with Perkins is something I will never, ever understand
