Workload catching up to Jake it looks like. Several starts in a row where he's been fighting his command

Can he shoot? :P

We need a point guard.

lol. 13 years later and Bulls fans still can't admit that MJ used his off hand to separate from Russell? It was hardly malicious. But it was there. Reggie pushed MJ to get free for his game-winner in the previous series. Superstars have, and always will, continue to get superstar calls. That's why I don't cry like a girl over calls that LeBron, Wade, Kobe, etc, get.

 

Reggies was much more of a clear push off...

 

russell got crossed over. His momentum cleared him out, not Jordans off hand. No ref in there right mind even thinks about calling that.

 

Games were called differently 15 years ago. And there was MUCH LESS whining and complaining. It has really stood out as I rewatch the games with my lil brother.

 

 

I vote for a screen name change...

Probably not a good sign for Miami that Lebron can't miss and they're still only up 10.

I absolutely love how often people post in here meaning to post in the game thread.

I've seen it happen more this year than every other year combined.

I don't think I've ever seen the refs call a jump ball because they couldn't figure out who touched the ball last before it went out of bounds.

gz lebron with 30 at the half lolz 12-14 shooting

 

pierce on the bench with 3 fouls most of the 2nd quarter

I think it's a running joke at this point

LeBron showed up when it really mattered. Props to him.

 

Boston's done.

LeBron.not.clutch.

Still need one more. Lebron can't be that good in game 7 (can he?) and Boston will probably hit a few more shots.

Heat vs Thunder is just more interesting.

ya hoping for a decent game 7 at least

 

Hope the Heat lose game 7.

Well if fan enthusiasm counted, the Celtics have the edge in game 7.

Zzzzzz. I'm not going to get into some worthless argument over something that occurred 13 years ago. MJ's left-hand clearly met Russell's butt as the cross-over was taking place. Yes, you're not going to call that (though I'm sure Jazz fans wanted it called) in that situation. Point being, superstars got calls back then just as they do now. The only difference now is that you have the internet, facebook, twitter, a never-ending sports cycle (espn), etc, that totally dwarfs anything that was going on in the 90's. Magic Johnson once joked as he, Michael and Bird were posing for a photo together during the Dream Team run that he didn't want to get too close to Michael out of fear of being called for a foul. If Michael were playing today, every fanbase in the world (sans Chicago) would be complaining of special treatment, just as they do with LeBron, Wade and Kobe.

Rewatch some games. Point being, much less crying and complaining back then.

I believe something clicked in LeBron's melon last night - an understanding of what is expected of him.

 

And if that finally happened, may God have mercy on anyone in his path the next 7 years.

Yeah, as a fan of the Not-Heat, I enjoyed whimsical joking LeBron. Serious LeBron is nasty.

We'll see. He's had some of these games before and then followed them up with clunkers (see, Chicago and Boston series last year, followed by the Finals). I liked Jon Barry's comment that it's nice to see Lebron going to work instead of hanging out and having fun with his friends. No stupid hand shakes, smiles, laughter, etc. Just business.
