What happened to the guy who skull ****ed the Pistons by himself? I really think he's put too much pressure on himself.

I give James a lot of crap, mostly because he doesn't go back to Cleveland and find his balls and take them back to Miami. What I mean by that is he plays a lot better when he's the man, IMO. When he doesn't feel bad for taking over. His thinking is "well this is Wade's team and I don't wanna..." Stop it, James. Just take it. Don't think. He thinks too much. I know after last year this sounds nuts, but he's being too nice and he's always been too nice. His way of acting out was leaving the Cavs. Well, now here is your chance... If you're a star player and arguably the best in the country right now, you take...and take...and take. You **** shit up. I honestly don't think he feels like this is his team. But his talent says otherwise. You're great, now stop thinking and start owning bitches like you used to.

They are still a great team, no doubt. Obvious title contenders with all the pieces. I just think they'd be better if he took over MORE and didn't think about it. Once he does...look out. Especially with the talent on that team. If James had Wade's balls he'd be a superhero. And if Wade had James' talent, you could say the same thing.

Do the Spurs ever have a bad shooting night?

No, it's not true. David Stern himself says the Heat don't flop.

Maybe Wade's just really bad at tying his shoes.

They aren't calling hardly any fouls tonight. As long as it goes both ways I'm cool with it.

What a half.

In the press conference, Wade is now claiming that he was fouled on the layup at the end of the game. Are you ****ing kidding me? What a joke.

And then he's bitching about the Pacers' celebration after the game? You talking about the same guy whose overly cocky celebration against Dallas may have been the turning point of the series?

Seriously, **** these guys.

Also a team that had a huge celebration before they won shit. Gotta take it if you dish it out.

Kawhi is a beast. That was such a good move for the Spurs. Trade a PG you don't need and grab a player that is going to replace Bowen on the defensive end but can actually score from more than the corner.

I can't bring myself to be interested in Spurs/Clippers.

Wade is such a whiney bitch. I am starting to dislike him more than Lebron. He whines and cries about every ****ing call and is it just me but did anyone else think he should have been hit with a Flagrant 2 on that hit on Collison?
