Still a big fraud.

3 league MVPs say something different but...

D-Wade is legit, tho.

He's got problems in the clutch, but he just had his 20th 30 PT 10 RB game in the playoffs. He might not be Micheal or Kobe, but he's not a fraud. However, he's the one that calls himself King and counts titles so I guess he deserves the harsh criticism. Proceed!

His teammates in HS called him that. Even then it could be worse... he could be "Black Mamba".

No kidding. That shit doesn't even make sense. Why call him a mamba at all? Calling Kobe the black mamba is like Mitch Holthus calling Larry Johnson a centaur. It's just plain dumb.

Now if you want a REAL snake nickname, look no further than my own:

Mario Snake Chalmers

TSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Just stubbed my toe getting ready for morn flight. Not only did it hurt like hell, it put Dwyane Wade at the free-throw line.

Instead of crying about the refs maybe Doc should tell his team to stop settling for jump shots.

Even when Rondo hits the lane and gets the crap knocked out of him the refs let it slide.

That was one missed call, and a bad one. There were missed calls on both sides. The difference is Miami continually drove the lane while Boston settled for jumpers.

The heat had more pts in the paint, more 2nd chance pts, and more fast break pts.

I went back and looked at the shot chart and counted all the shots in the paint by both teams.

Celtics took 22 shots in the paint
Heat took 29 shots in the paint

So those 7 more shots = Lebron taking 24 FT's attempts which is almost more than the entire Celtics team?

cmon man

**dirk digler** · 05-31-2012, 07:23 AM

Oh and Lebron took a total of 9 shots in the paint the entire game so basically anytime he went in he got fouled.

Yet Rondo had 10 shots(layups) in the paint yet went to the line a total of 6 times.

And yet the Heat (due to awful shooting) only made 5 more FT's than Boston.

Throughout the season the Celtics were at the bottom of the league in FTA while the Heat were towards the top.

Loving the Celtics complaining about officiating after all of the good calls that team has gotten since it was constructed in 2007. With as many respected stars as they have, they hardly know what it feels like to get screwed by the refs on a regular basis.

In reality, the Celtics allowed the Heat to make an exceptional comeback last night. If they want to stand a chance of winning this series, they'll have to do far more to stop LeBron and Wade.

Biggest comeback victory in Heat playoff history.

okcchief · 05-31-2012, 01:18 PM

I've given up worrying about officiating. If you are the better team you generally find a way to win the series. That Rondo no call was BS but they still had chances to make plays. The Heat made them and they didn't.

The NBA doesn't need to help the Heat to beat Boston. Over 7 games the Heat are just the better team.

**SAUTO** · 05-31-2012, 01:23 PM

i keep seeing people crying about the rondo no call...

what about when chalmers made that layup and was hacked? the announcers even commented on the missed foul there.

shit like that usually evens out in a seven game series.
