And there you have it guys, the difference between having Bron + Wade and not having them. Wade played excellent, and LeBron down the stretch, defense creating offense, and when they're both playing like that, they are difficult to beat. Miami shot the ball well again, but improved dramatically from 3 (very important for them), shooting it at around 40%. That's basically what it will come down too, will the guys around LeBron hit those open shots he gets for them - last night they did. Ive said it before, and will say it again, Miami is the only team that can win without a true big man. They've already proven this to be true. So much for Indiana being bigger and stronger, size is far from everything in today's NBA, especially when you have 2 of the premier players in the league like Miami does. BTW - Paul George you are a bitch. You're having trouble scoring on 38 year old Ray Allen? Come on.

Yet, Lebron doesn't get fined for over-exaggerating that David West foul, where James sent himself flying into the cameramen. It was almost a flagrant foul.
I had this discussion on a basketball forum. That wasn't a flop. He's not super human. He landed real awkward and fell down. It was ruled a common foul. Lance flopped, Lebron just fell down.
Exactly. I dislike LeBron, a lot, but that was called a foul and he landed awkwardly. Most definitely not a flop.
I don't know about that ... it appeared Lebron had enough balance to not fall awkwardly the way he did. The foul was a hard foul, but for him to skid the way he did no way ... Lebron is pretty strong - he def tried to get a flagrant out of it. That's just my opinion.
It wasn't enough to get a fine. Lance was blatant and he created all contact. The guy fell over. Look how he lands, it's awkward. Did he lay on the ground for 5 seconds later, yeah. But that's not flopping. That's just being annoying
Mark Jackson seems to think LeBron is not human. I can't get over his comment that if someone did what Chalmers did to Watson, to LeBron, LeBron would land on his feet, no problem. LeBron is one of the fastest players in the NBA. So if he is running full speed (thus generating a lot of momentum and kinetic energy) and then jumps for a layup, you're telling me if someone shoves him from behind while he's in the air he's going to land on his feet? I'd have to see it to believe it, and that goes for any player. My opinion is that LeBron would most certainly not land on his feet, and the player doing it to him would likely be suspended.
What's everyone's take on Marc Jackson saying wade is the third best SG of all time?? Obviously behind MJ and Kobe. I'm about 3 but he's definitely top 5. West, drexler and Iverson are all up there as well IMO
Wades peak is incredible but also short. I haven't looked in a while but I don't think wade is a lock. Kobe might not be either. Haven't checked in a while
The run at the end might be the difference maker in this game. I expect the Thunder to make a push in the 2nd half similar to game one, but in the end I think San Antonio prevails.
San Antonio is winning a championship this year. This team is absolutely incredible to watch. Just pure basketball
Its finally the Spurs time. Its been a work in progress since 2011 and its finally culminating with the best team they have had since the last championship.
Can't disagree here. I can't see any team beating them. They play great defense, they spread the ball out perfectly, and their offense is unstoppable. It's amazing to watch. It's just pure textbook basketball.
