i guess i was wrong bout the pacers beatin the heat w.o bosh but they aint winnin the title w.o him
oh shit! which bandwagon is hack wilson gonna be on for the heat-celtics matchup?
legendary game by rondo, wtf is going on with this nigga? suddenly he can stroke it like the best of em? like really, wtf?!there's no chance the celtics are winning this series... they left everything they had out there and still lost, game over for them
any team would be down 0-2 if it were playing the spurs. i wouldn't just call it chokin. contested jumpshots or free-throws are not his strength, plus the heat offense tends to be stagnant and pathetic in those situations. spoelstra is quite mike brownesque sometimes. wonder what he would do if he ever, EVER had a good or at least decent coach. not to mention someone like jackson or popovich. either way, lebron tends to suck in those situations, but part of it is to blame on a) the coach for never running a gangsta play and just putting out pathetic & awkward isos and b) lebron's skillset not fitting those situations, as he can't drive because he's afraid to get fouled (FTs weakest part of his game) and can't comfortably shoot as he's not the greatest jump-shooter. it's not JUST choking. choking could be said of someone who shoots 88% from the line, then misses on last possession FTs. or someone like durant missing jumpers all the time. with james, it's just not his forté. nigga needs to have some plays ran for him. those awkward isos with him just waiting till the clock expires then running for an uncomfortable contested 18-footer that everybody knows is coming just sucks ass.
What I'd like to know Seven, since the 4th game of Indiana series, do you still think that Lebron is saving Wade's ass, as you've put it ? I think it's quite clear who is the go to guy when it comes to making baskets when it matters.

THATS 14%! disgustin shit.
fact is this: if wade and bron switched skins in the same game, niggas would still shit more on bron than they do on wade. lebron is probably the most over-scrutinized athlete of all time. there has never been a black athlete so hated on by blacks, even though there's been black athletes who were murderers, rapists, thugs, drug abusers... well, flat out niggers. still they were backed by the black community. but lebron gets shitted on by anyone, despite being a friendly, law-abiding person. isn't this kind of sick?
part of this is to blame on the coaching, they simply have zero plays called in those situations. it's always iso for a nigga and see what happens. not even fucking high screen lol. it's beyond pathetic. plus, those numbers can be deceiving. durant actually has terrible numbers in that statistic, but noone would call him horrible after all those highly-publicized last second game-winners.
