He went there to win championships and has two rings to show for it.

Miami's offense is efficient largely because Bosh is a credible 3pt shooter,

You say this addressing me like I'm not aware of this. Which why I said his "personal game" not his overall team success.

Miami's offense is largely efficient due to having the world's best player on the team. Bosh almost shot them out of the game yesterday in the last two minutes. He went 1 for 3. It just so happens that the one made attempt was a big one. Bigs need to play big not like guards. I hate that almost as much as I hate on fast breaks when nobody runs the lanes for a lay-up. Everyone wants to shoot that corner 3. They'll pass up a 99% shot for a 40% shot. That's dumb basketball IMO.

Not only did Bosh take 2 misssed 3 pointers one wasn't any where near his range. The one that he made was the corner 3. Which is in his range and a much more acceptable shot for him.

Bosh plays like a worse shooting Ryno at this point of his career. Of course I know he is better on the defensive end, but his offensive game is all jumpers. Again, another example of a guy becoming a better outside shooter and falling in love with it; abandoning other parts of his game. Be careful what you wish for.

This is an assumption that Bosh's increase jumper rate is solely him and not the offensive system.

No I wasn't implying that. Just pointing out that Bosh, while probably not aware of the extent to which his personal game would suffer, still made a conscious effort to sacrifice it for the sake of experiencing team success, which he has.

Have to agree with Da ThRONe here. Their offense is predicated on spacing as it opens up driving lanes for LBJ and Wade to attack or kick out, which often leads to a series of swings that results in an open perimeter shot. I think if you put Bosh on another team, you see a lot more versatility in his game. Particularly driving to the basket and face ups from midrange.

Yeah that's why I made sure I included my point that it's his personal game that suffers. It's sort of a waste of talent IMO, but I think no lesser of him for it.

John Freaking Wall.

It's conceivable that the Wizards next year will be as good as the Pacers were supposed to be this year. The talent across the board, the hopeful growth of Porter. There is plenty of reason for people in DC to be excited.

What happened to Joel meyers? Haven't heard him on a broadcast for a while now.

Broadcasting rotation probably tightens as the number of games reduce.

I agree, the future is bright for the Wizards.

He had been working out at Elmwood in One Shell for a while. Haven't seen him around the gym lately. Dude is great at his craft. Shame we couldn't get a Gerry Joel combo.

Dam I hope okc can escape with this win.

Should've been a foul on Reggie Jackson anyways before this.

I suggest not putting any hope in Porter being the thing that pushes them to the Pacers level next year. Firstly, he won't be able to play any with Ariza and Webster. And second, he's had just as bad season as Rivers 1st year. He will need a couple years at least.

HahahahahahahHh nah h HhhA and he chokes the game away on the last play. Eat it paul

Poor CP3, he shot his team in the foot over the last minuet.

Wow. Chris Paul single-handedly choked that game (and most likely the series) away.

OKC needs Westbrook.

End of story.

And this is the good u get from Westbrook with the bad. Well worth it IMO. Paul looked like a statue standing in front of Westbrook on defense.

just a stunner to see that epic collapse... not just by the Clippers as a team... but specifically by CP3

he should know better than to do that challenge on Westbrook on what was a horrid shot w/ 6 seconds left... then to be stripped on the last play... just... wow CP... wow

As much as I wanted to see the clippers lose, they got robbed of that game.

Horrible officiating.

he's no longer needed since there aren't nearly as many games

Right but he's one of the best. I can name a few that are rolling rt now that need to be replaced by him. Webber IMO is just horrible. He just rants at times and u can tell he doesn't even know where he's going with it at times. It's painful at times.

Not saying Porter is what pushes them forward, I am just saying he is one of the pieces that should improve next season. Who knows, maybe they trade Porter off for a piece that moves them further. Either way, their front court is just as strong as their backcourt. And it's pretty interesting to see Gortat and Nene, two guys who were afterthoughts, just have monster game after monster game. I hope they can keep this up.

Sorry but I absolutely 100%. Agree with leaving it with okc even tho it looked to be out on Jackson. It was an obvious foul and okc getting the ball keeps it the right way and actually okc still getting screwed at that moment cause he should've been at the line for 2.

Westbrook is amazing. He misses a shot at the end of a game and he gets roasted alive, but when he makes plays like he did tonight, you forget who the MVP on that team is.

Agreed.

This is why the NBA has a bad rap and its totally deserved. Instead of just eating the missed foul on Reggie Jackson the officials to decided, unilaterally, to award the ball back to OKC even though its clear as day that Reggie touched it last.

He's electric for sure. I just wish he could calm down at times. He gets out of control at times.

So the right thing is to give the ball to the clippers and the thunder get screwed? It is a no win situation.

You're wrong. Fouls are arbitrary calls that can not be reviewed unless in the instant of a flagrant. Yes there is a cosmically right, but there is also a legal right. You don't right cosmic wrongs by going outside what is legal. Protect the integrity of the game.

Dang Doc your gonna get fined a hefty amount lol.

Even on that last play. Paul was fouled AND there should have been a kick-ball. Neither was whistled.

doc is 100% correct.

Good discussion on TNT rt now. I agree with Barkley.

No its not. All leagues have systems that rate ref performance for their judgment. The refs will be handled accordingly, and yes that's unfortunate for the Thunder, but that is part of the game. Going outside of what is clearly noticeable to replay is just gross negligence.

Sorry but that cam angle head on does not show conclusive evidence that it went off Jackson.

It's slightly below the Russell Wilson game winning interception. The refs screwed the Clipps tonight, but the Thunder got screwed as well.

These flagrant fouls being called are just out of hand. The nba has changed so much from the 90s.

Doesn't matter. It clearly showed that Barnes didn't touch it.

Exactly and that's why I say it's a no win situation. The refs didn't lose the game for the clippers. The clippers lost the game in the last 3 minutes.

When Barnes swiped and hit his hand the ball was in his hand. Barnes fingers touched the ball.

I just saw a better angle now. Jackson followed thru and hit ball last but Barnes did touch ball when he initially hit his hand.
