Yeah, Wade isn't even 6'5".

LBJ would be crazy not to opt out. This Heat era is done

Rasul Butler has taken all of Turner's minutes. That's not saying much for Turner. He's a 3 that can't get minutes on a playoff team. Translation....he'd be perfect on the Pels. We love those types of guys

Still wish they would play Copeland instead, but at least Butler can hit 3s and doesn't dominate the ball thinking he's better than he really is.

There you go Evan Turner fans

Lol!!! Exactly. At one point, everybody on this forum wanted him on this team

There's some bad refereeing in this game. I'm ready to just let the players call their own fouls like in rec ball.

Not me, but I was constantly informed about all his terribleness from Sixers fans on the main sports board I read. They were so happy he was traded this year.

Turner for cheap was discussed yes. But most people pointed to the lack of 3pt shooting to be the problem with him on this team.

He literally doesn't do anything well.

Chalmers and Bosh are playing so bad. If I'm D. West, I'm renegotiating my contract to what Bosh makes b/c he's better than Bosh. I'm not even a D. West fan

When the Heat turn it on, they're good

Not a coincidence that when the Heat are at their best, Chalmers is usually on the bench.

Evan turner is absolutely horrible and looks like he eats the whole fridge before game day.

If you ask me, Cole has taken his spot. I believe Chalmers is a FA. I wouldn't re-sign him for the money that he's going to ask for

not sure if this has been posted but heres a little article of montys thoughts on the playoff games

That's Not good ball to me. Instead of patty mills shootings a lay-up on the fast break, he flares out for the corner 3. Pass up a 90% shot for a 30 something% shot. Plain and simple bad basketball

Another fast break 3 by Danny green. That has to be the worst shot in basketball.

Pop just conceded this game. I don't believe that. Wow! He cleared his bench in a playoff game with 5 min left

Spurs basketball is bad for the NBA like the Detroit Pistons bad boy teams were bad for the NBA.

Spurs bench can beat most teams most nights. Playing them whenever he feels like it is one reason why. Besides, Duncan and Parker sucked most of the night and the refs were not going to let OKC lose this one. I admire Pop for calling BS when it's needed.....

I don't think that it's bad it's just not fun to watch. They actually play bball like its supposed to be payed minus fast break 3's

I am right there with you. I recently saw a poll on ESPN (sportsnation I believe), and the question was asked, is the Spurs advancing in the playoffs had for the NBA and like 78% said yes. While I am sure the majority of voters are Laker,Clipper,Bulls,enter popular team that's no longer in the playoffs people feel that way because they think because it's different it's not good for the game.

At the time Detroit basketball was gritty and dirty. They won knowing they had to be the dirtiest team on the floor. They were different, and the rest of the NBA didn't like them. David Stern said (years later) if they could do it all over again they would have fined them more as Pistons basketball set the NBA back or at least stunted it's growth.

So fans and the NBA get winners out of teams they don't like. Who gives a flip. They are winning while we are losing. Good for them.

If I was a Pacers fan, I'd hate these refs. Lotta ticky tack fouls

Lebron just got a foul for being big. Smh

Chris Bosh has to officially change his name to Cristo Boshovic.

I see what you did there and I like it.

Some bad calls in this game

Pacers still, STILL need a PG in the worst way.

Pacers are being run out of the gym, my lord their offense is just horrible.

Dam refs making sure the pacers don't get this lead down to single digits huh.

The Pels second team runs a more creative and effective offense than the Pacer starters.

When the starters our even playing, that is. Roy Hibbert exists, right?

I think Roy Hibbert is an old, old wooden ship.

He certainly couldn't get into any sort of rhythm with all those fouls they were calling on him. That game last night was bad, but the pace at which it was played was worse. It seemed like every 30 seconds there was another foul being called.

Indiana still gets away with far more fouls than they are actually called for, like the Bulls. They both have hideous offenses but at least Chicago has a plan and structure.

As far as actual fouls called, I tend to not enjoy watching teams with a high free throw rate. Mainly because I hate the constant interruption of play and watching free throws is damn boring.

Bosh flopped and that was a bad call on Hibbert

I agree with the Throne. Bosh is officially no longer a low post player

Duh? He is still extremely good at what the Heat need him to do. http://grantland.com/features/chris-...areer-scoring/

A relevant bit from that article:

Bosh is now a two-time champion, a nine-time All-Star, and an 11-year veteran. He turned 30 in March. Between playing in obscurity in Toronto and in the shadows of James and Wade in Miami, his unique versatility as a scorer remains generally unheralded. There are two shooting stats from the 2013-14 season that really demonstrate the diversity and potency of Bosh’s game. The first shows just how good he is at scoring near the basket: Of 99 NBA players who attempted at least 300 shots inside of 8 feet, Bosh ranked fourth in efficiency.

1. LeBron James, 75 percent
2. DeAndre Jordan, 68 percent
3. Kevin Durant, 67 percent
4. Chris Bosh, 67 percent
5. Dwyane Wade, 66 percent

The Heat have three of the five most efficient interior scorers in the NBA. That says a lot about how well they have come together as a team since 2010. Bosh has always been good near the basket, but in Miami, unlike in Toronto, many of his baskets are assisted. He attributes his strong close-range numbers to his teammates.

“That success near the rim speaks to not only their aggressiveness, but their unselfishness and their ability to create for others. Dwyane and LeBron are two of the best finishers in the game, and I’m wide open most of the time,” he says, laughing.

The second stat reveals just how lethal Bosh is as a midrange jump-shooter. Of 67 NBA players who attempted at least 300 midrange shots this season, these are the top three in efficiency:

1. Dirk Nowitzki: 50 percent
2. Stephen Curry: 49 percent
3. Chris Bosh: 48 percent

That’s pretty good company. And while Nowitzki and Curry enjoy reputations as elite shooters, many people still don’t realize just how reliable Bosh is as well. He takes a lot of pride in his jumper. He’s near the top of that midrange list every year, and he wishes he were at the very top of it.

The whole flow of the game changes when LBJ is on the court. Indiana should be ashamed that they gave that lead up

I wish Paul George would make up his mind. Are you on THAT level or aren't you?


And who told Rashard Lewis to be relevant again?

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!

I hope the Pacers realize that Lebron is probably going for 50 in the next game. He'll have zero fouls and be on a mission to make up for last game.

And the refs won't stand in his way either.
