    Agreed. Also to the point of who you addressing, Wade was a friggin MESS last game.

    Do they come back and get to face the Spurs? Yes. Do they get their butts pushed in? Yes.

    The heat would be better off replacing bosh with an actual defensive rebounding big man or having a center worth a damn so bosh could be a PF. Either way, if the heat lose, bosh or wade are probably gone. When do their contracts end? Next year?

    Wade is done and Lebron knows it. This is why he chewed them all out in game 5. Bosh is limited on both ends (at least in this serious). Coaching still matters, because Vogel is killing Spo. If only the rest of the Eastern Conference would have realized that the heat are beatable. Only the undermanned Celtics and the injured Bulls challenged the Heat physically and psychologically all season. (and the Pacers too)

    I'm curious to see how the media and the "mothership" (Dan Patrick's reference to ESPN) handles Hibbert's post game comments. He let them have it. The comments about "y'all don't watch us [all season]" was dead on. I don't want to get into poor choice of words regarding his comments about stretching the defense-gay slur. Just a bad analogy and poor timing.

    Yea how he said it wasn't meant as a slur

    I have come to the conclusion (long before tonight) that Stephen A Smith knows little more about basketball than my grandmother who doesn't speak English, and has never watched a basketball game. But she loves to talk about anything.

    Hibbert never used a gay slur. Unless homo is a slur now.

    He didn't, but the gay community feels kind of touchy about people saying "no-homo"

    If I were the Heat, I would do what Pop did with Gino and tell Wade to come off the bench. The thing is Wade is still a good player, despite his slump, but Lebron is taking away from his game. Him and Lebron do the same thing, except Lebron is better so Wade is the odd man out because Bosh has adapted his game to allow him to get touches. If you notice, when LBJ is off the court, that's when Wade actually plays better. Wade needs to come off the bench, however, Spo doesn't have the respect and BALLS Pop has and won't be able to tell that to Wade's ego.

    Bosh isn't limited, it's just he is not allowed to play HIS game with LBJ next to him so he has to adapt to something he was not. Bosh is a post-oriented player. With LBJ receiving most of the plays, Bosh and Wade has to fit in where they fit in. Bosh, was able to adapt and become a stretch 4 while Wade has suffered.

    If Pacers win game 7, the Spurs will win the championship.

    Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams

    Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston

    I would expect the Spurs to win it regardless of the winner of Game 7.

    Its looking like that now. Not really sure the Heat can win unless Lebron's athleticism overwhelms them, but with Wade and Bosh struggling, that won't seem enough.

    Uhhh, Mauer inc. This crew is just as bad as Joe Crawford. I have a feeling this will be a very one-sided game tonight. No way Stern retires to Pacers vs Spurs. I hope I'm wrong.

    The Spurs are a better match-up for the Heat. It's not guaranteed that the Spurs take it if the Heat are fortunate to get out of game 7 tonight. Certain teams match-up better against others. The Pacers are just a bad match-up for the Heat. If the Heat play the Spurs, they will be able to do more of what they do as evidenced by their record against the Spurs in the regular season. IMO, the Spurs would rather play the Pacers.

    But, you can't really base it off their records in the regular season,though. In the game in Miami, if you remember, Pop sent Duncan, Parker, and Ginobli home for "rest." Ended up getting fined for it. lol The Spurs almost won the game too! Only lost by 5. In San Antonio, LBJ and Dwayne Wade did not play for the Heat. And, Ginobli did not play for the Spurs(he is not listed in the boxscore, so idk). That was a 2-point game with the Heat winning. Point is, though, we have not seen these two teams go full-strength this season, so it should be a good one. But, I think the Spurs are a nightmare matchup for the Heat.

    Man is spo teaching these guys to flop?? He has to be. This is the most flopping team I've ever seen. Dude just flopped acting like west pushed him to the floor and gave up that wide open dunk. Ridiculous
