Everyone was on Spo's jock in the first half, and the team was just so perfect. Once James and Wade started choking, especially in that fourth quarter, it's Spo's fault... Simply put, the Magic defended the two superstars well, especially on the last play of the game. The play had to be a three. Wade will never shoot a contested three (hell, I'm not even sure if Wade will even take a jumper to win a game these days), while LeBron is scared to death to take that final shot. Who was left open? The Magic left open the big man for a reason. If Bosh drills that, so be it. Plus, it wasn't Miami's offense that ultimately lost this game. It was the fact that they weren't able to stop Orlando's three ball, which brought them out of a hole that very few teams should be able to climb out of. That's nothing on Spo. Spoelstra doesn't call plays from the sidelines, not every play. He may have drawn up the three to the open man (which was Bosh due to Orlando's defense), but LeBron in the post is something the player decides. There are rotations that LeBron will want to run the point and facilitate with, not drag his man into the post. Also, Q-Rich isn't a punk. He has put on muscle, and he's not afraid to get physical with James. Wear and tear...it's possible that LeBron wanted to avoid it, just as a lot of players do in the league, to save energy and physical strength for the last few minutes. There are two superstars, and one all-star, with a handful of shooters, on this team. It's not the coach's fault they couldn't hit a damn shot. They were wide open for half of the third quarter, and both LeBron and Wade were playing more like Joey Graham and Von Wafer throughout that last quarter. Because there are about three players that actually get to take part in this offense every night, expect the other 10-11 to not be able to make something happen when they are needed. That's how basketball works.

I didn't.

Karma ;-)

Bosh is a fruit.

Bree Olson is awesome if you don't mind semen breath! Probably a hint of ATM in there, too!

Okay, you can praise how he's living his life and all (if he's drug-free), but please don't brag about Bree Olson. There's absolutely nothing good about being the man that is kissing the mouth of, and having sex with, a super slut that has been plowed thousands of times by other men ages 18-70.

Speaking of wearing something on the wrist I can imagine that TruTrojan has one of these but he uses it for his baseball card collection http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/yu/yu-gi-oh-duel-disc-launcher.jpg

Done, goodbye cruel world, this is the punishment I get for not watching the Heat/Magic game. Sasha, you will have a spot reserved in my goodbye note.

It is amazing what a player can do when playing alongside a competent point guard. It is no coincidence that both Barnes and UNC started turning their season around once Drew left the team and Marshall was inserted into the starting lineup. As for Barnes himself, his season is alarmingly similar to DeMar DeRozan's freshman season at USC. Both were considered can't miss prospects coming out of high school (both were ranked #1 for their positions and considered the top high school recruits) and both had huge expectations from their respective programs with UNC playing in the NIT the year before Barnes' arrival and DeRozan filling in for Mayo. Both of them got off to slow starts and fell down mock drafts to the mid to late lottery but by the time that conference tournament came along, both picked their games up (DeRozan won MVP and Barnes has been clutch as hell for UNC) and scouts started taking notice of them again. I still think the Raptors were lucky to land DeRozan at 9 and it is looking like a team will experience the same thing with Barnes should he fall out of the top 3-5 like he is projected to as of right now. He is still, and has always been, number 2 on my Raptor draft list all season long. There is no denying the guys talent and honestly, what freshman wouldn't struggle with those ridiculous expectations that Barnes was faced with? The guy has NBA level skill, sounds like he has a great work ethic, seems to have a great head on his shoulders and just has an outstanding feel for the game. It was only a matter of time before he started to figure things out and start playing well. He is too talented not to.

I'm with you. It's gonna take more than Kendrick Perkins to push them over the top. The Thunder may be missing one more key offensive player to go along with their defensive philosophy. Last seasons post season matchup with the Lakers was a Cinderella one. While the Lakers may be the weakest of the three you mentioned, I still don't think that OKC could beat them repeatedly (in a series). It's sad...because I admire the OKC franchise, but without that experience I don't see them making it to a game 6 in the second round. Timing sucks!

Even with a healthy Perkins I don't think they are good enough yet to beat the Spurs, Mavericks or Lakers in the 2nd round. I'd be surprised if they went any further than that.

Simple way to put it: Wade and LeBron are trying to adjust to each other more than anything else, and they just need to play their game. Same with Bosh. With all three playing their games (the same way they played last season), the rest of the team will fall in line, and things will set in. Miller, Chalmers, Jones, Bibby, all of them are going to be spot-up shooters. None of them are going to have the ball (not even Bibby). If the big three are attacking, the best teams will collapse, and that opens up the court. Assuming those three are playing the way they would back in Cleveland, Toronto and the Heat (pre-three), they will find their teammates quicker, for better shots, and less madness on the court. As far as what happens in the last two minutes goes...it should all be based on the opposing team's weaknesses (don't see how this isn't obvious). If the team is the Lakers, it's probably best to go to Wade down the stretch, to make Kobe work extra hard on defense AND have to go back down the court and provide offense. If it's Boston, it's LeBron because of the muscle and physicality. If it's the Bulls, use Bosh and attack Boozer. Orlando? Wade has to be aggressive against J-Rich, P&R action to get to the line, something. The big three's best bet is to not change who they are, as individual players, and just go out and win games. Once they get into the playoffs, they can draw the defensive attention and work together to get Bosh a few dominating performances, and it's open season for their shooters.

Looks like a dinosaur, holy [expletive].

lmao @Chuck at halftime Ernie: How many times did you play 82 games in a season during your career? Chuck: That's a good question. Hmm, I'd have to say....10 out of 16. Ernie: One. Your rookie year. Chuck: What the hell, you don't have nothing better to do today?

Skip Bayless:

Just hang yourself

Quote the Raptors fan, nevermore

Which method should I use

What's your record against teams period? I realize your team is pathetic, but its time to move on. Its going to be a year in July. Let it go.

I have no confidence in Lebron or Wade taking a clutch shot right now.....let Dampier shoot the three lol

And now I am, too

I knew Magic would make a comeback

Ya I agree, I think he's lost and he's looked like a huge slob in the process. These quotes are funny for sure but it's not like he gets off the hook because he's living life like a "badass" ..... That show was banking and now everyone loses out that's involved with it because Charlie wants to live a "badass" life doesn't seem cool to me.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but some of these were funny. http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhd6ut12qB1qhb47yo1_r1_400.jpg http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhg822WjvQ1qhb47yo1_400.jpg http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhd6ut12qB1qhb47yo1_r1_400.jpg http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhd0afuxhM1qhb47yo1_r1_400.jpg

Yeh let's praise a guy whose career is going down the drain because of drugs. I can't believe that people actually praise someone who's going through this stage in their life.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE84ybCiA_Q the hook is beyond catchy

Worse. They are a defensive team and lost a key defensive anchor.

Can we just ban him now?

u mad your site is turrible? yeah u mad.
