The Heat looked good tonight. Are they going to win it all?

They need Bosh to beat the teams in the West.. But even if he was healthy, the Heat need an actual center

My guess is that the Spurs or the Thunder are likely to beat the Eastern Representative.

I will watch. I thought for sure the Heat had it in the bag last year. Curious to see if they will blow it again.

[jenks]

San Antonio and OKC is getting good.

I hope not.

Lebron with a big 3 to tie it.  Garnett called for a weak foul as Rondo was driving for a layup.  All tied up with 21 seconds left

Not a good shot for Miami to win.  Headed to OT

[PhatMack19]

Boston wins to tie the series at 2 games each!!

Spolstra needs to go. He gets out coached just about every game.

[CRUSHCOACH]

The Celtics pull off a shocer in Miami !!! I love it. To many individuals playing for themselves on Miami.

  Gotta agree with Rizon though Doc Rivers coached circles around Spolstra.

[Let’sGetAlong]

Rivers, The Indiana Coach, Carlisle last year. The Heat look like they have no idea what's going on when they try to run a play.

I think Spoelstra is simply a convenient scapegoat.  He has access to one of the best coaches ever in Pat Riley.  Also, if he had the best record in the East this year, made it to the NBA finals last year, and is in the semi finals this year, I find it hard to declare him a bad coach.  Give Boston credit.  Spoelstra didnt lose this game, the Celtics won it.

[Let’sGetAlong]

Boston is a good team. So was Dallas last year. To me it's simple, when the Heat have to run an offense and they can't get fast break points...they can't score consistently. In my opinion the talent took them to finals last year and the conference finals this year. DWade closed out games with Riley on the bench and LeBron did better at closing out when he was in Cleveland. The last 2 minutes of close games the team looks lost and I  think that's on the coach. If the players are missing open shots and the plays are well executed then okay, but they look completely lost. I bet if you put Phil, Riley, or any top level coach on that bench they win last year and they would win it again this. Just my opinion though.

[Let’sGetAlong]

I will say this and I've said it from the beginning. LeBron should have went to Chicago. Miami was the wrong choice for him. No Center and No Point (unless he's playing it)...hard to win without those two.

[PhatMack19]

The Spurs are getting hosed on some calls.  The Jackson T was bogus and the last couple of fouls were weak. 

This is the playoffs.  Let them play!!

[PhatMack19]

Harden is flopping all over the court.  I feel like I'm watching soccer

[king]

Thunder goes to the Finals

I bet people in Seattle are pissed!!
