Dirk is having his Kobe Bryant 2010 closeout game tonight. Hope he turns the switch in the 2nd half or maybe jason terry can keep playing like Ron Artest did in game 7 last year, and bail out Dirk the way Ron did Kobe

This one was for you Mont;)

I'd be shocked if Miami doesn't win tonight. Pleasently shocked, but still shocked

About the 1:10 mark

As someone said, Lebron seemed to be following Wades lead.

Tony Bruno, on his radio talk show, just slammed Lebron (and Wade for that matter) saying they are garbage, trash, classless...apparently for something they did earlier, before the game, when they mocked Dirk by simulating coughing, insinuating that Dirk wasn't really sick...Bruno bashed them pretty good, never heard him that serious before...not that his opinion matters much.

Well people will bash, unless the so called "personal issue" comes out and people feel sympathetic for him not concentrating. The Cowherd brought up some good points today about Lebron being more like Wilt who was naturally talented and didn't have to work hard like MJ did (who was cut from his HS basketball team and only averaged 17 points at UNC while Lebron was dropping 20 in the NBA) so he may need to learn to deal with obstacles. He also mentioned how Bird had two games in the Finals where he only scored 8 points and wasn't the MVP. People build up older players to be bigger than they were and can be too hard on newer ones.

As for the Larry Bird thing. He was a great player but he doesn't have anywhere near the physical talent that lebron does. Lebron should roll out of bed and score double digits just off of his size. And to be fair, that was Bird's 2nd year when he scored 8 points. This is Lebron's 8th year and second finals appearance. No excuse

Lebron first points of the 4th comes with 30 sec left in the game. People will say "but he had a triple double". Yea but when it counted he shrunk AGAIN. i don't know how much proof is needed about this dude. And what's ironic is that the best playoff performance i've ever seen is Lebron James of all people, in game 5 against the Pistons in 07. So i know it's in him somewhere, but it comes out VERY few and far between

tough call against lebron on that charge

nevermind

I see Wade isn't on the court now. Did i miss something? Was there an official announcement that he's out or is he just in the back getting treatment? Hate to see any team lose their star in the playoffs, let alone the finals. hope he can come back
