Rose being gassed is not a health issue. Last time I checked all players went through the same 82 games last year. If the team is not good enough and he needs to carry them that is not ahealth issue. I have to apologize since I was not aware Noah had a sprained ankle in last years ECF. He still seemed to play at a high level, I guess I will have to go back and re watch the games.
Omar was out but he is not pivotal to that series man. That's like me saying the reason we lost to Dallas last year was cause Haslem was not fully healthy. Come on now we are all smarter than that.
And if the entire team faded away on the spotlight then that does not speak too highly of the character of your players. This is the main reason people have been criticizing Lebron for since he dissapeared in the finals last year and waiting for him to get it done. Anyways I do not want animosity with Bulls fans I actually hope they reach playoffs healthy next season because it is much more enjoyable that way.

O.J. Simpson.



What is it you immediately thought of? The trial and murder. Thats what. You didn't even think of his career or accomplishments or that he was a hall of famer and set so many records for running backs in the NFL.

Bottom line is, I hope my kids don't look up to lebron, because he is NOT a good role model. Players who have accomplished less in the sport have accomplished so much more outside of the court. I'd rather have my kids look up to Rajon Rondo, Ty Lawson, Danillo, chris paul and blake griffin, and especially derrick rose.

Oh wait, Rajon has already accomplished more than lebron in the sport.

Lebron will always be the punk kid with too much ego from akron.

this is where you messed up man. i think you are taking this too personally(i dunno why. its a discussion of basketball) and when you are the first to resort to a personal attack of others, that tells me you may not possess the maturity required to engage in a debate/discussion about professional sports. I would like you to apologize for resorting to a personal attack of another member. As this is not the type of behavior we condone here at www.the370z.com

Flaming is against the rules. Keep it about basketball, and keep it civil.

X2 and MJ and Pippen were the best bull players after that all seem inferior.

Well all the hating can stop to a degree. The whole thing I liked about the Lebron hate was the basis was on he guaranteed not 5 not 6 not 7. But yet on their first year of the Miami Big 3 he could not deliver and faded in last years Finals just like he did in the Playoffs when he was with Cleveland. With that said you have to give him some due in the fact that he had a hand in the Heat winning their first championship with him on the team. You can say a lot to try and take away from that fact but that fact remains.

Now OKC is a young team and have showed that during this series with several mental mistakes. And they can still play with the Heat with it coming down to the final possession to determine the game. They aren't going anywhere and I expect Durant to get his first championship in the coming years. Barring a miracle comeback and gets it this year of course.

I am hoping they can at least push the series back to OKC and make a run just like they did with San Antonio.

The MJ comparison is insane until the end of his career to see where he stacks up.

very true indeed, they still have not grasped the nba finals floor experience. Miami has already been to the finals before, so they know what to expect. I like what Magic Johnson said in the post game rec cap, "Durant shouldn't take this loss as a means to quit, he is young and had plenty of time ahead of him, he needs to work on what he can do better, and get his team on the right path to victory to win a NBA finals win next year". Durant is no slacker though, he is averaging the same pts% as LBJ although in the post season (other than the San Anotonio series) that went down. I think the team def needs to have more offensive premise, I see westbrook and Durant making many of the shots. Harden and Sefolsha,(spelled wrong i know) need to score more buckets. Did you see the stats the other day for the team vs durant and westbrook?? They combined had 71 points, while the rest of the team, Ill say that again the rest of the team only had 27. Thats just unacceptable, especially in a finals series.
