Yeah ... I'm not sure what's going on with LeBron.  It would be one thing if he was missing shots, but he's actually shooting well in this series.  He's just not being aggressive offensively.  At all.  Wade is carrying this team ... again.  You could totally see it in his effort in the second half last night and his near plea for help in the 4th quarter.
I'd like to see LeBron attack in Game 5 ... but he should've done that in Game 4.  I don't know what to expect anymore.  The only positive from last night is that we only lost by three.  As badly as they played, the Heat should've been blown out.  I still like our chances, but a few things have to change.

Dallas needs Dwight Howard!

I think just about every team does.

 ;)

Miami doesn't.   >:(

Sure they do.  As much as I love Joel Anthony, center is their weakest position.

Jeopardy time:

"Through the last three 4th quarters of this Finals series (that's the final 12 minutes of each game), I have only scored nine TOTAL points."



I'm guessing that you're referring to LeBron, but like many other misguided people, you're not giving him credit for everything else that he's been doing in the four quarters.  He's creating easy offense for others and playing lock down defense.  Players that he has directly guarded in the fourth have only scored a total of FIVE POINTS.  There's much more to playing winning basketball than scoring.

But I'm still rooting for Dirk to win one.

I wouldn't mind seeing Dirk eventually get a ring ...  I just don't want him to do it against Miami.

What an incredible game, this Finals has been the most entertaining I can remember in some time. I don't think I even care who wins, I just want to see them keep going at it like this for 7 games.

That game was like a punch square in the nuts ... made even worse by seeing it in person.  It's still bothering me now.  Ugh.

Heatles!

Neal, how was it?



It was awesome.  The Arena was going nuts, especially during the 4th quarter.  I had a great time.  Worth every penny.  Here's hoping I have a similar experience tomorrow night at game 2!

I have DirecTV for television and a cell phone.  No landline.  I use Road Runner for my internet connection.

I still can't believe that the Heat managed to pull that one out.  Wow!
I've purchased tickets for games 1 and 2 and will be flying to Florida on Tuesday.  Can't wait!

Looking forward to a spirited match-up tonight, Bulls are going to bring it.

Agreed.  I don't think the Heat will close out the Bulls tonight (though I obviously hope they do).  The Madhouse is going to be crazy.

Bulls and OKC are nice stories too, but they arrived too early. They have not paid their playoff dues yet, IMO. See you guys over the next few years.

Don't disagree with that statement, but who aside from Wade has actually paid their playoff dues on the Heat?

Though he hasn't won a championship, LeBron has been to the Finals and played in quite a few playoff series in his career.  Haslem has a title.  Bibby has been in the playoffs a ton throughout his career.

I got the helmeted Thor and Destroyer from wave 2 today.  A buddy of mine ordered a case.

Looking forward to the Bulls/Heat matchup...Chitown pwned them in the regs season, but it's a new deal now.


Yes, they beat the Heat during the regular season, but then again ... so did the Celtics.  The Bulls won the three games by a total of 8 points.  In the first game, LeBron was sitting and Bosh went out in the 4th quarter, in the second game, Bosh had his infamous 1-18 performance (ugh), and the third game was the even more infamous "Crygate".  Just as a note, this is not the same Heat team.  That being said, Chicago scares the hell out of me.  They have home court advantage, a ridiculous defense, and D-Rose.  Of course I want to see the Heat win, but this is going to be a long series regardless.  I'm looking forward to it.

No need to apologize to me, guys.  I know all too well that absolutely no one is rooting for this team to win.

Local Target reset the action figure aisle and stocked Green Lantern, Captain America and Transformers: DotM figures.  the CA figures looked okay, for the three flavors of Cap and one Winter Soldier.  WS probably looked the best.

I checked out the movie CA, assuming it was the movie version, with the helmet and it looks like it should be an okay figure but all of them on the shelf had terrible paint on the eyes.  All but one also looked like the left leg was screwed up by the bubble insert.

The leg was turned, which is allowed by the hip joint, but they also looked like they had the kneed joint all fouled up as well.  So, for $7.99, I passed.

   E...

If the case you saw contained three Caps and Winter Soldier (wave 1), then you didn't see the movie Cap.  He premiers in wave 2.
