You really think so? I thought Bosh was average for the majority of the game. Wade went missing towards the end and they became solely reliant upon LeBron suddenly finding a winning touch.

I thought Boston played really well, Garnett didn't step up offensively though and that proved to be the difference, IMO.

Look at the stats, combined they banged in 83 of the 98 team points I think, and that included all the points in OT. All three had bad spells in the game, but at vital times when the Celtics were either edging ahead or back to level one of them made a big shot to keep tabs. Wade's 3 pointer in OT which was ruled out to be a 2 pointer was the actual gamebreaker, after that it was panic stations for Boston.

Agreed about Garnett, sombebody on Yahoo joked that Shaq has had to go to hospital with stomach cramps and they found Garnett hiding inside Shaq's stomach !

Story of the season for the Heat, I still swear that if he wasn't so hated he'd have more case for MVP.

I hope the Bulls tear the Heat a new one in the conference finals. Although I doubt that happens. My biggest hope is that the Mavericks or Thunder give them a rinsing in the final.

Why so much hate for the Heat? Everyone seems to love the Celtics but they pretty much did exactly the same with their big 3?

A) Because of the history between us.

B) They're cocksure, cocky attitude,

I can understand the history bit, their cocky attitude is pretty much the same across the league though.

I don't mind Miami just cos I'm a big fan of LeBron. Like I said I followed Griffin with the Clips it was similar with LeBron. Following him with the Cavs is what got my interested.

Who's your personal bet for the Championship now?

COME ON HEAT !!!!

LETS PUT THE CELTICS TO THE SWORD AND END THEIR SEASON TONIGHT !!

I'm gonna say OKC. I think Perkins and Ibaka will raise their game once they get past Memphis to Championship level, while Durant is just running along quietly without much hype. I can just see him exploding in the finals.

The Mavericks, why? The deepest team in the playoffs.

Chandler- Haywood
Dirk- Stojakovic
Marion- Brewer
Stevenson- Terry
Kidd- Barea

Was only wondering, nothing sinister!

I was telling you why. Not asking why pal.

ha, fair point. Hadn't woken up yet, Sorry!

I reckon Miami, I think getting past the Celtics is a big thing for LeBron. But its pretty open, I can see any of the remaining teams winning.

Lebronnnnn Jaaaaaaaaaaames Threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

As a bulls fan, before the play offs, if they would have said we were facing the heat in the conference finals, I would have said bring it on. I think we beat them 3/3 in the regular season, but since the play offs, heat have all of a sudden turned it on big time, and we've kinda just pulled through to beat pacers and hawks. I dont know if it will be enough. D Rose is dragging us through these play offs, and with the exception of Boozer in the last few hawks games, any other points are coming from Rose.

He's the man to do it. But then Miami have 2/3 men to do it for them. We need to turn up. Hopefully a Bulls-Mavs final!


oh and how good is the grizzlies-thunder series. 3-3 going into the 7th game! best series of the play offs so far!

Everybodys espn working ok?

No, keeps saying i have to order a subscription or something?



My streams are working fine, Got to love Veetle.

But i am not loving this game so far, chicago on top, Spoelstra has gone for a small line-up and the Bulls are killing us on the boards at both ends. I'm surprised the game is as close as it is.

Hammered.

i turned off after the 3rd quarter, had an early start today but could see the way it was going, the bulls were all over the heat, going to be a long series for the heat.

Dirk Nowitski take a bow son.

LETS GO HEAT !

Miami finally working hard against the Bulls and making a game of it, good play by both teams, Miami's defense was better, but once again, they can not rebound for buttons.

Miami had more rebounds than the Bulls?

Definately tilted in Miami's favour now. Anthony + Haslem contributing big last couple of games.

Still think LeBron should have had more of a shout for MVP!

Why is Noah so inconsistent? I don't get him. I remember him against the Hawks, there would be times through the game where everything would be his on the offensive boards, but then I remember Pachulia coming on and he went missing. Similarly, in Game 1, he was dominating the glass and hooking the ball out to the perimeter for open looks, but now, the only thing he's offering is passing at the moment IMO. Similarly, why does Boozer look like a force one minute, only to take pathetic jumpers the next?

The series is far from over and I still think Chicago will beat the Heat, but they have to pick up and start playing to their strengths. Their offence is unbelievably predictable, their shooters are missing good looks and Miami's average centres/forwards are somehow getting the upper hand. IMO, Asik and Gibson need to play more.
