Miami @ Boston

[Bill the Butcher]

Is this the first game of the season or the first game of the ECF? I love it.

Bosh has quickness. But when it's the playoffs, he's going to disappear on offense.

[Orenthal]

I get that warm feeling in my heart when I see Shaq throwing it down hard. Bron misses the Defensive 3 second throw... Ah, just like the Cleveland days...

[Bill the Butcher]

How do they choose who shoots the tech FT? Because if LeBron says he will and Wade isn't stopping him, I'm LOLing.

[idoctribefan]

Miami has a basketball team?

[Loo]

Miami has a basketball team?

Yeah, they got uniforms and everything. It's really great.

[Dellucci TailGator]

I'm not stupid enough to think the Heat aren't going to be great.

But for one night, it would feel good if they keep sucking like this.

[JoJo White]

Lebron doesn't look too happy - Windhorst may have to give him 2 blowjobs tonight instead of just one.

[Bill the Butcher]

Fratello just said "Boston doesn't want Cleveland fouling Shaq that early..."

Not funny, Mike... not funny.

[aoxo1]

Look at them share the ball and rack up the assists! Unselfish! They already know how to play together from the Olympics! LeBron is a lock to average a triple double!

[Ziner]

This is awesome. That's all. I hope they score less than 50.

[aoxo1]

The Heat body language is just terrible. Like they expected to roll over everyone just by showing up.

[motherscratcher]

Christ, reading through this thread might convince me to turn this game on.

[Triple-S]

sooo...lebron just elbowed paul pierce in the neck,,

[daddywags]

So I flip to the game twice due to my inability to watch a football game with dark blue players against a dark blue field - who allows that? - and both times I see youknowwho run over a defender in the open court and get a blocking call. So I take a look at the game stats and he's got no fouls. No favoritism in that sport baby, for sure.

It was a lot easier to accept when he wore wine and gold.

btw, I jinxed away the Celtic lead. Sorry.

[Bill the Butcher]

This is a good game. Love seeing Boston being Boston... for once.

[Triple-S]

still feel like I've fallen into some alternate universe and it feels weird watching lebron play for another team..



maybe there's some badass alternate earth where the Tribe were bought by Steinbrenner in the 70's, Art Modell died in 1965, The immaculate reception is ruled illegal and LeBron is with a healthy Michael Redd, Carlos Boozer and are raising chanpionship banner number 3 tonight.

[Ziner]

Lebron's new sidekicks just posted a -35. Lets just go ahead and jump the gun and say Lebron destroys the game's of other scorers.

Too soon?

The more LeIso I see the happier I am.

[OldDawg]

Shoot. Wade and Bosh combine to go 7-27.
Now the pressure will be on Riley to surround LBJ with some better players.

[OldDawg]

And LBJ has 3 assists and 4 boards.
All the "experts" predicted he would be the facilitator. That his numbers would drop as he set up his great teammates.

Wonder if the Boston guys asked him how his elbow was feeling.

[Hikohadon]

One thing to take heart from: LeBitch will never play or try as hard as he did tonight to win.

And he still failed.

[Madre Hill, Superstar]

Now the pressure will be on Riley to surround LBJ with some better players.

Don't forget throwing the coach under the bus too.

"What should I do? Be who you want me to be?"

[British_Pharaoh]

14 TOs between Wade and the other guy

ha

[Gradysmanldy]

I'm not stupid enough to think the heat wont win a ton of games, but we should really start an office-esque squares pool for the date that Erik Spolestra gets fired and Riles returns to the bench.

[fundamentals]

Same show, different uniform. Miami will win its share of games but unless they get some additional front court help, can't see them taking it all, just my two cents.

It's THE 2 cents.

They cannot compete down low with Garnett, Perkins, Davis, Howard, Boozer, Gasol, and Bynum. Bosh isn't that kind of player.

And Ric Bucher said it best. You want to beat the Heat? Keep the TOs to a minimum and play half court defense, because all they can do is 1v1.

[papacass]

Miami will learn to play better as the season goes on. Right now, no one knows what anyone is supposed to be doing. But it still doesn't mask the fact that A) there is only one ball and B) LBJ will have it most of the time.

I can already hear it: "Erik Spoelstra has no idea how to coach an offense. He's clueless. He's a horrible coach."

I hope Roker has Spoelstra on speed dial, so he can call him up in a month and say "I feel for ya, man."

[Orenthal]

Good to see some of the negatives people around he were spouting are getting some traction nationally. Also the retard bandwagon jumper from the LeBron era that has decided to be a real fan and stick around will is finally seeing the bigger picture.
