SooperHoopers last post was on the money, he forgot to circle one thing though, D Wades name.
This right here isnt going to cut it, the "second option" on this team, a guy whos expected to put up 20+ a game cant play up and down games like this. Its not like the offense for Miami will come from elsewhere. The guy has been overall abysmal these playoffs and not a word has been said about it. Hes shooting 58% for the series yet only is getting 15.75 points a game? One game above 20 throughout the course of the playoffs? Even past the stats he just looks lost out there, hes become one of the paperweights who just want to stand around and watch LeBron play. I'm sure if he started asking for the ball he'd get it more.

Hurts to say it, especially about my favorite player, but Wade definitely looks like he's just going through the motions. This whole playoffs he's just been lulling out there and it's hurting the team. Dude has GOT to wake up man.

This is why I mess with Lance. And this same mentality is what makes Lance somewhat successful at times.lol Lance is a boss. Period.You can tell LeBron just HATES Lance Stevenson
I love it cause Lance is one of the few dudes in the NBA that are talented and crazy enough to go at em like he has been. He has zero respect for LeBron, doesn't like him, thinks he's better than him and has a place in his brain that's only reserved for the likes of him and Ron Artest.

1) Miami haven't played up to potential all playoffs. They're getting a ridiculous pass because LeBron James has been playing well and they've squeaked out wins. Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and Coach Spo have been getting beat all playoffs, about time they get ridiculed for it. They're a championship or bust team, no excuses.
2) This series reminds me of the 2009 Lakers vs Rockets or the 1998 Bulls vs Pacers series. Like you know it's going to seven games but you know the more talented team is going to win.
3) Looking ahead, Coach Pop is going to out coach Spoelstra - that's for certain, whether they win or not depends but the Spurs are going to be a matchup nightmare if Tony Parker plays like he has been playing.

I bet West is the only one who gets fined for flopping... The golden boy will never be at fault.
David Stern is about to retire

Well see. Gotta beat Indy first though lol.
Pop is a much better coach than Spo. But I feel like the Spurs play at a pace that we are better suited for. Timmy D will feast. Hope our guards can contain TP.

Just like he did in Cleveland, if Lebron wants to win, he's got to put the whole team on his back. Right now, there is no "Big 3." It's just a Big 1.

Can't wait to see Skip and Stephen A. give Wade another pass today on First Take.
HE ISN'T 100 PERCENT SKIP, THE MAN IS IN PAIN!
:x When it comes to Kobe, Melo, Durant, even Z-Bo...its no excuses in playoff basketball, because "Everyone is banged up in the playoffs," but when it comes to Wade...
"HE ISN'T 100 PERCENT...GIVE THE MAN A BREAK! HE'S A GREAT FATHER, HE'S DEALT WITH FATHERHOOD THE LAST 2 YEARS LIKE NO MAN EVER COULD."

Julius F. Wrek

Poor guy, no help yet again.
Just because the Pacers shot 6 more FT's in game 3 and 7 more in Game 4 doesn't mean its rigged for the Pacers. If anything the discrepancy should be a lot wider considering Miami is more of a perimeter team than Indiana. And secondly,. no Miami fans should ever complain about calls.

I don't see how y'all watch First Take, regardless of the main subject or story.
Except for the occasional round table discussion.
As much as NBA refs don't really call travel on anyone I'm still surprised they made that call. And it was incorrect, to boot
Lance is the kind of live wire you need on your team. Glad to see the improvements he has made to his game and dude has obviously put in lots of work w/ training in workouts because he seems to have more bounce and another step that he did not have earlier on in his career
