Don't be that guy 4/5.

Tough to stop Lebron when he shoots 8/10 from 3.

Dude, I try so hard to level headed in here. But sometimes I just gotta step back and admit that the team I root for is freaking awesome and that if they're healthy nobody in the league is beating them in a 7 game series.

(Don't worry, Wade will almost assuredly get hurt before the playoffs and I will probably be on brown pants alert through the whole playoffs.)

But right now I'm feeling pretty good.

Also, Joakim Noah is a beast and is definitely a top 10 player in this league even if there isn't an ounce of beauty or grace in anything he does. Makes you wonder "what if they kept Deng?"

He is definitely playing like a top 10 player right now. Ridiculous passing.

They are better without Deng. They are playing their best basketball of the season without him....

Warriors/Pacers and Heat/Rockets provided good entertainment last night.

Something has been telling me for a couple months that the Rockets are gonna somehow end up with the championship this year. I didn't watch that Heat game but I would have liked to have seen it. The Rockets have a ton of flaws but none of the "top" teams look all that to me either.

I don't trust their perimeter defense enough outside of Beverly. They could get hot from deep though. The Western Conference Playoffs is going to be all about matchups.

Anyone who says that is an idiot or is looking at him 3-4 years from now when Lebron starts to fade a bit.

Last night's game left me longing for another Heat/Spurs Finals matchup. What a great series last year.

It would have been better if the Spurs could have grabbed that damn offensive rebound!!!

Lebron missed the 3 too badly. Funny how those things work.

Which is why judging entire careers on a single game, which sometimes hinge on a single play, is foolish. Had he made a better shot that went halfway down and popped out, he's probably the biggest underachiever ever with a 1-3 finals record. But he throws up an awful shot and all is well for him.

I thought there was some poor officiating last night, but the Heat came out and just threw up a stinker. It happens, but that's two in a row. It's nothing to panic over, but I'm disappointed Wade didn't show more these last two games.

Absolutely. Could not agree more.

Are you referencing the ESPN article? Because that was based on statistical analysis. You're not arguing with numbers are you? Your entire username is numbers?
