General NBA watching thread 2010-11 edition

[Maringa]

Miami is playing as good as anything I have seen in a while. Totally confident. Even though Dallas beat OKC 4-1...each game was close, and Dallas did not look good except for Dirk and Marion towards the end of the series. I am a little concerned that Terry is back to playoff Terry, and Peja has disappeared. This series is either going to be a grind out series for Dallas, or a quick 4-1 or 4-2 whipping by Miami...

What?

I don't think i've ever felt so down about another teams loss other than a disappointing Mavs loss. I'm not liking this feeling, it better not be something that will happen in the Finals.

Here we go.

F'em

I feel confident against the Heat. James and Wade will get theirs, but overall we have the better team.

What???? Did you even watch this series? Chicago choked away this game, game 4 and if you want to say game 2 they had a good size lead early.

Every game was also close in this series as well.

All these doubters, even on this board! I may be one of few, but I feel very confident against this Heat team. We have the coaching edge and play better as a TEAM. The Heat still look very lost on offense and their defense has been OVERRATED against an OVERRATED offense in the Bulls'.

I like our chances.

Miami can't count on the Mavs choking down the stretch.

I feel as though looking at the way the Heat play we cannot afford to be in the same situation we were in with OKC, being down that much so late in the 4th in both games. Is it too much to ask that we don't only show up for the 4th quarter?

Or completely sucking on offense.

Too much weak sauce in here.

By the way, the NBA Finals are supposed to be difficult with the best two teams in each conference going at it. Still no reason to crap our collective pants five days before the first game.

Derrick Rose single-handedly lost that game in the final 3 minutes. Here is a run-down of what he did:

-Turns the ball over to Wade

-Proceeds to foul Wade on the lay-up attempt and gives up an and-1 chance

-Fouls Wade on a 3-pointer and gives up another and-1

-Turns the ball over while trying to pass to a wide open Kurt Thomas. This led to the LBJ jumper for the Miami lead

-Misses a FT that would have tied the game

-Gets denied on his last second three pointer

Folks, put CJ Watson in those last 3 minutes and the Bulls win that game. Thats how unbelievably bad Rose was in those last 3.

So in the end, he followed up his stellar 8-27 Game 4 performance with an even worse 9-29 Game 4 outing. Do you guys realize, that if he plays just slightly below par, as opposed to sucking like a hoover vacuum, the Bulls are up 3-2 right now?

Guess it's time to close this thread. There aren't any other games around the NBA to watch!

It's sad, cause I like that guy Maringa, but he's been sucking the Heat dry for a good two weeks.
