2010-2011 NBA Season and Playoffs Thread

if lebron isnt going to look for his shots, he needs to play the point. let wade run around the floor to open spots, let bosh spot up, and let bron just facilitate.

[Hammer]

just like that. dime for bron, open 16 foot look for bosh... its that easy.

barea starting to get back into the swing, hes getting to the rim and making plays. couple assists, couple makes for barea here in the 3rd already.

and then wade hits a crazy off balance jumper with the foot on the line.

[Hammer]

shawn marion... 4-4 on ugly hook shots, though that was more of a running chuck off the back board that happened to go in.

[Hammer]

wow dirk missed a free throw

[Hammer]

4-5 on ugly marion hook shots... then dwyane wade was generous enough to put brian cardinal on a poster.

[Hammer]

dirk and bron looking mediocre. wade and bosh however, are not... and chandler and marion looking somewhat young again. decent contributions from terry, barea and stevenson as well... heat up 4 after 3.

[Hammer]

dwyane wade TAKING OVER. what a beast... an unbelievable block on a chandler dunk, that wouldve made it a 1 point game, then comes back down the other way with the circus lay up. 4 point swing.

[Hammer]

another unbelievable wade block, but chandler finds the ball and cuts it to 1.

[Hammer]

5:20 to go... crunch time lineups... chalmers, wade, bron, bosh, haslem vs kidd, jet, stevenson, dirk, chandler

heat getting real sloppy with the ball... turnover leads to a terry lay up, then they fumble the ball out of bounds, mavs ball up 1 with 440 to go

and heres the kicker... the last 3 minutes or so... DWYANE WADE has been the basket protector off of picks. bosh, haslem and bron keep staying out on the perimeter.

[Hammer]

chalmers out, miller in... mike miller promptly on cue dribbles it off his leg out of bounds

dirk blocked by bosh, dallas ball with 4:01

actually haslem got it before bosh did... then dirk with the turnover.

[Hammer]

dallas just cannot knock down open shots

[Hammer]

chalmers back in for miller at 2:16, dirk puts dallas up 4 with 2 free throws

[Hammer]

bosh hits 2 free throws, bring it back to 2.... those were the first two points for miami in 5 and a half minutes

[Hammer]

ANOTHER OFFENSIVE BOARD FOR CHANDLER... his knees are working tonight. jet missed another open 3 to lead to it though... dallas by 2 with 35 seconds to go. stevenson misses an open 3. miami rebound... full court pass to wade

kidd fouls wade, going for the tie with 30 seconds to go.

[Kingdom]

love the fit, especially since it opens up more pt for young and speights too. plus ellis can play the off guard, and then cover the weaker backcourt guy... its a decent fit. not sure i see why for gstate though, since they have a million wings as is.

They get a defensive guy. Wright is just a shooter. So is the basketball version of Reggie Williams. Iguodala isn't much of a shooter, but he does everything else well
