Wow now Haslem wanna start making jumpshots?

With Bosh out, Haslem is  a Critical role player for the Heat. His baskets were very important today in the 4th Qtr.

He sure was. At least this prolongs the series so the Celtics can have more rest before the EC Finals
And it'll wear the Heat out

Tough to see Miami not going through. :-\

Just seen the highlights from OKC v LA game 4. Some absolutely VITAL play by Perk.

Great block on Kobe at the end of the first half.

Pulls down a strong defensive rebound with the scores tied and 1:36 left in the game - just the sort of rebound the Celtics seem to concede often :-[

Then to finish he scores his only 2 points on an offensive rebound put-back with 1:16 left to put the Thunder up by 2.

Crucial plays by the big fella. Great work.

I think if you are Indiana, you cant really get too down about this loss..

it took a monstrous effort from Both Lebron and wade to avoid going 3-1. The next game in Miami is going to be a dogfight.

I dont think lebron can go for 40 and wade 30 each and every game to win.

Wade cant. As much as I love to joke about Lebron however, he can... thats the scary part, the guys speed, strength, and height combo is unreal. The freak of nature can basically do what he wants out there, I could see a repeat performance like this..

However if his sidekick Wade cools down, the Heat still have no shot. you cant win a game by yourself and the Heat are a very flawed team when the "dynamic duo" isn't doing everything for them

Agreed and you forgot one more crucial key play when Westbrook was scoring down the stretch to bring them back up, he set a HUGE screen on Gasol and Russell blew by for the score. The screen actually caught both Gasol and Kobe and like sandwiched them it was awesome. ;D

Spurs look like they are on a mission. At this point I'll be surprised if they aren't champs this year.

They look good but I want to see how Duncan does with Perk/Collison etc being aggressive with him bumping him down low and Serge roaming the weak side, Westbrook making Tony work on both ends and getting shots right over him when he elevates, which one of their guys will shut KD down he's so long and has been balling. OKC has been playing solid D overall as well.

Spurs may be peaking too soon.

You want to play at your best form in the final rounds. Not the initial ones.

I agree. I think the Clippers are bad. The difference with the Spurs and Clippers is that Spurs play disciplined and smart, Clippers play undisciplined and dumb. The Clippers defense was ATROCIOUS. Overhelping and double teaming on the high post and leaving Duncan open when he cuts. Just dumb. Plus Blake Griffin averaging 5 rebs a game doesn't help lol

Honestly I think the Spurs are lucky the two teams they could have faced aren't going to face them. The Grizzlies and Lakers with all that size would have dominated the Spurs in a series. OKC still can beat them though
