    Great pair of series in both conferences going on. Glad that both the Thunder and Celtics tied it up 2-2. It'll be interesting to see which team drops a game at home first.

    Lebron tricked us into thinking he was clutch for a minute when he made that 3. Then we witnessed the last possession and he reminded us why he could never win a ring on his own.

    I do think he's getting mentally tougher. Just nowhere near what other superstars are.

    ECF and WCF share the same path.

    The only positive I got out of today was seeing Bosh back.

    HAHA THE HEAT SUCK.

    The only one I don't mind is Bosh. He's one intelligent-ass motherfucker.

    Other than that, GO CELTICS!

    On the other hand, Eric isn't - because the Heat totally didn't need Bosh in the closing moments.

    Even if the Heat don't tie the series tomorrow, you have got to give it to James because he has been playing fantastically these Playoffs.
    The NBA has statistics up for James upon elimination and he averages better than if he wasn't in many areas (and visa-versa) - but I don't think he is the key for the Heat at le momento.

    Did you just use "le"?

    If I didn't already want the Heat to fail miserably tonight, I'd want them to fail now.

    GOOD EFFORT, GOOD WORK.

    Yeah, I did, stop nitpicking.

    And Miami avoided a minor (major for the haters) collapse of their own.

    45 points and 15 rebounds - they'll still find a way to hate.

    Collapse as in winning 20 in a row and being arguably the best team ever if they win out, to losing 4 in a row in pathetic fashion and not even making it to the finals.

    They're one of only several teams to go down 4 straight after having a 2-0 lead, along with 20 straight wins behind them.

    Also, I found this to be a great article on LeBron.

    Lebron and the Heat were seen as underdogs coming into Game 6, which put very little pressure on him. When the pressure mounts, his game diminishes. It has always been the case. If things get close in Game 7, Wade, the real superstar, will need to close out if they want any chance to make it to the finals. James will almost be a guaranteed no show. Lebron is one of the best frontrunners ever, but he can't handle pressure.
