    Whats the predictions for Coach Spo if the Heat get bounced by the Pacers then ? You know speculation over him and breaking up the big 3 will run rampant every off season for as long as they dont win a ring

    I would sack him if I was Pat Riley. One of the worst coaches in the league.

    Lebron shoulda gone to Chicago and built a dynasty with Rose.

    Miami should just play Bosh if it's a not-so-serious injury. He's probably better crippled than Pittman, Anthony, Turiaf and Curry combined.

    18-point lead in the 3rd quarter and the Celtics just decide to stop playing hard and going for rebounds. Bunch of pensioners goddamn. They're not good enough to just stop playing and still expect to win.

    His rotations don't make sense some times.(Ie sitting Lebron in the 4th quarter when Miami are losing and the game is still in reach.) He doesn't seem to trust Lebron at end of game situations which is strange seeing as he is their best player. Wade + Lebron don't seem to respect him that much.

    I don't know if Rose & Lebron would have really worked out that much better. I think Lebron is at his best playing the point forward, acting as the focus of the offense as well as the primary distributor. Plus you'd have the same issues in late game situations, who makes the big play at the end? Rose is pretty clutch but Lebron is still the better player.

    I think Lebron would do best with guys like Z-bo, Dwight, Harden around him - guys who make big plays and can score if necessary but don't constantly require the ball.

    Yea I agree he's drawn up some pretty bad late-game plays lately. Looks like he's been brainwashed by the whole "Lebron gave me change for a dollar" talk.

    Pretty weird that the Clippers and Lakers both at home in the same night and the Clippers have back to back playoff games

    Jesus Christ, Spurs are just steamrolling through everyone. Amazing.

    They'll win it all. OKC in 6. Whoever they face out of the EC in 4. Duncan wins 5th ring.

    I was thinking earlier how if Miami go out then the finals could be pretty ugly whether its OKC or San Antonio

    Not forgetting Lakers games is also back to back. So by the end of tommorrows game, it would have been used 3 days straight for 4 times. Surely that's risking injury? No?

    They are playing hockey there as well tomorrow before the Lakers game, if it overruns too much they will move the Lakers to Monda, think of the traffic problems from one set of fans leaving as another are arriving it would be stupid, here is a link about it http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/olymp...s-doubleheader

    I like Doc but I definitely woudnt put him in the same class as coaches who have got a lot of rings and have built dynasties, he is young though so maybe in the future
