That following game was the turning point for the Heat's success. LeBron finally stopped playing second fiddle to Wade. It became LeBron's team with Wade filling in as a secondary option, no more co alpha dogs. Two titles, seven consecutive series wins and counting later, it's been a fun ride.
 
That's pretty good, everyone. We made it almost 200 posts before this thread began devolving into another classic LeBron is a little *****/No he isn't argument. When do we start the Spoelstra debate?

Posting facts isn't really arguing.
 
reverse psychology strikes again above comment was with thunder down 5 late in reg.

We have to remind ourselves why you shouldn't fire a coach that has great success. Let's look at George Karl. 56 wins last year and now he got fired and the Nuggets didn't even sniff the playoffs. I can see Karl doing good with that Warriors lineup if Jackson gets canned.

I think Karl would be a really good fit in Minnesota. That's a fanbase that would be happy with just making the playoffs, playoff success is not a requirement for that job.
 
Anyone else think that if the Rockets had Kevin Love they would be the perfect team for Fred? So many threes, hate shooting long twos, etc.
 
wow. Incredible exchange at the end to the Portland/Houston game.
 
This rockets Portland series is the exact opposite of the bulls series...watchable.

I've enjoyed every single Western Conference series better than any of the Eastern Conference series. Six OT games in just the Houston-Portland and Memphi-OKC series already.
