    Fill me in guys...

    controversy?
    heros?
    did Rondo last the whole game?
    I also would say the heat actually beat the celtics at their own game.

      Either way, Memphis seemed to have built their team using BOTH the Draft AND FA, which most would agree is the right way to build a team. Of course you have you're exceptions though LOL.

      Just funny now looking at it because before, many people were calling for Chris Wallace to be fired just because of the Gasol trade alone

      He seems to have made up for that deal now I see.
      Ha, I know what you mean. I was playing some 2K11 using Memphis last night and was thinking about this.

      I don't know if it was luck or some type of master plan but it's sure worked out nicely.

        I agree.

        If they do end up winning it this year they will own the NBA for some time.

          Very true.. But he did miss alot of open 3's tonight. It would help also someone other than Pierce would step up of the Big 4. I can't fault rondo though.

            I thought Rondo would hurt them. And he did at the end of the day. Beside the open layup he missed. Him not being able to shoot at all. Really effected the team towards the end.

                That's the one thing I'm scared of.first they win this year. It's going to be like snow ball effect.

                  As much as I hate to admit this, its pretty scary how quickly they have been able to put it together. I figured at least one seaon and maybe two before Pat Riley would be able to fine tune all the right pieces of this team together to start making some legitimate title runs. Definitely a dynasty in the making unless another super team can be assembled. Dwight Howard Sweepstakes anyone?

                    Not really, although Bosh def turned it around from last game.
                    Kinda, but he blew a huge layup late, all alone under the rim with no one near him.

                    Talk about a lot of defense lol. I think there was a stretch towards the end where both squads combined went something like 1 for 15 or so hehe.

                    Not too sure about that, he had some really open looks where he just couldn't make the shots.

                      I don't know. There's plenty of good (and young) teams in the league right now, plus there's big name free agents coming down the pipe like Dwight and CP3 which will swing things big time assuming Paul is still healthy and neither of them go to Miami, which I don't even see how it would be possible if they weren't getting paid in bread crumbs.

                      Plus Miami has an old *** supporting cast and barely any draft picks or cap space to fill their weaknesses. They'd basically have to trade Bosh to take care of their needs at the 1 and the 5.

                          the only reason Bron was taking Js at the end was because 4 guys were collapsing on him in the paint on every drive

                          The shooters werent hitting... Miller...Bibby wasnt in, Chalmers kept dropping the ball, so he and Wade were doing what they needed to but they need Bosh to be more than a garbage man

                            This is Bosh's first time this far in the playoffs correct?

                            He'll be just fine, he just needs to shake those jitters off he had last game. Based on tonight, he is starting to do that.

                            Between him and Anthony being "garbage men", I think the Heat will be happy with all those offensive boards.
