Ugh, Brandon Roy??

 

We talked about the Pacers' possible epic choke job. The Mavs actually followed through.

I'm thrilled for Brandon Roy. What a performance.

And I'm ecstatic the Mavs lost. Hate that team.

 

I remember that '03 collapse well. They were actually up 31 in the fourth and were outscored 44-13 and it went to overtime, where they naturally lost.

 

Pretty crazy ending for the Sixers, Holliday and Williams hit threes on consecutive possessions to go up two with 8.1 seconds to play. Lets' see who takes the last shot for the Heat.

 

Lebron went for the tie and missed. Sixers are going to stay alive.

 

I haven't kept up with the Hornets-Lakers series. Do the Hornets still have that foolproof formula for winning the series in place? I'm not sure what it is -- something about having more points than the Lakers at the final horn.

 

LeBron fails in the clutch ... again. I'm shocked. I don't know how Wade isn't pissed after it's proven time after time again this season that James isn't the answer in the final seconds.

 

Upon seeing gray Charles Oakley, my wife said, "It looks like he's not working so hard in the Garden anymore."

Then again, she could have said that about all of the current Knicks team.

 

Agreed, biggest mystery with this Heat team might be why they keep giving the ball to Lebron instead of Wade in clutch situations. Wade has a history of being a killer in the clutch, Lebron has a ....umm ...different history. Yet, when it counts most, they keep giving it to the choker instead of the killer.

Lebron might be the better overall player, fine, let him carry the load the first three quarters. But in Quarter 4 that should be Wade's team.

 

And I thought the Heat had actually developed that somewhat during the last few weeks, letting LeBron build up the first three quarters and then letting Wade close it out, tough game or not. I guess they decided otherwise.

Either way, this crap needs to get resolved if they have any hopes of winning a title this year, or for years beyond for that matter.

 

How about the Atlanta Hawks being up 3-1 on the Magic?

 

How about Kobe looking old tonight...zero points with 3 minutes left in the half.
