Defense has been the staple of the Miami Heat’s success all season long, so its fitting that their defense would continue to make them an incredibly hard team to beat in the NBA Finals. In a game that resembled a contest from their Eastern Conference Finals series against Chicago, the Heat were able [...]
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are more than just flashy scorers. [...] Chris Bosh has had many a low point this season. From being the de facto scapegoat anytime the Heat went into a slump to personally admitting to being overwhelmed emotionally by the Boston crowd in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals, Bosh has received his fair share of criticism. At times, Bosh’s play has warranted [...] The Chicago Bulls have had their share of exciting finishes in the post-season. Perhaps that’s not a good thing, as several of thier late game victories were the product of “just in the nick of time” comebacks against teams that the Bull shouldn’ t have been losing to but you can’t argue with [...] The Miami Heat needed to win game two in order to prevent going home to a late arriving crowd down 2-0 to a team as good as the Chicago Bulls and they completed their goal with an 85-75 victory in a defense battle that would make Tom Thibodeau proud if his team didn’t wind [...] Many folks that watched the Miami Heat-Boston Celtics in the second round of the playoffs noted just how good the two team’s defenses were. Miami used their athletic advantage to rotate quickly around the perimeter while the Celtics displayed their classic defensive effort albeit in a futile effort. Well, those who were ecstatic about [...] This Miami Heat-Chicago Bulls Eastern Conference Finals match-up seems just right. Even more so than a Heat-Celtics battle for a chance to go to the NBA Finals, this pairing of teams seems like it’s the right way for things to be decided out East. It’s a battle of good vs. evil, or at least [...] After dominating the fourth quarter and overtime periods against the Boston Celtics on their home floor in game four, the Miami Heat came right back and beat the Celtics in crunchtime again. Only this time when Lebron James put the finishing touches on the Celtics in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter, he [...] The reaction to Chris Bosh‘s spectacular game four performance against the Celtics was one of utter disbelief. Folks were shocked that Bosh was able to come up with a big time game in such an important game. While I myself was a bit surprised that Bosh was able to prevent Kevin Garnett from [...] It’s becoming increasingly popular for people to proclaim game for for a team with a 2-1 series advantage a must-win. Whether it’s the possibility of the opposition gaining momentum, the great opportunity to establish a dominant 3-1 lead or the fear of resetting the series to a best of three contest, that fourth game [...] |
