Some Observations after Game 2:

-Tony Parker should get an Enima Award for that acting job on the Chalmers flagrant

-We saw a LeMAN take a bunch a boys to school tonight

-Heat have extra motivation most likely feeling like they were robbed in Game 1 and should be really be up 2-0 in this series, and dont like hearing everybody already having given the trophy to the Spurs. Look for the Heat to go up 3-1 and close it out in 6

Eh, I'll give Parker the benefit of doubt on that one.

Maybe it shouldn't have been a flagrant foul.

He wins the award on the play where he was stripped. He did his best to flop on that play, but no one bought it lol. The refs awarded the Spurs the ball with .8 seconds left even though it should of been Heat ball.
 
Tell you who's a good actor - Wade. Ginobili went for the ball, wasn't anywhere near Wade's face, and Wade acted like he'd been jabbed in the eye.

That Chalmers foul was a kidney punch, and flagrant. You ever have one of those you know what it feels like. Parker wasn't acting at all. IMO.
 
The entire game was tight, Lebron ain't no Jordan...

I'd say that in reverse. Lebron does whatever he wants whenever he wants to and he can do it fast or slow and methodically. There ain't a thing anyone can do about it. He can effectively defend anyone from Parker to Duncan and he can hit any shot he wants to take at any time against any defender. He can play inside, outside, or in between. To date there hasn't been a player as good as him and that is certainly not coming from a fan of his. He could probably average 40 a game if he were more of a ball hog.

C'mon now, James is probably(most likely) the best in the NBA right now, I'll give you that. But, to compare(state that he is better) him to Jordan is a joke. Michael changed the game as we see it today, has LeBron done that? Not hardly.

James uses more brute force than anything to dominate. He is not a finesse player with tons of skill like Jordan, Magic, Hakeem, Dr. J, Bird, etc, etc. To put it bluntly, James is not even in the top 10 of all-time. He may very well get there by the end of his career though but to proclaim him the throne is extremely premature.
 
We'll take a game in Miami, this series will be decided next Sunday when it's 2-2

Probably? You lost all credibility with that initial statement as you exposed the hate driven agenda you have for the guy. There isnt anybody even close to LeBron and its so obviouos that only a hater would say what post what you posted.

No, LeBron isn't Jordan, but that is okay. Jordan was fantastic. Nothing wrong with not being him. Jordan also played in a lot of tight playoff games during his career.

I think it's apples and oranges. You can say the same thing about EITHER player. Jordan ain't LeBron and LeBron ain't Jordan. James can play 4/5 spots on ANY team. He's the most complete player I've ever seen and one of the most physically gifted individuals. Jordan is a better scorer and finesse player. If James isn't top 10 of all time, why are there some many comparisons with other NBA legends then?

He's clearly the best and the entire world knows it. There is no "probably" lol.
 
What I like about Lebron is that he really does try and make the correct decisions and does not let his ego take over completly. That is so rare anymore.

I agree and yet, he'll still get criticized for that. He drives, penetrates, kicks it out to the wing man for a wide open 3. If he the shot is made, awesome decision. If the shot is missed, LeBron flaked and should of taken the layup with 3 guys draped all over him. It's insane. His decision making skills have improved BIG time, but he won't get a lot of credit for it.

Or more specifically the continual defenders of Jordan always saying Lebron isnt as good as Michael? As if they repeat it enough they might even convince themselves its actually true.
