NBA Finals

Featured Replies

Posted

I know there's a few avid NBA fans on here so I thought I'd make a thread for the finals.

Miami have made a good start. The game 1 stats look fairly even but amazingly, the Heat easily outscored the Mav's in bench points - something of which has been their Achilles' heel during the season. Got them over the line in the end.

Discuss game 2.

Hooray!!

LeBron didn't win!

When are people going to learn...

You can play two stars in one team - but they can't play the same role.

I would trade out Dwade...

That's all that matters really.

LeFail not getting his ring.

I wouldn't have gone after LeFail at all. Heat should have waited till the 2012 FA.

Imagine D-Wade and Dwight paired together or even CP3 and Wade...

Wade can't be traded ...he's untouchable like Kobe is to the Lakers.

I feel sick to the stomach at the thought of Dwight leaving Orlando. How do you fill that hole? I'm sure Miami (and many others) would love him.

BVI,

I'm assuming you're an Orlando fan. Bill Plaschke, admittedly a Lakers man and a writer for the LA Times, proposed this LA-Magic deal about a week ago:

Basically, it's Bynum and Odom for Howard and Redick. Salaries work. Highly, highly doubt it would happen - for it to go down, Orlando would have to be convinced they were going to lose D12 for nothing. But you could do a lot worse than Bynum and Odom in return. You're not going to get a better center in any other deal for him I'd imagine.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
