I don't think Spo expected Lebron to be that wide open when he drew up the play.

 

[drewsone]

If he had missed then this thread would have exploded with 15 pages saying he choked lol

 

[seymore cake]

I don't care if that was mj or kobe. That was not a clutch play.

That was a bad defensive play by the pacer and it was a lucky wide open layup by James. You don't need any real special skill to make that wide open uncontested layup.

Well he could've pulled a KD and shot a contested 16 footer with the lane as open as Heather Brooks esophagus.

 

[unclerukus]

He already went. He said next time ""I would say we'll probably have him in next time."

(Re: Hibbert)

He should have been fired on the spot.

 

[scotthallwithapick]

all people are saying is bad defense by indy. what about the great play spoelstra drew up?

If pg doesnt overplay that, lebron has no choice but to take a jumper and you live with the outcome

Easy to say "all a player had to do was to do this". A little harder to do it.

 

[michaelclearyvi]

Thanks for the avy.

Say what you want.. 30-10-10

 

[durantula]

This

And say if HIbbert is in the game and he somehow gets switched on Lebron in the same position PG24 was in, you don't think Lebron could blow past him too?

Thats the thing tho, it wasnt a blow by, it was an overplay on the inbound.

 

[duba169]

He would have missed the layup anyway

 

[shoeking2101]

Not at all. I'm honest. yes I hate LeBron,

Ohhhh, that explains it. Nothing more needs to be said.

 

[mronegative]

melo woulda been called for the offensive foul with the off arm

He would have missed the layup anyway

Both of you are right, and it hurts.

 

[unclerukus]

If he had missed then this thread would have exploded with 15 pages saying he choked lol

Of course it would have. Who the hell misses a wide open uncontested layup?

 

[durantula]

Easy to say "all a player had to do was to do this". A little harder to do it.

What do you mean, is not overplaying an inbound harder than it sounds?

 

[durantula]

Both the slander and the slurping are out of control. You don't care about the slurping though do you? Only the slander bothers you LOL.

Hes an actual heat fan, let him live

 

[big j 33]

That's such a lie

Not at all. I'm honest. yes I hate LeBron, but I acknowledge he's a beast. yes, I love D Rose, but if Derrick made that exact same play I'd call it bad defense, not Derrick making an amazing game winner. C'mon people. basketball is basketball. ..we've all played ball in the park. sometimes u make amazing shots, and sometimes u score because the defense was bad.

I don't have a reason to doubt you, so I'm sure that's the truth... but if Rose made a game winning layup, I don't think you're in the thread 10 minutes after the fact saying it wasn't clutch, that's all

 

[finallyfamous]

If Bron missed the layup, this thread would have exploded

Servers down for sure.

would've been epic.

 

[bentrill]

How cant it be a clutch play? That play was win or lose. If thats not clutch someone needs to define it for me.

 

[hypebeast5]

That layup cant be considered clutch cause it is a play that is too easy to make

The fact is lebron had clutch plays in this game, but that layup wasnt one it was made by paul george's error

 

[Peep Game]

BIRDMAN! BIRDMAN!

But what about Lebron?

 

[scotthallwithapick]

Easy to say "all a player had to do was to do this". A little harder to do it.

What do you mean, is not overplaying an inbound harder than it sounds?

After playing 46 minutes on Lebron who is the best player in the league and you want to pressure him? It is harder than it sounds. I'm not saying you're wrong, just saying it's easier said than done.

 

[a55a5in11]

If pg doesnt overplay that, lebron has no choice but to take a jumper and you live with the outcome

PG played it right. he should have had help but spoelstra's play spaced out the defense and gave lebron room to drive. if that was VDN you would be right though because we know he can't call up a good play to save his life

 

[durantula]

That layup cant be considered clutch cause it is a play that is too easy to make

The fact is lebron had clutch plays in this game, but that layup wasnt one it was made by paul george's error

actually he was awful up until the last 2 plays of OT, referring to bron inOT

 

[sohoguy]

Kenny always back tracking .. Clown

 

[Coupé It]

melo woulda been called for the offensive foul with the off arm

To be fair Dub, Melo would have missed the layup anyways.

Us Knick fans know it means when Melo is given a wide open layup lol.

 

[finallyfamous]

So his game winning layups against the Wiz in the playoffs back in the day weren't clutch either?

 

[big j 33]

Kenny spent 45 seconds talking when he really wanted to say to Birdman "You're not as dumb as I expected"
