Not sure why people are still putting Arenas on their lists, he hasn't exactly been clutch this season.. A few years ago I said he was the second best clutch player in the league, but not anymore. Kobe is, and will probably go down as the greatest last-second shot maker in the league. Not sure how anyone can say Melo is better..

Yup, definitely watching this game, going to be crazy. First time I'll ever root for the Cavs like I'm a die hard fan.

Damn, we finally had our offense rolling and then commit a few stupid turnovers which led to the Heat scoring.

Boozer wanted LeBron to join him in Chicago and they had the cap space to sign two max players.

My God this has been a terrible quarter.

What is that, Alonzo Gee's third attempt at a poster dunk?

Solid quarter from us, JeVale looking ultra soft right now in the paint, there were a few plays where he could have blocked a shot or prevented an easy lay up. Gotta cut down on turnovers as well. Dray with a great start to the game, nice to see him find a rhythm.

Wall is out, Yi is out, and JeVale won't start but will play (back). ....yeah..... Miami wins by 50.

I knew this kid had problems coming into the league regarding his work ethic and maturity, but wow.

When the big three first formed in Boston, Doc was in the same situation Erik is in now. Rivers was on the hotseat and was known as the guy who led the Celts to a terrible record 3 years in a row, and was left only to rot while better coaches became available. What changed in Beantown was the heart of Pierce, and the attitude and leadership of KG. Their ability to listen to Rivers and as players, commanded great basketball behavior from every member of the team. Remember Rondo being looked at as a clear weakness and Perkins as a problem child out of high school? That was the players decision, not the decision of the coach. The same things should happen in Miami, but has not. Players are not taking control of the team, guys like LBJ and Wade need to start pointing out flaws in games and in practices, and set the example moving forward.

Well like I said, I don't agree with the decision, but I'm sure the NFL's thinking process is that it was premeditated on the part of Finnegan to try and bait Andre Johnson into a fight. After going to his head/throat on multiple plays (who knows what he has been saying all game) he goes to the Texans sideline and tells them "Watch this." He then goes to his face/throat yet again and Johnson finally snaps and attacks a guy that has been referred to in the press as an embarrassment to the NFL prior to this for all the cheap/dirty tactics he uses. So I guess they are trying to discipline Finn for more than just this one incident.

R.I.P. he was phenomenal in both Naked Gun and Airplane.

Lol I agree with you completely, this decision was made because they didn't suspend Seymour (which I bet they are regretting), but the NFL did drop the ball on both incidents.

Wednesday, December 1st Portland @ Boston (NBATV) Winner: Boston Leading scorer: Pierce San Antonio @ LA Clippers (NBATV) Winner: Spurs Leading rebounder: Tim Duncan Thursday, December 2nd Miami @ Cleveland (TNT) Winner: Miami Leading scorer: LeBron Phoenix @ Golden State (TNT) Winner: Suns Player with the most threes made: Stephen Curry Friday, December 3rd Chicago @ Boston (ESPN) Winner: Boston Leading passer: Rajon Rondo Sacramento @ LA Lakers Winner: Lakers Player with the most turnovers: Tyreke Evans Dallas @ Utah (ESPN) Winner: Dallas Leading scorer: Dirk Nowitzki

It shouldn't matter what Finnegan did to provoke Johnson, Dre threw punches that landed on Finnegan. You can make the case that Finnegan deserved it and AJ was justified in the eyes of every spectator of the sport, however, AJ throwing punches on the field is a clear violation of the rules and should be suspended. I agree that Finn is the bad guy of the whole situation, he should be suspended. If you think Finn baited and cheap shotted AJ all game, then suspended him for multiple games, but for the league not to suspend AJ a single game? That's ridiculous. This league is attempting to clean up the violence within the game such as roughing the passer, defenseless receivers, helmet to helmet hits then I guess you can't use your helmet as a weapon, but your fists are apparently ok.. And BTW, Seymour should have been suspended also, the league dropped the ball on this one. I can't understand how anyone can argue against this.

Lol I realize that, but this is the second straight week that we've had success on third downs, at least we're showing signs of improvement.

Well at least our offense is looking as good as it has all year. 6/8 on third downs!

Right now Joe is averaging around 17PPG on 40%FG and 26% on three's(career low). To put it into perspective, last year he averaged 21PPG on 46%FG and 37% on three's. Will he put it together and prove he's somewhat worthy of that ginormous contract he received this past offseason? What is going on with him right now?

Ugh, AP is killing us as expected, gotta find a way to stop him.

I'd give our offensive line more credit, it looked great and it seems like they're really improving. Minnesota had a solid pass rush on that one play where McNabb lost the ball.

OMG, easily the best drive I've seen all year by our offense. McNabb looked great.

Whoa, two wildcat plays early on, we haven't ran that all season.. It hasn't been too effective thus far, but nice to see some new play call.

Vikings are 0-6 on the road this year, but Favre is 4-0 against the Skins in his career, not sure what to predict today. LaRon is out again, and we always struggle against fast receivers like Harvin, not looking forward to that. We're also 32nd in the league against the rush, so I definitely won't be surprised if AP gets 30+ carries. Let's see if the Skins can extend that win streak to 2, we definitely need it.

I think the only thing that throws a major roadblock is that Riley has been forcing Spoelstra on everyone for now 3 seasons as some sort of savant. If he fires him halfway through the season it's a signed confession that he screwed up. It's the Dumars/Darko corollary. The shot distribution is very poor, although that will improve with better chemistry. When we saw that roster we pictured them running a certain style and winning a lot of games doing it, and they haven't run that style at all and they're not doing nearly as well as everyone expected. I think it's weird that the Heat have decided to run such a slow system. It seems like all their players are better suited for up tempo. Their deficiencies in interior defense would be countered by all their fast break points. Use a mentality like: if you're going to throw the ball into your center every play, we'll swarm, steal, and fast break. Their wing players are so good at stealing the ball, you'd think they would try to do that more. Yet they're 22nd in steals? I don't understand what Spoelstra is trying to do.
