No, it's different in other situations though dude. First of all, Kobe has a way better team around him. Gasol, Odom, Artest, Bynum, etc. are way better than what Chicago has. Westbrook's situation is not comparable; Westbrook is the No. 2 option CLEARLY, when Rose is the No. 1 option CLEARLY. That's largely dictatates your shot choice. Secondly, when he goes to the hoop there's 3 guys that converge on him. Boozer played a solid offensive game - but it's just not enough to get them over the hump against a team like Miami. He's just not very good. Same with Deng. Deng cannot create his own shot. Everyone knows Rose isn't a very efficient jump shooter. I'm not claiming he is. But you can't get into the paint when you got guys running at you all day and when you do beat the initial defender, you have Haslam, Anthony, Bosh, etc. etc. stepping right into your grill. Don't want to take anything away for Miami - as much as I hate them, they deserve a lot more praise than for us to criticize Rose. Schematically, they've played him great.

Uh, first of all, when he goes to the hoop, three guys constantly converge on him when he beats the initial defender. Secondly, he was being thrown doubles and triples, many of times caused him to turn it over or make poor passes because the guys doubling him were so tall, he couldn't see over them. And this team won 60 games because they play excellent defense (something they are well coached at and do have great individual defenders ex. brewer, deng)...but this team is INEPT offensively. Plus, at the end of the game, like I've stated for some reason they were running a ton of iso's...So, he had to try to be the hero.

Wow, please stop...Lol. They ran iso plays for him, neither of them were open, and Boozer missed a few key FT's and was not that great offensively. Let's stop crowning him. And Deng is no offensive threat outside of occasionally being open on a spot up three.. The Rose and Westbrook situations are completely different....One guy is the heart & soul of his team. The other one isn't even in the best on his team. Smfh.

You've got to be kidding me dude, come on. I know your basketball knowledge is far superior to what you are displaying in this post...LOL. Unless your talking about Russell Westbrook.... Dude, Rose has been getting thrown doubles all series. And let's not forget he has a 6'9" GREAT perimeter defender on him as well in the last quarter of this game. Also, one more thing...the dude plays EVERY minute and gets no offensive support. God forbid Korver hits a damn shot.

Do you realize his team is garbage? Pretty sure he's getting like triple teamed and has to play every [expletive]ing minute because this team has no bench players that can score. And can "Coach of the Year" Tom Thibadeau draw up a play besides an iso? Jesus.

It's 6'2" over 6'11" Plus the move he made to get there was insane.. The Bulls supporting cast [expletive]ing sucks. Carlos Boozer is a bum, I really hope they didn't pay him the max because he's horrible. He doesn't move his feet on defense, has a wack shooting motion, and doesn't really do much well besides rebound.

Do people still watch that Jersey Shore TV show?

G.D.O.A.T.???

Well, he's not really a rapper. He's an RnB artist really.

Been on it for a minute already. It's so good bro.

Fire. J. Cole been my [expletive]a for almost two years now. I was the first person to ever post about him on this site and now it's funny to see everybody on it Funny how none of you motha [expletive]as responded to this shit... http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/topic/371-j-cole/

Miami wins by 3...Take control of series tonight.

Sooooo I just got back from the Verizon store. Two problems I ran into so I couldn't get the phone... 1. I wasn't the 'authorized user' on my account. My dad is. So, He would have to give permission for me to upgrade... 2. We had a balance still due on our account. Lol. My dad is in business meetings all day. He doesn't have time to talk to the Verizon people and he probably wouldn't pay the bill anyway yet. I did have the offer on the table. A case, car charger, and screen protector for 50 dollars. And the guy gave me a promotion that threw in a free case of my choice too (because I didn't like the case they gave me in the package lol)... [expletive]. I better get that deal when I go back...which probably won't be for a week or two.

I disagree with this segment of your post. Although Mayo is the better pure scorer, Harden is a better passer and defender, and probably even rebounder. Plus, I love watching him play...He plays the game in such control and smoothness.

I still think MIAMI will be holding the hardware at the end of this season...pretty much like I've said since November 1st. OKC is still at least one year away from making that true run for a Championship. I never really took them seriously in this years playoffs - but I think with their improved front court play it allowed them to get this far. Dirk is just a better player with more experience that Durant, and at the end of these games it's really showing.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll see what I can do tomorrow, haha.

Can't believe OKC lost this game. I think this illustrates that Dallas is substantially better.

Word. I wonder if they sell those in a store...And that comes with a screen protector as well? I'll prob see if the guy who sells the phone to me will put the screen protector on. Don't want that shit to bubble lol.

Alright, thanks. Will they have cases/screen protectors at the Verizon store? Or will I need to go to Best Buy to get a good case/screen protector?

Ok, cool, thanks. The cases don't include screen protectors, right? I'm assuming that's a different cost/accessory. Lol.

Wow that is crazy. Good luck to RD or anyone living in that area.

Didn't really feel like starting a new topic, and figured some iPhone users would probably see this post. This week, I'm going to get an iPhone. My upgrade is due June 6, but I think they'll let me upgrade a week or two early. Anyway, I'm probably going to get the 16gb for 199 just because I don't have that much money haha, would love to get the 32gb but I think it's kind of pointless anyway. I doubt I'll load up on apps, vids, photos, and music anyway.. A few questions for iphone4 users: What does a good case run me? Where to get a good case? (Apple Store, Verizon store[probably where I'll go to upgrade it], Best Buy, etc.) What are some apps I need to download right away when I get it? Any other info I should know about it?

Not if he comes in in the 1st quarter....No one will be there yet. Kidding. But really, I think MIA takes this game, and ultimately will take the series in six.

Ok thanks for the clarification.
