    I just remembered.....I still can't stand basketball! All the fake fouls these days, what a joke. Yup there are some talented guys there, but NBA....blah I'd rather watch golf, that's how bad basketball is!

    Bosh fouled with his body on the last play of the game...no question

    How about all the dumb Miami fans who left the game early?

    You don't call that though.

    And LeBron better be bowing to Ray Allen since he bailed him out and saved him from being torn to pieces today. 2 turnovers in the last minute? He just looked so apprehensive and lacked confidence.

    yeah, Bosh got Green with his lower body because he didn't go straight up, but you know what? If Chris freaking Bosh makes you look like a little b****, then you don't deserve to get the call.

    And the next year was under .500 without him. He came back late in the season and they won 47 games. They won the championship the next 3 years. And don't forget the 3 years prior to hus retirement.

    Jordan never lost a championship finals series. Regardless of the supporting cast.That says alot. After making it to the finals the first time, he made it back every full season he played with Chicago.

    Foul and free throws just shows the more aggressive team, not if it was called fairly. imo

    People are STILL bagging on Lebron for a 32-10-11 elimination game? I mean come on guys, you are grasping for anything at this point.

    Exactly.

    Give credit where credit is due and stop looking for reasons to hate.

    He may have never lost a finals, but he did lose in the playoffs 3 years straight to the Pistons.

    Bosh took a huge and rather stupid risk going after a guy that aggressively in that situation...luckely for him the refs bailed him out

    Then the rest was history:D


    I have no issues with lebron. I think he might be the best all time SOMEDAY but he has a long way before he can be labeled that . IMO


    He has the skill set, it's just a matter of continuing on the path he's on and sustaining it for a long time.

    Did he not turn the ball over twice in the final minute?

    Did he not single handedly bring them back within striking distance? 18pts in a quarter, any quarter, is remarkable, let alone a finals elimination game. Did he also not hit a 3 to cut the deficit down to 2?

    At some point in time great players have to receive help.

    I agree that Bosh took a big risk. But also, Green flailed his legs out. They've been calling that an offensive foul at times this year, because the defender is entitled to space as well, and should not be kicked. Not saying it should have been called offensive, but I think the no call was correct.

    He did.

    But he still second guesses himself too much when it comes down to end of game plays, thus the 2 turnovers. MJ, nor Kobe, never second guessed themselves at the end of the game.

    Flailed his legs out? He was fading away :lol: The defender is entitled to vertical space, not falling into the offensive players space. It was technically a foul, but I think it was a good no call. You don't call lower body fouls on a fade away 3 to end the game.

    If that video clip is of a "no call", then the NBA has slipped even further away from the game of basketball than I could have ever imagined when I quit watching it 15 years ago. That is absurd.

    Oh don't be so dramatic. You know it was a good no call.

    No...it really wasnt. Star treatment ruined game 6. ESPN toted that fail as "epic game 6". It was garbage.
