Joakim Noah

Why was he on the bench entire 4th quarter?

I understand Boozer because he blows but Noah is their energy period.

Don't understand it but glad.

Anyone?

Noah was completely outplayed in this series, was helpless when he get the ball down low (would either throw up a lousy shot or turn the ball over)
One of the most overrated players in the NBA, I believe

I forgot one thing -- he is also a punk

Give the Heat defense credit and give a very underrated Chris Bosh credit.

That said, Noah brings energy and gets offensive boards and he's not in there at crunch time - just surprising to me

Oh and serious question - does this hurt Ohio fans or are they over it?

Or is it like twisting the knife?

I heard the Heat were going to ask Dan Gilbert to throw out the first ball. lol

This hurts many people. I heard that the Boston owner stated he has never rooted harder against a team than Miami this year in the playoffs. LOL

Dallas will be Americas team for the next few weeks!

This is true until Mark Cuban does something dumb. Lock up the weight room. Lol

jack you're like chibob, start power posting when your team is doing good..

gl with your heat, should be a great series.

Dr. Jack · #9 05-27-2011, 11:11 AM

Cmon I sit back the entire playoffs and not say much. Lol

Im not guaranteeing victory either. Think it's a good series. But I should have taken that ban bet with hoosier23. Lol

Jack,
Honestly, does it feel any different going to the finals with the big 3 (the NYY of the NBA) versus if you did it with Wade and additional help. Obviously people feel the Heat are buying a championship by having 3 max contract type players on their team and additionla help players who are playing for a league minimum to win a championship.

Or is going the finals and winning the championship great either way? I am just curious from a Miami fan point of view if it feels less special, even if slightly?

Doesn't feel any different as a Miami fan except in 2006 no one saw it coming.

In NBA it's not like MLB everyone basically buys teams or at least to a certain degree.

I'm rooting for Lebron. I felt for him in Cleveland and always have felt sympathy towards the player who is great but doesn't win it all.

I think this would be funner as a fan because everyone hates on them and roots against them. There's a certain vindication even for the fan.
