I'll give credit where credit is due.

LeBron and Wade really stepped up yesterday. That was a must win game and they put the team on their shoulders and really delivered.

That performance by LeBron (under the pressure of an absolute must win game) was impressive....that is what you expect from the MVP and player with his immense talent.

Its because of the injuries and the lockout. Its taken away from this playoff. Not a lot of surprises this go round. Heat up 3-2 now after that 30 point blowout last nite. 30 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists last nite for the MVP. Nobody wants to talk about him or make a story when he plays well.

Another excellent night by LeBron and Wade. They seem to have awaken from their funk and are playing like two of the top players in the league.

If they keep this up, they WILL make it out of the East.

If they do, the match-up with either the Spurs or the Thunder will be outstanding....Spurs and Thunder are both playing fantastic ball.

The NBA has decided and Haslem is suspended for 1 game, Pittman is out 3 games while Hansbrough avoided anything for his hit on Wade. I suspect the refs will go a little overboard calling fouls tonight to keep things from getting too chippy like game 5. I thought they should have kicked Haslem and Pittman out of the game for their fouls, which ironically might have helped the Heat because I dont think Haslem would have been suspended for game 6.

No excuses for the Pacers tonight in must win situation, the game is in Indy and with no Bosh and no Haslem they have a huge advantage inside.

Wade with 26 in the first half, but the Pacers are up 53-51 at half. A lot of points being scored for this series, I dont see it continuing in the 2nd half. The Heat are going to have to play better defense and need to rebound better if they want to avoid a game 7

Hansbrough made a play on the ball then Miami, being the bitches they are, took a blatant cheap shot at Tyler. The guy who threw an elbow should be charged with aggravated assault.

Wade carrying Miami again.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
