Does anyone remember Dirk in that lil bow wow movie Like Mike.
He asks lil bow wow to sign something for his "niece".
Lil Bow Wow asks "Whats her name?"
Dirk says "Ummmm, Dirk" lmfao
classic

I hope Chrissy Bosh has another 30 point game tonight!

Love that the WNBA commercial features Mostly NBA highlights and players.

Why do so many dumbass commentators believe that it is only the less skilled players who can bring energy and toughness to a team?

[chum1]

it's not like there's nothing to that.  a guy off the bench can go balls to the wall because he knows he'll being going back to the bench before long.  they also don't have to worry about fouling out for the same reason.

i don't know if james was clutch last night or not, but he's still not a clutch player.  his shooting is so weak it's hard to believe.

Yeah, he was clutch.

clutch usually means end of game, not 3-5 min left.  but whatever, lebron apologists.

Meh, he scored 9 in the final 4:30, drove and scored to push the lead from 5 to 7 with less than 90 sec left and then hit a 3 with 45 sec left to ice the game. That's clutch by anyone's definition...except lebron haters.

making a 3 with :45 left when you're up by 7 and the shot clock is winding down is not clutch in any way.  there's zero pressure in that situation.

Why do they have to be tied or trailing in the final minutes to be considered clutch when he hits a shot?  Just because they are winning doesn't mean that it isn't a big shot.  You listen to Skip Bayless too much.

fine.  he's clutch.  he's just not very good in high pressure situations.  better?

He and the Heat were not good this year at the end of games. That is true. That seems to be changing in the playoffs though and wasn't a factor with James in his career before this season.

[felix rex]

The whole thing about the Heat/Lebron on last second shots is such an overdone talking point.

[wetwillie]

The White Mamba is on the prowl again tonight.  CAN"T WAIT.

[Winters]

Udonis Haslem!   

[michigancat]

Whenever they show NBA coaches halftime speeches or talking in the huddle during a timeout it makes me think I could be an NBA coach.

OMG, so true. It's like, seriously? Why even bother talking?

Also, LOL @ LeBron haters. What a bunch of losers.

is there someone better to hate?  because i'm certainly not going to be the kind of loser that wants everyone to play their best.

Andrew Bynum

[OK_Cat]

Boom, thunder up!

[_33]

Feels good to have been one of the first aboard the Westbrook sucks train. He's like Rajon Rondo only he shoots and misses a lot more, can't pass, and turns it over a ton.

[_33]

James Harden is a disgusting human being. I agree with JVG that there should be fines handed down from the league office for plays like that.

[bigDcat]

eat crap, OK_Cat

[_33]

Love that Noah gets so overly excited and intense that he picks up 2 fouls within the first few minute every game.

[Stevesie60]

Bosh must have gotten tired of people referring to them as the "Big 2 and a Half". Absolutely incredible game for him.

[mcmwcat]

did lebron finish w/ a triple double last night?  didn't finish the last 4 or so minutes.
