As best closer in the NBA? Yea I know they lost last night, but the dude is sick in the second half, and even better in the 4th quarter. Thoughts? Oh and he got fouled on his last shot...

I agree with everything you said.


On a side note, anyone ever wonder why Lebron isn't used like the Magic was. Their games are eerily similar with Lebron being ten times the better athlete.

I agree they are similar and him being the better athlete, but I think magic was a more fluid ball handler and passer. Lebron makes some great passes, but don't think he is as consistent.

But they won't call that as the game is ending. Plus KD got a gift when he wasn't called for a charge against Battier that would have taken him (KD) out of the game with his sixth foul a few minutes earlier.

Let it go people, it wasn't a charge.

He was jumping up as Battier slid under him.

Do you people not know the rules?

KD also got hit with one where heat guy was still shuffling a bit earlier. I think that one and the one with 6 kinda balanced themselves out.

It was a foul no doubt. I'm ok with the no call though. He didn't grab an arm or hand. That shot HAS to go for KD.

I would rather have a starting pitcher give me 8 good innings then a closer give me 1.

Lebron>the rest

Best closer? I'm fine with that. But he needs to win something (multiple times too)

4 words: Mike Brown Paul Silas. If he had come in to the league coached by an offensive genius like Paul Westhead Lebron would be a career 21ppg 9apg player

Instead he's merely a 28/7/7 career guy

28/7/7 is less effective than 21/9 how?

Those two extra assists go toward 3pt FGs made where the player is fouled, so that's eight points right there.

Kobe never had the torch give me Steve Nash or Chris Paul.

Not to those fewer shot attempts would mean less FTs for James

He can't make them anyway, so it's essentially a turnover.
