What Lebron did in the 4th with a bunch of scrubs on the court was amazing. Spols was an idiot to bring back Wade and Bosh in the game. They got lucky Kwahi missed that FT...but Miami played some amazing D in the 4th. That's Miami Heat's 4th quarter defense. Finally showed up.

No player can dominate all facets of the game like Lebron did for those 6-7 minutes to bring the Heat back. Just amazing.

Hindsight is 20/20, but Popovich made a huge error taking Duncan out late in the 4th. I understand the thinking that he wanted more perimeter defenders on the floor, but Duncan would have secured those rebounds and ended the game. Miami hit the 3's they needed anyways.

NOW will people get off LeBron's back? He was simply incredible in the 4th + OT with the season, and possibly his legacy, on the line. That was a huge pressure moment.

That's all. I've been hearing it for 3 quarters how all of a sudden he can't play defense, he can't play well in pressure situations blah blah blah. All these haters need to give it a rest.

That was a hell of a pass from Lebron off the backboard in the closing seconds in regulation that led to Allen's trey. He actually did that same pass the possession before that too.

Pop pretty much sabotaged his own team's championship.

1. Pop elects to sit Hall of Famer Duncan out the last two possessions giving Bosh free rebounds.
2. Pop rests Parker in last defensive possessions of overtime just to give him rest.
3. Pop leaves Ginobili in critical moments of the game. Subsequently turns the ball over whenever he dribbled.

Pop just overthinking and overcoaching at this point.

Did he travel before he got fouled?

i believe so, will have to watch it again to be sure though

Of course you believe so lol

He got fouled right as his 3rd step was on the ground. I don't get why Pop would leave the ball in Ginobili's hands in that situation anyway.

Not surprised that's how you saw it.

Without Lebron, this game was over in 4th. Clutch is not just who hits the last shot. That's whole 4th quarter was clutch. Plus, Lebron hit a huge 3 himself before that.
