HEAT | Conf-Finals - Game #6 - Rose shoots 1-14

[Bucket]

Wow, two Lithuanians in top 14.
James dominates in NBA.

[kibaxx7]

Wouldn't trade Bron man, but that's just me.

[Houndy]

Wouldn't trade Bron man, but that's just me.

Why would you trade LeBron? That's stupid. However, he really might leave in 5 years. I signed him with my Mavs in 2k10

[kibaxx7]

That's what I said, I wouldn't trade him. Just saying my opinion after reading that last chapter

[Martti.]

Bosh back to full health



Chris Bosh, who has been slowed down the last 2 weeks with a strained calf, is back to full health, the HEAT announced.

The HEAT have struggled lately, with the absence of Dwyane Wade and Bosh playing through his injury. The HEAT have just 2 games in the next 11 days.

Dwyane Wade is expected to miss at least 2 weeks more, including games against the Hawks, Raptors, Knicks and Pistons.

[George7]

Nice loss over the Bulls there!

With Bosh back the team would hopefully get back on rythm.

[Fresh8]

Lamrock is a 6'10'' PG?

[Martti.]

Sorry, he's a PF. Will fix that in the next one.

[Fresh8]

Sorry, he's a PF. Will fix that in the next one.

I was getting worried I'd have to defend a 6'10" PG full time haha

[Martti.]

You will have your hands full with Rose, Rondo, Paul, Williams, Wall, Irving, Nash, Kidd etc...

You should write an article about your player if you have time, as I'm not very familiar with the Australian League.

[Martti.]

Everyone should write a little something about their player. It would definitely improve your draft stock. I'll let you know how much later, don't worry, it will help plenty.

[Kubik]

Stephen Jackson second guard? And where is Durant? There are some suprises in voting. Of course LeBron must be in strating five!

[Martti.]

Stephen Jackson is playing out of his mind. He averages like 25-5-5 if I remember. Durant is 7th, Westbrook has carried the Thunder so far.

[Valor]

Boo, I'm out of the lottery

good thing you got raped by Chi-town though

said Sarah, clearly hiding the fact that he was blushing.

Is Sarah a she-man?

Of course, LeBron is into those things you know

[Mandich]

Stephen Jackson is an All-star starter for now ? Damn you better get that second spot D-Wade

[Martti.]

You can get in it, start by introducing your player a bit in a small piece of writing.

You remind me of my nephew. Biggest Bulls fans, hates the Heat, calls Bosh, Wade and Bron gay.

He had a million votes when Jax and Rondo had about 600,000. 2K should change that injured players can still get votes.

Maybe later, when the draft gets closer

You remind me of my nephew. Biggest Bulls fans, hates the Heat, calls Bosh, Wade and Bron gay.

Correction, I only call Bosh n LeBitch gay. I'm cool with Wade

[Martti.]

He really wanted Wade to go to Chicago, hasn't gotten over it.

[Valor]

He really wanted Wade to go to Chicago, hasn't gotten over it.

Haha, I'm cool with that too. Booz is good enough and D-Rose is our MVP, we don't need another "candidate"

[George7]

Agreed with Valor!

[Bucket]

No KD in all-star ballots? That sucks.

[kibaxx7]

How David Lee has more votes than Durantula?

But nice to see Manu there.

Chris Bosh had his 2nd straight 30-10 game after recovering from an injury with 33 points and 18 rebounds against his former employer, the Toronto Raptors, and the HEAT were able to walk off with a 88-75 win, leading by as much as 20 in the fourth quarter.

LeBron James had 27 points and 9 assists, adding his usual 8 turnovers. Kyle Korver had 9 points, but shot a miserable 3-18 from the field, including 1-9 from deep. Gilbert Arenas, Leandro Barbosa and Andrea Bargnani combined to shoot 19-73 from the field (.260) for the Raptors. Only Sonny Weems shot decently for the whole team, going 7-13 from the field for 19 points.

The 4 bigs for the HEAT - Udonis Haslem, Chris Bosh, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Joel Anthony - combined for 44 rebounds, led by Bosh' season-high 18.

The Raptors started better, let by Arenas and Sonny Weems. The Raptors held a 23-14 lead, but the HEAT were able to finish the first quarter with a 7-0 run to trim the lead to just 2 points.

In the second quarter, the good old Miami HEAT defence showed up. The Raptors were limited to just 1 field goal in the 2nd quarter and the HEAT held a 44-30 lead going into halftime, with Gilbert Arenas having 14 of the Raptors 30.

The third quarter passed with both teams racking up 20 points, although the HEAT started with a 9-0 run for their biggest lead of the night, +23. With the HEAT starting to give minutes to its reserves, the lead started to shrink.

The HEAT led by as much as 20 in the final frame and were up by 18 with 30 seconds to go with the Raptors scoring 5 points in a hurry.

Chris Bosh earned his first Player of the Week award after averaging 32.5 points and 16 rebounds while shooting 61% in the 2 wins.


"Great defensive effort tonight. CB really carried us. Can't wait to get back out there with the guys. "
