Miami really got hosed with that terrible foul on Lebron.

It was about the same as the call on Garnett not long before it.


No, it wasn't. Garnett obviously held Lebron and kept him from helping defensively.

if wade is gonna play iso.ball, he needs to at least go earlier to try get an offensive rebound outta it.

Lebron wouldve made the pass to chalmers.

LeBron was being held, so he dove back knowing he could get a cheap call. Pretty much the same thing as what was done to him just a few plays later.

Lebron did not hold his defender on his last foul. Not even close to the same thing.

Whatever helps you sleep at night, princess.

Both were the same. LeBron got a cheap foul called on Garnett by falling and pulling Garnett. Then he had the same thing happen to him.

Doesn't matter, but Garnett wrapped both arms around Lebrons hand to prevent him from helping. That was obvious.

Petries took a dive and got the call.

The call against Garnett was correct. The call against Lebron was incorrect.

Which would be fine if they called the hold. Pretty sure they thought Garnett pushed back on LeBron and that's what caused them both to fall. NBA refs generally make the holding sign if they call a foul for holding.

Anyone else think his return may screw things up for Miami? Wade & LeBron finally seemed to figure out hot to play together and this may upset that delicate balance. Kind of like when Amar'e came back to the Knicks and they played much better when he was out.

Bruce Bowen was talking on M&M this morning that a player coming back will screw up the chemistry. Pointed to when he was with Miami and Zo came back and when Orlando was going to the Finals and Jameer Nelson came back.

What are you talking about Junkhead? The Heat have dropped two in a row and Garnett is dominating in part because the typical Heat person guarding him is 3 inches shorter.

Even if it doesn't screw up chemistry, it's logical to think it will take some time to get back to form.

I'm talking about offense, Hotard. And I'm not sure I'd call 20.5 PPG & 10.8 RPG "dominating" exactly.

Quite a big jump from his regular season numbers for the past 4 years of 15 and 8.

That doesn't mean he's dominating. It means he's playing better than he has the past 4 years. There is a difference.

Bosh will only help Miami. Scoring, rebounding, and spreading the floor for Lebron/wade. He will also help limit Garnett, who is having a big impact.

Take ibaka or Perkins off OKC, take Garnett off of Boston, take Duncan off the spurs. The Heat miss Bosh a lot.

I agree Bosh will help...and it's not like their "chemistry" is all that great as a team right now. Wade is still playing streaky, and they desperately need someone to bang with KG and more importantly spread the floor offensively to keep the celts from sagging in the lane.

It will also free up Bron to maybe defend Rondo if they need him to.

When you get an 18/8 guy back, it matters. When it is at a position of need, it matters even more. When it allows your best player to get less worn down defensively, matters even more.

Yes, it might hurt chemistry some. But it's not like Bosh has been out 6 months.

Getting Bosh back should be good unless he's rusty and they lean on him too much.

Agreed. Would be nice if the circle was moved out as he suggested. Gotta get rid of the flops.

Norris Cole could be a helluva point guard if he wasnt such a turnover machine.

Cole is just a rookie so he should only get better.
