I didn't watch at all, but it looks like Paul handled Westbrook pretty well last night.

there is absolutely no comparison to Chris Paul at the pg position. he's head and shoulders the best in the league.
the fact that people debate whether guys like Derrick Rose or Westbrook are as good or better is as baffling as the people who debate Kobe vs Lebron to me.

The Heat need to fire Erik Spoelstra if they are ever to win a championship. He is so badly out coached by both Rivers the other night, and Thibodeau tonight it is shameful.

Wait. Three superstars in their prime and arguably the best player in the game and.....2 points in overtime?

Russ had a poor shooting night so did kd. I'm not arguing that russ is better than.. Cp3 at all though. Neither really possess the ability to lock each other Down though Imo. Paul definitely dominated the second half on o. He Continually hit big /clutch shots. That recipe needs to. Continue for them to advance far in the playoffs, again my opinion.
Looking forward to the 4th game between the these two in LA next week. Should have playoff atmosphere again.

On his best day Bosh doesn't qualify as a superstar.

If we don't count Bosh as a superstar then we can't count Gasol as one, either.

Jeff VG is losing his mind over Miami flopping in the Heat-Knicks game.
The other announcer is trying to get him to change the topic but he's going bonkers. Hilarious stuff.
He actually hasn't said anything for 60 seconds. I think they might have hit mute on his mic.

he rants about that all the time.
JVG is my favorite commentator in all of sports. He's hilarious and also provides solid insight.

they don't need to fire him to win a championship. they can win one with me or your coaching if Lebron and Wade play well enough 4 out of 7 nights. obviously, there is a very good chance the 2 of them don't have 4 good nights together out of 7 and they can lose just as easily. but nobody has a better shot of winning then they do if they are on top of their games.
with all that said... i would fire Spo for the sole reason that there is no way he is 'adding' anything to that team... maybe a different coach would be able to implement a system that would make them slightly more efficient, if thats possible, or find better ways to get easier points from the other guys. i don't like or dislike Spo but if they don't win it this year, i'd be on the fire Spo camp.
as for Rivers, thats the same Rivers who was boo'd out of Orlando... having 4 hall of famers on a roster will make a lot of coaches look great.
