Miami Heat – LeBron James Couldn’t Handle Roy Hibbert on the Floor
In game 1, LeBron James was the hero, but the role was turned 48 hours later, as the Miami Heat went to their star again to try and save the day, but the presence of Roy Hibbert led to some bad decisions form the NBA MVP, turning the ball over twice and leading to the series now being tied at 1-1.

Miami Heat Benefit From LeBron James Being a Different Kind of Superstar
The Miami Heat aren’t the best team in the NBA for the last couple of years, winning 46 of their last 49 games just because LeBron James is a superstar. It’s because he’s the kind of superstar no one has even seen before.

Most NBA Playoff Triple Double Games in the Last Decade
The 30 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists effort from LeBron James gave him his ninth postseason triple double, trailing only Rajon Rondo in that category over the last decade, although with his game winner just before the buzzer he did become the first player to grab the TD and hit a game winner in the same playoff game.

Miami Heat – LeBron James Pulls Off a Little Bit of Playoff History
Despite his triple double, there was a feeling LeBron James was being bested on both ends of the floor by Paul George. But on the final play of the game, with 2.2 seconds left to save the Miami Heat from another opening game loss, the best player in the NBA proved once again that all the talk about him shying away from the basket or not shining in clutch situations is a thing best kept in the past.

LeBron James Getting Ready for the Miami Heat – Indiana Pacers Hate
It’s only been a year, but things haven’t simmered down between the Indiana Pacers and the Miami Heat. LeBron James got pissed off hearing a comment Frank Vogel never made, which didn’t disturb some reporters letting James know about it. We’ll probably be hearing plenty of trash talk from the other side soon enough. It’ll be a lot messier than it is out West, on the court and in the media as well.

Miami Heat – LeBron James Finds Answers by Lowering His Head and Grinding it Out
It’s been well established that for LeBron James and the Miami Heat to succeed in the playoffs and win NBA titles (which they’ve already done once), they won’t be able to turn away from winning by scoring in the paint. Dwyane Wade only started helping in the fourth quarter, but it was enough to put a lid on the Eastern conference semifinals series, closing it out in five games, as the big three advance to their third conference finals in three years.

Miami Heat & LeBron James Prove Something About Toughness & Defense
There’s always something LeBron James needs to prove, and into that battle he gladly drags along the rest of the Miami Heat with him. If anyone questioned his toughness, it’s over now. If anyone thought the Miami Heat can’t play defense that simply makes their rivals look like amateurs, that’s over as well, just like their […]

Kevin Durant Needs to be Better, But How Much More Can He Give
When you look at the transition offense the Oklahoma City Thunder had during the regular season, the best in the NBA, and what they’re trying to pull off now, you suddenly realize why Russell Westbrook is so important, despite his obvious shortcomings. Kevin Durant is trying to do everything for his team, but it doesn’t seem to be enough, and it’s not certain he has anything else to give.

LeBron James is Handling a Dirty Chicago Bulls Team the Best Way Possible
If you think LeBron James is a flopper, you’re wrong. He might be selling it in order to make the best of a situation in which the Chicago Bulls have decided the only way they’re getting something out of their series with the Miami Heat is by playing anti-basketball and the hell with everything else, but there’s not much else he can do.

Chicago Bulls – Fighting the Wrong Battle
I still haven’t understood if the Chicago Bulls are out to prove they’re the tougher team or actually win the series. It’s as if they were so surprised by their game 1 win in Miami, that they forgot to win three more in order to knock out the Heat and the “soft” LeBron James from the playoffs.
