The Heat played well and got most of the calls. Kobe kicked ass! Ron looked mad on the bench when Kobe was talking to him. Artest was taking some tough 3's.
The Heat actually played a damn good game. They held us to 43% shooting while shooting 49%, they got the FT line more and they outrebounded us. What hurt them was the FT line and giving up 2nd chance points. You can't miss 15 FTs and expect to win the game, nor can you give up 18 offensive rebounds. We had something close to about 20 2nd chance points tonight, which killed the Heat. They also had no answer for us in the paint, as we outscored them there 56-42. But...despite us destroying them in the paint...the Heat still lost this game moreso than we won it. If they make FTs, this could have been a double digit victory for them. Regardless, I'll take the outcome, I just wish we'd have played better.
KOBE MOTHERFUCKING BRYANT!!!!!! I went crazy in my living room lol DaRizzle got to enjoy that game! He's so getting wasted tonight...maybe laid (twice).
Right before that play, after the Wade FT, I looked to my friend who doesn't watch much basketball and said,"I need a last second Laker win, cause last season I don't remember many until the playoffs, like the Orlando game, but I don't remember many in the regular season" Then he goes and does that. I'm fucking (Adjective, not Verb) Nostradamus!
I had a feeling we were going to win the game the entire time. I just expected it to be Fish taking that last shot, not Kobe. I'm shocked they were even able to get him the ball to be honest.
This is just good sportsmanship shown by the 2 superstars... I can remember a time, back in 05-06, when Wade said that he didn't talk, or even look, to Kobe in the hallways whenever they had games...
That's karma my friend. Miami got so many calls on the road it was ridiculous. They didn't deserve those free throws. Kobe Bryant is clutch.
