Not really, back it up with stats son. If the average team scores 100 points a game, 3 players score 80. So what you're saying is most teams have players that go 30, 25, 25. No.

In this game 3 pacers scored 85% of the points

I'm one of those annoying Heat fans that get to the game in the 2nd quarter...and then watch all the amazing looking women walking up and down the stands...then watch the best player in the world...then go back to watching the amazing looking women again...you guys should come to watch a game I guarantee you'd love it!!! Have you seen the ugly mugs in Indiana when they play there?

GO HEAT! One more to go!

The difference in this game was that things weren't working for the heat and lebron took over, but when things weren't working for the pacers, hibbert or george didn't get aggressive and try to take over.

3 players scoring most of the points and 3 players scoring 85% of the points are two completely different scales. Most literally means "more than 50%." That's not even remotely close to 80% or more. Here, I'll give you a complete list of the teams who have had 3 players score 80% or more of their teams points this season.





Oh, it's exactly none of them.

Lol, what an ignorant response but I'd expect nothing less from a Heat "fan."

Here's the teams in the eastern conference playoffs this year. Can Anyone pick Miami and Indy out of this list without googling it?

Team average--Top 3 scoring--% of overall by top 3

Team 1: 88.6--57.2--65%
Team 2: 99.4--58.8--58%
Team 3: 91.9--46.5--51%
Team 4: 89.3--46.7--52%
Team 5: 92.8--52.2--56%
Team 6: 98.5--52.5--53%
Team 7: 85.3--39.9--47%
Team 8: 82.3--52.2--63%

In all but one, the "top 3" account for literally a majority of scoring.

I can do the western conference, but it's going to be pretty much the same thing.

Miami's team is probably pretty balanced as far as scoring goes because of the 3 point shooting of Chalmers, Battier, and Allen. I don't really see scoring as a good measurement for the heat though. My reasoning is that the outside shooters are just standing there jacking up shots. While the big 3 might not account for 80% of the scoring they account for at least that much of the load on offensive end as they are doing all of the work so the shooters just need to catch and shoot.

Chalmers and Cole are both excellent rim attackers. Chalmers in particular has been very aggressive. In Game 3 Chalmers had more FT attempts than Lebron. You don't get that shooting jumpshots...unless you are Dwade or Kobe. He's getting his FT opportunities by driving. Miami's 3PT shooting in this series has been terrible. Haslem has been money in games 3&5 from that left side basline jumper. He's hit that rainbow 12 footer about 16 times in those two games. That's due to James/Wade driving and dishing. Most of Allens 3's have been very contested, off balance shots. Very few were wide open.

They are rim attackers due to the big 3 as well. Its not like they are clearing out and letting Chalmers go work like a Dirk or Carmelo. It's usually a result of a dish from Lebron or Wade and they catch the defense rotating. Once the guy is running at you full speed its a simple pump and go or just go. You could even do a give and go and get to the rim.

I noticed that the stands are mostly empty at the start of the game.

What a crowd I tell ya.

They also leave early even if the game hasn't reached an outcome yet.....

Most people sitting in the lower bowl are usually wealthy and think its some kind of fashion statement to show up late. Happens in Dallas too. Well regular season anyways. Also don't scream or cheer too loudly you'll get crazy looks. I really don't find many fans in the lower bowl but I like sitting close to the action so I tolerate them.

Lebron has been amazing. The rest of the gang, not so much. Though Haslem was also amazing last night going 8-9 and seemingly hitting the EXACT same shot every time. This can't be the Lebron Cavaliers with this much talent though. D-wade has gotta contribute a lot more, as does bosh, chalmers, and birdman. Bosh and Birdman are sucking in the paint, they are either tipping the ball around or crawling around on the ground like they lost a contact for some reason. They are playing real soft.

Regardless of who wins ultimately, I hope it goes to game 7 at least.

Haven't watched much nba huh?
Stern might call back Donaghey for one final favor to ref this next one. There will most definitely be some referee help to push this to a game 7. Once it gets to game 7 though its all over. Expect Wade or James to set a nba record for free throws attempted in game 7.

That guy from the Bulls got thrown out for shoving LeBron to the floor. I guess knocking Tyler Hansbrough to the floor - from behind no less - is not the same thing.

Say what you want about referees, sometimes they call games loose or tight and that's fine, but when they aren't consistent is when it's bad to watch.

i like how you guys reminisce about the hard playing in the 80s/90s. birdman hip checks Hansbrough and now you think he should be suspended. he's basically serving as the teams enforcer. Same thing they had back in the day.

Yes many people here are reminiscing about a period in the game where physical play was allowed. But I think more people would prefer at least some fairness / consistency in how the game is going to be called. Convenient of you to ignore that.

Did you feel the same way when Nazr Mohammed pushed Crybaby James to the floor? If yes then you are a fair person, but my beef is with bitches from David's harem, they certainly dont feel the same way, they are unfair.

100% agree with you. There was not one, not two, but three incidents as proof he should be ejected from game 6.

1: While running back he purposely knocks Hansbrough to the floor
2: Hansbrough gets up and in his face (he should have gotten a tech for this), then Birdman escalates by pushing him yet again
3: He pushes and shoves with the referee while he is trying to break up the scuffle.

If they don't suspend him for a game I have absolutely zero faith in the NBA.

Yep

Consistencyis what makes NBA games shitty.

If they kick off Mohamed for James push (which btw James over reacted and went MUCH further then she should've.....that bitch)....then Birdman should not only be thrown out but also suspended.

Heck suspend him for LIFE,guy is a clown anyways.

people complained about that previous suspension so maybe that played into the minds of the refs. personally i think all basketball players are cry babies. if I'm a ref I can't smack you in the face because you're crying like a little girl so eventually i'm going to go easy on you so will shut up for a second.
