Rick N. Backer Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 MIAMI -- When Nate Robinson dove for a loose ball near the Heat bench with 4:19 remaining in the second quarter, the 5-9, 180-pounder collided with the 6-8, 250-pound LeBron James. Robinson left the court with a bloodied lip, immediately visiting the locker-room bathroom and staring in disbelief at his face. Ten stitches later, Robinson returned to score a game-high 27 points -- including 11 in the fourth quarter -- as the Chicago Bulls erased a seven-point deficit in the final quarter in a 93-86 victory over the Miami Heat in Game 1 of the second-round Eastern Conference playoff series Monday night at AmericanAirlines Arena. "You've got to play through it," said Robinson, who played 41 minutes and collected nine assists. "You've got to continue to fight and muster enough energy and fight to continue to play as hard as you can and produce for your teammates. They expect you to get stitched up and come back out there and continue to battle, and that's what I did." The warrior gene exists outside the NHL! Comparing NBA players to NHL players? Let's not get carried away. You saying Derrick Rose isn't NHL-tough? Yes. I'm saying there is not a single person in the NBA that is NHL tough.

NBA players are tough, but the NHL beats all sports in that category, and only NHL players are NHL-tough.. I remember game 4 in the Finals in 2011, which I attended, Dirk played through a 100+ fever and flu-symptoms, scored the clinching layup with a few seconds left, and gave the Mavs a chance again. Now, this is tough IMO, but nothing to compare to selling out and diving to block a 100 mph shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Roy Hibbert did everything but pull out the boxing gloves in Game 6, finishing with 24 points and 11 rebounds, and continually contesting Miami's shots to help Indiana stave off elimination with an emphatic 91-77 victory over the defending champs.Paul George scored 28 points, had eight rebounds and five assists, and the Pacers held Miami to 36.1 percent shooting as they booked a trip back to Miami for Game 7 on Monday night."Myself and David (West), we throw ourselves in the fray, in the paint. We like to muck it up," Hibbert said. "Paul and myself, we wanted to make sure we got this for him as well. We didn't want this to be our last game."

Miami's Big Three — James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh — went just 14 of 40. Excluding James, Miami managed only 16 baskets — eight 3s and eight 2s.With Chris "Birdman" Andersen suspended for the game because of a shoving incident with Indiana forward Tyler Hansbrough on Thursday, the Heat couldn't keep up with Indiana's big rebounders inside. Even Lance Stephenson, who was not effective at Miami, finished with four points, 12 rebounds and four assists.Indiana's loud crowd created a hostile atmosphere, too.

The only way to do that is to win Game 7 and avoid a second straight playoff elimination at the hands of the Heat.For Miami, the stakes were so high that when James was called for an offensive foul midway through the fourth quarter, he lost his cool. James protested by running from one end of the court to the other, drawing a technical foul, and when Miami assistant coach David Fizdale showed his support for the league's four-time MVP, it drew another technical.George Hill answered by making free throws and Hibbert followed that with a layup, ending any chance of Miami making a late comeback.

softfilter Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Watching the Eastern Conference NHL finals between Bruins & Penguins, would flip over to TNT catch a score of the Heat, Pacers. Seen the Pacers had the game well in hand, once the hockey game was over switched back to Epsn, TNT. First impression was oh nooo don't tell me Indiana blew it, cause both networks were carrying a lengthy live post conference with Erik Spoelstra. .. Then i realized the Pacers did win... WTF? I don't give a sh*t what the Heat coach has to say.. I hate when they do this spend more time with the victors! but since Miami is the networks love child they must feel have honor contractual obligation... :sarcastic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night Gregory Campbell of the Bruins took a shot off the leg, during a penalty kill, and suffered a broken bone. He spent the next minute on the ice, participating in the penalty kill, because there wasn't a stoppage of play or an opportunity for a line change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
