your bro JT is against okc lol.

I don't even know how to feel anymore =( but I'm banking on the "at least the champs beat us" card.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Doc Rivers is such a classy individual

 

[Novid]

While its bit too early for Durant, better earlier than never. Just wish the cornation took place on a different network. ESPN cant keep crying forever though James to win the big one. I mean thats partly the reason they overpaid the Stern gang?

 

[snack]

Heat in 6. Word.

 

[Glorified G]

I usually watch the games with my family and friends guys so not sure I would be able to meet up. Also I will be going to one of the games, not sure which one yet.

Well, you only have 2 games to choose from.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Series ended, I can give respect to the Boston Celtics and their big three. End of a great era (likely). Was great seeing them smash the Lakers, wish they had done it twice. Glad KG and Ray got their rings, and always respect Doc so much (Orlando?).

But they fucking didn't smash us twice.

Certainly not like Dallas smashed their Finals opponent last year.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Think about the sponsorship that is on the line for Durant and LeBron for this finals match up.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Heat in 7 imo.

Bit biased though since I'm so sick of hearing some of the nonsensical criticism that LeBron gets so I want the Heat to win so it will stop...

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Can't wait for opening night next season to watch the Celtics lift another one of these to the rafters:

 

[LuchaShaq]

Still think OKC is going to win.

That said glad Lebron played well in games 6-7 to make trolls look even more insane.


Glad the celtics got far letting me see way more playoff games in person this year than I expected.

 

[SoulPlaya]

At least people will now realize just how good Bosh is. Without him, Bulls would have easily beaten the Heat last year.

 

[KingGondo]

I truly think OKC is significantly better than Miami, but I'm still nervous because of the inexperience factor.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Well, you only have 2 games to choose from.

Are you an OKC fan or just a hater? I ask cause it's about time I get to know the enemy for this series. Should be fun.

 

[VPhys]

Dammit I need my Inside the NBA right about now.

 

[PBY]

Damn... This rondo presser is... Tense lol

 

[Nesotenso]

Bosh was big time. Finals are going to be interesting. Edge to OKC though.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Props to Rondo for trying to be as polite as possible to these reporters stupid questions.

 

[Lkr]

ok so
Sefolosha will abuse DWhistle
YNB will run circles around Chalmers
Durant has the length to contest LeBron's perimeter shots
Ibaka/Perkins will keep the Heat bullshit out of the paint

please?

 

[jman2050]

Heat are somewhat fortunate to face OKC merely because the Spurs would have been an absolute nightmare matchup for them.

That said, I favor OKC in this series by a bit.

 

[Glorified G]

Are you an OKC fan or just a hater? I ask cause it's about time I get to know the enemy for this series. Should be fun.

If I had to choose 2 teams in the league who I didn't want to be in the finals, these 2 would be it. But the heat is the lesser of the two evils, so.....

 

[Dr Prob]

SunhiLegend knows how to grind.

Good work dude. It's a very specific thing but you are the best at it.

Heat/Thunder

It's The Weather Channel Finals! Seattle Storm...I'm all pissed off.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

ok so
Sefolosha will abuse DWhistle
YNB will run circles around Chalmers
Durant has the length to contest LeBron's perimeter shots
Ibaka/Perkins will keep the Heat bullshit out of the paint

please?

Not so sure about this. And this is what I would bank on

 

[ryutaro's mama]

I truly think OKC is significantly better than Miami, but I'm still nervous because of the inexperience factor.

Dallas, Lakers, 5pur5...I think they are pretty damned experienced.

But you better hope Westbrook plays within himself.

 

[PBY]

Ugh. Of course espns talking heads saw this coming

 

[Syphon Filter]

I truly think OKC is significantly better than Miami, but I'm still nervous because of the inexperience factor.

I think they are way more experienced after the spurs series alone. They are moving the ball more than ever now.

 

[Black Mamba]

That Doc conference was pretty sad. Doc coaches with his heart, a lot.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Ugh. Of course espns talking heads saw this coming

They've completely turned it around chemistry wise in the last four days apparently.

 

[DJ88]

Hundreds of cars leaving the arena outside are having a celebratory honking right now.

 

[LuchaShaq]

ok so
Sefolosha will abuse DWhistle
YNB will run circles around Chalmers


please?

This.

Not to mention Ibaka is a great fit to guard Bosh, and then Lebron is going to be exhausted as fuck running around screens covering Durant because Battier is too washed up to do it.

Lebron will have to have one of the all time greatest series to even make it competitive.

 

[bjb]

Everything is setting itself up. LeBrick collapsing in the finals for two years in a row.

Can't wait for the "get a life" press conference while Bosh is in tears (again).

 

[Zep]

Lets see how OKC reacts if Miami gets into the paint and Ibaka tries to swat everything...Bosh is gonna have a field day.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Is Mike Wilbon arguing that Wade can play absolutely terrible in the first-half and it will be fine for Miami, what

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Just got back in. Nice win for Miami, particularly James putting up a big 4th quarter. Could Heat-Age finally get a chip? I still say Thunder win this but I am not as sure as I was.

 

[ph33nix]

Wait so watching the Celtics lose means Pacquiao is fucking pissed right?

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Cant see Miami winning. Harden will be a nightmare cover for them.

 

[KingGondo]

Dallas, Lakers, 5pur5...I think they are pretty damned experienced.

But you better hope Westbrook plays within himself.

He has shown a ton of growth thus far in the playoffs, and a ton of maturity in accepting his role. I think the real lightbulb moment was game 4 against Dallas, and Brooks finally realized that YNB shouldn't be handling the offense in crunch time.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

TROLL FOULS FOR EVERYONE!

 

[Lkr]

ok so all the shit about this being the end of boston's big three confuses me. why wouldn't kg take a paycut to stay in Boston? no one is going to pay him big money anywhere as it is

 

[MiamiWesker]

Buddy of mine in Hialeah says he hears some banging of pots in the streets. We didn't do shit yet... sigh my heritage.

U Cuban?

 

[Mxrz]

I'm conflicted at rooting for Heat. I would like LBJ to get the chip, but I can't stand DWade.

Just hold your nose and think about the meltdowns. It sort of works.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Yup. This is huge and shows Brooks finally realizes that whether he lucks out and gets Bestbrook or has Worstbrook its not worth the risk.

 

[iamshadowlark]

Got damn it we made it. I honestly didn't think we would beat them without Bosh and I think I was right. OKC is definitely the best matchup because of our similar styles. I love our chances.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Lol. Wesker you are a bad ass.

Derek Fisher better get a a Game 4 (ORL) or Game 3 (BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-STON) performance for you guys.

 

[alr1ght]

You work for the Heat?

 

[Lkr]

idk why the Heat are so excited to win the ECF. they did it last year too. i can understand the Thunder players being happy since Perkins/Fisher are the only ones with experience. i just don't think the heat will be mentally sharp in game 1. boston wore them down and okc is going to run circles around them

What are you talking about?

 

[Lkr]

What are you talking about?

did you not see Bosh on the court? lmao

 

[LuchaShaq]

Please Lebron could average 40-15-15-5-5 and people would just give credit to wade for being a "leader" even if the leadership entails walking back on D and crying about calls for a whole defensive possession.


Calling it now, if OKC loses it will be largely impart due to Brooks playing shitty Fisher too much, Royal fucking ivey is better at this point despite 2 half decent fisher games.
