Game Thread: NBA FINALS!!! SA vs MIA

[purguy12]

ill admit I don't like LeBron. I haven't liked him since the dancing bs in Cleveland and checking out in his final playoff game in cleveland against boston in the 4th. the bs during the decision just added to the fire. ill admit he has matured and is by far the best player in the league. he just isn't likeable. he is a drama king. the comments today just add to it. say u don't care what other people think. good. leave it at that. don't bring in this "easy target" sympathy garbage.

LBJ reminds of Arod in a way(with out the PEDs). Very easy to dislike. They never say the right thing and when they think they are doing something good they are really doing it for another reason.

I think its very easy to dislike LBJ as a NBA fan because we were use to great players wanting to be the man, wanting to win for his team and LBJ took the easy way out. He gave up in a way of being the MAN…the King. U notice people don't really call him King James anymore. He isn't the King of his franchise anymore. Don't get me wrong he is the best player on Miami but everyone knows its Wades team.

First stop with he wouldn't have won in cleveland. No one knows that. 2nd he made it to the Finals already with Cleveland so the chances are good that he would of made it again especially in the Weak East.

Was he lying about being an easy target? What other player in the 4 major sports is consistently criticized for being the best in the world? Tony Romo gets criticized a lot but he sucks so it's different

AROD gets more heat, then any other Athlete I have seen.

I like Cole defense on Parker last night. I think both guys will play better in game 2.

gotta be honest, Cole did a decent job there...

 

[purguy12]

he is an easy target but he shouldn't say it. it comes off as whiney imo.

I agree. If he knew how to talk to the media like Payton, Jeter or Tim Duncan he would be loved but he is so bad at talking to the media.

 

[podsox]

He scored 10pts in the 4th of that game. Went 3-5 and 2-2 from the line.

How is that "checking out?"

in the final 1:30 he literally stopped playing when they were down 5. the entire team did. Celtics got an offense rebound and they didn't foul, didn't pressure d, just sat back and let them run more clock

very true.

Gotta love Heat fans STILL trying to tell people who don't like Lebron, the real reason they don't like him instead of accepting what they're told.

Who are you to say what is checking out & what not ? You're the same guy that said Duncan fired shot's at the Heat, wich everyone laughed at your comment. What a joke everything is that comes out of your pipe. Good job, keep us laughing buddy.

They were down by 7 when Boston called a TO with 1:36 left.

1:27 Garnett makes a 6 footer. They're now up 9.

James turns it over with 1:17 left. Still down by 9.

59 seconds left PP misses a 3, Garnett offensive rebound.

That offensive rebound pretty much sealed it.

They don't like him because "they don't know anything about basketball."

Only Heat fans truly know the game and appreciate it.

u remember it a lot more clearly than I do. I just remember watching the end of the game and thinking I cant believe he is giving up. throws his jersey off and that was the end of his Cleveland days

 

[Jims_Doors]

It's not that I remember it more clearly. Just got the info from here.

[Heatles84]

Don't think hes talking about you.


He's referring to the legion of people who have nothing to do but hate lebron

I'll tell you right now, the Spurs definitely have their fair share of bandwagon fans. I moved to San Antonio this past March, while a good friend of mine moved a few months prior to me. Ever since then he's been on the Spurs band wagon. Contrary to popular belief, Miami's not the only fanbase that has bandwagoners.

Any good team will attract them. I live in SoCal, the epicenter of bandwagon fans.

 

[fordman84]

So in LBJ's 2nd year with the Heat? Dallas made sure Miami wasn't the powerhouse in 6 games

Actually we lost to Dallas in year 1.

Ok, I'm lost. I am very damn sure I said Dallas, but you apparently think I said Dallas. Maybe lapdog Heatles who thinks your comment is so smart could step in and explain to me what I'm missing.

 

[RobToxin]

And any good team will attract their bandwagon haters.

You should always take having haters as a good sign. It means you are relevant. You matter.

I mean:

who hates the Minnesota Timberwolves?

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

He was correcting the year (1st not 2nd) not the team (Dallas).


It is not a big deal. The sentiment was the same.....grammar mistakes happen.


The point really had nothing to do with whether it was year 1 or year 2.

They're only slightly more relevant than the Celtics.
