OT: Miami Heat

[BOSSMANPC]

I just hate the NBA because of the players me first attitude. When they make a play they are paid to make they pound their chest looking into crowd for attention.

In the NHL they congratulate each other then go down the bench for a fist pump. That's how team mates should act, not like a bunch of self centered egomaniacs.

Give me college basketball any day esp March madness where they play for the school.

It's no coincidence that in international play the Americans sometimes struggle against countries that have far less talent because they play a team concept.

Basketball is boring... And that team is gay, trying to manipulate their future success, backfired in their face. I love it.

edit: not the team, every TEAM tries to manipulate their success, lol, I meant the three players.

I was wondering how this thread got to be 4 pages long......

But none of the Celtics get this kind of criticism. They got a freaking ESPN commercial when they got together. Besides that Bosh is really overrated. It is really only 'the big two'.

Allen and Garnett were traded to the Celtics. They didn't get together with Paul Pierce and form a super team.

Making fun of you because you post the same thing over and over and over to many of the threads I post in and never substantively respond to anything I write is neither asking you to walk on eggshells nor having sand in my vagina. If you are trying to be funny, then take it when it comes back and don't get sand in YOUR vagina and egg on a fight (see your post at 1:39am) by mocking me and telling me you're trying to bother me. If you are just trying to annoy, stop it - we came to this site to get away from that garbage.

Either way, you're in the wrong here and you're kind of being a dick.

You want to mock my choking dog team, my rapidly disappearing hairline, or my verbose nature, have at it. I self-deprecate all the time and don't mind a joke at my expense, but you're not being humorous. You're just harassing another poster for your own kicks. That's messed up and unwarranted.

Wait, when did LeBron leave Cleveland...?

Why are they pronounced Seltics instead of Keltics? That bother me and I blame you.

Does it really matter what happens in the NBA? The season is over before it even begins every year. Stern should give the Lakers the Championship & get it over with.

Ok bad example. I don't really follow basketball. What about the Av's when Teemu and Karyia both took less money to play in Colorado? Shaq leaving the Magic to go play with Kobe? There have been several examples of players trying to chase a title but they have never been as vehemently hated as the Heat.

Karl Malone and Ray Bourque come to mind as well.

Great examples. And Bourque gets absolutely no flack for his move to Colorado.

After spending nearly 20 years under Jeremy Jacobs and Harry Sinden, Ray gets a pardon for time served.

Yeah but Cleveland is a pretty horrible city. I would say that six or seven years in Cleveland is worse than twenty in Boston

I haven't been to either city so I can't really comment, although I do have plans to visit Boston at some point. The worst thing I hear about Boston is the traffic. Based on what I've heard, Cleveland would take Boston's traffic in a heartbeat.

Been to Boston twice, fun city

Hey now! Cleveland ain't so bad. Not many cities where you can buy a 3-BR home for under $100K and be 10-15 mins. from downtown.

Charlie Donovan: Hey Lou, how'd you like to manage the Indians this season?
Lou Brown: Can I get back to you Charlie, I got a guy on the other line about a set of whitewalls.

I actually did LOL to that one.

I don't understand the hatred for the Heat at all. Why don't people hate the Celtics? It is the same situation but they get a pass while the Heat seem to be Satan reincarnate. It makes absolutely no sense to me.

For me it was the way they did it, Did any of the celtics have an hour long special on ESPN to say im taking my talents to beantown.
