Who's going to play the Pacers in the Finals?

[Shaqdaddy11]

Yea because landing Gasol is the same level as landing Lebron/Wade/Bosh

Two moves that ended in two championships for each team.

Main difference is the Lakers weren't dicks about it!

How many MVPs and Finals MVP has Gasol won? And dont use the term ended. The heat book is still open.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Comparing Gasol to The King.

Epic fail.

We are talking about possibly the best player ever. Cmon.

Is that how you interpreted that? That's cute.

Who's talking about MVPs?!? Are we going to measure dick sizes next?

We're talking championships here.

I don't remember a whole lot of heat fans starting threads about who they were going to play in the finals...

That's because they were too busy starting threads talking about how they were going to sweep through the playoffs and finals. They figured it didn't matter who they played.

Also, you honestly think someone is a dick for having a party and celebrating?

People in this world are WAY to sensitive. I wouldnt care if the Lakers had a party after Gasol. I dont get why anyone would. Thinking people were dicks for having parties.. ive heard it all.

And you don't think the Heat were cocky to celebrate before they had even stepped on court together?

not one.. not two.. not three..

that wasnt a prediction, that was a mother fucking threat.

 

[HammerDown]

Heat fans are nouveau riche trying to pretend like they've always been here. They've got a long, long way to go...

"What do all those jerseys and banners have to do with anything?" - Heat "fans"

No, they were the laughing-stock of sports fans everywhere.

Cocky.. absolutely. But dicks? No.

I grew up in south florida in the 1980s during the time of the great Miami Hurricane Dynasty. I love cockiness in sports. Athletes in general are cocky SOBs. Hard not to be cocky in your 20s when you have millions and never get told no.

It's a little hard for me to hear the laughing nowadays over the noise those two banners keep making.

 

[trojanfan12]

the fact that you guys still can't figure how tongue in cheek that was is pathetic

So now it was "tongue in cheek"!! It's only taken Heat fans almost 4 years to add THAT excuse to the list!!

I suppose when Lebron and D-Wade were making fun of Nowitzki being sick, that was "tongue in cheek" too!!

Has nothing to do with that celebration they held.

Actually, going back to the original topic, the "mother fucking threat" are the Indiana Pacers now.

And its got the poor little heat fans running scared.

 

[trojanfan12]

At least they backed their shit up. 2 rings and almost 3 in 3 years. Yeah cockiness I don't like, but when you back it up it doesn't seem as bad.

They haven't backed it up though. It was not 1, not 2, not 3.....all the way to what? 7? 8? And they didn't even win it in the 1st season together.

Looks like they're going to fall pretty far short of that 7 or 8 thing too. They're going to have enough trouble getting the 3rd.

 

[ThruTheEyesOfRuby]

The Pacers quite obviously will face the mighty Wizards in the Eastern Conference Finals... might even sneak away with a series win if the ball bounces their way. And the Heat have to get their rings NOW before the inevitable Wiz Dynasty.. can't blame them at all for gettin' it while the gettins good.

(lol... hey, gotta trump the team.. gotta be me)

On a serious note, it's still hard for me to back away from the Spurs as the team the Pacers meet should they get to the NBA Finals. Everytime I count the Spurs out as too slow, or too old, or too this-and-that, they find a way to surprise me. Out there in the wild wild west... who the hell knows? It'll probably all boil down to who has the hot hand and momentum in June.. no matter what their record or seeding.

Lets be honest here, yes the Miami Heat are the undeniable back to back NBA champions but they were far from impressive in the playoffs and finals. No where near as dominant as the 90s Bulls or the 2000s Lakers

As i've said before, the Heat didn't win; the Spurs lost.

The 2012 & 2013 Heat lost 7 games while the 98 Bulls lost 6 games (remember the first round was shorter back then) and the Heat win % in 2012 & 2013 was higher than the 98 Bulls in the playoffs. The 1992 Bulls went 15-7

The 2000 Lakers went 15-7 while the 2009 & 2010 Lakers had the same exact postseason record as the 2012 & 2013 Heat which was 16-7.

Basically the Bulls teams were more dominant than the Heat outside of the 98 Bulls but the Lakers were only dominant in 2 of their 5 titles. In their other 3 titles they either had a lower winning % or the same winning % in the playoffs as the 2012 & 2013 Heat

Oh cool.. the 16 title thing again. Is that the default argument when laker fans start making no sense? Cool you have 16 titles.. some from the 40s/50s and in Minneapolis. 11 from before Miami was even a franchise. Congrats. You won the argument over which team has the most titles.. which wasnt being argued. But you won it.

Paul George can't do shit with LBJ guarding him, they still turn the ball over too much, and they leave Miami shooters too open. Miami will win in 6 if both teams are healthy
