At least I'm trying unlike LeBrizzle in 2010. HEY O.

Got nothing for that. I claim it.

 

[PBY]

Whoever loses we all win.

Emwitus gonna emwitus

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Essentially- it was a lebatard skit last year

he is wrong. carlisle isn't the most uninteresting person in the world. its impossible to quantify that. there are over 5 billion people on this planet. how do you even define and measure being uninteresting? god, leave it to the heat fans.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

LOL I love the over confidence....Can't wait for tonight's game! Whoever loses we all win.

Spoken like a true loserbro

 

[CrazyDogg77]

Is there a possibility Seattle could get a team again?

 

[jman2050]

KingGondo, are you really going to ignore the lessons of JT?

Where does the tech magnate that just bought the Grizzlies live?

 

[TylerD]

Lil Wayne is going to be courtside tonight.

@DarnellMayberry

In the house tonight for Game 1 will be none other than Lil Wayne (@LilTunechi)...He bought two courtside tickets.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Lil Wayne is going to be courtside tonight.

@DarnellMayberry

Lil wayne is as much a poser as the heat.

Residence: San Jose, CA

Because we need more SoCal teams!

 

[Grover Cleveland]

That would be super cray, doubt it happens more than once if at all. If Heat win it'll be on the backs of Wade Bron and Bosh.

I think Harden alone can come up bigger than Miami's supporting cast. And OKC's role player most always come up big at home.

I'm betting on most of the Thunder (outside of Perkins, Fish, and Muhammed) getting the classic "trapped in the moment/emotion of playing in their first Finals, playing in their first Finals home game" and their play is negatively affected as a result.


It'll only be for this first game though, I don't expect the Thunder to be continually bested by Rio Chalmers, Udonis Haslem, the Warden, Ronny Turiaf, James Jones, Cole World, Shane Battier, and the walking corpse of Mike Miller.

 

[KingGondo]

KingGondo, are you really going to ignore the lessons of JT?

How am I acting in any way like JT? I said the same stuff before the Lakers series, and I was right.

Making predictions about style of play or the general flow of the series is not what JT does.

JT acts like his team winning is an inevitability, plus he's a huge asshole about it.

Where's the tech magnate that just bought the Grizzlies live?

He lives in NorCal (Silicon Valley), but Grizz are locked into their arena lease until about 2021 (with heavy economic incentives to prevent them moving). Plus, the Grizz are good so there would be strong community resistance to a move.

 

[ratcliffja]

KingGondo, are you really going to ignore the lessons of JT?

JT was extremely obnoxious and cocky. Gondo is just confident in his team. He thinks his team will win but isn't proclaiming that the series is over before it's even begun.

 

[CrazyDogg77]

Does Lil Wayne even cheer for or a certain team?

 

[PBY]

Does Lil Wayne even cheer for or a certain team?

The team that wins.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

The team that wins.

Just like the Heat fans.

 

[PBY]

So hes a Heat fan.

Not after game six last year

 

[Grover Cleveland]

The team that wins.

Lil Wayne=Snoop Dogg?

 

[CrazyDogg77]

Just like the Heat fans.

Wasn't he bitching last year because DWade and LeBron didn't high five him.

 

[PBY]

So that didn't work on my phone

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

It's a fine line.

 

[Iron E Man]

Just saw this on Twitter. You've gotta be fucking kidding me.

LET IT GO.

Pretty sure thats a photoshop

 

[iamshadowlark]

Just like the Heat fans.

LMAO he's a Laker fan. He does remind me alot of you now that I think about it.

 

[Vire]

Wade is going to be big in this series.

He always steps up come Finals time. Dude is a Finals monster...

He's not the one I'm worried about.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Huh? I've been a fan since birth, brah. BIRTH!!

 

[Vire]

Mindblown.

 

[Black Mamba]

Heat forward Shane Battier said it wouldn't even matter if there was a supernatural visitor.

"I'm such a heavy sleeper," he said. "I have two kids, so I've learned to feign a deep sleep so my wife has to wake up with the kids. It's going to take a little more than a ghost to wake me up in the middle of the night."

Why would you admit this, Shane? Now your wife is going to make sure your ass gets up.

at least he isn't doug christie

 

[CrazyDogg77]

Battier is dumb.

 

[KingGondo]

Yeah, it is.

I was fooled, I admit.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

In Battier's shoes I'd simply roll onto my side, face her and whisper, "I'm a motherfucking millionaire." And go back to bed.

[diehard]

i don't know who i want to lose.

someone convince me.

 

[CrazyDogg77]

Rondo did well against the heat. You don't like Rondo therefore anyone or anything who makes him look good is bad.

 

[Byakuya769]

i don't know who i want to lose.

someone convince me.

Kevin Durant is starring in Thuderstruck.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

I once heard someone say Bron was more Stockton than he is MJ, surely you take exception to this.

 

[iamshadowlark]

classy.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

[SamuraiX-]

He's not the one I'm worried about.

I would be when guys like YNB, Sef, and Frauden are gonna be tag-teaming his ass for 48 minutes.

 

[Byakuya769]

classy.

Lighten up.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Lighten up.

Just don't start talking about the flyboy movie and the airforce vs army. He doesn't appreciate that.

 

[TylerD]

Kevin Durant is starring in Thuderstruck.

but, but it's for kids!

Spoiler

It looks SO bad.

 

[giri]

Where does the tech magnate that just bought the Grizzlies live?

The owner of the grizz pulled out of selling the team to balmer cause he wanted to move the team to Seattle.

That was 2 years ago.

The new owner has emphatically stated he has no intention to move the team.

just like Clay Bennett?

There is gonna be some hell to be had on the perimeter.

If Battier can't stay with Durant, and people will find out really quick if he can or not, then LBJ will be on him - leaving Wade and Chalmers to try and deal with Westbrook and Harden. And without help (or the benefit of a Rondocushion) it'll be the biggest challenge that the backcourt will have ever seen.

 

[giri]

I don't think bennett ever promised that.

But more to the point, there's no way the 4 cali teams OK a 5th one to move there.

If Bosh is healthy, along with Joel, they atleast have the bigs that are capable of being useful in help defense and keeping them out of the lane.

The series essentially comes down to wade vs harden.
