Instantly canceled out by acting like a massive d-bag. Can't wait for the Heat to stomp them again.

A Miami fan is complaining about another team featuring douchebags? You can't write this shit.

 

[Bread]

This thread has a lot of idiots. Just because some don't post here play by = who are you? and lifelong responses. Lebron and D-Wade are 2 of the most popular stars in the NBA, why the fuck are you surprised that some are happy for them?

Seriously STFU and stay salty

Edit:

Bulls don't stand a chance. Mavericks could upset the Heat.

People that don't post here all season and come in here to talk shit deserve to be shit on.

 

[YuriLowell]

NBA Gaf is best GAF.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Id say Grizz and Mavs. Randolph and Gasol will pose problems, but I don't know if their perimeter players can keep bron and wade at bay. As far as Dallas, they are just extremely compared to Miami.

The Grizz are mostly about ball denial and playing passing lanes. That doesn't effect the Heat (Or Hawks) at all.

 

[Sanjuro]

How many of those games did they have Shaq?

How many .500+ teams did they beat w/ this current squad?

Probably a bunch and a decent amount. Shaq playing at a level he did early would have been huge, just didn't work out that way. Like reilo pointed out, Tony Allen was probably one of the biggest losses. Our team was stitched together. The way Miami beat us Perkins would not have been a major factor. Allen could have come off the bench and covered anybody on this Heat team.

 

[jman2050]

Dudes, acting like the Celtics were some terrible team that lucked their way into the second round just to knock the Heat down a peg isn't the right way to go about this. Both teams have major problems that they had to deal with when facing each other.

 

[Derwind]

Except it was ALL OF YOU that said we had no chance against the Celtics all year... And its all of you that said we have no chance against the Bulls. And of course NO chance to win it all. Lets see.

You do remember why they favoured Boston though right? At the time the Celtics had the advantage at the Center position, which they don't now. =(

Still, I don't remember anyone saying they had "no chance" more like, they have to get through them at some point before before the Triple-L's can daydream about a championship.

You guys have my permission to daydream.

=)

And he is a Len Bias fan.

Jeff Green isn't worthy enough to wear #8, he disrespected Antoines number

We need Walter McCarty back, dat WALTTTEERR

True but the Two towers of Memphis will be clogging up the lane, at the same time they will have their way with bosh and Anthony/Iggy on the offensive end.

Heat can not stop zbo and gasol no way in hell. Inside domination all series for the grizz.

 

[punkypine]

It was a great accomplishment beating a team that had a one-armed PG for over half the series and an injury riddled bench. Not to mention the Perkins trade that completely FUBARed team chemistry.

This was not the same Celtics from last year. Yet the Heat players are prancing around like they just won the championship. They're going to be in for a rude surprise when they realize the remaining teams are far more healthy and more athletic than the Celtics.

Fuck the Heat anyway. You guys had to teamup two superstars and a perenial all-star in their primes just to take out the Boston Geriatrics. Outside of Wade, the Heat are filled with pussys. Pussy Bosh and Pussy Lebron. Lebron wouldn't have even been in the position to dagger the Celts if Wade hadn't carried the team for 3 quarters.

Lebron gets Kudos for playing well for a quarter and a half? Really? Fuck that. Fuck that no one is calling him out on his uneven inconsistent performance tonight. It's easy to pose for a couple of 3 point daggers when Wade carried your ass the whole game.

The Celtics should have exposed the Heat, but it just wasn't going to happen with Rondo playing with one arm and with the age of the rest of the vets. It seems like they kept getting gassed in the 4th quarters all series long.

stop being so bitter, Kobe plays a good game for 4 quarters every 3rd season these days and still gets tons of hype. KG has been mediocre for 2 years now and is still hyped up. Go look up some of Jordans games when he was winning titles... mediocre shooting %, hits the game winners, legendary game. thats how it works, stop crying about it

you play yourself as the logical one all the time, so be logical for 2 god damn seconds, acknowledge that he had a good ending to the game, and root for them to lose the next round instead of desperately cling to the hope that people will somehow realize this series was a fraud

 

[Ninjimbo]

As a Heat fan, this has to be one of the best wins ever. This entire city is going nuts.

Would a healthy Shaq (ie before January) been a major factor?

 

[MiamiWesker]

Most everyone is saying the Heat are gonna steamroll the Bulls

Now, sure. But before, holy hell. NBA-GAF had the Heat losing in the first round to like the Bucks or something. Crows are going to be an endangered species by the end of these playoffs.

 

[Sanjuro]

I may be wrong, but I've always had a soft spot for Antoine. I bought his fucking basketball sneakers back in the day. Before he got fat, guy was a baller for a while.

 

[Blackface]

Tough time dealing with kobe being #2 huh?

Kobe is a lot lower then 2. He couldn't even beat Jason Kidd off the dribble.

 

[Bread]

I don't think that anyone's saying they were terrible, they were just a team basically handicapped by the front office.

 

[YuriLowell]

A healthy Shaq would have been a big factor. We had no inside game at all.

Celtics have not been the same team since Perk left. Its the fucking truth.

 

[Sanjuro]

Would a healthy Shaq (ie before January) been a major factor?

Shaq when healthy has more game and intelligence than Perkins will ever have. Allen was a soldier and the only reason we stayed alive in the finals last year guarding Kobe, he would have done the same in this series.

And I'm a Antoine Walker/LeBron James/Lucky fan.

that championship doesn't mean much I guess...

Walker needed somebody to kick his ass for attempting 3s when he was younger. Instead he got paid.

 

[ph33nix]

Peace out homies too many drive by posters I dont wanna associate myself with

You and I are on the same page brother

and you're only a junior too. somebody upgrade this man!

 

[Sanjuro]

Rick Pitino and Jim O'Brien. nuff said.

 

[aktham]

STFU and get out.

You post twice all fucking year.

Must have been at all those sellout games.

I'm too busy going to some of the games. You stay hatin' bitter scrub LOL

Edit: excuse me for having a life and not posting play by play

 

[thekad]

So in other news, was Lebron going ham the second* most clutch performance these playoffs?




*Nothing compares to Roy.

 

[YuriLowell]

Rick Pitino and Jim O'Brien. nuff said.

I blame the stupid fucking owners at the time.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

That was an awesome cross-court pass.

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

Really?

 

[ryutaro's mama]

They were more excited the night they retired Jeffrey's, er...Marino's number.

 

[Pkaz01]

wow battier wtf was that

 

[Vestal]

In the mean time... we got a pretty good game going here..

 

[Bread]

Would a healthy Shaq (ie before January) been a major factor?

I think so, they've been forced to play Baby at C a lot in the playoffs, Shaq would have been a huge upgrade if he was playing at that early season level.

 

[Sanjuro]

I blame the stupid fucking owners at the time.

I always heard about racism in Boston. I was never exposed to it in my generation, but I'm pretty sure ML Carr could have caused me to hate black people.

And I'm a Dino Raja fan.

This hurts me deep.

It's a shame. I always thought he had a decent post game, but he would rather just jack 3s.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

and you're only a junior too. somebody upgrade this man!

Hey ph33nix, I never said this! but congrats man on the victory. You're one of the classy ones.

REMEMBER, NEVER SAID IT!

 

[friskykillface]

I may be wrong, but I've always had a soft spot for Antoine. I bought his fucking basketball sneakers back in the day. Before he got fat, guy was a baller for a while.

Antonie was awesome , I remember some person wrote "Antonie was traded! What the fuck" in high school on a chalk board when it happened.


I loved that guy, never forgot" the big 4" of Gary Payton,Antonie Walker, Paul Pierce and Ricky Davis lol

 

[Lion Heart]

Dwanye Wade is a really sexy motherfucker.

And I'm a Vagina fan.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

This hurts me deep.

What are you gonna do man?

You just gon' let 50 do you like that?

REP YO HOOD!!!

 

[MiamiWesker]

They have Wade, Bron, and Bosh and still can't sell out games? Sad...


and I'm a Mike Bibby fan.

Enough of this.

Every game is sold out. We get there late.

So the answer is yes.

If Shaq is starting, is the bench unit better with JO backing him up rather than Baby?

 

[YuriLowell]

They could take on anything!

Except the Nets.

 

[TheFatOne]

Well, they did need a backup for Pierce once Quis went down. It was just a really fucked up way of getting one.

I always thought of Shaq as the backup option until Perk came back. Ainge obviously knew better. Obviously.

It's true that the Celtics needed a backup for Pierce, but should never trade starters for backups. Just sucks to see Ainge kill a team half way into the season

 

[Sanjuro]

So the answer is yes.

Baby would have gotten minutes over JO in all probabilities in the argument that Shaq was healthy. JO would been told to get the surgery done.

As a Heat fan, this has to be one of the best wins ever. This entire city is going nuts.

It's the second round. Jesus, that city is not normal...

 

[YuriLowell]

Why the fuck didnt anyone go, "Danny WTF are you doing and slap him back to reality?"
