Chris played about as good as he was going to play in that series offensively, and he wasn't going to stop 2011 Dirk no matter what so yea it doesn't really matter.

Injuries are part of the game.
this is how lakers-age drops property value smh
This too
He was talking about the 2012 Czzz series comparison. That series is done in 5 if Bosh wasn't injured.

Yes they are and if they lost that's that. But "the Celtics almost beat LeBron" because Bosh was out, not because LeBron sucked

I won't disagree.
Yea my fault I forgot about that. Still don't think 2012 heat beat 2011 Mavs though.
oh, you're talking about something else then. nm
even then, there is absolutely no excuse for the heat getting fuckballed - and it carried over into C's series. Where a gimped Garnett and missing Bradley were there. So again, its silly
there definitely isn't an excuse. even without bosh, games 4 and 5 were a complete disgrace from miami's end. but i wouldn't have pinned those problems on lebron
the 2011 mavs were a good team but holy shit are they getting overrated imo. they were good but let's not forget every one of those games came down to the 4th quarter, and it required both a massive lebron choke and Mavs scrubs hitting some crazy ass shots near the end. shawn marion was making miraculous post shots and jason terry was hitting shit falling out of bounds
dirk was fantastic in the first 3 rounds but he wasn't god-like in the finals. he made shots when it counted most and he gets credit for that. but in the first 4 games we had basically outplayed the most of the time but the 4th quarters....yeah i don't even want to think about it. the only game where Dallas had our number completely was game 6.
I am one of the more rational, knowledgeable posters on this board.

The 2011 Mavs were really good, but that team was pretty up-and-down and their playoff run needed Kidd to go from the corpse he was in the regular season to a good player and for Terry to get super hot.

Why are you guys talking about 2009 and 2010 teams. Let's stop living in the past and start living in the current. So, guys, how badly will the Lakers shatter the regular season win record? I have them at 75-7 but that's a conservative estimate assuming Dwight might miss some time early.
83-0. Extra win when they shit on every team in the league by 20 points.

Pimp, want to bet $100 that Lakers go 72-10 this season?
Oh, nevermind... we're not talking about the 2011 Miami Heat
They may get that extra win but they're still due for another season sweep from the Bobcats
Excuse me while I go laugh hysterically in a corner.
I am the only NBA GAFer rational enough to give LeBron the full measure of hatred he deserves.
You have a loli avatar. Your opinion is invalid.

How will you feel next Summer when LeBron has four times as many MVPs as Kobe?

73 and 9.
come at me world.
That regular season doesn't mean shit, that Kobe on a good team from 05-07 could have won it all three years, that 06 Kobe was better than LeBron in any year, and that Kobe will have six times as many rings as LeBron.
Pointing out avatars is a Frankman-tier defense mechanism. You have nothing. Nothing I tell ya!

Depending on how much Dwight misses, I have The Lakers around 60 wins this year.
I'll admit that Akihiko is a boss and nothing more
The same way I feel about Phil Jackson having a grand total of 1 CotY awards.
Who gives a shit. The rings, bitch. Kiss them.
All 3 of the top WC teams should be around 60 wins. All in different divisions, all clearly the best team in their division.
Lakers are gonna shit on 95% of the league--only Denver, OKC and SA have the perimeter game to challenge them, IMO.
Lakers would beat the Heat easily, as well.

He didn't really come close to winning MVP last year in voting and then he got destroyed in the Finals by LeBron.

Almost getting CP, getting a past prime Nash and then trading a top 5 center for the best center in the league has driven people insane.
wow that must have been some year
I'd call number 2 close....lebron's gonna go back to his norm (Loaned a quarter)

It was closer than third place....Lebron's not winning another mvp. I can bet on that. I wager melo or durant.
EDIT: And paul
The hell is this?
Real talk Jman. Real talk.
Avatar bet? Tho I already have one for saying Mcgee will be an all-star this year.
