How great would it be if Wade closed out every finals Heat win and got the Finals MVP. Best player, NBA champion, second fiddle. Nah, I'd rather whoever wins WCF to win it all, it'd be more deserved anyway.

But they won't win that way. Wades body is too broken down from years of rampant steroid and valtrex abuse. If the Heat win it all, it will be because LeBron has a lot more games like the one he just had, in which case his "best player on the planet" title will be cemented.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

More deserved my ass.

What I meant was Jazz/Clips/OKC and Dallas/LAL/SAS is immensely more difficult than hobbled Knicks/Indy/Celt or Sixers. ECF could easily include the 8 seed. Imagine if OKC or SAS had to face The Jazz to get to the finals, that's insane.

To make the west equivlent of The East path to the finals OKC would face Dallas with only two starters and one will have to play through a flu, then LAL then Clips or Jazz in The WCF. That's a sick joke.

Indy is giving MIA all they can handle. So will boston. Where as SAS has swept thru the first two rounds and OKC basically had a 5 game sweep. You are two focused on paper matchups instead of the ball thats actually being played.

If MIA was to beat SAS/OKC then it would be as deserved as the other way around.

Miami had to face an Indiana Pacers that wouldn't do crap in the West and only has had luck against Miami due to Bosh not playing. Boston is old as ass and is having trouble with Phili (the 8th seed). Miami going to the east is a forgone conclusion to anyone that watches basketball. It isn't impressive nor is it more deserving than what the Thunder and Spurs have done.

MIA is having trouble with a not so good team and? They're out their third best player and will probably still win, that's a testament to the weak east.

I agree that if MIA can topple SAS/OKC then that would be title worthy but their path there is laughable. MIA probably could have swept Utah, but don't think for a second that Western seeds 1 through 5 maybe even 6 would most likely be in the finals if they were out east, making SAS and OKC more deserving to me.

Its not a forgone conclusion that Miami even beats the Pacers. LBJ had to have an GOAT playoff game and wade had to drop 30 for us to win. The role players still haven't showed up and will be somehow even worse against BOS. There isn't another duo in the league that could win with the roster and production we have now.

Thunder nor spurs have done shit. MIA fully healthy would be to the WCF in 9 games with either of their schedules. If MIA can make it to the finals, get Bosh back, and win it would be impressive as hell. I don't know what you're on about.

Miami is expected to win it all. I mean they guaranteed it. They're working on their back to back chip right now. Playing in the east is a benefit that any team in the west would enjoy, including Utar.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Why. Why are you rooting for the Heat?

Part of me wants Bron to step it up and tell everybody to fuck off when he wins, haha.

I personally think if the Heat win it all, it will be because he is going off (with Wade still doing great). More games like the last Pacers game.

Logically though, I think Spurs are gonna win it. But the Clips suck on defense, so I don't know how much that dismantling will transfer to OKC.

Plus, TCB's posts make me hate the Spurs (not Job's or Bat's), haha.

If OKC wins, it will be funny to see funny to see YNB hype faces and antics.

Are the Pacers even Denver good?

So you'd prefer to root for a team whose star player compared the media's treatment of the team to that of 9/11? Come on man. You're better than that.

Are the Pacers even Denver good?

No. And thats the point. Lakers were taken to a game 7 by the Nuggets and the Nuggets are better than the Pacers who has taken the Heat to at least a game 6.

All that shows is that Miami is under performing. Congrats. You're still playing an overrated team in the Pacers in an overrated conference. It's the equivalent of the Lakers being taken to 7 games by the Nuggets and saying 'SEE, THE LAKERS DID PLAY A GREAT TEAM!!!' instead of realizing that the Lakers underperformed.

I think you are seriously underestimating the quality of basketball that OKC and SA have played, and suggesting it's lack of competition.

It's not that the Lakers/Clippers suck, it's that the Thunder/Spurs are playing great bball, at the right time.

Right. Wasn't that the plan all along? All you needed was Bosh, Wade, and Lebron to win it all! 8 rings here we come!

And now that the plan is floundering two years in, you are saying, "well, how are we supposed to win with this garbage?!"

Hint: Figure out the single constant with every Lebron-lead team.

Indiana would do good in the west. They play ugly, grind it out shit ball and they are good at sucking people into their style. The clippers made it to the second round and they aren't a better team than the Pacers. The Pacers actually play defense and have bigs that can hit jumpers and box out.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

So that LeBron can take his rightful place as king of the nba and people can stop embarrassing themselves by thinking that Durant is in the same class?

Lebron is too much of a choker to be king of the nba. You're just dick riding him because most others hate on him. Stick to RG3, it's more natural for you!

Of course except that statement is true. The Heat at full strength couldn't sweep an injured Knicks squad. WTF man? Thunder swept the defending champions and the Spurs swept two teams that were better playoff matchups than the Knicks.
