These are both true
I really hope Bosh starting actually does make a damn difference, he may not be as honed in on defense right now but after watching our bigs fumble away the ball and do nothing with it, minimizing any runs we can have, it won't matter

Sancha's wrong even when he's right
You need a big in there to slow down KG. The problem is that when KG is benched, you don't have anybody there to exploit the weakness. Lebron has to defend the center when KG is in, and when he is out he refers back to his usual role. Anthony/Haslem don't cut it. Haslem is the biggest offender. His stat line shows him playing ok, but his IQ has been all kinds of shocking and turns it over at critical moments in the game. If you are losing tonight and Spo doesn't put Bosh in in the 4th, I am gonna feel real bad seeing Miami go out.

The good thing is that after the finals we still have the Olympics to look forward to.

I laughed so hard at that part. Like where did that even come from.
Miami might come back and win this series but it won't be to a Boston meltdown. Boston seems to relish too much in mocking the heat and the players generally hate the heat team. I don't see Boston taking their foot off the gas, but Miami can still beat them if they remember they aren't the beat up, hobbling, old team.

Came from Durant having tons of tats expertly hidden on his upper body in the shape of a basketball jersey to maintain his humble small town image.
Seeing Westbrook/Rondo/Durant freeze out LeBron/Wade/Bosh is going to be gold.
Fixed.
I'd be surprised if Rondo makes the Olympic team (although I love watching him play and I love his demeanor).
He didn't even make the FIBA team.
Ah, the talk of "Is Durant the best player in the league?" has begun. And the answer is a resounding "No!" over and over again. I'd still trade Granger to get him, though.
Only LeBron and Chalmers are young, healthy, and talented. Everyone else on that team is old, injured, and/or crappy.

Celtics can still fuck this up
Smh at lots of people around Boston already having finals plans.
I still say that Manu "charge" and Durant clearly moving was a huge call, Manu shifted to the right and caught Durant, heh

Oh the only tat of Durant's I've seen is the one on his back. In fact doesn't Timmy have at least one tat on his back too.

Gaming age is a fricken mess. Nintendo fans are talking themselves off the bridge with a new thread every 10 min.
Yeah he definitely doesn't want to draw attention to those arms.

I don't think the presence of tats take away from his personality. I mean if you see his tats they're Bible verses, symbols of people he loved who passed and a Nationals logo. Nothing really proclaiming himself king or stuff like that.

..Pretty close.
Damn I am petty today.
He's not but sometimes it's not the best player who can lead his team to a championship. Is LeBron decidedly better than Durant at this point of their careers? Yes. Does LeBron possess certain qualities (mostly mental and attitude) that negate that advantage he has over Durant and his other opponents? Hell yes.
He needs to come here and give Heat age a prep talk on how to stay positive.

Yea or a fresh faced (lol) young guy who is clean cut appeals to the mainstream and older folk more than a tatted up 23 year old covered in ink.
I don't care either way, but a lot people, mostly older don't have positive associates with people with tons of ink. I have to assume that sentiment is amplified to a certain degree in OKC. If thats the case, I still have to give him some credit for being smart enough to take advice to hide tats or bright enough to come up with something like that on his own. As evident with a few dudes in here who consider themselves ball fans, they didn't even know how tatted up KD is/was.

I'm a ball fan and the only tat I knew about was the one on his back so he did a good job of hiding them.

Miami Herald found the good job, good effort kid. 9 year old Jack Meyer.
Lark jr, future leader of his debate team. They're winners, even if they don't actually win. I wonder how many times he has seen Red Tails.
Maybe thats what Bron meant by" not 7", He's going to win 8 consecutive Jack Meyer Heart Championships.

I think at this point it's becoming clear that LeBron simply judged poorly when picking a destination in free agency. I think that's what it (mostly) comes down to. Does anyone think that LBJ with the Knicks (and a pre-Melo supporting cast) wouldn't be better than the Heat?
He's absolutely a better player than KD, but he's again burdened with carrying a team like he had to in Cleveland all those years. Part of that's bad luck (Bosh's injuries and Wade's continued process of bitchification), but part of it is also judgment on LBJ's part.
He's definitely very conscious of his image, but I think if he really wanted some tats on his arms he would just get them. He wouldn't get anything moronic anyways.MorisUkunRasik said:

We should give every NBA team trophies like they do in little league.

Those of us who aren't victims of the moment have been calling game 6 in Miami's favor and game 7 too.
If they lose though....by god....

Pretty sure K hates Rondo
and possibly Kentucky
He'd rather put up with YNB's shit than have to deal with Rondo.

This kid is 9 though. I probably acted the same way cheering for the Hornets when I was around that age.
I question KD's character since he only paused for about 20 pics and graciously thanked fans saying "This is for you" as he made his way all of 60 feet through the restaurant to the back room where the players were.
Then there is this trash:
From Dailythunder.com
I am not saying that those actions define his character but he certainly seems like a decent enough dude.
CrazyDogg77

Gondo I read some articles and KD said his mom allowed him to get tats just not on his arms. Probably still following what she said.
That comes down to his attitude. You can see Bosh is always treated by him and Wade as a 2nd banana. If he would actually utilize Bosh's skills, or demands his coach to do so, they would be much better off.
Of course that's only part of it. 3xMVP and the best basketball player in the world needs to find a way to score baskets at the end of games. Shaq, Jordan, Hakeem, Kobe at their peak could do it. Even when they were doubled, and in Hakeem's case, at times triple teamed.

Would be glorious.
A victory for basketball and a defeat for Riley and his dark magic.
Won't happen though. The Chosen One will rise to the challenge and save his season, y'all watch. We will all be witnesses again.

No kidding, I though Nick The Quick was a god. I wasn't making fun of a 9 year old for being a 9 year old, but rather jokingly poking Larky for being a 26 year old Jack Meyer.
You were right.
People recognizing Miami's huge shortcomings and Boston's improved play aren't "victims of the moment."
Boston has 2 of the best 3 players in the series (and a better overall supporting cast, which is sad considering who they're trotting out there), they've outplayed Miami 4 out of 5 games, plus they definitely have more mental fortitude and toughness than Miami. Not to mention that the coaching matchup is laughably skewed toward Boston.
Boston will have to play horribly and the Heat will have to play a complete team game for this to go to Game 7. I don't see it.

Ive been saying since the beginning of the season and playoffs and when the Pacers were up 2-1 and when Boston went up 3-2 that Heat still have this on lock. Heat will win due to the following:
1. Celtics are terrible at close out games
2. Celtics can barely hold a lead
3. Bosh is playing more minutes tonight
4. LeBron will get his
5. Wade bounces back after terrible games (takes his HGH injections)
6. Stern needs Miami to win a chip*
7. Good jab and good efurt kid inspired them

So basically this confirms that sweeping the first 2 rounds is a bad omen
LeBron used to be a humble kid
Dwight used to be a humble kid
who cares

Nah I know you weren't knocking the Nick the Quick I was making fun of lark too.
KG and Rondo have been playing far better than Wade in this series.
This is undeniable.
LeBron is still very humble in 4th quarters.
they've played better but that doesn't make them the better players. Wade is still the second best player in the series, even if he hasn't played like it in the last few games
