Pretty sure fans booed when we blew the 18pt lead in gm4 in the 2008 Finals

yeah definitely. i posted about that a few pages back when one of the commentators said they couldn't remember a home team being booed in the finals.

Heat need to stop trying to draw fouls. It's not over yet, quit trying to get back into it by going to the line.
 
Just goes to show you how much of a fluke their win was last year. That game 6 will go down in history as one of the flukiest games of all-time. The better team is gonna win this time around. This is so fucking great.

SPOILER: Columbus finds America
I haven't seen passing like this outside classic games on nbatv. This is some 86 Celtics ball movement. I never thought that kind of game would come back.
 
I'm positive that without Pop, only Duncan has a real shot at being a hall of famer.

That's easy to say but who knows what would have happened to Shaq, Kobe, Jordan and Pippen if Phil never came around? They all seem to credit him for turning them into champions. Shaq might have never reached his potential if Phil didn't come in and challenge him. Kobe might have bickered his way out of LA before he turned 25 and turned into another TMac or Gilbert Arenas. The simple fact is that those 4 guys are all Hall of Famers, all time greats, yet combined they only won a whopping ONE title without Phil, and 11 with him (and that one was Shaq teaming up with another all time great coach, Pat Riley, a guy who also coincidentally only won titles when he had all time great Hall of Famers on his team)

Miami would deserve it like Cleveland, but for different reasons.
Meh. Says fans of teams Bron will never go to. We got lucky. I'll forever be grateful. But we deserved it as Mich as anyone else. This is a well run organization. The best in this city, and one of the best in the league. Even more smsxong considering we're an expansion team. People overlook that fact when criticizing the team, but the Heat are a model organization. The city loves the team. Can't ask for more than that. PEACE.

Shaq probably could have made the HOF without Phil tbh. Winning titles isn't needed to get in. However, it isn't a coincidence that Kobe began to blossom into a star under Phil. He had raw talent before, but he wasn't a legit threat until Phil was the coach.

wtf with those booss lol What a bunch of fucking losers at the arena.

Seriously. Your team won 2 titles straight, in its 4th finals and youre going to boo? Series isn't over yet, but its irrelevant.

Really hope the big 3 just walk. Miami fans don't deserve greatness, they deserve the cellar.

Kings had the Lakers beat and everyone including the Laker players' moms knows it. The refs gave that series to them.
They didn't make their FTs in game 7. Peja also air balled a few wide open 3s. At home. And Webber shrunk like a penis in the Arctic Ocean at the end of the game despite having a huge mismatch.

Kings were bitches and did not take it. Champs don't get it handed to them.

For anybody that missed this stuff the NBA players were on the Miami lists and Lebron was suspected but never anything more:

I'm not accusing him, just saying none of this was ever followed up on. And the NBA don't test for HGH in blood. And then we have Rose saying PEDs is a 8/10 in the NBA scale. Whatever I guess right. Not much you can do about it. With how much Rose breaks down you know that guy isn't taking anything.


I'm not saying...

I'll agree it is well run. Pat Riley is all business.

It's still funny to me people are so desperate to take away James championships. The heat won two in a row, get over it.

Happy for the Spurs, cause Duncan is the shit.
 
Paint your face, clowns.

It's a shame OKC couldn't get through the Spurs, cause this was always a guaranteed championship for the winner in the West.

This Heat team is laughably bad. Below shit tier. I wonder which other superstar LeBron can beg to come carry his disappearing ass to another title. Wade can't carry him anymore. Melo? Love? Or does he beta out to a better team?

People get so irrational about LeBron. There's stuff to criticize him about, just like there is with most athletes, but people so obviously and clearly try to fit everything into their existing narrative. It's kinda pathetic. People used to do the same shit with Kobe when he was younger before his public persona was "reinvented" as this old badass of the league here to trash talk the youngin's and take no shit, it's why I could never buy into it with LeBron.

Miami is just god awful at rebounding.
We are statistically one of the worst teams st rebounding. LOL. Totally the opposite of Riley's no rebounds, no rings mantra. It's worked up until now, but San Antonio is just so damn good. It was a fight all last year. PEACE.

I honestly think the Heat would have beat the FThunder. LeBron would lock down YNB or Durant and the series would be over.
