dat closeup tho!

The eastern conference is so pathetic. Imagine if the Heat had to play Memphis, Clippers, and Spurs to get to the finals. Or Dallas, Portland, and OKC. Their 4 finals in a row is not very impressive. Yes I'm a hater...

I imagine it'd be the same, considering they beat the best team in the West every year.

 

[Feep]

what did vogel do?

Let his team suffer a half-season long collapse the likes of which are rarely seen in professional sports?

 

[strobogo]

It's like the Heat are playing 2K on Rookie.

 

[Cloudy]

Heat have found something with Rashard starting. Another deadly 3pt shooter

 

[Jigolo]

Flopping 3's is a terrible trend starting in the NBA. They have to take action against that

 

[lil smoke]

I really enjoyed the Mark Jackson, Van Gundy reunion.

 

[Cloudy]

I imagine it'd be the same, considering they beat the best team in the West every year.

Yeah after the West teams beat themselves up for 2 months. It ridiculous how easy their paths have been. No challenge till the ECFs the first 3 years and no challenge till the Finals this time

 

[GamerSoul]

excellent

 

[Draconian]

I really enjoyed the Mark Jackson, Van Gundy reunion.

Mark Jackson is good, but I've been tired of Van Gundy's shtick for years now.

idk man, back to back to back west teams is harder then the bucks or bobcats or lol nets

LeBron ain't ever going to the west, thats all i know

 

[Siegcram]

Birdman blowing by West lmao.

 

[strobogo]

I love that the crowd boos every time Lance touches the ball. I hope he embraces his status as the next big heel in the league. Larry won't like that, though.

 

[Apath]

Miami just strolled into the finals.

 

[lil smoke]

Mark Jackson is good, but I've been tired of Van Gundy's shtick for years now.

Really? Oh man I love him! lol he's so anti- establishment.

But I'm from NY, so I have bias.

 

[BadAss2961]

How can anyone argue LeBron isn't better than Bird?

LeBron's a better player, but he's not as "great" yet.

 

[Siegcram]

Mark Jackson is good, but I've been tired of Van Gundy's shtick for years now.

This is like serious heresy right here. You could replace Jackson with a tape-recorder of his own catchphrases at this point.
JVG is about as controversial as a commentator on national TV is gonna get.

Spoiler

He's never gonna blame a coach though. Ever.

 

[Cloudy]

LeBron's a better player, but he's not as "great" yet.

I bet he already has more points, assists and rebounds than Bird ever did. He is better just as a player but also as an alltime great

 

[lil smoke]

LeBron's a better player, but he's not as "great" yet.

I think he has superceeded (sp) Bird by far by now, but I am by far an old MJ fan.

I think all arguments are fair now. But Bird? He has gone past that.

Really? I couldn't tell.

 

[Siegcram]

Talk about an empty statement.

 

[blackaroni]

Overrated chant??? Lmao!

 

[Shun]

Overrated chant??? Lmao!

They talking about their own team? Cause that's the only right thing I've heard from South Beach all season.

 

[Fjordson]

Haha. Just woke up, I said wow. Fuck the Heat, but four finals in a row is impressive no matter the era.

 

[Cloudy]

GTFO Wade. Flopping up 30?

 

[Siegcram]

Is Chalmers the worst Heat player at this point?

 

[TuXx]

Pacers should seriously pursue Tom Thibodeau. This team would be better equipped with a hard nose coach on the helm. A coaches' personality reflects on how the team plays and Vogel is just too soft and easygoing.

 

[Cloudy]

Haha. Just woke up, I said wow. Fuck the Heat, but four finals in a row is impressive no matter the era.

Not in the Eastern Conference with that roster...

 

[Gordon Shumway]

It's downtown..stop calling it that!!!

 

[strobogo]

LOL at using a picture of Roy with his head down in shame

He wouldn't make Hibbert a focal point of his offense, that's for sure

 

[Ambient80]

Look at that box score. Just look at it.

Spoiler

sorry if pic is lol huge.

 

[friskykillface]

0 rebounds for a 7+ foot guy, thats just insane, how 0_o

 

[Siegcram]

George playing on that 20 ft rim.

 

[Cloudy]

Not sure what happened but Lance stopped being aggressive after halftime

The East has been shit for 15 years, only this time they have a team that can ball with the West.

 

[BadAss2961]

I bet he already has more points, assists and rebounds than Bird ever did. He is better just as a player but also as an alltime great

Talk about an empty statement.

He doesn't have as many rings as Bird. He doesn't have as many great playoff moments as Bird. He doesn't have a rival like Magic that helped elevate his greatness.

Wilt was like a million times better than Russell, but who do people credit more?

 

[overcast]

If the Heat win their 3rd this year, people will still call them overrated.

Which is why I kind of want them to win, it would be funny.

I agree it's slightly diminished being in the East, but still have to give them credit. As much as it pains me to do so.

 

[friskykillface]

Jeff Van Gundy agrees with me

Heat wouldn't be going to 4 straight finals if they were in the west


salt time

 

[MetalFearSolid]

JVG right about Pacers and how they would get destroyed by every team in the West that got bounced in first round.

 

[Pimpwerx]

He doesn't have as many rings as Bird. He doesn't have as many great playoff moments as Bird. He doesn't have a rival like Magic that helped elevate his greatness.

Wilt was like a million times better than Russell, but who do people credit more?

Yeah, but Bird doesn't have the talent LeBron has. LeBron wouldn't have lost to the Lakers with the talent Boston had. PEACE.

 

[Cloudy]

JVG spittin' dat real. I really want the Spurs to advance. They will fuck Miami's shit up

 

[victreeb3l]

Fuck the Pacers but especially Lance

 

[Gorillaz]

My reactions during this game:

Pacer fans lose the most out of this series.

Pouring out my cheap ass beer for yall

He might get the rings and moments, we shall see. (If there will be TRUE competition) but no, it's not like it was.

Do you remember when Reggie was a part of this shit? Who can you think of that can do that now?

It's not the same.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Fuck the Pacers but especially Lance

he from ny!

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

Still pretty amazing when you think about how Lebron, Wade, and Bosh came together and formed this Miami title team. They were the star players on their previous (older roster in Wade's case) teams.
