I just threw up in my mouth.

[KG Living Legend]

 Good thing Lecon gave us are just due.

 "They gave us the blueprint"  Yeah, except Ainge traded and dealed for years, and you and a couple of buddies just decide you can all meet up in Miami and GM yourself right.

 Oh and one of your buddies just  so happens to be the other greatest young wing player in the Game.

 Such a dumb team. If he just wanted to play with Dwayne, then go with Just Lebron and Wade, and surround yourself with quality role players.

 The same team with a quality PF like Taj Gibson or Ibaka or something of the like would be not to outlandish.

 Not that Bosh is the Man, but he's an All Star. And having him makes it stupid. Wade, and Lebron and a bunch of Joe's would be one thing. This is just silly.

 If they win the Title this year, can't even think about it.

 I have to go brush my teeth now. (puke)

How about LeBron eating Pierce's lunch in crunch time?  That was brutal to watch. 

Reminded me of 2005 when the Pats lost to the Colts in the playoffs for the first time.  Just, like, "Hey. That's not supposed to happen.  THAT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!!  AWW!!"

[get_banners]

this bluprint talk is nonsense. yeah, we had to trade a whole team full of great young talent to get our 3. they just made a superfriends pact to all sign with the same team. our guys also tried to win it all without a superfriends pact. barkley was dead-on when he said no 20-something stud player should ever want to not win on his own. honestly, if they win a title or more than one, they'll never get their due for it...and they shouldn't...because they basically played GMs to make this thing happen. and, they've poisoned the water in the league with their move as well, as all these young kids want to play AAU ball in the pros instead of working to be the man and win on their own. i know, nobody actually wins on their own (maybe hakeem is the exception), but great teams are built from the draft and smart FA signings, not 3 of the (arguably) top 20 players in the league deciding to join forces.

Well, sleep on this one Living Legend:

Yes - MIA just beat us 4-1. Yes, Lebron took it as if he just accomplished something big - which in some ways he did.

BUT - MIA's season is a total failure if they don't win it all. Remember - Lebron's already been to the Finals, where he lost 4-0 to Spurs.

By the time it's all over in June, DAL, OKC or CHI will more than likely be the NBA Champs, and my pick is DAL.

And with that being said - what The Boston Celtics did in that magical season of 2007-08 will NEVER be duplicated again.

Credit to Miami, they won and made plays when it mattered. However something stood out to me, the post match celebration. The way the Heat were celebrating makes you think they feel like the biggest job was done.

That said it all to me there. Assuming they win out, Chicago has home court and Dallas is looking bullshít good right now. Good luck but I'm not sure they'll be hanging a banner after that celebration.

[Dunn]

Lebron isn't giving us just due. The quitter wanted to finger us as the reason they formed their trio. See how much they talk when they aren't in the locker room crying. We can thank Danny for that.

I thought the same thing an so did Barkley and McHale 

There's a lot of huggin and kissing going on out there for the second round. They're acting like they won the Larry O Brien trophy.

[Celtic]

I think the celebration was so excessive because they realized they just beat the team that was going to be their toughest roadblock to winning a championship. I think they all collectively realized it was going to get a lot easier from here on out.

[JoT]

Oh please LeBron can miss me with that statement. They were celebrating like they won the championship or something. Also the Boston big 3 that got together was way different than Miami's 3.
1. Ray did not even choose to come to Boston. He said he had no choice and was traded to Boston. Don't believe me watch the interview with them and JOhn Thompson.
2. KG did not even want to leave Minni at first he was asked if he wanted to be traded and he decided to be traded then. He also left Minni knowing he tried his hardest and they knew it too. When he won they celebrated with him and when he returned to play his old team he received a round of applause. (Unlike Bosh and LeBron who are by their GM's to have quit.)
3. KG did not go on tv and say he was taking his talents to Boston and straight up disrespect a city and franchise like that and he didn't do them dirty.
4. The Boston big 3 did not do a stage show with smoke, WWE music and muscle showing bragging about how many championships they were gonna win before they even played. They said they don't know what's gonna happen, but they'll find out. They said they were put together and they have to on their own find their ways to win a championship. They also weren't predicted to win a championship before they even played and weren't predicted to win more than 70 games beating the Bulls record. This team was doubted and were the underdogs all the way till the end.

Please Mavs win I want Dirk and Terry to get their revenge on the Heat and I want Dirk to win his championship. They haven't won nothing yet and until they have the the trophy, confetti, and crying along with the Bill Russell trophy being handed to LeBorn (since you know good and well Wade will not get it.)I will not deem them a true success like HeatSPN wants us to.
No I am not too angry for the loss being that I knew they weren't gonna win today deep down inside, but I just can't take the media bandwagon and overrated mess they give them and they haven't won yet. They still haven't accomplished what this Big 3 in Boston had which is a championship.

[barefacedmonk]

2011 NBA Champs: Anybody but the Heat....I'll be actively rooting against them from here on.

[PosImpos]

I think the celebration was so excessive because they realized they just beat the team that was going to be their toughest roadblock to winning a championship. I think they all collectively realized it was going to get a lot easier from here on out.

If I were them I wouldn't be so sure.  It's true that the Bulls are looking mortal right now, but Derrick Rose is still a monster and the Heat have yet to face a point guard who can take advantage of their defensive deficiencies at that position.  I imagine Noah will have a good series, too.

Plus, I like the way Dallas matches up with the Heat.  The Thunder would have a good shot, too. 

I'm excited to see how this post-season unfolds.

The Celtics were not the number 1 seed and haven't played like one for some time. The reaction was incredible for a simple series win with no silverware.

[jimmehx]

I'm really sad. That is it.

If that's there mindset then they're going to fall short. I think the Mavs have the best shot of taking them out and they are deep. I could see Chandler and Dirk destroying them.

[ACF]

I don't know if I'll be able to follow the NBA in the future, not with the bad taste it left in my mouth. And it'll only get worse once the Heat are able to add players in the coming seasons. ESPN will be drooling. Drooling, I tell ya. At least we went out fighting unlike LA.

The refs? Not rigged by a mile but the advantages certain players get are disgusting. DW and LBJ would probably in the top 5 of players going to the ft line anyway but why the extra 5-7 attempts/game? Disgusting. Sure, we blew it in the final minutes again but a call here and a call there and we might have taken that one. People that didn't watch the game will think the Heat controlled the game but in actuality we led the most of the way, despite (surprise) foul trouble. I've heard that from even casual NBA fans. We got jobbed. It really sucks big time, huh?
