"For true basketball fans, Heat-Thunder is Finals heaven"
"For TRUE basketball fans"
Please oh please one way or another somebody show this article to Kevin Garnett before game 7. After all the cheering in game 6, I guess we're not true basketball fans.

Here's another golden quote:
"Look. The Celtics, at this point, are many things: Noble, for sure. Proud. Fighters. Gamely geezers. Gritty, determined, resourceful. All that.
And they're also something else: In the way."

Absolutely infuriating. I know it's late, but check the article out.

Thank you, Shaun Powell.

the "true fans" and the NBA do not deserve the Celtics

[esel1000]

Didnt realize true fans meant stupid bandwagon obsessed with flashy plays and overpriced whiny superstars who have no respect for the actual game of basketball fans. god between the beat the heat okc finals shirt and now this... this is really disgusting...

[esel1000]

The NBA Finals needs to be about stars in their prime and placed under pressure. It should be about entertaining basketball played at warp speed, complete with lob passes and full-court sprints that captivate the casual basketball fan. It should give us the MVP and the MVP runner up. It should end the season a whole lot better than the way it started.

Umm no it shouldnt? Oh wait hes an NBA writer hes get paid based on ratings... god this makes me so sick...

Imagine the beauty of a Tim Duncan vs. KG match up in the finals.
Now, IMAGINE HARDER. It would be awesome.

[CantBeRight]

If KG saw this he would go into LeBron James game 6 mode

Another quote for some of you who might just be skimming over the article:
"If the Heat win, basketball wins."

Well I just read it thoroughly and I'm at a loss for words.

This crap is pathetic. It makes me sick to the bottom of my stomach. I have seen nothing more ridiculous than this it at least 2 years. Why this insult is on the NBA page I don't know but I do know the Celtics need to bring their A+++ game on Saturday to show the world who is more deserving to go to the finals.

A trip to the finals takes teamwork, grit, toughness, pain, and heart. Not 3 superstars as this garbage is portraying. Win one more time on saturday night and prove to ESPN, Miami, te NBA, the "true basketball fans" that 3 superstars don't win a championship by themselves, a TEAM does. And that is what the Boston Celtics are.

GO CELTICS.

It should be re titled as "For The True Ratings Spike, Heat-Thunder is Finals Heaven".

I want to see the two best teams go at it. Not the two teams with the best superstars. OKC proved twice the best in the West. Just because Miami has superstars doesn't theyre the best in the East.

Bias NBA is biased.

I'm offended by this. I'm also drunk. Where can I find the site to send the NBA a message about what I think about this and the "beat the heat" OKC shirts?
