When did I insult your team or for you liking a team? Please, right this instance, highlight that for me. NOW.

I insulted those petty Cav fans who can't let the LeBron-hate go. Granted, I should have added more but I'm not an individual to slam an entire city and organization/team.

This is what happens when all the talent sits on a single team. This was the most boring NBA finals Ive seen in ages.

[thalidomide]

lmao. When was that Mister J?

[Poeman]

LeBron says he's happier today than when his kids were born

Talk about selfish

Okay, correction. Your post said Cleveland fans are whiny SOBs. It didn't discriminate which, so you just insulted a whole fan base (since your post didn't specify). Look at your post again. I get your excited, but crap like that is unneccessary and irks me.

You're being kind of whiny now.

Yes, because Miami is the only team with mutliple All-Stars. The Thunder were playing with guys they found at the YMCA. The Celtics, Spurs, Lakers, Mavericks? Nah, screw those guys' rosters.

Dude, you don't know about the infamous Comic Sans tantrum Gilbert let fly after LeBron left?

Not really, because I am not coming in here trashing LeBron's skill or saying anything against them winning. They deserved the series, and props to the Heat. I just took issue with that comment.

[thalidomide]

LMAO!!! that was priceless.

It's going to be interesting watching Lebron in the coming years. With the monkey off his back, he could play more loose, more at ease, and if that's the case, he will become what a lot of people thought he could, the best ever.

Or, with that pesky ring out the way, he may not have the same fire, that same juice again, and not win those 4,5,6 rings he was talking about. Not to mention D-Wade isn't getting any younger, and for long stretches this year has looked like a player already on the downswing.

I mean, Wilt Chamberlain has almost unbreakable records but he's looked at as somewhat of an underachiever, because his rings don't really equate to the talent. Same thing with Peyton Manning, so this could go two ways. Either way, it'll be a hell of a ride...

[Poeman]

Really wondering what would have happened if Spurs had played the Heat... That veteran savyness could have played a huge role. Still think Heat would have won though

[thalidomide]

I'm a fan of Spurs but I think they really should hire new players.

[SentinelMind]

I'll say Oklahoma City is a classy city...no riots..humble folks....that team will be back to the Finals, no doubt about it.

The first was always going to be the hardest. Now he has that, Heat are prob winning at least 1 more. Depends on how Bulls/Thunder mature, on top of who Heat add. I would favor them next year, though.

Like I said, I should have added more to my statement considering how easily it can be blown out of proportion but I am not that kind of fan nor poster.

he has no choice...that tirade 2 years ago was ridiculous...

but let's all come together to celebrate this Miami win!!

[Doc Samson]

I know one thing, Mike Miller put it all out there tonight, and hopefully that's it for him. Dude looks like he can barely walk, it's hard to watch sometimes.

Truly, I apologize. It was laziness on my part.

I feel really good for him. He's been laboring for weeks, if not since he signed. Ridiculous performance.

Lebron and Wade are the two of the three best basketball players in the world in the past ten years. Bosh is a top 15 player today. All three should be competing against each other not teaming up to have a lighter load to win it all. This is supposed to be the most competitive stage of the game and the heat just won 4 in a row in the most underwhelming way. I undesrtand youre happy your team won (congratulations) and because of that you dont see the point, but this competitive unbalance delivered the worst NBA finals in ages.
