Heat are playing great. Having stud players in the playoffs really make a difference. Heat are really fun to watch. Celtics are a bunch of old men. Wade is amazing. Not sure how he made some of those moves tonight. Lebrons shooting was on point. I enjoyed the game.
miami is the best road team in the L. boston played its best game in the first round on the road. miami will steal one game. and finish it in 5. boston simply lacks the dribble penetration to score consistently. the reason they have been in both games is shooting lights out on 3s
James is 7-0 in series over his career when leading 2-0, with Wade 5-0. Celtics are 1-8 all-time in series when down 0-2.
The Heat is clearly the best team in the East right now. When you have two of the top five players in the world everything is so much easier.

How is that not a foul? James clearly uses his left hand to push off on Garnett's chest. Not that it really mattered to the outcome of the game, but the refs missed that one IMO.
Some people care more about enjoying their lives than they do about what sportswriters and fans have to say about their "legacy." It's a hell of a lot easier to enjoy your life when you're living on the beach and playing ball with two of your best friends in the league than when you're playing in Cleveland with Mo Williams.
Lets just say imagine if Ray Allen/KG/PP were in their primes against the Miami three now, I'd say it be pretty competitive, maybe Celts come out on top... I'm gonna have to say the Heat wins this series easily and will be going to the Finals... Party in Miami this summer folks!!!!
I agree with all of your points. People want to hate to hate. All the teams you mentioned had a huge amount of haters. When a team has multiple superstars and becomes that dominant it makes it that much easier for people to blindly hate. No offense, but can you please type like an adult. That was really hard to read. Thanks in advance :grin:
Every championship team had at least 2 great players on the squad. I'm not sure what kind of argument you're trying to make when MJ is considered the GOAT and he had Scottie Pippen on all of his 6 rings. His team was so stacked they went to the ECF even without him in the roster. Kobe Bryant had Shaq in his prime, and then had Gasol, Odom and Artest. Pierce had KG and Ray Allen what exactly is your point? Its ok for Kobe and MJ to win with other superstars but its not cool when Lebron does it? Also the NBA ratings were at its highest when the Celts and Lakers were the only powerhouses in the league and they met in the Finals year after year. People like it when stacked teams go against each other, rivalries can get established and each series gets to have its own storyline.
i think it's differnt when you run away to play with another star. MJ and Kobe did it at their place. oh and is Pau really that good? The dude has sucked most of the season. Pippen is not a top 30 player
Where is the video of Wade spinning KG around on that sick crossover type move? And the other video of Ray Allen falling on his ass when Wade shook him and drained that 3. You guys can hate on Lebron all you want, thats fine, but you'd take him on the Rockets IN A HEARTBEAT. Wade is the king of this team. A healthy wade keeps this engine rolling.
scottie is the 2nd best SF of all time behind larry bird. it's not just pau, it's the collection of big men for the lakers which provide them with a huge advantage in a current league where good big men are rare. and they have 3 of them. sometimes you have to be lucky. kobe was lucky he was traded to the lakers on draft day. his luck was set then b/c the lakers are ALWAYS contenders. jordan got pippen. bird was drafted by a great celtics organization into a team of HOFs. magic chose the lakers. lebron stayed with the cavs for 7 years and they had the nerve to think jamison was better than amare stoudamire. if you don't have the luck, you create your own luck. lebron thus chose to go play with another great player. there's nothing wrong with that. the only thing wrong was how he went about it with "the decision." he played out his contract with the cavs.
Pippen is not better than following small forwards Elgin Baylor John Havlicek Julius Erving Larry Bird
