I think the Heat will win decisively tomorrow. KG turned back the clock one game but he can't keep it up. Rondo will be hindered (if he plays at all). LeBron and Wade will be in full bounce-back demolition mode. Bosh clearly will play much better (which isn't saying much because he can't do any worse). Boston's fans got a feel-good day yesterday but reality will hit them in the face. That said, I'd love for them to win and extend this to 6.
I don't understand how anyone can like this self-proclaimed king. "the game will be easy". if people are going to complain about kobes attitude, why do they let this entitled nba player slide
bosh can play nearly as bad (look at pau, he was in basically a funk the entire playoffs). bosh is playing against his idol in a tougher environment in boston. this game is basically up to lebron and dwade to win on both ends. they clearly have to play better offensively, especially lebron. he got outclassed by pierce, and that's the first time pierce has outplayed him in the past 2 seasons. i was very surprised. wade played pretty well to start but then got way too passive. both need to be extremely aggressive. and i'm surprised the heat didn't press rondo more with that injured elbow. if he can still only use one arm, press him an pressure him HARD before he gets over to halfcourt. make him exert energy. and ultimately, DO NOT PLAY Z. that basically is a 90% heat win right there. with Z in the game, it's an automatic 8-10 points for the celtics.
There is nothing wrong with being confident. If hakeem had said this very thing, you wouldn't have had a problem with it.
but he didn't and no one did name anyone who guaranteed more than 1 championship this guy predicted 8 or more even before the season began..
he didn't guarantee championships. that's what they are striving for. is he supposed to tell heat fans that they would be happy just to make the playoffs?
Probably something along the lines of "we will work together to bring multiple championships to this city." would suffice
"our goal is to win a championship" would have been enough then he added "not one, not two, ... not six, not 7..." that's like saying they're invinsible even before the season already started are we really debating if lebron is arrogant and has a huge ego?
you can debate but to me it just seems like he was building excitement. they want to win multiple championships. he didn't guarantee 8 championships. he said it was a goal. I don't see the problem with that, but then again everything lebron says is put under a microscope and dissected.
No, it's really not like saying they're invincible. It's saying that they understand in advance that by coming together they are putting the pressure on themselves to win every year. He was acknowledging the fact that any season that ends in less than a championship during their time together would be a failure. Of course he is arrogant and has a huge ego. If that prevented us from being fans, there wouldn't be a team in the league we could root for.
