    You're wrong. I guess you've never been to a Rockets playoff game, much less a WCF or Finals game. I have many times. You're wrong.

    Those "tired, old Celtics" don't look so tired and old.

    Boston relies on Pierce / KG / Rondo.
    OKC relies on Westbrook / Durant / Harden.

    Of the four teams still left this year, only SA has that "team" mold. And even then, the team relies on Parker / Ginobili / Duncan.

    In recent memory, the "team" mold really only applied to the Pistons, in the year they won the title.

    tmac1 will show up and not make excuses. He's intellectually honest and will blast LeBron and the Heat when they deserve it.

    I really wish i could celebrate, but i feel that i don't wanna jinx the Celts.

    I expect Maimi's big three to go all out on game 6. So until the Celts shut them out and win it, I'm gonna hold my jeers and cheers. :grin:

    If the Celtics can win they can get 4 days off which should help them for the next series.

    I'm just talking about overall. Not specific to WCF. They've been bad, this WCF shouldn't be any reason to prove that they've been bad. In all their sports, they're pathetic.

    Playoffs, obviously the Rockets crowd is a different animal than regular season as would most regular sport cities. What I meant to say was, we have a lot of bandwagon fans that don't show up for the regular season just like they do so we aren't that much better in that regard.

    Sure he doesn't, but he's unwilling to give the other team/player credit either.

    Are Pierce/KG/Rondo better than LeBron/Wade/Bosh? Or put it this way: in a three on three, who would win? Or who would win against Parker/Ginobili/Duncan? I think the Heat trio clean everybody's clock, but factor in the rest of the team and you have the problem. And my point? The better "team" wins.

    And the Celtics are missing Bradley and Green and Wilcox who would have been very useful for this team

    Wade, LeBron and Udonis could be overheard through training room doors having a heated discussion about breakdowns.

    The Heat should be ashamed of themselves. Good job, good effort?! More like pathetic job, horrible effort. Miami deserves to lose this series.
