So you're a "superstar" only fan. LOL Yeah keep riding on Lebron and Harden for them beings stars. Our star was invisible in our playoffs so his criticism is warranted. Harden being a "star" should have much higher expectations than our "mediocre role player". Only idiots like you actually hold a "star" and a "role player" to the same standards.
So even when the Spurs have a 2-1 lead you root for them to get a 3-1 lead INSTEAD of rooting for a a great 7 game series like last year?
We're all witnesses to the well-oiled machine that is the San Antonio Spurs. Arguably the most admirably-run basketball organization of all time.
This x 10. With the big 3 in the Heat slowing down (injuries and age), they can't cover that massive hole anymore.
Bingo. Really guys it's not that hard to comprehend. It's The West, which the Spurs represent vs the East which the Heat represent.
I would understand more if it were the Mavericks in the finals. I would hate everyone that would root for the Mavs to tie in the number of championships. But the Spurs? They are already a better franchise than us.
Good luck finding any fans of a Eastern conference team rooting for the Heat. Magic fans sure aren't.
Why would I root for a team that doesn't play up to the level to which they should play? If I'm rooting for any part of the Heat team, I'm rooting for LeBron - he's the only one who seems to be actively trying / gives a crap out there. Wade is awful. Bosh gets benched after being efficient. Spo had to bring in Toney freakin' Douglas to try and get ANY sort of spark out of his lethargic team. I don't understand the LeBron haters. This Heat team right now isn't Big 3 + great role players. It's the Cavaliers situation all over again - just, this team is slightly better.
That's why you build your team on TEAM, not on three big stars who take turns going one on one. The only reason the Heat's big three are as good as they are: 1. They in the East 2. Lebron = best player in world. In other words...trading a bunch of the Rockets best role players in order to get Melo won't get Rockets out of the West
If them winning can cause Morey to realize it takes competent coaching to win a championship, and not three superstars to win a one freakin' playoff series, I'm all for it.
So - who's getting the Finals MVP? Duncan? 15.8 P, 10.5 R, 2.0 A Parker? 18.5 P, 5.3 A, 1.0 S Leonard? 16.8 P, 5.5 R, 2.0 A, 1.8 S Ginobili? 13.3 P, 2.8 R, 4.5 A, 1.5 S Diaw? 6.5 P, 8.5 R, 5.8 A Leonard is definitely in play, right?
Rooting for a constructed superteam vs rooting for a team that hasn't gotten a marquee FA in years, that they haven't drafted themselves. What is your point?
