CoCo: > Wants to assert himself as fervently defending the favorites > Labels his predictions and analysis as "usually on the money." When picking the favorites. I didn't realize it took so much skill to predict that the favorites would win. Color me impressed. "Just because a series goes 7 games doesn't mean it was close?" The ATL-IND series was close. Granted, just because the game 7s of the SA-DAL and MEM-OKC series weren't close, doesn't mean the rest of the series wasn't. Where was this thread AFTER those game 1s? Why not call people out then, when you were so sure all the favorites would win their series? What does it tell you when the supposed "king" of the NBA Dish believed the underdogs would win at one point? If we're delusional knee-jerkers, I got some news for you, bud. You're right there along with us. In reading your OP again, it just seems like you're still just butthurt that the Heat lost to the Mavericks. Mavs didn't even need 7 games. You know, the 7 games where the "good teams" work it out? Not sure why you feel the need to defend the Heat again and again - the better team won that year. This isn't the NCAA tournament where a superior team could get ousted by an inferior team due to single elimination. The better team won. Plain and simple. Bee tee dubs, calling yourself the "king" of anything (on an internet basketball forum of all things LOL), just makes you seem like an arrogant pos. It's cool that you love LeBron. It's cool that you love the Heat. But it's really sad that you're STILL salty about 2011.
