Uh, I thought they sounded reasonable and funloving. The big kids in the gym pick-up game that want to keep the court all night. It should just fire you up to beat them. I wanted to hate it, but I didn't. It's going to be good for the game. Like Wade said, everybody is going to hate on us until we sell out at their gym.
do Wade and you honestly believe i give a rat's ass whether Toyota Center is sold out for their game here? i'll still be rooting against them.
Sadly I realize this. There's plenty of mindless star lovers out there to keep the NBA afloat without me. I don't think I'm alone with that sentiment though.
Miami is going down!!! They might outsell tickets but dem Rockets gonna whoop dat butt and get a victory!!!!
Of course if they came to our city we would celebrate with glee.. It is just human nature for the public to react the way they are.. Don't you remember as a kid some of your brothers and sisters would get the better gift than you?? Same outcome in this scenario.. We live in a society where we worship the hell out of our athletes..

That's the point. All good drama requires the protagonist to have an equal or greater antagonist. It's the overcoming of the odds that feels heroic. A team Like OKC is a great young team that will win but for the casual fan they are anonymous. Everyone knows all about the Lakers and Celtics and now everyone will know all about the Heat. When they come to town they will sell out, in New Orleans, in Cleveland, in Sacramento, for the Clippers. Those teams will benefit from having a full house of loud fans when the Evil Empires come to town. Win and it's great. And when it comes down to the finals, if our team is not in it, we want to watch the big boys. An LA/Heat finals will be a huge TV audience. A Rockets/Heat finals would be as much fun as you can have with your pants on.

Dear god, please let them completely suck, miss the playoffs, and have internal tensions erupt into a massive public feud.
Hahaha that wont happen . They have a plan ...a hidden plan. LBJ will avg. a triple this season. They will be fine. See ya in June!
http://twitter.com/NYPost_Berman/status/18200674514 Uhh Dwyane, you might want to worry about selling out your own gym first.
if you think lebron's hype is crazy for carry an average roster (cavs) to 60+ wins for 2 straight season, imagine the hype when lebron puts up 23-24ppg, 10rpg, 10+apg with 2 stars on his team. the media will crown him as godlier than god.
