    I'd rather Lebron and Co. win "8 championships or more"

    than Dallas win ONE.

    20-something year old young guys acting immature in bad taste, something thats not really uncommon

    or a

    50 YEAR OLD man being a mega-douche, who should know better ?

    As an NBA basketball fan, I'm hoping for a great, entertaining series while being thankful that I get to watch the best basketball players in the world go at it on the same court and I don't care who wins. #notahater

    No ones being a hater, it's called being a Rockets fan.

    IMO Rocket fans better have a good reason they are rooting for the Dallas Mavericks.

    This is absolutely horrible. Dallas and Miami are BY FAR my two least favorite teams in the NBA right now. As crazy as it sounds, I'd give my left nut for the Lakers (my third least favorite team) to be the champions again this year if it meant Dallas or Miami wouldn't win a title (yes, I hate those two teams that much). I REALLY don't want to see Cuban win a title after all those years of non-stop winging and I REALLY don't wanna see Lebron win a title after...well...all those years of non-stop winging. I really don't know who to root against here. I'm actually almost as depressed now as when the Rockets got knocked out of the playoff chase.

    Sir you are rude and very immature. I probably should not be stooping down to your level but I will reply as what you have posted is non-sense.

    I am not jealous at all and I have a solid foundation for the way I feel.

    Miami has started a process that is ruining the league. I understand that star players have joined forces in the past. However, this scenario is different in that superstars are joining forces (two top five players or two top five + 1 top ten players) in the same team during their prime. That would be equivalent of Dream and Jordan or Dream, Jordan, and Barkley joining forces in their primes.

    Moreover, the Decision was a mockery of this league and very unprofessional. I despise the way that LBJ handled the relocation of his services. The maturity is just not there... In terms of maturity, in the past when stars or superstars aligned, they were past their prime and trying to contend at the tail end of their careers (example, Karl Malone, Gary Payton, Charles Barkley, Clyde Drexler, etc.). The "big Three" are all in their prime.

    Now on the other hand, Dallas has done it in the traditional way. It has a top 5 player that is surrounded by various stars, borderline stars and role players. Note that Jason Kidd is a declining star.

    I hate Dallas; unfortunately, someone has to win this series. My choice is Dallas and I am not embarrassed to say it. I feel that Dallas has played better throughout the season and deserve winning the LOB Championship Trophy more than Miami. This is a core that was trying to make it work for several years. Miami was just assembled two weeks ago (if you know what I mean).

    Will I be happy if Jason Terry wins a ring this year? No way.... but I will be happy if LBJ doesn't get one. Will I be happy if Flopinski wins a ring this year? No way...but I will be happy if CB doesn't get one. You get the point...

    I rooted for Miami in the '06 Finals because I couldn't root for the Mavepricks! There was just something about that Miami team that was easy to root for, while the current team gives me a lump in my throat that just tastes bad.

    Therefore, my recommendation is to grow up and stop judging people without knowing where they are coming from.

    I am a traditionalist and find this Miami team very hard to respect!

    It's the team I hate the most in the Western Conference vs. the team I hate the most in the Eastern Conference. Shoot me.
