you must be under the impression that only super stars win games? bradley had been playing huge for our team and i am sure you noticed how close we came to taking that series.

I can relate to Seattle people's pain. Very reason why I still dislike Mike Heisley whom I still think is the worst owner in the entire league, personality wise. Cunning, arrogant, and greedy. Even after, he was involved in some sort of fuss in Memphis as an owner. Back to the topic, it easily could have been 49 states versus Florida if it wasn't for the Sonics relocation or had the Spurs made it to the Finals instead. And if there were Heat bandwagoners that were born, there were 100 times more haters that were born amid the New Big 3 process.

Only if you referred to Ray's ankle problems... but son, Sorry I can't side you on this one.

I've wondered about that myself. He's been knocking them down the past couple of games and he can shoot from out there, but it's still not his forte so it could be problematic if he falls in love with the three ball.

No surprises there. :lol:

I'd still give that dubious honour to Donald Sterling for his racism and tendency to openly heckle his own players. Looks like Heisley is a soon to be former owner, too.

Don't look too much into Bradley's statistical production, he's one of the best guard defenders in the league.

i saw bradley fully shut down wade. just took him 100% out of the game. putting bradley on wade changes everything for the celtics. i think you are only looking at stat lines and missing the entire picture. with bradley we got allen off the bench again and playing fewer minutes. this is a very good thing since he has been hurt for so long now. bradley gives a old team some much needed youth. also you do understand that the celtics are a defensive team right? teams built on defense tend to have lower stat lines. bradley plays all 7 games the celtics win. probably wrap it up in 6. we would have left miami tied at 1 for sure.

I agree with you Sauru.. They have a better chance if they have Timothy Bradley :shock: just kidding :lol: and they wasted their homecourt advantage to eliminate the Heat in game 6 LeBron just got fired up though

Why wouldn't it? Just because the series is over people are still in denial about LeBron and Heat so they'll keep clinging to hope.

No, they don't. Teams that are 27th in the league in offense certainly do though.

I'll pick Avery Bradley over Norris Cole that's for sure.

Bradley has good regular season stats. He was pretty lousy on offense in the playoffs though.

Something to keep in mind is that in both instances Pietrus was absolutely terrible and he soaked up most non-Bradley minutes on the perimeter.

Somewhat goes to show how depleted the Celtics roster is, even with the big 4. Having to believe that Bradley could have provided such a difference in the playoffs.

To be fair, he's a very good defender.

Looks like LeBron's going with the "no smiling" strategy.

Mike Miller is just amazing coming off the bench, instant points for the Thunder.

Ibaka who's not offensively polished scoring in the post just scored there. Chris Bosh should stop being a vagina and start giving a good effort on defense.

Good job good effort by Ibaka, the only man whose physique almost turned Charles Barkley gay.

REFS FAVORING THE HEAT! LEAGUE IS RIGGED!

Looks like Durant has his talent stolen like in his upcoming movie.

EDIT:
Looks like he got his talent back but with 5 fouls.

And there we have it, the Thunder are just too young and aren't ready yet.

LeBron finally has his ring.

Absolute fucked up bullshit by the fucking referee dickbags. Wish they'd fucking blow their god damn whistles when there's a fucking foul. Fuck this shit.

Oh yeah, and... FUUUUUUCCCCCK.

Re: 2012 NBA Finals: (2) Heat vs (2) Thunder

Fri Jun 15, 2012 1:53 pm

after Wade's careless turnover and Durant's three I thought OKC got that. too bad the refs decided to go blind.

at least now maybe the Thunder will learn their lesson and play for 48 minutes, not 24.
