Refs have been bad all series, I didn't care who won this year, but it's dissapointing how this is gonna end. And as Lean sort of said, I'm adding LeBron getting a ring on my list of the things of why the world will end this December.

Disappointing that the officiating has been an issue and the series is going to end with an anti-climactic game, but the Heat have been the better team for the last four games. While I disagree with any assertions that the impending championship means that LeBron equals or surpasses Jordan, he's certainly redeemed himself this year and it does further cement his place as one of the all-time greats, with many great years still ahead of him.

Long live Michael Jordan, real king.

yeah, Jordan totally didn't need great players by his side to win. Nor did Kobe or anyone else ever.

no, I'm not a LeBron fan.


Lebron will never be like Michael Jordan.

LeBron is to Peyton Manning as Michael Jordan is to Joe Montana.

Never cared whether LeBron will ever be like Jordan and I still don't. I'm just tired of people bitching about him needing a good team to win, because so did everyone else in history.

Heat are nailing threes like Dallas VS LA last year.

It is an Asterisk championship. If my team (Bulls) would have won I would have said the same things Heat fans are saying but deep down I would know that the championship has a red dot (Seinfeld Reference not racism).

Not with Rose set to miss at least half the season. Love the suggestion of course, just don't see it happening.

No way, Rose won't be back until the end of the year and he'll probably need another year before he gets back to form. Deng is probably going to get traded before next season starts.

Fuck.

29 other teams I would've been happy with. 8 other NBL teams I would've been happy with.

At least the Pats lost the Super Bowl...

The only consolation I have with the Heat winning the title is Mike Miller finally having a good game and Joel Anthony getting a ring to put him in godlike status with such great players as Darko and Wilt.

OKC needs some better post-up big man, if I were gonna change anything about their team. It's that little thing that would take them to the next level IMO.

He's really going to take that long to heal? (I thought January he could be back).

It's unfortunate, I believe he's the best player in the league, he's awesome... :bowdown: :bowdown: ROSE :bowdown2: :bowdown2:

The Bulls would of definitely won it if Rose hadn't got his leg hurt.

Anyway a good read below.

http://boston.cbslocal.com/2012/06/20/n ... ba-finals/

I can't stand the Miami crowd applauding, most of them brainless fucks are bandwagon fans, they crawl to the stands for dan marino and then disappear to watch something else that might lighten up their miserable lives.

Thunder, I think have performed poor in the Finals, at leas LeBron won't get a buzzer beater for his ring, if that's any consolation to anyone out there lol.

Scott Brooks sucks, no adjustments made, what a retard, shit coach he just fucking stands there on the sideline doing fuck all, clapping, appluading, where is the emotion.

It does come at the price of Eddy Curry getting a ring, though.

January or February (more like February) at the earliest, which is essentially half the season.

Well that's fine then, if Chicago can get the 8 seed they can get 3 straight home games like Miami did!

Bargain with the shitty 2-3-2 format.

The man needs something to make him feel good like winning a championship for having to go through the experience of having his baby daughter (and her mother) murdered.

Yeah, all people should act the same and what other people expect from them
