*The Official 2011-12 NBA Thread*

I have a buddy who is a Pacers fan... he was being a little ***** after game five (but was all about the **** talking after game three) but I haven't heard from him since then.

 

I hope it's the Heat and Celtics, but wouldn't be upset if it were the Heat and 76ers....

The Spurs and Thunder is a series I'm looking forward to...

 

It was a close out game at home vs a much inferior team? Adversity? Lol, some of u guys I tell ya.

Talk to me when u win your ring, until then? Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

Go Philly!

 

Nice of you to watch the games....

The Game was in Indiana, and the Heat was without their top two big men, versus a team that features one of the best big men tandems in basketball.

Yeah..they overcame a little adversity.

 

I wouldn't call it adversity...if u guys can't beat the Pacers with 2 of the best 5 players in the league on your teamthen you have issues.

 

Adversity is when your down 2-1in the finals against a good basketball team and you go on to get one of those seven rings you were sure to get.

 

Oh I see. Now it's not good enough to win it. They now have to win under adverse conditions while also being an underdog.

gotcha.

 

No winning it is winning it...maybe one day you will find out.

 

Of course you wouldn't. Haters gonna hate

 

From a rival Kanicks fan. When was the last time your team won a title? Huh? When?









































































You there?

 

You beat the Pacers in the 2nd round! Win your ring then run your mouth, right now all your doing is setting yourself up for another finger in ur face and a ha ha ha ha, after you talk big and bad and then get sent home ringless.....


AGAIN.

 

Shocked a man like you missed the point.

Oooooo.....Hhhhhhhh......iiiiiiiii.......oooooo

 

uh? did you forget?

 

Nobody came in here beating their chest about winning this series. You however did come in here like an ******* to troll all of us.

 

Dude you need to sit down and hush! I've never once boasted, or acted like my team is just such a badass team on this site. You might want to go back a few pages to right when the last game ended. None of us were pounding our chests. I even said it was nothing to brag about! But since you insist. If a finger is pointed in my face it's coming back to it's owner broken.

As for ringless again! I'm not Lebron or Bosh but I've recently seen a championship! Have you?

 

Its weird.

No matter what Miami based team you talk about, the people who hate that team sound like Jets fans.

Why is that?

 

I'm afraid that it is, once again, YOU, that missed the point! You cannot twist things around just to suit you. The Miami Heat have actually won a championship RECENTLY!!! The Kanicks have..................??


Maybe you should start following Lebron on twitter and tweat to him....where are the 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 championships? Maybe then you'll get a rise out of someone .......... finally!

 

Pretty much dead on the money! Yup!

 

Sad but true!

 

It is uncanny.

 

The answer is in your own post....5 players.....it's 5 on 5...... not 2 on 5......

Lebron and Wade answered the call....

 

Since only 3 people live in Indiana, what was said?

 

"the pig has diarrhea again."^

 

And, of course, Spoelstra was fined $25,000. I would post the link, but I cannot post links using this phone. But I saw this on the ESPN site.

 

Some of you beat on your chest claiming you overcame adversity....i simply reminded you who u played and the situation. Is what it is.

 

Huh?

 

Nothing, after that impressive series against the Pacers all the Heat brash and their ego's are back in action.

Yo Momma's.

 

Heat over Patriots in 4 in the finals!!!!!1111!!!!!

 

Apparently, "beating your chest" includes anytime anyone says Miami did anything well.

Oh yeah. The Celtics are 9-1 in the last 10 games of theirs that Callahan has officiated.



Andrew Ungvari ‏@DrewUnga

The Sixers have lost 9 of the last 10 games that Mike Callahan has officiated. He's one of tonight's three refs.

 

Total coincidence, I'm sure.

 

Safe to bet on Boston tonight?

 

We know you would like to hear crickets in here until Lebron gets his ring but the bottom line is Miami was down 2-1 to the third seed in the East. A team with the 5th best record in the NBA. All while being down a man in 6 games and three down in the final game. That's not beating ones chest. It's just a fact of what went down.

Not one Heat fan boasted after disposing of Indiana. Not one!

 

After looking around the web, and going to different message boards and Facebook, can we please stop with the Miami Heat 'Haters Gonna Hate' campaign? Yes, we know you have three All-Stars on your team, and most teams don't. Lot's of people hate the Yankees because they can afford to and do, spend the money to fill their team with awesome players. The Patriots do the same thing. Yet, I have never seen a 'haters gonna hate' slogan from either of those teams. The Heat are an awesome team, an awesome all around team, that gets it done even when their starters are out. There's no need for the 'hate us because we're that good' thing. If anybody hates you guys because you have a good team, that's their problem. You guys make it happen, and lose games the same as everybody else. Just get tired of people acting like the Heat are cheating or something. Once again, JMO........

 

That's because there is no equivalence between Yankee hate and Heat hate.

The Heat aren't hated because they have three max contracts on their roster. Yes, there is the occasional accusation that the Heat somehow cheated the NBA's salary cap system to assemble their current roster, but those complaints are extremely rare. Those who make them are generally scraping the bottom of the *****ing barrel and don't understand how the Heat managed their cap to get into this position.

The Heat are hated because of the perception that three superstars—I'm sorry, two superstars and one small ball big man, thanks Bill and Chuck—somehow violated an unwritten rule about competition in the NBA by joining forces rather than trying to beat each other; because of the perception that tampering or lobbying occurred to bring them together; that the biggest star on the team was openly lusted for by the fanbases (and media members who privately count themselves as part of the fanbases) of some of the largest media markets in the country; the public manner in which the trio was completed ("The Decision"); the event after The Decision, which to the Bulls and Knicks fans in the media felt like Pat Riley—who they already didn't like due to dead rivalries and politics—was banging their girlfriend by parading the Big Three after kicking them in the balls by signing the three players in the first place; and lastly, lingering national dislike/hate of Miami dating back to the days of The U's perceived "arrogant" domination of college football for 20 years.

But if we have to be Emperor Palpatine, we will be.

 

I get what you're saying. All I'm saying is you have a great team, and anybody that hates your team, that's just their problem. You guys will be pissing people off for years to come.
