***The Official F The Miami Cheat Thread***Hawks VS Miami Cheat

[Red Hawk #21]

Hawks vs Heat 1st round matchup. I respect D-Wade a lot and felt for a long time D-wade should be the MVP. He's a great player but his team is pretty sucky. Sorry to the Heat fans on this board but F The Miami Heat. I hate any team that plays my team in the playoffs. I hope we kick some ass in this series. No doubt D-wade is the best player in this series but our team is better than them. Hawks>>>Heat. There only two ways we lose this series : (A): Hawks don't show up and play like pussies. (B): D-Wade starts getting 2006 finals Bodyguard protection from the refs. Im more worried about D-Wade getting bogus calls than us not showing up, I know Stern loves Wade and probably doesn't want him to lose in the 1st round so im nervous that a fixed series may be near. I hope we play our hardest even if this series is fixed in Wade's favor. I hope Joe and Smoove don't settle for too many jumpers: Take it to the rim!! Posterize JO, Haslem and Beasley!!

And let me disgress a little bit. Lol @ Chris Paul. I hope the Nuggets kick the Hornets ass. I hope 6'3 billups locks up the 5'11 pussy known as Chris Paul. I really want to see how Paul throws up his stupid floaters now when Birdman and K-mart will be there to reject his shit. Let's go Nuggets!! No disrespect to BrHornet45 but I hate your Franchise player. He's an asshole and a jerk, and yet the NBA tries to make it seem like he's a gentle and humble guy. F Cp3. I wanna see David West act tough among the likes of K-mart, Smith, Birdman, Nene and others.

[Bob Lanier]

Who's on your team again? Joe Johnson, Josh Childress...

Your fascination with pus is kinda gross, though.

[sribb43]

I like the title of this thread...if Hawks want to win they better hope Bennet Salvatore isnt refing

[mavs>spurs2]

One thing I see wrong with your post is that I don't even think Paul is 5'11. 5'9.5 probably, but that doesn't stop him from being the best PG in the game. Billups is a great defender, but not the speediest of guards, so I'm not sure how bad that will hamper his attempt at stopping Paul. Should be an interesting matchup

Billups is a great defender
No he's not.

90-62 Game 1. Lol @ SpursDyansty who said the Heat could easily dispose of us. And Lol @ "experts" and "analysts" who said the Heat can beat us. I already told you guys the only way the Heat win over the Hawks is if their is a massive screwjob. But we're so much better than the Heat its not even funny, I wonder if Bennette salvatore can even save the Cheat in this situation. 3 more games to go, Lets go Hawks!

[Red Hawk #21]

Oh yeah and Lol @ Chris Paul. They got blown out of the fucking building just as I expected. Goddamn this game was sweet, Birdman owning everyone one of the Hornets who tried to drive inside, Carmelo breaking Peja Stojabricks ankles, K-mart dunking like crazy, Billups killing the Hornets from downtown. Ahh, that was sweet. 113-84, lets go Nuggets. F the Hornets!!

[endrity]

Wade only shot 4 FTs, how the hell did that happen??? Good job hawks, if you don't let Dwhistle get to the line, that whole team has got nothing.

By the way, Josh Smith is one crazy athlete. I wish he had a bit more in his head, he would be a great player if he could be a bit smarter but even like this, he gives one hell of a show.

[Chris Fall]

And let me disgress a little bit. Lol @ Chris Paul. I hope the Nuggets kick the Hornets ass. I hope 6'3 billups locks up the 5'11 pussy known as Chris Paul. I really want to see how Paul throws up his stupid floaters now when Birdman and K-mart will be there to reject his shit. Let's go Nuggets!! No disrespect to BrHornet45 but I hate your Franchise player. He's an asshole and a jerk, and yet the NBA tries to make it seem like he's a gentle and humble guy. F Cp3. I wanna see David West act tough among the likes of K-mart, Smith, Birdman, Nene and others.

Sons Chauncey Billups just shot some fluke shots. Plus Rasual Butthead can't guard a chair and Peja Shootallthebricks is scared of Marshmelo. Plus Denver air is real thin, almost made me dizzy enough to faint and hit the court without even being touched. But I been practicing my tango and once I start rolling, sons, I'll slip into some more free throws the next game. Scoring on Chris Andersen will be the big easy whoadie.

[Red Hawk #21]

Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!! Im pissed we lost. I wanted us to win all of our games at home. I know we can and should be able to still win this series but we have to get better. We have to play tougher, try to move the ball more and try to run the fastbreak more often. And we have to trap D-wade more. Im pissed, now on to Miami for game 3...

Well I was angry last night but at least the pussy ass bastards known as the "Hornets" lost in embarassing fashion. The Nuggets owned them well once again, Birdman sent that Pussy chris paul to the deck, Billups lit Chris paul the Fuck up! 31 points on 8 of 15 shooting, 4 of 6 from downtown and 11-11 freethrows! Chris paul got owned. Chris paul answered back with a weak 14 pts. Paul did have 13 asts but as a team the whorenets only had 18 assists. Maybe if Cp3 didn't dominate the ball so much they could have more assists. But anyway F the Hornets!! I hope the Nuggets sweep those bitches and send Chris Paul flopping all the way to off-season.

That game sucked for the Hawks. They were playing waaaaay too loose, and it's obvious they expected Miami to phone this one in. Things will be tougher for them from this point out: Miami has played well at home this year.

And fuck the Hornets. I normally don't like horror films, but it was fun to watch the torture-porn that was the Nuggets/Hornets beatdown last night.

Good luck to the Hawks in Game 3, I'm rootin' for 'em!

[Red Hawk #21]

Fuck!, we have to make a comeback in the 4th. Why are we struggling this much?

[Red Hawk #21]

Fuuck!!

I was seriously expecting this to be a mavs thread whining about 2006. All the asterisks in the title threw me off.

SERIES TIED 2-2, WE'RE GUNNA KILL YOU BACK AT PHILLIPS ARENA!!

[Red Hawk #21]

Lol @ The Hornets! Losing by 50+ points, ROFL!!. F the Hornets!! I knew Denver was going to kill those pussies but I didn't know they we're gunna lose by 58. What kind of team loses by Fifty-Eight?

[Morg1411]

Eat shit Heat Fan!!!!

SERIES TIED 2-2, WE'RE GUNNA KILL YOU BACK AT PHILLIPS ARENA!!

Good game, though waaaaaaay too many foul calls, especially early on. The pace of the entire game seemed a bit off, but that road win was huge for Atlanta.

[Red Hawk #21]

Oh and by the way those 4 point plays by James jones were bullshit. Maybe the first time it was a foul but the second time it definetely wasn't. And what was good with Jones knocking down Bibby on his made 3point shot with no foul called?

[Flo-Rida]

Eat shit Heat Fan!!!!

SERIES TIED 2-2, WE'RE GUNNA KILL YOU BACK AT PHILLIPS ARENA!!

yea bitch be happy now becuase come next game we will not play like we did game 4.
Miami has this.. so start to look for places to fish, hey i heard there is a place called key west that should be a good spot.

[Allanon]

This has been a pretty good series, much better than I thought.

But if DWade's still hobbling, Heat are gonna go down quick.

Anybody know what's wrong with DWade's back? He looked pretty hurt yesterday.

[Red Hawk #21]

D-Wade's a liar, that's why I call them the "Miami Cheat". He always says he's hurt in every series he plays in so that when he plays people will say "D-wade's a warrior he's palying hurt, or "D-wade lead his team to victory even though he's hurt" or the most popular of them all" the only reason the Heat lost was because D-wade was injured"

He might be truly injured but because of his acting I can never believe him. Well Marvin Williams is out for the next game so that will definetely affect us. We need his athleticism and defense. We'll just have to play through it. If we can establish our fastbreak tempo early this game will be over. You guys do remember game 1, right?

[jdev82]

game 3 i saw wade come of screens and as soon as he did the ref put up his arm slightly, showing that he was gonna call it anyways. an arm touch ensues, and mike is charged with the foul. the ref had had his hand going up since d wade got the ball. all he had to do was blow the whistle and hope theres no replay. no d wade gets no preferential treatment at all. sorry hawks, youre fucked by the refs

[Morg1411]

Good luck to the Hawks in Game 5. They should be able to take this one, provided they don't sleepwalk into the game.

[Allanon]

You guys do remember game 1, right?

That was a major beatdown, I was pretty sure the Heat were done after that.

Today will probably be another beatdown.

Coincidentally, the Hawks have the extreme athleticism to give the Cavaliers some trouble next round. So hurry up and finish this baby up.

[Red Hawk #21]

Yo! Check out this shit from the Miami herald I just read from Hawksquawk: http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/columnis...ry/1021191.html

Depressing, yes.

This wasn't why the Heat asked its fans to wear black, but it was certainly fitting Monday night.

An awakening, yes.

More than even the Game 1 disaster, this was a cruel reminder of just how difficult it is to win any playoff game, especially for a relatively young team.

Bleak? Hardly.

As bad is it looked to watch Dwyane Wade drag his worn body up and down the court and fail at his personal rescue attempt in the fourth quarter, this loss is not indicative of what's to come.

As emotionally draining as it was to experience a riveting 19-2 run to end the second quarter and follow that with a lifeless second half, it's nowhere near enough reason to declare the tide incapable of turning back in the Heat's favor.

The Hawks have home-court advantage in what is now a best-of-3 series. It is a position of strength, yes. But they are still the Hawks.

And even in a game that they never trailed and held a lead as big as 21 points in the first half, these Hawks showed why they're simply not capable of maintaining any of this momentum.

Call them emotionally unstable. Call them strategically challenged. Call them a coach's nightmare.

Whatever you call them, just remember that they're the Hawks, and the Heat will still recover from this, win the series and move on to a much-anticipated series against the Cavaliers.
Why the optimism after a dreadful performance in which the Heat scored more than 17 points in only one of four quarters?

Just rewind the tape and check the evidence.

That was Wade shooting four airballs in the first half. That doesn't happen unless he's hurt. And chances are he will find a way to work around a tight back or some sore muscles for the remainder of this series, now that he knows what is facing him.

But more importantly, remember how the Hawks took over the game and then nearly blew it in a matter of 11 minutes.

As the Heat was handling and shooting the ball as if it was covered in butter, the Hawks had 24 points in the first quarter and 22 in the second -- an average half.

The combination translated to a 44-23 lead with 3:47 left in the half.

Then the Heat amped up the pressure, and the real Hawks showed up.

Udonis Haslem took a charge and Maurice Evans nearly exploded.

Then Solomon Jones, who hasn't played significant minutes all series long, fouled James Jones shooting a three for a four-point play.

Then Mike Bibby blatantly pushed Mario Chalmers for an offensive foul on the ensuing inbounds.

And to finish off the comedy of blunders, Bibby fouled Jones again while he was shooting a three. Fouling a three-point shooter is one of basketball's criminal acts as it is, but to do it when Jones had a four-point play just 11 seconds earlier makes you question not just the basketball IQ, but just the regular-old IQ of the team in general.

The Heat's close to the second quarter was so predictable, it was as if it was simply baiting the Hawks the entire time.
The only part that was surprising is that Miami couldn't finish off the comeback, which had as much to do with more poor shooting than anything Atlanta did.

Yes, the Hawks outrebounded the Heat. And, yes, Zaza Pachulia had 12 points and 18 rebounds in 34 minutes off the bench.

But Smith was at his unpredictable offensive worst. Joe Johnson was still stymied by the Heat defense in a 5-of-12 effort. And Flip Murray continued to take more shots than anyone should be comfortable with him taking.

So if the key to winning Game 5 is basically ''shut down Zaza Pachulia,'' consider it possibly the easiest game plan in playoff history. And consider it done.
A pessimist might look at the Heat's two-point production from a limited bench and consider that a problem. But it's practically a guarantee that Wade going 9 of 26 and the bench going 0 of 7 from the floor in the same game will never happen again. Not in this playoff series, anyway.

Remember how Wade and the bench responded after the Game 1 debacle?

Monday was sad and unexpected and painful to watch (whether you were a Heat fan or not). But it's no precursor.

The Heat will recover.

Wade-LeBron is still very much on.


My Response: Who the Hell does Miami's homers think they are?! I seriously hope we destroy these guys now. Hawks, don't let me down!!

[Red Hawk #21]

Yo Fuck the Miami Herald!!

[Red Hawk #21]

Let's go Hawks!!

[kamikazi_player]

is there any miami heat fans in this board?

[dirk4mvp]

This series has been kinda boring. I hope the Hawks win however. And it's really frustrating to watch a guy who's top 5 in athleticism in the league in Josh Smith just chuck up 22 footer after 22 footer.

[lefty]

Damn, did you just see that collision?

Wade is down :td

[crc21209]

Damn, did you just see that collision?

Atlanta fans are idiots as well. Booing because D-Wade collided with Josh Smith and hit his head on the floor? What idiots...

Yeah then booing when the Heat on a fastbreak called a timeout for the team to get to Wade on the floor. You stay classy Atlanta fans.

atlanta fans are idiots as well. Booing because d-wade collided with josh smith and hit his head on the floor? What idiots...

[Armando]

Great box out by Bavetta

[crc21209]

Things getting very testy in this game right now. The refs were full of shit on that flagrant foul call on D-Wade. He clearly was going for the block on Evans, yet Wade gets called for a flagrant. The refs must be scared as shit because the Commish is there. How Dwight Howard doesnt get a flagrant or ejected last night for his elbow yet Wade gets a flagrant called on him for an attempted block is stupid as hell...

Yeah that flagrant on Wade was bogus. Evans momentum is what caused him to fall hard like that. I think the officials overreacted to what happen earlier. I think that flagrant foul will not hold up if the Heat appeal it.

[Darthkiller]

if that's a flagrant, how was rondo's foul not a flagrant. at least wade was going for the ball, rondo got all mouth..

[gaKNOW!blee]

Wow, that was a lot of swearing, who else heard that?

[lefty]

Ouch

[Armando]

if that's a flagrant, how was rondo's foul not a flagrant. at least wade was going for the ball, rondo got all mouth..



Yeah that the refs for you

If the Hawks lose Horford they are toast vs Miami

[lefty]

Cheryl Miller and her stupid questions

[Armando]

Cheryl Miller and her stupid questions




:lol

[Armando]

So Stu Jackson says the Rondo foul is not flagrant but yet Wade's clean block on Evans is called a flagrant? The Heat need to appeal that call on Wade. That makes no sense that Rondo's foul was called a basketball play. Even Rivers and Rondo admitted that much after the game. That thier intent is not to give up layups in the playoffs.

[dirk4mvp]

lol Josh Smith almost went between the legs. I can't believe he actually tried that in a playoff game regardless of being up 20 :lol

[Armando]

What a dumbass its a good thing is not a tight game.

[gaKNOW!blee]

lol thats why i love Josh Smith.


Im pretty sure even if it was a tight game he still wouldve tried it.

[Banzai]

Hawks close out in Miami?

[Def Rowe]

Atlanta just looks mad confident in this last quarter against the Heat. Not stressed at all. It'd be interesting to see how they play in the next round.

[Jacob1983]

So is Wade still in the MVP debate?

[Red Hawk #21]

Yo these fuckers hurt Big Al, I hope we finish them off in game 6. Lol @ the Cheat trying their hardest to injure players last night, fucking cheaters. I hope no one from our team shows d-whistle any love after we win this series.

[Red Hawk #21]

Oh yeah and one final fuck you to Chris Paul lol. Lol chris paul 12 pts on 5-16, Last year in the playoffs paul kept screaming "he can't guard me" this year he shot 40% from the field in the playoffs lol. I guess he was guarded and guarded well. Good Job Chauncey and others, enjoy your offseason Whorenets!!!

[RedsLakers24]

Wade cant get out of the First Round without Shaq

[Spursfan092120]

Yo these fuckers hurt Big Al, I hope we finish them off in game 6. Lol @ the Cheat trying their hardest to injure players last night, fucking cheaters. I hope no one from our team shows d-whistle any love after we win this series.
Yeah..but at the same time, your fans were pretty fucked for booing D Wade when he got knocked to the ground. And then the players went after him. It was bad when Al got hurt, and I love Al Horford, and I'm rooting for the Hawks, but that was just him landing wrong...wasn't caused by anything. I hope the Hawks win, but your fans showed little class last night.

Yup your right it was classless, I was on a hawksforum a couple of mins ago and they were all saying the same thing. Thing is the Fans of this team have been through alot, they want the Hawks to win so much, that's why I think Wade got booed the fans just let their emotions get the best of them. But alot of fans did cheer when he got back up, not that it makes up for the booing...

[crc21209]

D-Wade is going to go apeshit on the Hawks in Game 6 in Miami. The fans were classless last night booing D-Wade for no reason. And :lol at Wade getting called for a flagrant going for a block. The Heat werent trying to hurt Horford purposely he just landed wrong..shit happens. The other classless thing came courtesy of Josh Smith..typical showboat jackass "balla" move. Wade took major exception to that and is going to come out guns blazing in game 6. This series will go to 7...and I wont go against Wade in a Game 7.

No..it doesn't make up for it. But I'm glad most of the fans don't agree with it. I was kind of miffed at the whole thing. Good..now I feel better for cheering for them. :)

[Armando]

Wade cant get out of the First Round without Shaq



Check back in 03 Wade won a playoff series vs the Hornets.

[Armando]

This is going 7 games people forget that the Hawks are a really bad road team thier Game 4 win not withstanding.

[Rogue]

Wade cant get out of the First Round without Shaq
Without Shaq, Kobe can't win the ring either, nor can shaq.

[Armando]

The Hawks should be concern about tomorrow. Wade's back seem to get better towards the end of Game 5. Plus No Williams and no Horford possibly. I also think the Heat role players would play better at home.

[Red Hawk #21]

Both big Al and Marvin are out and we're going to play in Miami, the odds are stacked against us. Even with all of this I still believe we can win, it won't be easy but we can do it.

[Red Hawk #21]

Hawks close out in Miami?

If the refs let us, Its pretty obvious Stern wants Heat vs Cavs

[Red Hawk #21]

D-Wade is going to go apeshit on the Hawks in Game 6 in Miami. The fans were classless last night booing D-Wade for no reason. And :lol at Wade getting called for a flagrant going for a block.

Oh really? Have you seen what Jamaal magloire has been doing in this series? Im totally convinced they're trying to hurt our players. And BTW check out this quote by D-Whistle : "Zaza Pachulia is knocking people out," Wade said. "I'm not telling my teammates to knock him out, but when he comes down the paint, at least make sure he feels it on offensive rebounds."

Make sure he "feels it on the offensive rebounds". What exactly is D-whistle suggesting there?

[crc21209]

:lol at Red Hawk #21 crying about Williams and Horford being out for the Hawks. Jermaine O' Neal is out for the Heat and Williams is playing for the Hawks..and the Heat are STILL up 20 on the Hawks at the start of the 4th. Heat IN 7.

[JoeTait75]

Maybe I'm spoiled by Celtics-Bulls, but this series blows. It's just one ass-kicking after another.

[dirk4mvp]

lol at that douchebag fan after Wade's dunk thinking he was gonna get a high 5.

[Jacob1983]

Does being home favor the Hawks for game 7?

[Armando]

Talk about a complete meltdown by the Hawks. A game were they have a chance to advance and they shoot a dismal 37 percent. They spent more time barking at the refs then playing. I see the Heat winning on Sunday. I think the Hawks won't stand the pressure of being the favorites and having to win Game 7 at home. Last year they played loose and free since they were heavy underdogs and took the Celts to 7. I am telling you like Chuck would say their butts are going to be tight on Sunday. If the Heat come out and get a 10 plus point lead to start the game the Hawks will fold. Nothing more dangerous then Wade playing loose and free.

[Armando]

Note to Mario Chalmers

Is Mike Bibby! The only point guard whose defense is worse then Nash's defense. By now you should know you have license to abuse him.

[Red Hawk #21]

I hate this series, that was a trashy performance. Hopefully our fans give us some energy in game 7, this team is absolutely garbage unless they can get their fastbreak tempo. Its the coaching honestly, we have no system. You never know what to expect from this team at times we look like Gods and times we look how we looked like last night. Its frustrating, but I honestly hope we win on sunday. We need to get an early lead and just play hard.

[Armando]

If the refs are Salvatore,Mauer,Bavetta be afraid be very afriad Hawks fans.

[BUMP]

Wade vs Lebron?

Sounds like a wet dream for Stern.

Sorry Hawk fans but your bags have already been packed.

So lets get ready for Heat/Cavs.

[UltimA]

So lets get ready for Heat/Cavs.I have to agree, I just don't see them doing it even though they're at home.

[The Franchise]

They are cheating for Miami and the Hawks are still kicking their asses!!

[crc21209]

They are cheating for Miami and the Hawks are still kicking their asses!!


:lol get real the Heat have had 12 fouls called on them and the Hawks have had 7 called on them. Heat with 9 FT's, Hawks with 13.

[Armando]

I liked Crawford's expression. It was like shit the Heat are down 14. Me and Bennet have work to do in the 2nd half.

[crc21209]

Well this blows, I had a feeling the minute Jamario Moon went down it might have been over. He was great for Miami since they acquired him. Right now the Heat have only gotten 9 FG's. 4 from Wade, 3 from Haslem, and 1 each from Chalmers, Jones, and Beasley. Thats not gonna get it done...

[Shank]

Ho shit! Crawford AND Salvatore????

[crc21209]

I just cant get myself to root for a cocky showboat like Josh Smith.

[Armando]

Ho shit! Crawford AND Salvatore????



Yes I am surprise Wade is being passive. He needs to attack the basket more.

[Armando]

I just cant get myself to root for a cocky showboat like Josh Smith.



That guy is a dumbass worse then Amare.

[Armando]

Missed dunk by Smith

[DAF86]

Why is Wade always limping?

[Armando]

Is striking to me how much separation there is between the Cavs and Heat/Cavs. The Cavs can win anywhere they really don't need HCA to win the title. The Hawks though are always saying things like "our crowd gets us going". If they have any serious aspirations to win they need realize there will come when they need to win on the road. You know the Cavs are going to Atlanta and get a win.

[crc21209]

Josh Smith is such an overrated player. I have seen nothing of him really to think he's so great. All he can really do is dunk and finish under the rim. He cant post up alot, shoot a jump shot, or anything else worth a damn in this series.

:lol. The Hawks are not going to win ONE game in Cleveland. Cavs could easily sweep if they wanted. Most likely Cavs in 5 if it is Cavs/Hawks.

If they advance it will be fun to see Varejao get under his skin. You know Varejao is going to do something to set off his dumbass.

[dirk4mvp]

That 30 ft. pullup in Wade's face was nasty.

[Armando]

:lol. The Hawks are not going to win ONE game in Cleveland. Cavs could easily sweep if they wanted. Most likely Cavs in 5 if it is Cavs/Hawks.



My point exactly the Hawks need to stop relying on HCA so much. As Manu once said HCA is nice but a championship caliber team can win anywhere.

[Armando]

That 30 ft. pullup in Wade's face was nasty.



Yeah but you know if your the Heat you live with that shot. I doubt he makes that again.

[The Franchise]

:lol get real the Heat have had 12 fouls called on them and the Hawks have had 7 called on them. Heat with 9 FT's, Hawks with 13.

It should be a lot more lopsided. Half of those 7 were bull calls as well. I have already seen 3 Phantom calls against the Hawks, and that's not cheating?

[Armando]

I still see the Heat pulling this out. Wade has not exploded yet in this game. Lets see what happens in the 3rd.

[Armando]

The Heat really need to get Wade more help. They remind of the 2007 Cavs.

[Armando]

The Heat need to push the ball everytime they walk the ball up Wade is going 1 on 5. Also Wade needs to attack Bibby if Bibby is on him.

[DollarSlice]

Should be a good second half... Heat have to get it going. (http://www.nba.com/games/20090503/MIAATL/gameinfo.html?cid=playoff1)

[Armando]

Damn Beasly sucks so far in this game. BTW that should have been a foul on Horford.

[KSeal]

This is the worst series ever, Wade doesn't even give a shit it seems.

[Muser]

:wakeup

[GuerillaBlack]

Dwayne Wade is a dumbass. First he doesn't dribble up the court in time, then a costly charge foul.

[resistanze]

Heat are done. D-Whistle killed all the momentum in the last 2 minutes. Understandable though, as their team sucks ass.

[TDomination]

Dwayne Wade is a dumbass. First he doesn't dribble up the court in time, then a costly charge foul.

Yeah, the 8 seconds was stupid.

But that charge was a weak call.

That charge call was bs.

[Armando]

Looks like he is pulling a Kobe circa 2006. Can't blame him no one on the Heat is doing much besides Wade.

[GuerillaBlack]

It sure was, but still.

Michael Beasly.

[Armando]

Michael Beasly.


You mean his turnovers or his defense on Josh Smith.

[Jacob1983]

Wade hasn't done shit since 2006 when he shot and made a lot of free throws in the Finals. Is T-Mobile finally going to stop having Wade in their commercials? I mean seriously, the guy is the most overrated player in the NBA.

I disagree is amazing that with this roster he won 43 games and made it to 7 games in the playoffs.

[sook]

Wade's team is absolutely deplorable. No Center, an injured Jermaine O neal, 2 rookies for the best players outside of wade. They overachieved. The hawks are assembled so much better.

[Armando]

Great defense Beasly

[Matchman]

beasley is a bust, i called it here first. cant play a lick of a defense and a giant offensive black hole... hes basically Zach Randolph the second except hes not even as skilled offensively as Zach :lol

[Jacob1983]

Being around shitty teammates is no excuse for Wade. If he is suppose to be an MVP type calibur player then he should be able to lift his team up and get them out of the first round. Wade can't do that on his own because he's not good enough.

[Armando]

I bet Riley regrets passing over OJ Mayo

You sound bitter.

30.2PPG/5.0RPG/7.5APG and he's overrated? He might be a drama queen, but he's one of the best players in the NBA.

The Heat suck ass.

Damn, you must REALLY hate Dirk, according to that logic.

[Armando]

Wade is doing all he can. 25 points and they are still down 82-56. The rest of the team is M.I.A.

[Armando]

LOL at the Hawks celebrating. Reality is going to hit them hard in the semis.

I hope the Miami front office thinks like you. That way Morey might be able to trade McGrady and his 23 million expiring contract for that overrated piece of shit. :lol

[IronMexican]

Thank Allah this shit is almost over.

lol, butthurt mavfans

[DAF86]

Would you do McGrady for Vince Carter? Or would you wait 'till McGrady's contract is off the books to go after a big name in 2010?

[The Franchise]

Would you do McGrady for Vince Carter?

No, same gene pool.

[resistanze]

This beatdown was so bad that I actually understand what 'getting your anus handed to you' means now.

[DAF86]

No, same gene pool.

You would be a lot batter now with Carter instead of McGrady.

True, but he is older and his Vag is just as big. Wouldn't be enough of an upgrade.

This current Rockets team with Wade would be a top 3 contender. What does the Rockets FO plan to do with T-Mac's contract?

[The Franchise]

I actually would prefer Carter. After losing so often he has to have a little more fire to win than the whore we now have.

[DrHouse]

D-Wade and co. with the epic fail today. Didn't even put up a fight.

[The Franchise]

They say they intend to let him come back healthy, but that is expected. I would try to trade it for Rip Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince.

[Fermixalot]

Gutless. Fucking took D-Wade out of game 7. I know you're down 20 but fucking have some pride.

Its game 7 and its your season on the line and you have D-Wade. Fucking pussies.

[resistanze]

I actually would prefer Carter. After losing so often he has to have a little more fire to win than the whore we now have.

Problem is, that fire dies after half a year. :lol

He half-assed it in Toronto (less than 16PPG) till he was traded, then averaged about 28PPG for the Nets. But then the Nets started slowly sucking again and he's back in 'Paycheck mode'.

[baseline bum]

This is the most boring 7-game series I have ever seen. Half this game I was on ESPN watching chicks shoot pool because it was so much more interesting than this worthless matchup.

[DAF86]

They say they intend to let him come back healthy, but that is expected. I would try to trade it for Rip Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince.

Wouldn't you prefer let T-Mac contract expire and try to get Wade or another big name after next season?

[KSeal]

Hawks are going to get curb stomped by the LBJ's.

[Armando]

If the LeBrons keep thier focus and don't let thier feet of the pedal this should be a sweep.

[Armando]

D-Wade and co. with the epic fail today. Didn't even put up a fight.



Wade scored his average is his teammates that failed. Damn Beasly sucked

[The Franchise]

Wouldn't you prefer let T-Mac contract expire and try to get Wade or another big name after next season?

Yeah but it's a little risky that way. Plus you will end up having a price war with every other team going after the biggest names. Besides could you imagine Rip Hamilton in Adelmans offense with Prince and Battier coming off the bench. :wow

[DAF86]

Yeah, that sounds good. But I wouldn't put Prince on the bench, I'd give him the starting job and let Artest go. When does his contract end?

[lefty]

Time for the Hawks to get destroyed by Cleveland

[Banzai]

Time for the Hawks to get destroyed by Cleveland

you think Cleveland sweeps or wins in 5?

[bdubya]

Not gonna happen. Rip and Tay are on the table, but the Pistons need quality frontcourt help, which they can't go after if they're carrying an overpaid, injury-prone wing.

[The Franchise]

Yeah, that sounds good. But I wouldn't put Prince on the bench, I'd give him the starting job and let Artest go. When does his contract end?

After the playoffs.

Pistons aren't going anywhere next season, I think Dumars would love to have 23 mil coming off the books in 2010.

[Matchman]

Yeah, that sounds good. But I wouldn't put Prince on the bench, I'd give him the starting job and let Artest go. When does his contract end?

his contract ends this year but its likely that morey will give him an extension with his playoff performance so far :toast
btw even with TMacs contract coming off the book we can barely keep everyone in our current roster. Von Wafer, Lowry, Brooks, Scola, and Landry are all under-valued now and they will be asking for a big payday. We also need to trade for another big man to back up Yao (our top priority of this off-season)

[DAF86]

After the playoffs.

If you somehow manage to get Rip and Tay I wouldn't re-sign Artest.

[lefty]

5

IMO Rockets top priority should be getting a star guard that can take over in the clutch.

[Matchman]

the perfect plan would be trade TMac for Rip and Tay, resign Artest and trade Battier for a quality back up Big man (like Lee or Wilcox). Although i am a Battier homer but Tay is just as good of a defensive player as Battier while Tay is lightyears ahead of Battier on offense :depressed

A starting lineup of Yao, Scola, Artest, Rip, Brooks with Prince and Wilcox coming off the bench? just give us the :lobt2: at the beginning of the season

[Armando]

Cavs in 4

Games 3 and 4 in Atlanta won't matter. While the Hawks are happy just to be in the 2nd round the Cavs will see the Finals.

[Matchman]

you will change your mind after the Lakers big men hand us back our anus when Yao is sitting on the bench :bang

If I have Prince and Hamilton (two players that can create on offense) then I'd much rather have Battier than Artest on my team. Artest would be a lot more expensive and he also may have problems accepting to be the 4th option on the team (behind Yao, Rip and Tay, not to mention that he should be a lesser option than Scola and maybe Brooks and Wafer too)

[DAF86]

Hasta Luego Cheat, Refs were cheating for you and yet you still got blown out of the effin building. I told you guys that not even the Refs could save D-whistle this time. On a serious note though that was a extremely boring and annoying series. Cavs are gunna kick our ass, hopefully we can get a win and not get swept...*sighs*

Yeah I like the how the game clock "malfunction" causing Wade a 8 second violation. That call broke the momentum the Heat were getting into after cutting into the lead.

You realize that if Game 7 were in Miami most likely the Hawks would have been done. Is moot either way the Cavs are going to crush the Hawks or Heat if they had advance.

At least we made the playoffs. You can't say the same.
