NBA: Finals Preview? Rox @ Heat sponsored by chemistry issues and "pranks".

[Thread]

Yeah Lin shot the stupid three. Harden left Allen wide open, Howard the only player near the ball and tapping it back to the refs, McHale staying small, etc., etc.

Lettin' Allen do ya like that.

Wade was atrocious in the playoffs last year, tbh..Miami was -54 when Wade was on the floor in the Finals, tbh, historically bad numbers..

Duncan had less help, but outside of that 2003 Spurs team and Hakeem's 94 team, Lebron's 2013 Heat team was the worst supporting cast to win a le in the modern era, tbh..

Bull . No way I would take Mavs cast or Kobe's over Heatles. I dont care what the numbers say. Heat played the GOAT coach and GOAT PF so of course some numbers were off tak away Lebron's amazing Game 7 and his numbers arent GOAT caliber either.

POP is da .

POP is da .

6 & 8 withstanding.

That prank and shopping trip sure came in handy ...

Cant believe Spur fan is afraid of Rox ...

Harden is the truth ... Parsons is coming along nicely ...

But this team is NOT ready for big time hoops

By the way, to Clippers Nation. Just because your conscience is rotting for reasons unknown doesn't mean you have to take it out on the forums. Accepting the truth is part of being out of your delusions. This is the first time and the last time I'll speak directly to you because I just want you to know that you're wasting your time quoting me. So spend you time quoting Koolaid or Thread who basically are on your level in terms of rotting conscience. By the way. You can quote this if you want but just so all three of you know, you're on my ignore list. Now make a thread about me.

Not directed at them, but directed at everyone. You to have too much access to knowledge to be delusional. Question everything.

On the subject at hand. J.W.B played more than well and had to in order to win this game. The short roll isn't very successful if its easy to double. Harden was easy to double tonight and isn't very efficient at passing. At times, Harden was lazy. The Heat played hard early connecting on turnovers in transition. Isn't it ridiculous right now that the ESPN is actually replaying the possession where LeBron is holding Jeremy Lin in a clear moving screen and making it a highlight of the game? Cheating is a highlight now?

All about matchups tbh. Spurs aren't quick enough to defend their shooters and they still have no answers for Harden.

[Killakobe81]

Good news for Spur fan ...Yall probably making it back to the Finals.

Bad news for Spur fan ... Lebron will most likely be waiting.

Heat will need to play better than today and even better than last June to 3peat.

I doubt Pop repeats his mistakes.

Neither did Heat yet they still won ... plus they have worst bigs than the Spurs. And no Pop ...

[Robz4000]

Not too sure yet about the Heat coming out of the East. The Pacers have been mediocre the past few months but are still a matchup nightmare while the Nets and Bulls have been playing well. Heat might also end up having to expend energy in the first round this year too.

Heat have Lebron, the best player on the court, as well as Wade; both of whom are top notch defenders. Chalmers can also defend much better than Parker this season.

There wasnt much top notch defense being played by either side just pressure scramble on defense on BOTH sides.

Like I said, Beverley is a nice energy player. But he should not be a starter, and it hurts the team in crunch time because he can't create, and he plays dumb. Rockets have no reliable PF, Jones and Motiejunas are both too inconsistent to compete for anything this year. Personnel wise, that's their biggest problem alongside no true wing scorer coming off the bench. Oh, and no reliable PG. A smart PG would be nice. I also think Jones isn't a PF, he is more of a SF. But he did play good today and should have been in the game late.

[~O~]

I don't really know what will Happen with the East right now. The Pacers are back on stride and the Nets are playing great basketball. The Nets and the Raptors for that matter are a wild card. If the Bulls become much more capable of scoring, they're dangerous. Thus far, Joakim Noah has improved on passing and how are his assists generated? The Heat are not alone anymore. Because they have been crowned (which is losing all relevancy), other teams are being overlooked.

The Spurs will be beat the up if the take the West this year. It will be a scrap fest to reach the finals. No doubt about that. In fact, any team that comes from the West will have scars on their chest.

Popovich's decision making is something I will never doubt. I believe that Popovich had a situation in the finals he had no choice but to deal with. That situation was...chance. I still trust pops decisions. The Spurs primary matchup issue right now..is young, pesky, tall, athletic teams. If there is a rematch, the Heat will be no issue. Thus the West being their biggest concern.

You're better than this. 1) Taking one game to make a point is probably foolish. 2) Taking one game that happens to be against the 2x defending champs on their court who really needed a win is even more foolish.

If you don't think the Rockets are capable of beating every team in the West I think you're crazy. Would they be the favorites in every series? No. But they are damn good and match up well with SA in particular. One loss against a Heat team focused on righting the ship, especially when they were in the game the entire time, is a little silly to me.

Just don't touch the in' ball after it goes thru the hoop, puddin'head.

Neither did Media after 6. Must be nice. Chicken , but, nice.

Kobe's supporting casts were levels better, not even really close, and Dirk's cast was also better, especially considering the defensive effort needed to negate Dirk's mobility at that point of his career..

Apparently.

It's not only reckless, but, it's indicative of a weak, submissive mind...trying to curry favor with the refs instead of busting the Heat's crack.

That's three in-a-row. One more and it's the dinner bucket. Who's on tap, stinky?

Players do it all the time, and it isn't a technical.

But, that's the rule. What they did was reckless. There was no focus, just self diversion & preservation......holding onto to the "fun" aspects of the Sunday afternoon instead of entering into the death struggle that the Heat struck. You never even resisted. You just bent over. Quit trying to brown nose the refs (even subconsciously) and execute the demise of the Heat.

You wanted out, dj. You have to want in. Then, THEN you'll be on that plain.

Dude you're a smart poster so I don't understand how you have your head up so far up your ass. I didn't make the point that it was the HEAT...in MIAMI...because you seem to be blinded by your Dwight hate so much already. The fact that Deep is telling you this should probably echo a lot louder.

Personally? I don't give a about how good the rockets do in the reg season. They could be the 1st seed but until they show some playoff success its not worth anything. You seem to be under the misconception that the rockets are being paraded around like the best team in the league and the thought of that, true or not, compels you to post the same stuff over and over.

Its your opinion, like I said, I don't care, but I'll do you the courtesy of letting you know.

Dude is a parrot that's lost the flavor of his phrases. Its sad that he has belittled himself to this

I don't even know why you waste your time responding to someone that is living through other teams and can't hold a decent bball discussion.
