Interesting, Ray Allen, Delonte West, and coach Doc are the only people who stayed after to congratulate the Heat.

I think its kinda cool...when rivalries were really heated. There was no social media or internet to know how others regions of the country felt about each other, at least sportwise. So I think this was really eye opening to me.

I was actually 8 when it happened, watching with my dad to see who the Lakers would play for the championship. I really respected the Boston-LA rivalry at that point, and this really just lent itself to that....they cared as equally as Laker fans did.

Its not jumping from one bandwagon to another, like its being implied , its a rivalry thing.

Go Heat!
What a moster finish by Lebron and Wade.

Miami is one step closer to winning another championship.

I do hope that Miami win it all to shut those Le-haters.

Wow 4 - 1

Even going into the Playoffs I would have put Miami at maybe the 3rd most likely East team to go to finals (behind Chicago and Boston). But seeing them play in the postseason they are now playing like they should have been all year. and judging how Chicago is struggling against Atlanta, I would say the Heat have a VERY good chance of beating them.

Are we looking at a rematch of the 2006 Finals?

by the time Chicago gets to next round, they won't have enough energy to pull it off.

First the Purple & Old, now the Green Dino Fossils.

Good to know we'll finally have some new blood in the Finals.

Kinda glad of this too. With the Lakers these past few years, I'd watch the east for the any true competition. Now, its kinda wide open (the Heat look GOOD).

I'd be interested to see how Thibodeau handles 2 perimeter threats (assuming Chi beats Atl).

What would really be crazy if Atlanta actually pulls this off. They REALLY surprised me this year. I expected them to be out of the first round in 5 games max, but they clearly were the better team against the Magic (who also just walked off the court after being eliminated).

Surely I would have expected the Bulls to sweep them, but this series has had 4 pretty competitive games. I don't even know what to expect on Friday. The Hawks are pretty unpredictable.

LBJ and Wade were hugging it out in the stands at the other end of the court. Were the Celtics suppose to wait for them to finish so they could congratulate them?

It's because Ray is Jesus duh.

2 clutch games in a row by LeBron. I think LeBron was emotional because of what happened last year and how he came through on this series.

I thought we would lose since they shot 50% most of the game. Plus with Joel in foul trouble and Juwan getting stuffed every shot he took. That 16-0 run to end the game was holy shit. I can't believe the playoffs are only through 2 rounds. Lots of emotion and work.

I think the HEAT are the favorite whoever they play. Chicago has struggled a bit the post season. That being said I think the bulls would match up better than most teams against the heat. Deng and Bogans are good defenders, and I'm not sure there's anyone on the heat that can check Rose.

Agreed. Same with Bynum.

Love or hate the Lakers, take downs, clotheslines, and bumps like that usually happen to the 'soft' Lakers, not the other way around.

'Bandwagon' is an overrated word, IMO. Just cuz my team is out of the playoffs doesn't mean I'll stop watching....and I'll readily admit that I want one team or another to win even if its not mine.

'Bandwagon', 'haters' are all pretty immature assumptions to make about a person or a fanbase.

Glad the Heat won against the Cel-outs, but I don't give a rat's ass if they win it all. They do look like the best of what's left though...

Wasn't directed at you, but I do think those words are overrated, IMO. So no, I wasn't calling you out on that, just a more general statement about how immature people can get with that kinda stuff.

I understand your point, but let people cheer or root against whomever they like. Makes life easier.

good to see ray allen being a stand up guy, can't stand the rest of the celtics. i can't believe i was rooting for the heat.

if there's one thing that history tells us it's that there's no chance the bulls go all the way this year. to a lesser extent, the same would hold true for the thunder. young and inexperienced teams never win nba championships and the thunder look like they're still a year or so away. even the hawks have advanced to the second round of the playoffs for the past 3 years.

the mavs are perfectly set up to go all the way. veteran and good defensive team with one of the best players in the nba and they've been there and lost before. i don't know who i would pick if they meet up with the heat though, it's unpredictable like the heat-celtics before it began.

Funny you mentioned Jordan's comeback because me and my friend were talking about that a little while ago. He still put up 20PPG his last year at a decent FG%.

i thought he played great for the team he had around him..

he also had several 30+ and a few 40+ points games that season!

sure it didnt seem that great b/c his team just wasnt winning games... but jordan never left as an average player... he just left after his prime.. i lost no respect for him.

he will always be the greatest to every play the game.

My issue with Piece (and I still resent him for this), is when the Celtics played the Wizards, Pierce actually owned Jordan several times. Actually, every NBA player that matched up against MJ that year wanted to show him up or do well against him. But players were humble about it afterwards, still giving MJ props and saying it was an honor playing with him, etc.... Pierce on the other hand talked shit about MJ and was extremely cocky about the entire thing. I'll never forget that post-game interview.

What is there to congratulate? The LeHeat didn't demolish the Celtics by 70 points or more each game and it was not a sweep.



They failed IMO. Nothing to congratulate.
