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!

Miami is one step closer to winning another championship.
I do hope that Miami win it all to shut those Le-haters.

mmmmmm....
Boston players got no respect... that is so sad.
I give madd props to R. Allen and D. West for staying behind to congrats Miami players.
P.P and KG can go cry about it.

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.

Wow way to blow a 6-0 lead...

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

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?

mmmmmm....
Far as bandwagon comment:
love it or hate it.
There are always going to be bandwagon jumper.... nothing new about that.

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.

'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...

'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.

I'm saying people that were not a Miami Heat fan last year shit actually beginning of this year and then all of a sudden your a heat fan and not claiming your team you used to like...

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.

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.

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.

Any Bulls fans getting really annoyed with this Jeff Teague guy? Like wtf..... how is he getting to the hole and making so many shots? I'm just being a hater, he's playing really well this series.
