[NBA] vbook: Spurs vs Heat

[NDWorld247]

I wish I could reach through my tv and smack that smug look off spoelstra's face during this presser.

 

[TheRealLynch51]

That's the joke. He told Lebron there's a 5th quarter so he would actually be effective in the 4th quarter.

And without Lebron's fourth, the Spurs win the championship. No matter how you slice it, Lebron James stepped up in a finals elimination game and came out with a triple double. I have no idea why you hate the man so much, but he clearly stepped up tonight.

 

[returnofthemack]

In hindsight, the implications of that missed FT will be far worse than San Antonio winning another title.

Lebron would have been branded a second tier star in the all-time discussion, and the label would be IMPOSSIBLE to shed moving forward.

Instead, we are going to be treated to numerous "where does this title put him now in the all-time discussion?" and of course every idiot will overreact and put him way higher than he should be.

*there is 0% chance the Spurs win Game 7. Take that to the bank.

He's not second tier, but he's absolutely not on the level of Jordan, and not on the level of Kobe. He has more talent than both of them, but his attitude toward the game is not even close. He is 6'8 285 lbs and flops like a kitten in the clutches of a tornado. But honestly, I hate the Heat because of mediocre players like Chalmers and all the old, washed-up hangers on that act like they're the $hit, and then Spoelstra getting love when he's in reality the new Mike Brown. And don't even get me started on the bandwagon-a$$ miami "fans".

Joey Crawford special. 100% handed it to the Heat.

Where? How?

I am a Knick fan, and the only truly questionable call I saw was the foul on Duncan where I thought it should have been a jump ball with Lebron.

Ginobili traveled before he was fouled (would have been his 9th turnover of the night), and NO ONE will call a foul on Bosh on that Green desperation heave.

It's unbelievably silly to say this game was 'rigged'. Unless Joey Crawford was the one that made Manu and Kawhi miss free throws, or have them lose defensive rebounds, then I have no idea where the hell you are coming from. Any of those things happen different, the Spurs win, regardless of officials.

I don't think its healthy to carry this much hate inside of you dude. Relax. It's just basketball. And Lebron James' triple double says hello.

Just as you don't like the haters, most people don't like annoying antagonists either.

 

[TheRealLynch51]

Still, there is no reason to rip someone after he stepped up big and helped his team win the game with a great performance.

Do Lebum's two turnovers in the final minute, requiring Ray Allen to bail him out, say hello as well?

 

[TheRealLynch51]

No. Just that comeback led by Lebron in the 4th when his team was down 13.

You're a fan of the Cardinals, Colts, Xavier, and the Heat? Nice. F*cking bandwagoners

 

[greyhammer90]

Joey Crawford special. 100% handed it to the Heat. Lebron, statistically impressive fourth quarter and all, continues to melt down in the final few minutes, and he continues to get bailed out by the refs. The best is his face on the one play per series where the call does not go in his favor. Tells you everything you need to know about the guy. He owes his career to NBA officiating, and acts like the victim of a felony when he thinks something didn't go his way.

All right Ill say it. You're f***ing insane. Read every word you just said out loud slowly. Go back watch the game, watch lebrons entire career.

Holy sh*t I've never seen so much butthurt. "Statistically impressive"? That's a phrase now?

Hahaha nice try. I'm from southwest Indiana, born and raised a Colts and Cardinals fan. In fact, I came from the same town as Scott Rolen was born in. In regards to Xavier, I just graduated from there with a BSBA, so I think I have a right to be a fan. With the heat, I will admit its more fair weather and bandwagony. I'm more of just a Lebron James fan more than anything. I rooted for Cleveland when he was there.

He's a professional and this is a forum. It's ok to say suck it to Lebron on here.

 

[NDPhilly]

Statisticly impressive lol. He played pretty badly for 3 quarters but still ended up with a triple double. That's how good he is. Even when he isn't scoring he is rebounding and a great passer.

You just proved his point.

Right.

 

[TheRealLynch51]

And I admitted it. But I will not stand for people calling out my fandom on the other three.

 

[koonja]

EVERYONE expects the Heat to win game 7, but there's no way Green and Neal combine for A 3 pointer, Parker scores that low and Ginobili has 9 turnovers.

This is all supposed to happen so the Spurs can rip the Heat's heart out in game 7. Goodnight all!

 

[Pachuco]

I bet the farm on the Spurs, and Ray Allen took all my chickens.

Moral of the story: Never bet everything against Jesus Shuttlesworth.

 

[TheRealLynch51]

Right.

and I admitted it. Do you want a certificate that I wear around my neck at all times that says "I am a bandwagon fan of the Miami Heat"?

 

[Jebediah Springfield]

Jesus Christ Lebron

Here we go.....uggggh

edit: Just realized I was looking at the 1st page ha ha

He didn't. At least I don't think. I think he was saying geographically it doesn't make sense for you to be a Heat fan. I could be wrong though.

I don't care who wins, I just want a game 7 to be that entertaining. That was good sh*t.

He did. Can't help it that I was born lucky enough to see two of those teams win championships and one have an incredible successful past 10 years of basketball.

Edit: that sounded snippy. im sorry.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Lebron is a polarizing figure, and has many people who don't like him. If he embraced this fact like Kobe does (don't like me? Eff you, I'm gonna win anyway) he would still be hated, but much more respected.

Fair enough.

Exactly. The other teams are Midwestern and then, lo and behold he became a Miami fan. This isn't so much an indictment on him as on all bandwagon fans. All I see in Detroit are Heat fans, and that bum was our rival in Cleveland!

Allrighty. Im sorry. I thought you were calling me out on my other fandoms. My bad.

 

[gkIrish]

Don't think Chalmers will play as well and Green/Neal should play better. Ginobili and Dwade are both done. I think it will be a close game with the Heat unfortunately winning.

I think everyone can agree that Bosh is well worth the hate though, right?

You talking about me?
