The 2011 NBA Playoffs: If you want to crown them, then crown their ass!

Of course not, that would be a stupid way to decide a game.

And then he said "It really hurts. I think I'll need a massage when we get home."

 

He's smaller I think. I've seen him in person and he's shorter than me and I'm not that tall.

 

Stored her name in the wank bank.

 

smh @ Jason Terry..he should never be allowed to shoot again..

 

Nearly choked/robbed by refs. I can breath easy for one night and watch ESPN for the first time since Wednesday.

 

If the Heat win the title, I'll never watch ESPN again.

 

Only the people looking for some negative are bringing this up.

Who was the best player in game 1? Who got Miami past the Celtics and the Bulls?

How soon do we forget. Lebron knew that there were going to be games were Wade was going to take over, he has the hot hand. Oh and Lebron 4 assists in the 4th quarter. Two huge ones to Bosh. None of us in Miami gives a rats ass who scores the most. A ring will be a ring if Miami wins it.

 

Wade is a leader. James and Bosh are followers. A ring is a ring.

In my opinion, the Jordan vs LeBron debate is settled and over. Wade is the Jordan to LeBron's Pippen.

 

Yes because Pippen would have burned the Celtics and the Bulls the way Lebron did. Of course.

Jordan went 5/19 against the Sonics but you remember his legendary stuff. It was a close out game. (Game 4 in the 96 finals), but no one can ever have a bad game if you want to be legendary.

Oh and Lebron playing shut down defense through out the playoffs. Yet he is not a leader. They are both leaders. They came together for exactly this, so that they could each be a threat and a weapon.

 

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

 

So you just don't want to discuss? I'll take that as an admission of being wrong.

 

Hey bro. A comparison to Pippen is nothing to sneeze at. The man's a hall of fame player after all. I think that you can't seem to remove your team beer goggles and see things for how they're being perceived everywhere except Miami. Therefore there's nothing to discuss. We have differing opinions. The world would suck if we all agreed on everything, something that some message board posters can't seem to comprehend. Enjoy the finals.

 

Sorry to interrupt the infighting, but I wanted to briefly revisit the issue of Shaq's legacy. The Bulls long-time beat writer, Sam Smith, has an article up on nba.com discussing this and I think he gets it just right...

Hey bro, Lebron is better than Pippen. I think that you can't seem to remove your national media goggles and see things for how they are being perceived by people who don't have an irrational hate for all things Lebron. Therefore there is plenty to discuss, but you seem afraid. We have differing opinions. I would like to agree with you but then we would both be wrong. I will enjoy, thanks.

 

I think that if there is a rap on Pippen that can be transferred to LBJ is that he was not able to win a Championship on his own account..

But not even MJ could do it alone.. Only when the right "supporting cast" was assembled did he achieve two three-peats..

I used to think of this Miami Heat as Wade's team but in this playoffs it has been almost equally LBJ's and Wade's... Wade had a terrible series against Chicago (although he provided the spark on the las quarter of the series).. LBJ has done everything that has been asked of him (passing, defending, rebounding), even if sometimes he seems to happy popping bombs from downtown..

 

You seem to have mistaken me for someone who, like yourself, seems to have a personal stake in how LeBron is portrayed. I don't. I'm a Grizzlies fan. My team just came off our best season in history. I'm just calling it like I see it. You can call me wrong if you like. I'm fine with that. Your negative opinion of me isn't going to ruin my life.

 

The only personal connection I have with Lebron is that he plays for my favorite Basketball team. We are here in a forum, where the main purpose is to discuss, is it not? So I will argue for the player in my team, is that so far fetched and unheard of? But then instead of discussing you bring up an old overused quote from one of the most popular works in English literature, get ready to be called out for not discussing the point but dodging it.

Congratulations on your Memphis Grizzlies, they have been one of my favorite teams this year.
