This year's Finals: Good vs. Evil

[KingSpeed]

You guys, you guys. So if Miami wins, that means it was rigged? Please. If the league was rigged, it would be Kobe vs LeBron the last three years. But it's not. The Lakers got swept in the first round. The reason teams like Port, Minn, Indy may never win anything is because they have a victim complex and believe it is rigged so they and their fan bases want to avoid the team during playoff positioning or give-up altogether. Dallas didn't do that. They didn't whine after "perceived" slight by the refs. They just ran back on defense and played hard, never giving into the "we don't have a chance" mentality that people like Andre Miller and maxiep have.

And that is why I'm rooting for the Mavs.

KingSpeed, psychologist. Why don't you just admit you don't know what the fuck you are talking about and leave it at that?

 

[Nikolokolus]

Miami has fans? News to me. Bandwaggoning morons who care more about how cool their store-bought jersey looks on them is more like it.

I just wanted to take a moment to tell you that your homemade jersey iz teh ghey.

Lets go Mavs!

Look, there have been some decent guys who played for the Lakers. They were OK before they joined the Lakers and maybe OK after they left, but while there they were poison. Same with the decent guys who play for the Heat. Nothing personal against Bibby et al.

Or as the Godfather said, it's business, not personal.

There are Dallas players I really dislike (Jason Kidd, DeShawn Stevenson) but I dislike them for who they are and what they've done. I think Mark Cuban is obnoxious, joining the team on the bench and acting like people go to games to see him and insisting his money makes him smarter than the rest of us. I dislike him for who he is.

Lakers I dislike because they are Lakers. The Heat have joined that category. I am eternally grateful that Dallas knocked out the Lakers so we don't have to watch the sports media all but masturbate in public over a Heat/Lakers finals. And that's enough reason to cheer for Dallas.

meh at this point im just happy the lakers and okc are out of it, now id like both to lose, oooh or how about...

heat win the finals, but lebron is injured for all the wins, gets a ring, but doesnt deserve it. one can dream...

Just so we are clear every time someone says these 3 clowns took a pay cut to play together in Miami and didn't cash in on more money with other teams..... FYI!! They don't pay income tax in Florida! Think about the savings... One might think they broke even and still got what they wanted!

That should be made into a tshirt!

If two Southern Fascist teams had to make the Finals, I'm just glad that one of them isn't Satan's team, Oklahoma City. Stern must be crying in the spa with Bennett, rubbing his eyes with their mutual towel. Satan Stern stole the Sonics and his fork-tailed protege Stuie Jackson ruined the Vancouver Grizzlies. What depths of evil can Man reach? Only the Shadow knows.

Above their deep darkness in the Sun romps the happy, childlike Mark Cuban. An agent of Fidel Castro, Cuban is a rosy-cheeked epitome of the pleasingly plump cherub we all want to cheer.

 

[crandc]

Cuban a cherub? That's really a stretch. Even more than an agent of Castro.

Besides, there are no Jewish cherubs.

If anything, Miami is the team we should've been 2 years ago. Or maybe next year.

But alas, these next 10 years will be dark times for the NBA.

One almost wishes that the players union and NBA never resolve their issue and that Lebron wins 10 rings so that the NBA becomes bankrupt and we loyal fans, we true fans, will never have to deal with heartbreak and hopelessness ever again. Unless you're Mixum. In which case, you're always going to be heartbroken and hopeless. And probably homeless and a drunkard. But unbanned and free to roam. Mixum, the truest free one of us all. How sad is that?

I don't know what this means? ... Two years ago we were just getting done being bounced by the Rockets and had just whiffed on Hedo Tukoglu. I don't see the parallel.

"Should have been" = no injuries to Roy and Oden. I'm assuming that's what he means. A fully healthy Roy, Oden and Aldridge, with Miller and Batum (to say nothing of Matthews and Wallace who were added later and could have been even with a health Roy and Oden) would be pretty spectacular.
