Lebron's lucky Chris Bosh went beast mode.

I've never seen a team with more speed than OKC - their speed is amazing.

I have just became a Lebron fan again. I was rooting against him all season and every series in the playoffs but couldn't help but laugh when Lebron would just make people look like fools in the open court.

Wish he would have stayed in Cleveland but I just can't keep on hating on a guy who is that ****ing good.

I was a LeBron fan back when he was in high school. I still have two of his high school games on VHS tapes somewhere. I was stoked when he was drafted by Cleveland (I live in WV) and would take road trips five or ten times a year just so I could watch him play live.

I hated his guts when he left Cleveland but I just can't hate on the dude anymore. I like watching him play.

I never really had a favorite NBA team. I used to like the Nuggets when I was a kid but after they got rid of guys like Mutumbo, Antonio McDyess, Jalen Rose, and Laphonso Ellis I stopped watching them.

okcchief · 06-09-2012, 11:58 PM

I watched the doc on his high school team a few months back. The thing that stuck out is when they decided to go to St Vincents one of his team mates actually said we are taking are talents to St Vincent/St Marys. I'm sure these are the same douches that give him such great advice today. I expect that shit from a high school kid, but not from a man. I really think LeBrons only problem is he's never had anyone in his life that he trusts to keep him in line. That's really the big difference between he and KD. KDs mom is a mom and not just a buddy. It does seem like LeBron is beginning to mature a bit, and I wish him the best. Just not this year

Lebron was arguably just as good last year in the ECF.

Not like he hasn't done this before.

He's facing a better team this year in the Finals.

He was OK tonight, but it's not hard to score 30+ when you go the FT line 17 ****ing times.

Bosh going HAM was the real reason the Heat won.

KC_Connection · 06-10-2012, 01:07 AM

LeBron has carried the Heat out of two series deficits over the last few weeks and had one of the most dominant playoff performances of all time in a elimination game on the road just two days ago. He then followed that up by making huge plays down the stretch in a close elimination game tonight.

Without LeBron, the Heat don't even have a chance at this title.

You are being a hater. He went to the line 17 times because the Celtics hacked him every time he got in the paint. It's not like he was getting fouled shooting jumpers, if they didn't foul him he'd have had easy layups.

BIG STORYLINE ENTERING THE NBA FINALS: Heat vs Thunder is the first matchup in the four major sports where neither team's nickname ends with an "s".

Should make for fun commentary for TV weatherpeople

I'm glad the Thunder won't overlook Miami because the media damn sure seems to be. Let's remember they just got Bosh back, and if those 3 are clicking they are difficult for anyone to beat. They had an easier road to the Finals, but they have responded every time everyone counted them out. The past doesn't mean shit. This is a team with a bad taste in their mouth from last year, and plenty of talent. I expect this to be a very competitive exciting series.

There haven't been many times that the MVP has met the MVP runner up in the Finals. This really could end up being like Bird and Magic someday, though these 2 seem to be pretty good friends. Of course that may change a little after one gets the upper hand.

I don't know how I'm going to concentrate on work Tuesday with Finals tickets in hand. Should be an unbelievable atmosphere at the Peake.
