Is it wrong that I find myself starting to root for the Heat?

No sir, do what feels right for you.

For many people, they are indifferent on the Heat now.

The enemy of our enemy is our friend. Embrace OKC.

Besides, they win the personality contest too.

I think Westbrook is just as big a dick as any of the big 3 which had me rooting for Miami tonight. It will probably change once the series moves to Miami.

On the court no doubt he comes off as an ass. In interviews though he does not. Whereas Wade/James come off as disingenuous, condescending, arrogant asses, oh and they are whiny on the court too. I

That's because the entire world hates their team. If that was the case for OKC you damn strait Westbrook would be the same way.

That sounds backwards - people don't like the Heat because they are whiny and arrogant. The arrogance and ego came before the not liking.

If Westbrook was as bad as those guys, he'd probably be as disliked.

i believe WinCity was referring to the post-game interviews last year in which case the three douches acted douchy because of all the hate they got from the media last season. Kobe is the same way, he just has rings to back it up.

I hate having to defend these chumps because i hate them but the truth is that show wasn't meant for the rest of the country. I blame Riles for signing off on that decision.

Also to follow up on Hinrich_Polices comments in the other thread. I agree. A big reason i hate Miami is because they were so threatening for the league. With OKC as the great equalizer around to keep them in check, Miami isn't so threatening anymore.

I am not arguing the three douches aren't, douches. I am saying Westbrook is a dick and i cannot root for the guy either.

Yes. Very wrong.

The Thunder are a young, talented team built the right way with a huge fan following in a small market.

Miami is a group of insufferable, entitled douchebags that got together and hatched a mastermind plan of living on the beach, partying, and fake boxing their way to title after easy title.

LeBron James refers to himself in 3rd person at times.

He also calls himself King James. His twitter handle is @KingJames. He does not have any rings. The longer this goes on the funnier it gets.

There is no reason anyone except Miami fans should be rooting for the Heat. If you do, I will go so far as to question not only your Bulls fandom, but your moral makeup as well. ****. The. Heat.

Always. Forever.

and you with Lebron?

SpeedyWindRose · Post #18 » by **SpeedyWindRose** » Wed Jun 13, 2012 7:08 am

Westbrook acts like a dick... but LeBron is a legendary douchebag right down to his core.

Wade:
- coasts
- treats refs like garbage
- falls. every. single. time.
- burned us in FA

James:
- calls himself a king
- chokes in big moments
- treats ballboys like crap
- has an unbelievable sense of entitlement

------------------

Westbrook:
- yells after a big dunk
- ???

Durant:
- ....wears.... glasses without the glass?

King James, like...the worst nick name ever.

I'm going to get back to my pathetic life tomorrow, but for tonight I'm enjoying the cr*p out of that game.

Just to add, and people should root for whoever they want, the Thunder didn't tamper or try to run the league, and unlike Boston and the Lakers they didn't have a bend another team over trade. In fact, they were the bendee pretty much in giving the Celtics Ray Allen.

I'll also add, can we wait until OKC wins more than one finals game before we declare a dynasty?

Well said.

IMO you can toss out everything else, I dont but you can if you chose, and just focus on 2 things: Wade trashing the Bulls to the media and the jerking around of not only the Bulls but a half dozen or so franchises in summer 2010 just to satisfy their own need to be fawned over, and those are more than enough to hold the hate in your heart.
