Spurs needed to be up late to put pressure on miami. letting lebron shoot with the lead is way different then letting him shoot from behind or tied.

only reason there was drama this post season is due to the heat not living up to their talent level. They accomplished the main goal but will not be seen as an all time great squad.

hats off to them. Now for me Im going to forget this season this weekend by locking myself inside and playing the crap out of The Last of us. So to my family, GF and realGM'ers STFU and GTFO.

Ill be back for the draft doh

For all we bag on Lebron, yeah hes got all the talent, but you can see his passion, love, and will to win for the game.

I just don't see that in Rose anymore

I mean all you did was abandon your original team and join forces with a future hall of famer and another all star big man. Yeah, you really earned it.

and did it at the last possible time as the league brick walled any other attempt at doing so by another team due to the cba garbage

yeah he really deserves it when the deck is literally stacked for him

If this is killing us as fans, I hope this is killing Rose even more.

If not there is something terribly wrong with that man.

Agreed. Do we really need something corny like that to ease the pain? Talk is cheap.

Seriously, the "I ain't got no worries" was very reminiscent of "at the end of the day, they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today." This guy will take any chance to rub his decision in the face of everybody

They are absolutely beatable. Bulls are a move or two from being the team to do it too. So are Indiana and OKC too.

This might be Duncan's last shot at a championship.

Ginobli had 0 turnovers in 3 quarters. He had 4 in the 4th quarter.

Damn way to make me all depressed

That Rose point was like a stab in the heart.

There is death in the afterlife.

I love Pop's but he is just to loyal to Manu the guy killed them all series except one game.

Illuminatos · Post #693 » by **Illuminatos** » Fri Jun 21, 2013 4:07 am

Rose better come back even better next year because my Knicks aren't doing **** in the East next year.

I can't see Miami coming out the East with the Pacers and Bulls waiting for them. Please stop this monster called Miami, Chicago.

I hope some of you know. I've signed every single post I've ever made (except for one or two when I wan't in the clearest state of mind :wink:

) the same way:

One love

After tonight, I will not use this sig until the Heat either miss the playoffs (my ultimate wish) or lose in the playoffs. I don't not have the same faith in the universe right now. I need a long meditation session with JAH to understand this :wink:

As I said before this series started: The Manu vs Wade matchup would decide this series. Maybe it didn't have everything to do with it, but I think a lot of it did. Wade played mediocre and Manu played epically awful. Forced some of the Spurs role players like Danny Green and Gary Neal to play like Superstars and Green did for a few games, but sooner or later, you need your stars to play like stars and Ginobli didn't. Parker played about the same as Wade throughout the series.. Mediocre. Duncan was great, but it wasn't enough.

What I hate most about all of this is how the Heat always have some scrub go off from 3 in just about every game, especially every elimination game. Whether it's Chalmers, Miller, Battier, or all of them, why do they never miss?! Nothing annoys me more than watching guys who otherwise suck, go 6/6 from 3 and win another championship for a team who's about as arrogant as they come.

His face when he missed the bunny against Battier was just painful and you could almost see that he knew this was it. I could see that moment pushing him to strongly consider it but I hope he doesn't

Don't know if you were following the league in 1989 and 1990, but THOSE were a terrible couple of years. The Bad Boys era, watching Isiah win Finals MVP. This is just the cHeat/LeBron era, it'll pass too. It's just their time right now though.
