You realize they were in the finals, right?

No. There's one simple reason. They can't shoot.


Wade can't shoot. Lebron can shoot, but he's a rhythm shooter. Lebrons jumpshot comes with confidence. When Lebron makes plays around the basket he gains confidence, and his jump shot starts falling. When Wade gets the ball in the 4th quarter, Lebron becomes a freaking shooting guard. You have to play to a star's skills. Lebron is an all round player. He needs the ball in his hands and he will make plays happen either for himself or his teammates. Wade is more of an iso player, he's not as good of a passer as lebron and isn't as good of a shooter.

This is a great day, time to get on the bang bus.


Trolling is wrong - but many Forums suffered from Miami trolls all year.

Certainly they must expect to feel the anger when they finally lose

Cleveland owner Dan Gilbert says Lesson Learned. There are NO SHORTCUTS (a poignant statement geared towards LeBron).

its amazing how linked toronto was to this series. developed the marion sign and trade, gave them peja for free, had a trade for chandler fall apart and he then went to dallas (imagine if MJ didnt cockblock us - lebron could be celebrating right now), obviously taking marion from miami and setting them up for free agency, obviously giving them bosh

Bullshyt. We were saying the same thing about Boston when they first came together. I bet many fans upon hearing that Ilgauskas had signed were going "Aww crap they now have a decent center." Then when they got Dampier, "Aww fakin hell they even got Dampier". Then when they got Bibby, "WTF that's just unfair now!". That cast is far from crappy. But I have to agree that they'll be regular visitors to the finals the next few years.

sanity wrote:Wade was the Heat's best player, but Bosh was their second best player in the Finals. Shame that Lescared settled like a pansy bitch again in the 2nd half.

I'm happy for Kidd and Dirk for finally winning and legitimizing their legacies.


Uh, LeBron James scored 11 points in the second which isn't bad. Most of his points were either in the paint following up his teammates' misses, driving lay-ups, and free-throws. How's that for a pansy?
