Beating Bos in Bos, gm 7 like we did last year would be EPIC.....if they that I'll NEVER critize their "switch" mentality again lol, as for the heat I'm indifferent, I dont really hate or like their players I was more annoyed with their bandwagoning fans coming to our forum boasting and telling us to enjoy our reign while it lasts, thats the only part I'll enjoy throwing back at their face if this team threepeats.

I don't hate the Heat at all. I'd rather watch the Celtics blow ass forever.

Either one is fine by me. But the win-win situation would be boston eliminating the heat, only to lose to us in the finals.

there would be nothing more satisfying than beating the celtics in the finals again and tying them at 17 titles.

Really if we are talking dynasty threats. If Duncan wins 5 he will dethrone Kobe as best player of his generation. If Shaq wins 5 this may also happen. If Boston wins then they will be 2 up on them.

Dude if we won in 2008 we would have 17 and they would have 16. We have to win this year and catch Boston. I'm not threatened by the media machine Heat or Bulls. If not us, I would root for Chitown or Dallas.

pretty sure if the spurs won a championship this year, not a whole lotta credit would go to duncan. most people seem to agree he's fallen out of elite status. their really doing it this year with a team game, and great coaching. manu and parker have been more instrumental to the spurs winning this year imo.

another championship would not change many people's opinion on kobe vs. duncan.

I know how you feel..I think only beating the Celtics ten times would erase the memories of 2008 and that will never happen.

I think the same goes with Shaq imo. He helps the Celtics less than Duncan does the Spurs because all Shaq is good for is being a giant fat body inside.

Nothing is more satisfying to me than ripping the hearts out of Celtic fans by beating them.

I'm still enjoying their sweet tears and complaints about reffing. If we have to face someone in the Finals, I'd want it to be Boston. Beat them, tie them.

The seemingly non-stop losses to Lebrons teams (Cle and now cHeat) pisses me off everytime, but they're simply season games. The Celtics on the other hand, is a different story. I can never forget the humiliation we took in 08 and their pathetic fans calling us fakers. I would LOVE to beat the Celtics in their own building, game 7, after we came back from a 30-point deficit and beat them by a point! :D I will have a smile on my face for the next 6 months if that happens.

We just beat the C's last year and while I certainly would love to do that again, I really can't stand how cocky Bron and the Heat are. The off season celebration b4 they played a game was disgusting and I really would love to give the Heat a beat down in the finals. Of course losing in the Finals to the Heat might be the worst thing ever.

I think just about everyone outside of Miami would love to see the Heat get beat down in the playoffs for the nonsense that went on this past off-season. It would definitely suck losing to them in the Finals though, but not as much as losing to the Celtics IMO.

Still, the sweetest victory HAS to be beating the Celtics in the Finals.

it would be more humiliating to them if they lost in the 1st/2nd rd in the playoffs if they made it to the finals win or lose they have something to build from and say look we got here and its our 1st year together.....so seeing Bos again isn't that bad deal at all, its 2 birds with 1 stone deal, Beat Bos destroy their faith all the meanwhile Mia will have to answer to the media bout their proclomation of not 1 not 2 not 3....etc crap :lol:
