(1) The Heat aren't winning this. That is an understandable internal defense mechanism to avoid disappointment if you predict OKC takes it. But its OKC in 5. 6 tops. The Heat can't answer that. Not because they are soft or uncluth or whatever, but because they aren't good enough. OKC is a class above them this year, and matches up perfectly.
(2) Following that theme, the Bulls would have drubbed the Heat as well. But I don't think we could have done anything with OKC. They're better and match up with us well. Basically, they are a better version of the Bulls. Its scary. But I'm okay with it because . . . .
(3) . . . . everything about them is likeable. Why is Westbrook a dick? Because he's passionate on the court? Outside of that, I see nothing. There's nothing not to like about that team other than their embarrassment of riches. All of their players are likeable, they play great defense, they play with effort, they aren't exactly the 2002 Kings, but they share the ball, they have a classy coach, a premiere GM who isn't arrogant about it, etc. And they have Thabo. What's not to like about a team that has Thabo?
(4) On the other hand, what's with this "I don't hate the Heat" or "I'm over hating the Heat" or "The Heat aren't scary enough to hate anymore" flibbidy-floo? Man up and embrace your pettiness. You don't let your hatred fade just because they aren't as threatening anymore. You revel in it. The point of the hatred is to see them fade away with nothing. If they start to slip in the East over the years to the point that they are fighting for a playoff spot, you root for them to lose every game. Even when the Thupafwendth scatter to the four corners of the NBA, I'll hate the Heat franchise. The taint is permanent. And I'll hate whatever teams these clowns end up on when they do eventually leave (unless its the Bulls, hypocrisy be damned).
LeBron James took a crap on his home state on NATIONAL TELEVISION. It is the douchiest non-criminal thing a professional athlete has ever done. Not to mention the 30 other things he's done since then that we know all too well, so I won't bother mentioning.
Dwyane Wade? Its hard to believe, but he's become an even bigger tool than LeBron. Dirk, sniff, Dirk, loyalty, my grandmama gave me that chain, the world is a better place because the Heat lost (which is true, of course), etc. Every time I see him smile I want to smack in him in the teeth with a lead pipe.
And Bosh isn't bad if you like guys who tweet about waffles, want to chill, and get upset about opponents who dive for loose balls near their legs.
I hope Miami never wins another game of basketball for the rest of eternity, the franchise moves to Boise, the American Airlines arena and all Heat merchandise within it deteriorates and crumbles to the ground, and then biodegrades into the atmosphere so we can all breathe it in and fart it out.
Can we sticky this post? I don't want to look for it when I need it again, this is awesome!
This is the post of the year, I can't recall reading anything better than this here!
IMO And for me personally...
I'll never get over the fact of how that team moved to OKC. That was the one of the most shadiest and saddest of things I've ever seen. A great sports and basketball City like Seattle Stripped of its beloved Supersonics..
Seattle is my 2nd Fav City to Chicago and their teams are my second fav in all sports(Seahawks, Mariners, and the Late Sonics)
That will ALWAYS leave a sour taste in my mouth and I will never come to root for the Thunder..
I'll never root for the Heat either for their play, antics, and rivarly with us going back all the way to the 90's so this year's Finals is absolutely miserable and terrible for me personally.
It's a loss-loss series for me no matter who wins..
I probably won't even watch any of the games including tonights or at least not watch all 48 minutes of them..
It's all about the Olympics for me next month, those will be my "finals" for this year..
