Thought it was weird you'd openly, positively reference the witness thing. Thought that died when Cavs fans owned it into Quitness.

I'm a natural hater. I wanted to see Celtics and Thunder so LeBron would lose and then I could watch Bostonians wretch when the Thunder trounced them. I respect LeBron as a physical beast that dominates the basketball court, but don't understand how anyone could cheer for him. buuut, we don't have to like the same things, though, so...

Internet mid-five!

i really cannot believe how poorly the thunder played in this series. credit to the heat who just manhandled the thunder in every facet of the game. but still, man, the thunder were so disappointing, especially harden, ibaka, perkins and fisher. the thunder have an appalling lack of depth on that team (or a coach who is scared to death to trust anyone in a big game). they have to find another shooter, maybe a half decent backup small forward and maybe a big man who isnt god awful on offense. and shocked to see the thunder get destroyed on the boards.

happy for battier. i think he made a huge difference in the playoffs.

small market team that does everything perfect in terms of building a team through the draft, gets lucky and lands 2 superstars and 2 great starters in the draft and STILL cant beat the superfriends. what hope does this give to small market teams?

As someone who was desperate for the Heat to win I thought I might chime in.

What happened in Seattle to the Sonics was (literally) a crime. And I hate to see everyone just forget about it. (or more likely, never know about it at all) Cats fans should stand in solidarity with Sonics fans, something similar happened to us not too long ago.

I was more cheering for the Zombie Sonics to lose than for the Heat to win. I definitely would have cheered for the Spurs if they had made it through. Although I think the Lebron hate is wayyyy over the top considering his great crime was basically just a faux pas. Why aren't Andrew Bynum and Karl Malone hated that much? They've done far worse stuff

As much as I hate what happened to the Sonics, I was really hoping Miami never wins a title b/c I think it's BS that all-stars can form their own Superfriends team. Even though OKC was the spawn of Bennet, at least they built their team the more honorable way, through the draft. Screw Miami.

Why is it more honorable to draft players than sign them?
