Seriously idk how spurs fans even forgive manu for what he did man. Dude really had more assist to heat players than spurs players. Lebron was biting his finger nails and had tears in his eyes man smh. Shoutbout to judas tho, dude hit a huge shot

Miami beat the west champs twice in a row but wouldn't have made it out the first round in the west? That hater logic right there.

Some of you boys should have somebody proof read the stupid **** ya type.

Won't deny the hate pulsing through my veins. First and foremost you gotta give the champs their props, but... and i hate to open the hypothetical can of worms but do you think if Miami played in the west and went through that side of the bracket they would be back to back champs? 

In addition, and this is based off memory so there may be be stats that state otherwise but I always will feel like lebron is a dominant front runner player. Any time he's been up to comparable competition he isn't the king he so proudly claims himself as. The last championship being evidence of that

It's way too early in the morning for such blatant hate.

 

[Peep Game]

People are far too quick to judge players.. especially that young. You're free to criticize, of course, but people go way overboard and call guys bums or busts or make proclamations like "They'll never be great, an All-Star, top 5 ,etc."

Especially with young guys in bad situations.. give them a little time before you try to close the door on their whole career. People just want to be the first ones to say "He won't be an all-star, he'll be a bust" so they can gloat and say "I told you so". You see it all the time with college guys and rookies..

So any time players struggle people will say "I told you so" but when they end up multiple all-stars, hitting clutch shots, or become franchise players.. they're ghost. That's when you should end up on that Summer Jam screen. Everyone is wrong with predictions from time to time, a guy you think will be a star ends up a fringe starter.. or a guy you're not sold on ends up being a top player.. but when you call a rookie a bust 40 games into his career or just hate on a young guy because he's struggling on a crap team, that needs to be avoided.

I agree with all of this.


Except in regards to Austin Rivers. He sucks and will never be great.

It's way too early in the morning for such blatant hate.

After reading the last two pages, wow, you're right it's nothing but crappy hypotheticals from the "I Hope/I Wish" squad.

Who cares about the Heat and the West.

They gotta beat one west team which they will.

Guys LeBron is in his prime.

Why cant you just realize he's not losing.

They have a really good team.  Let's not get crazy here.

This is the flipside of people who blamed every Cleveland loss on LeBron alone.

Won't deny the hate pulsing through my veins. First and foremost you gotta give the champs their props, but... and i hate to open the hypothetical can of worms but do you think if Miami played in the west and went through that side of the bracket they would be back to back champs? 

In addition, and this is based off memory so there may be be stats that state otherwise but I always will feel like lebron is a dominant front runner player. Any time he's been up to comparable competition he isn't the king he so proudly claims himself as. The last championship being evidence of that

How is him winning another chip after coming up big in games 6&7 aganist one the best franchises in hoop evidence of him not being what he says he is?

Was Kevin Durant and the thunder not comparable competition? That thunder team was the favorite going into that series if I'm not mistaken

Get that hate out your heart my man.

Dudes like him make this thread unbearable at times. They dont even put any logical thought into the **** they post, they just type away because a keyboard is in front of them.

 

[jjs07]

So now the narrative is whether or not the Heat would have been champs had they played in the west? LMAOOOOOO

Unbearable? It's obvious I've got a bias. It's my opinion. No need to take it that serious. I see where you're coming from though with some of the trolls though and how things can get carried away.


Let's carry on though. No excuse for my spurs not to get It this year. However if KD keeps playing like this...

 

[sea manup]

tbh the heat are pretty lucky to have three championships

if wade was born without legs they wouldnt even have any, so all three should have a *

none better.

LeBron ain't worried about the MVP?

We just gonna forget about all the bitter comments he made throughout the season?

Coming up big? In the last 2 minutes of game 6 he had 2 turnovers and TP dropped 5 on him. Spurs choked it. The Heat came up big in game 6. He definitely wasnt a "king" in that game. Even against the thunder, it wasnt the lebron show (which their is nothing wrong with because they won) as again, his team came through throughout the entire series.

Not what I'm saying, nor what I was responding to.
