I am rooting for the heat...the Constant talk about Lebron not being clutch because he hasn't won a title has worn on me...I definitley wouldn't mind seeing the 7 foot german raise that trophy though! He is underrated!
 
Looks like it'll be a good series. I'm just glad Miami took care of Chicago. I hope it goes the full 7 games. It doesn't matter to me who wins, although I can imagine the media storm if Miami wins.
 
I just want to see some of the media people who basically said to Lebron, "You are crap" eat their words. I get the guy didn't do it the right way but to some degree this is a little ridiculous.

Not really. If they don't win, they're a huge failure. Three huge stars colluded together to make it easy. Yeah, will really make them eat their words.

Looking forward to this series. I'll take Miami in six. Largely because of DWade. Prince and Dirk have been great in these playoffs but still can't trust them in The Finals until they prove they can handle the stage. Prince was awful in The Finals against the Spurs and we all know about Dirk's gag job in the 06 Finals. Should be a good series though.

Colluded? It's an open market, they went where the best opportunity for them to be successful was...they aren't criminals...

Name one good player on that cavs team other than the Akron hammer?
 
none of those guys are quality second tier players man...that's a fact...That team was all King James against, In my opinion, one of the greatest defensive teams in NBA history.
PS. that was also before James really had a Jumpshot and was a threat from the 3 point range.

Last night what happened was that the role players of the Mavs weren't the same shooters on the road as they were at home.

Brian Cardinal? Really Brian Cardinal? Wow, Peja has played bad but I didn't think he had played, "Lets put in Brian Cardinal." bad.

Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Larry Hughes, Boobie Gibson, Anderson Varejao, Drew Gooden. There are five. If I remember correctly Sasha Pavlovic (might be spelled wrong) had a good playoffs that season.

Hughes averaged 11 points a game that post season. Also shot a truly great 31.9 percentage from the field.
Big Z 10 ppg
Gibson 4.2
Varejao 6.8
Gooden 8.2

So please tell me how ANY of those guys is a legitimate number 2 option on ANY team?

Never said they were a #2 option. You said that he didn't have any good players on his team that year. Those five are/were good NBA players. If I remember correctly that was the year Larry Hughes was in and out of practice due to the death of his brother. You might want to check your stats out as well. Big Z averaged 12.6 ppg and 9.7 rpg in those playoffs, Boobie Gibson had 8.3 and shot 41% from downtown, Gooden 11.4 ppg and 8 rpg. Andy Varejao play isn't measured by how many points he scores even though 6 ppg in about 20 minutes a night isn't bad for a guy with his style of play.

My bad was looking at the wrong year in Playoffs for several players but as I asked after your first comment tell me one good second option that team had, 0. in fact I would go as far to say that was the least talented team in NBA finals HISTORY.
On the comment of D-wade being the best player in the series...He is having a great night but even on an off night for Lebron he is 8-12 with 20 points and constantly makes passes that wow anyone...also he is the best defender on the floor...
Lebron is the best player on the planet, period.
