THE DECISION... HAS BEEN MADE

[A.E.]

never forget!

ha ha ha
Now that's what I call going pro...

[Akonyl]

never forget!

oh god

this is amazing.

[dilbertschalter]

for those of you who don't know the context (though it is not too hard to guess): the fine fellow rolling on the ground there was brushed lightly by his opponent, who already had a yellow card. he promptly rolled over clutching his face... and did the peek-a-boo shown here to see if the guy who brushed him had gotten sent off!

Heat taking the championship, hype.

I think they lost because you keep overusing "hype".

Oh well, I don't think anyone in their right mind in the beginning of the season ,or the beginning of the playoffs, would imagine Dallas winning.

Miami will still be making many finals appearances in the near future, and address the issues in their rosters.  They really need shooters, because LBJ and Wade aren't great jumpshooters, and it was pretty evident when they kept chucking shots because Dallas just played zone and clogged the paint.

Also, Mario Chalmers needs to stop acting like a moron - always trash talking to the point where he doesn't play D and doing some pretty bad decision making.

Spurs in 2012 with the lockout season.  Big 3 gonna be fresh, must get rid of Richard the Dick Jefferson, trade Dejuan Blair, develop Neal and Splitter, get my boy Singler from Duke.

Spurs in 2012 with the lockout season.

Maybe in the Sunnyside Retirement Community league.

The Heat beat themselves so often in this series--really just didn't deserve to win. As I was telling Crawla, the Heat really couldn't win even if they did win.

If they had won: everyone would be questioning if the three could have won championships independently. Immediately, the discussion would go in two directions. Firstly: "Should the league allow star players to come together? Does it make the game less exciting?" and, of course: "But can they do it two years in a row? What about three?" No matter how many times they won, it'd be about how many they didn't.

If they had lost (oh hey, they did): everyone questions whether it was worth it for the three to come together, whether it was a mistake, and whether they can ever win a championship. "Was this their only shot", etc.

Maybe over the summer they'll figure out what caused them to blow themselves up in the fourth quarter so often.

Hmm I still have faith (well, "faith" isn't really the right word) that Miami will be making future finals appearances.  Especially if the Dwight Howard trade rumors are true, making the East even weaker.  Celtics are getting old, and the Bulls are truly a one man show (Boozer is a loser )  I think they will still win multiple championships in the future (unfortunately..)

Yo Jd-, never count out the Spurs, that's the number one rule in the NBA! Has been for the past decade!  I expect some major trading to make the Spurs be contenders once again...and hopefully we can avoid those nasty Grizzlies...matchup nightmare to its fullest.  I have the upmost confidence that our FO will do everything it can to make them better - as far as im concerned, everyone is expendable besides Ginobili and Duncan (simply because he is the face of the franchise).  I dunno whether the Spurs are going to trade  up for the draft to get talent, or get rid of Tony Parker, Hill, Blair, Bonner, RJ, Mcdysse.

Don't count them out Jd-, don't count them out!

Even if Lakers get DHo (but I still hope Boston get him though), the biggest hurdle that the Heat WOULD probably face is another East Big3 in the making (NY Version), Amare-Melo-CP3???.

The Bulls will surely push for a trade for a Shooting Guard with Boozer as the trade bait though he is too expensive for his skill set.

Hope the C's aging veterans sign for the Vet.Min. for the C's after the end of their contract and be reliable back ups at the tail end of their career. Doc wouldn't sign for a quite long extension if Ainge hadn't laid down quite a good future plan. Unless he is serious about Jeff Green being the future of the C's together with Rondo and probably another promising star.

And for Miami, LBJ has to check his ego first and get back to practice, improve his post up moves and pull up jumpers instead of tweeting over and over. Wade will be fine as long as he takes care of his health. And Bosh will be Bosh but he must improve his flopping job to sell more next season! Lolz.

Move over Lebron!

THIS IS THE DECISION!!!

The Heat is in big trouble after the super ultra signing of.. JEREMY LIN!! Str8 out of Harvard!!!!



It's going to make me sad that I'm leaving the bay area so I won't be able to watch this guy...He's actually my friend's brother so it's freaking awesome!!

YO PEOPLE,  I JUST WANT TO REMIND ALL THE NBA FANS OUT THERE, THAT MY BOY JEREMY LIN IS OWNING IT UP IN NYC

SO MUCH PRIDE AND LOVE RIGHT NOW!!

IM POSSIBLY GIVING STALKER INFORMATION OUT, BUT HIGH SCHOOL PRIDE RIGHT HERE!
He's worked so hard for this, going through Harvard without an academic scholarship, bouncing from summer leagues undrafted, being waived by Warriors and Rockets, and now, SHOWING HIS TRUE POTENTIAL IN NY!!!!!

I also have a nationality pride flowing in me, as I have the Taiwanese/Asian-American blood as well.  This his history in the making, the first Asian-American in the NBA...mark my words, this will change Asian-American culture forever from the stereotypes of obsession of grades and test scores and the one-minded driven goal of becoming successful through fields such as medicine and science.  So many walls being broken right now..

Much love to his family and my bud Joseph.

I learned never to talk shit about D-Fish. .4 will happen to you.

Linsanity comin to the all star game, dayum.  Shaq's team with Lin, RR, and Blake Griffin...holy cow.  I love how they are spicing up the all star game with that draft!  I can't wait until they change the actual all star game in the future.

Also, Charles got my spurs, Kwahi and Tiago.  Bout to own.

[dilbertschalter]

literally 9 turnovers.

[ranger]

^
Yup, he's averaging I think 6 turnovers game since he started.

Once again, the Spurs quietly killin with a 9 game win streak. (Championship be ours)

[kei]

"Lin set an NBA record for turnovers with 45 in his first four starts. Lin's mark is the highest since the league began keeping individual stats in 1977-78. He broke Glenn Robinson's record of 38 turnovers."

Even though the TO are a problem, he's still young.

@ranger: And don't forget that Manu is back!
