Join the "Heat Haters" club now!

Wade is a great player and so is LBJ but OKC will win the finals and Iput my money on it.

Yeah I got a nice vacation riding on OKC myself!

What should be real scary is that the Thunder did well down the stretch with him on the bench.

I hate when people say this.  Not to single you out, just something that I saw you put and I just want to vent on.  I've been hearing a lot the past couple of days that "OMG the Heat should be so scared because neither James Harden nor Serge Ibaka really had terrific games."  You do understand that you can only put five people on the floor, right?  Derek Fisher was hot (and has been for awhile) so he gets minutes, Thabo Sefalosha is their best perimeter defender so he has to play, of course Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant will get their minutes and Ibaka won't get too many minutes over Kendrick Perkins because they need Perkins for Chris Bosh (which just goes to show, by the way, what a joke defensive awards are; because technically, if you go by that, Ibaka was better than Perkins - and that's something we all know is not the case).

Sure those guys weren't "great" but it's not like there's a ton of minutes to give out to these guys where you can have like sevne or eight players play great games.

Also, by the way, that's such a terrific problem for the Thunder to have; to have that many options and looks to throw at the Heat.

GO21 you won the lottery now STFU, I feel you.  You fools better sign Eric Gordon.

GO21 you won the lottery now STFU,

You have sixteen championships!  You shut up!

Why you guys wait to sign Drew Brees?  Stop hating on LA?  You want a T-Shirt/ LA Kings!

I'm not hating on Los Angeles at all!  I'm still all about some Chris Paul (most of the time) and I actually pulled for the Lakers to beat the Thunder.  And if the Chargers were to ever move there (I prefer them to stay in San Diego), I'd become a Los Angeles fan so it is what it is.

Flauge I'll buy your ass a drink if and when the Heat win the Chip.  Good luck and best wishes.  Do you want a LA Kings T-Shirts?

not into hockey.   but congrats on your team winning the title.

i drink rum and cokes.  i will have one on you tonight.  im not giving up on miami because of a game 1 loss.   (Spoiler Alert) I also wont be giving up them if the lose tonight either.  

Heat in 7... only thing that could happen to change my mind tonight would be injuries/suspensions.   Any chance we can get Durant to fight pittman?

I'll have a Rum/Coke for you but where is your boy BKS?  If the heat win tonight they steal HC.  It should be a good game, good luck and have fun talking Sh@t. 

By the way, I'm not a Saints fan (I do kind of adopt them as a second team of sorts) but I have no idea what the hell the hold up is with the Saints and Drew Brees.  I know he's asking for a real steep price but it's arguable that nobody means more to their organization than Brees and the Saints really are taking for the granted the idea that "oh, well, he'll be there regardless."  I don't know that to be the case.  Brees orginally went to the Saints because they offered him the most guaranteed money (you can look it up and it's a point that I always want to bring up everytime someone annoyingly states that the Chargers just threw Brees to the gutter after his injury) so they're gonna have to pony up to keep him. 

But especially with all that's going on, the idea that they wouldn't pay him is confusing.  Then again, it's not my money.

G021 what the hell else does NO have?  Recognize.  C'mon now.  I have kin-folks that talk shit**** about not winning anything.

Well I'm from the area (a town called Ponchatoula to be exact) but I live in San Antonio now.  The city's had much better luck with sports since I left but, in my time, the only local team was the Saints.  I just never really fell in love with them like everyone else so that's why I cheer for the Chargers (and because Junior Seau was my favorite player as a child; a big reason why I became a Charlotte Hornets fan because Muggsy Bogues was my favorite player).  So I just stuck with my teams and the fact that I've bounced around a lot has helped me because my teams are all wide open too.

"but I live in San Antonio now."


you have MY condolences...











CL67 

you have MY condolences...

I don't know what the big backlash is against San Antonio.  I think it's a terrific city.  Then again, I'm from New Orleans so I kind of like the big city with a small city feel (New Orleans, by the way, is my favorite place on Earth.  I want to settle down there once I finish with school and all that).  I know there are some big women here (and I love making that joke too) but it's a beautiful city with a lot of beautiful women.  It's not a real party town (except for a few occasions) but it's got a lot going on for it.

"I don't know what the big backlash is against San Antonio."


i didn't think so when I was there. but hey, maybe you just like bats better than i do...

DID get to go to the Hemisfair(SP?) Arena before they shut it down, though...

Yeah my dad always lived here and he took me to a a couple Spurs game at Hemisfair before it closed.  I loved it down there and it's still crazy to go down to Hemisfair park now and see that there's nothing there; where an arena once was.  I liked going to games at the Hemisfair Arena and the Alamodome much better than I do going to the AT&T Center.  The AT&T Center is OK but it's in a random ass part of town and there's nothing to do around the area unless you want to deal with the city's eastside or look at beautiful.... industrial San Antonio?  Then again, even I know the Alamodome was just not a basketball arena so they had to move.  But I enjoyed the games there and in Hemisfair much more.

course, now that i think back on it, NO was a weird place to visit. the women were friendly, though. in fact maybe TOO friendly...

Well you have to take into account that a lot of them are probably just drunk tourits.  I haven't officially checked any numbers as of late, but I know the population was only about 450,000 before Katrina and it's only been up to about 300,000 or so since then.

yeah, i was down there after Katrina in November. that place, Biloxi, and Waveland were a HUGE mess. but i was referring to my first visit there...


funny part was i never thought i'd be back that way again 'til that happened...

I was there also and helped cleaned that place up, and I felt proud.   Good looking out Chief.

BK hasnt been posting much on days off.  He seems to come on a little before games.   He is in internet silence mode with jefe

BKS where are you?

I have a job. I don't have time to be on here during the day.....In addition to that I've grown tired of CBS outside of the Heat and Soccer boards. Glad to see you missed me.

I have a job.

Other people on this thread say that but they seem to be able to be on here 24/7.

LMAO, so what're you saying, MM...?

guess you've never heard of a Blackberry or laptops...










CL67

I've heard of them, but I also know your concentration isn't the same when you take breaks all the time.

"I was there also and helped cleaned that place up, and I felt proud.   Good looking out Chief."


yeah, i was out there helping the kids. it was a worthwhile trip. some of the stuff i saw down there i'll NEVER forget...


btw, FEMA was for NOTHING for those poor people....

Yeah I returned to New Orleans about three months after the storm as well.  And it was sad but seeing Biloxi devastated me.  It was nothing but sand at that point.  It was really tough. 

Just came back from visiting New Orleans last week, though (I still got tons of family there) and it's amazing to enjoy the city and know that it was underground.  People can say what they want to about the city but the pride and spirit there is second to none.

Alright well it's been good folks but I'm actually missing the game because I have to work all night.

So if you don't hear from me until then..........

...... go LeBron James!  I'm out!
