Heat or Thunder?

[TonK]

I hope the Thunder, but I doubt they have a shot.

 

[Kristian Meller]

I have to vote for the Heat, but I'm not delusional; I know it'll be tough as all hell to beat the Thunder. They're just rolling. I hope they stop rolling.

 

[jsiucho]

Hopefully the Heat, but man those Thunder are really good.

[RAZO]

I'm leaning towards OKC. The only reason is because I think they are a better match up for the Heat. It could go pretty much either way though.

 

[thatdemoguy]

i think the Thunder are just too strong right now. plus Durant is a much better closer than Lebron.

O.

 

[bradtemple87]

Fuck the Heat, it's time for proper teamwork to beat a superstar!

Picked Thunder since round 1

 

[cdamm]

i hope and pray for the thunder. the lebron and his crew can continue going ringless.

 

[bradtemple87]

Yep, Wade already has one so he can wait

why do people not like LeBron James

why do people not like LeBron James

Two words: "The Decision."

Lebron's going to be tough if he can put together another series like he did against Boston but Durant has been showing up in the 4th for the duration of the playoffs and hit every big shot that could have been asked of him.

I don't hate LeBron. I actually think the guy is a solid human being. You never hear anything negative about the guy. I always root against the super star team. I still think one championship in Cleavland would have meant more then 4 championships in Miami.

 

[SonGohan]

I can't wait for basketball to be over with so I can stop having "Thunder up!" flood my news feed.

Dude, it's time to move on from that. It's been nearly two years. LeBron has admitted that he went about it the wrong way, and the Heat organization has said they regret the introduction they made after signing Bosh and LeBron as well. The Decision is NOTHING compared to what other players have done off the court. Including stars such as Kobe Bryant.

I think a lot of the hatred comes from the fact that he's so good it's ridiculous. He can only play for one team so 29 fanbases are going to hate him. Hating LeBron and the Heat is just 'in' right now, and has been for a while. People who refer to The Decision as a reason to hate LeBron need to get their priorities straight.

 

[Taiso]

Fuck Miami, but they are probably going to win it.

Still gonna root for the Thunder.

 

[Arcademan]

Voted Thunder. After running through the West, they can take any Eastern Conference team.

The hate didn't exist before his decision to turn his back on Cleveland and shame them in the process, pissing vitamin water all over their slack faces. Before that, he was a very good player.

A lot of the hate for Lebron comes from the fact that in this country, men don't just like a team because of players. We're more apt to cheer for our home team, and home players. Like Kevin Durant grew up where I live, and Roy Hibbert went to my high school. No one would look weird at me for cheering them on, but I am not a fan of the Thunder or the Pacers. For the most part, Americans have a free pass to hate on every team and its players that aren't local. But the people who root for teams outside the area are mostly wagon riders, unless they can show consistency in support after that great player leaves.

No one liked the Heat during the '90s unless you were from South Florida and even then, it was more likely that people there didn't like the Heat, but followed Atlanta games, since that was the most local team that showed on tv for a long time. They only became big within the past 10 years. Of course, the Thunder even less. But they're a dark horse team, and people can appreciate that more than a stacked team of mercenaries.

 

[Hidden Character]

Definitely for Thunder.

Maybe not exactly hate, but there was an extreme scrutiny about every little thing he did, which just reeks of envy and sour grapes. He was always held to a much higher standard than practically every other pro athlete out there, regarding both his play on the court and his conduct off it. Problem was, he never really did anything bad off the court at all, and then came The Decision, which people have clung to for almost two years now to explain their negative feelings towards him. It just doesn't make any damn sense to keep harping on it. Move on and accept that LeBron is really, really good and that he isn't playing for your team.

They were both shitty turn of the millennium wrestling shows.

 

[Magician]

[Taiso]
