NBA FINALS 2012 OPO

lmao I wish I were smarter sometimes but then again fuck life

fear the beard

guys
a mediocre coach is gonna win the title this year and make people think he is good

yep. I hope it's okc's mediocre coach not miami's one.

btw I decided not to do the poll based on number of games bc fuck any1 who luckily predicts the number of games require to win a series

mickey arison is a motherfucker with some dark secrets

if the okc thunder prevail, they will have dispatched the mavs, lakers, spurs, and heat

aka the franchises that have won 11 of the last 13 titles

i really have no idea how this series is gonna go. if bosh is healthy and plays anywhere near the way he played today i think it's a pretty even series

we should use this as the finals thread btw, other one getting huge

yeah bosh changes everything

if the okc thunder prevail, they will have dispatched the mavs, lakers, spurs, and heat

aka the franchises that have won 11 of the last 13 titles

Wow. That's like the plot of a Tarantino flick about basketball assassinations.

nah, outside of Garnett, celtics had no bigs for defense
ibaka and park are p formidable, collison is dece too
obv if he is hitting threes tho that's a different matter

xp haha after the credits roll, you just see them shoot the pistons and the celtics on their way home for no reason

Collison will play better defense on Bosh than Ibaka or Perkins will, imo.

yeah agreed. question is whether scotty will put him out there

this series is gonna be floptastic, btw.

want both teams to die so badly, just might not watch this year

Just a casual fan. I'll be rooting for Oklahoma City. I wanted a Spurs/Heat final, because I admire Duncan and wanted a real team to beat the checkbook one, but Oklahoma won we over by the end of the series. Love watching Harden.

didnt think u watche hoops, 'menza. nice

the lebron haterade has gotten to the point where I'm rooting for the Heat just to watch people suffer.

lebron = roger clemens

I hope that this series starts a legit rivalry between Durant & James and the Heat & Thunder. We need more rivalries like Celtics/Lakers.

it sucks that the only elite core of the past decade with true longevity was the Spurs

another problem: all the best teams were in the same conference.

I don't hate bron, I just want him to lose, it feels right

they actually go to Stephen A Smith for analysis

Kurt Rambis, NBA's worst head coach ever, ESPN studio analyst

Was he really worse than Tim Floyd? It's kinda scary to think about that level of suck.

stern should make "expert picks"

thunder gonna need to keep moving the ball well, hitting their big men

do you put thabo on bron and kd on wade, or maybe westbrook on wade

who normally plays bron, i can't remember. thabos not all that big iirc

yeah guess its got to be durant

maybe fisher can check him

ibaka?

thunder gonna need to score some points

oh right it is durant, remember when they played twice in like a week and durant fid a good job good effort on him

thabos listed at 6-7, v v long arms iirc

speaking of whom you know who looks like a genius now is good job good effort kid

we should all apologize to him

thabos listed at 6-7, v v long arms iirc

also I want lebron to stop mean mugging it feels wrong

the ludicrous people in ESPN.com's comments talking about how classless LeBron is when compared to KOBE BRYANT and MICHAEL JORDAN are cracking me the fuck up

"It's about damn time" was a pretty cocky thing to say, in terms of dumb things said moments after a championship it's probably somewhere in the top 500, I guess

"not one, not two, not three, not four,..."

prediction: this will be lebron's one and only ring :D

cubes layin it down

"why do you run a zone, skip"

"uhhhh uhhhhh"

<3 cubes

Enjoyed that.

Could only make it 1:01 through that fantastic video; once Cuban puts "You have the presumption that people care what you say" on the table, I get too cringey to continue watching.

SKip is a douchehat.

i don't think that's skip's actual twitter tbf. he is a douchehat tho

oh i guess it is, there's a fake one with a v similar name

Skip Sayless

cubes : )

i like how quiet stephen a. is there, prob enjoyed laying back while somebody worked skip over

Im a huge fan of Mark Cuba now
Lawsonrickey12 11 minutes ago

well bron, that's 1, just seven left to go

i do feel kind of happy for him though, he legit earned by beating a variety of very very good teams (and lol knicks) played about the best couple of weeks of basketball particularly from game 6 v boston on that i've seen since mj

battier with a heat ring and a duke championship is still super gross though and im not looking forward to a zillion more d wade commercials next fall

yeah, his post game was dazzling. he def shut me up this series.

xp

durant's hug with momma durant was v touching and i think he's going to be a monster next year

THE HEAT, BITCH

alright that's about all i have for today

well here's mike miller hitting seven three pointers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq8JClcZAFM

cuban obviously knows a lot more about basketball than skip but he could work on his debating some

"ice" cubes u r cold

Eddie Curry has more rings than Charles Barkley… He must feel just turrible

j0rdan, did not see my stern warning to am0n?
this is a "bitch"-free zone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sjHv2eIlJY

hadn't thought about it but juwan howard is the first fab fiver with a ring.

it's pretty silly of Cuban to argue that LeBron didn't post up way more this season.

really Skip's main point is totally right, LeBron decided to post up more this season and quit taking so many deep jumpers and he reaped the benefits in the post-season.

lol

first take is produced by the ghost of mohammed atta

I was out on a 15 mile hike yesterday, so I missed the game entirely. Given the result and the lack of closeness, I am not the least bit sad I was hiking instead. Next stop, the draft.

mark cuban so fucking otm

complaining about sports journalism is really aiming at some high hanging fruit, huh

so perk had a partially torn groin muscle for the final three rounds - should we cut him a break???

Bosh has been waiting over 500million years for this.

hey i beat the post to that joke by like three hours

probably not a point in my favor

http://www.nba.com/2012/news/features/john_schuhmann/06/22/finals-stats/index.html

When Dwyane Wade was on the floor without James, the Heat scored a paltry 93 points per 100 possessions and were outscored by 34 points in 108 minutes. Wade shot just 26-for-71 (37 percent) in the playoffs with James on the bench and 171-for-355 (48 percent) with James on the floor.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGY6UamVRSU

at the heat celebration, the tv announcer, while interviewing haslem, celebrated "the greatest flagrant foul in miami heat history, baby"

also the radio announcer said "if you ever need protection, call dexter pittman!"
