June 13, 201115 yr Cuban has made a conscious effort not to be the figurehead of this year's postseason run. The 4th quarter was the first time I even saw him and he did not steal the show like many thought he would. I think Cuban feels like his mouthing off may have played a role in how the last series was officiated. I believe that is at least part of the reason he decided to stay quiet during the post-season.
June 13, 201115 yr Heat have already been named favorites for the 2012 title by some Vegas services. They have to be, don't they?
June 13, 201115 yr I feel the same way about your comment, especially about the way Lebron handled his departure of Cleveland and about him being in the class of players that you listed. On a side note, I don't believe that any of those previous teams of Chicago, Los Angeles, or Boston would have collapsed the way that Miami did. Those teams not only had some of the greatest talent, but they also had the will and determination, which is just as important as talent, if not more. I agree, those guys were winners, not whiners.
June 13, 201115 yr Heat have already been named favorites for the 2012 title by some Vegas services. Should be an interesting offseason. Will any team make a push for CP3 or Howard? Could a team like the Thunder use Westbrook as a trade chip for either guy? Will New York be able to bring in another gun to go with Amare and Melo? What happens to the Mavs roster? The one certainty IMO is the Heat roster will look completely different outside of a few guys (LeBron, Wade, Haslem, Miller). Will they dangle Bosh to the rest of the league and see if anyone bites? Will Spolstra still have a job, and if not how long before the Coach Cal to South Beach rumors begin?
June 13, 201115 yr Never been a big Dallas fan, but definitely respect the way they do it. Can't help but feel happy for guys like Dirk, JET, Kidd, Chandler, Marion. Those guys have all paid their dues and deserved this moment. On a somewhat related note, how much money do you guys think Mark Cuban poured into the Miami economy last night in celebration? I'm thinking 7 figures....at least. :lol:
June 13, 201115 yr About James no class/whinig statement about the fans wanting him to lose. Lebron, I still have the same amount of NBA Championships as you..........0!!, :sssh::lol:. Last night Lebron took his talents to the loser's locker room.

June 13, 201115 yr I kind of can't wait to see LeRobin win a title just to see his reaction. He will win a title one day. Won't he?
June 13, 201115 yr Thunder should throw Westbrook at the Magic for Howard. I think it would be a great fit for the Thunder. They have Maynor who appears to be an adequate PG, and Harden who can be the #2 perimeter scoring option after Durant. A force like Howard in the middle would make them near unstoppable IMO.

If I'm him they would be my #1 team on my wish list.
June 13, 201115 yr So was Bosh hurt, did he roll his ankle walking to the locker room or what? I understand being upset and shedding some tears, but I thought the guy was going to need an ambulance. He was waiting for the wambulance to pick him up.
