Durant is the best player in the NBA imo. He is wayy more clutch than anyone else, just put the ball in his hands and he is money it seems.

James Harden is a fucking stud too

Not only is he clutch, he is also very likable. His personalty is the complete opposite of most stars. He seems quiet and humble despite being the NBA's leading scorer back-to-back years. Him and Derrick Rose, 2 of my favorite players

Fuck that i want a Spurs Heat final

what's wrong with me?  forgettin about the spurs?  totally slipped my mind.  don't sleep on san antonio for real, as you're obviously not   spurs are a good team for sure though.  spurs, heat, and thunder are all very good teams and boston isn't too far behind either.

if i just had to pick two teams though, i'd have to say thunder/ heat though, but wouldn't be surprised at all to be wrong either, ya know?

With a two-armed Rondo this year the Celtics have a much higher chance. Plus, Bass has been solid. I like him better than Glen Davis.

Rondo is their biggest advantage. The heat suck at the PG position defensively and if they have to stick Wade on him it will work to their advantage.

Boston definitely has the ability to have nice matchups. LeBron on Pierce, Bosh (when he comes back) on KG, then you got Wade to play Rondo/ Ray Allen

Both these conference finals are going to be awesome series. One of the better ones in the past decade. All 4 teams remaining are legit championship caliber teams

LeBron has been a choke artist as usual. He had a chance to win that game for them on a pretty wide open 3 pointer.. Instead he bricked it, then he allowed Paul Pierce to walk him down and spray one right in his face. That was the game right there.

And people hate the Heat because of the bullshit stunt James pulled on ESPN when all indications pointed to him returning to Cleveland, he got on national television and embarrassed and betrayed his city and franchise that drafted him #1 overall. A franchise takes a big risk when they give you max contracts and uses the #1 pick on you, he rewarded them with 7 years of great play.. and if he would have left like any other normal FA player, then there wouldnt be the hate but it was the way he left.

^Isn't that like exactly what I said before?   It wasn't that he left, it's how he left.  He basically CARRIED that team though for real dude.  He had some decent players with him, but definitely needed a better supporting cast.  And when did indications point to him going back to Cleveland?  There were reports for like DAYS before that ESPN TV special that he was going to Miami.  Yes, he did embarrass the shit out of Cleveland by doing the whole hour long TV special, but from what I remember, indications were always that he was leaving the Cavs, just not sure to where and that basically the Cavs were just grabbing at straws and hoping so bad he would stay, which was like a 1% chance he would.  You're a Cavs fan, aren't you?  If I remember correctly, I think you said that before back in the day when I used to be up here all the time. 

Bottom line I think is that if the Heat were better as a whole, there would be less insane, life under a magnifying glass type pressure on him and he would play better, which he's already an insanely good player to begin with, but he would be even better imo.  I also think that young coach of there's needs to go.  Pat Riley could turn that team into a dynasty.  They'll get rid of Spolstra before they break that team up, I guarantee it.  I don't think he has the team's respect to be honest.  A team like that needs a better coach dude, somebody that knows how to get them to play together.  They just look confused at times to me.  But then again, they've only been together for 2 years now, people forget that.  I mean how many teams win a title in their first year together dude?  Or even their second year together?  And this year wasn't even a full year.  They will win championships though, no doubt in my mind.

Right and Adrian Peterson didnt get on stage and say "Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4... " when referring to how many titles he was going to win

Dont forget that moment either. That's another reason a lot of people hate him

I said that already dude   Did you even read what I wrote?
