I wonder why they never seem to consider a 2-2-2-1 format? Do they think that the team with the better record having 4 of the first 6 at home is unfair?

You know, the guys that have been known for gambling addiction, cheating on their wives and one was even accused of rape.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't you also ask about how these things affect you?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They don't affect any of us, but to the average fan, it's as if their own relative committed those crimes. That's what's so frustrating abount the blind hatred for certain players (KG, LeBron, Karl Malone, etc)
Let me get this straight: Lebron hasn't done anything to affect me, so I can't dislike him.
Mmmkay...
So why is my dislike for him so frustrating for you? How does it affect you on a personal level?

It's probably enough that he's cheated competition to join up with Wade and Bosh,

There's a salary cap for a reason. I don't consider this cheating the competition, because even with those guys, you can't add as many role players under the salary cap. It's not Lebrons fault that cleveland couldn't build enough around him.
Even he thought he was cheating competition. That's why he thought he'd win 7+ championships.

Isn't that where HE set the bar?
Bingo!

No, not bingo. This is still stupid. How many did Jordan have at this point in his career? You can't compare Jordans entire career to what Lebron has done by age 26. That's just stupid and illogical. But alas, when you hate something, you don't think logically.
How many did Jordan guarantee he would win when he had zero?
quote:
I have no doubt at all the Lebron had a LOT of growing up to do when he came in the league. He was an 18 year old kid who had been catered since he was around 13 because of his unprecedented talents. He was raised by a mom the sort of which would go on to sleep with one of his Cleveland teammates. Of course he was immature. Wouldn't you be?
Despite all that, he has progressed into a person who never gets in trouble, appears stable, and plays a selfless brand of basketball.
Why am I not allowed to prefer that a humble guy like Durant, who is much younger, also appears stable (whatever the hell that means), is incredibly humble, etc. win? Why am I not allowed to prefer that a team built organically by guys that don't mind playing in a small town win?
Why am I not allowed to dislike a guy that craves my love like Lebron? I guess I must be missing something.
Because I can pretty well guarantee that almost all of you defending him have hated athletes for reasons that aren't as good as this before. Because people do all the time. Arrogance is a pretty good reason to dislike someone.
quote:
Oh, but let's get mad about 'the decision', that awful thing that raised 4 million dollars for charity, what an awful and selfish human being.
The fact that their act of incredible arrogance had a salutory side effect does not make it the right thing to do.
Between the Heat, Chris Bosh, Lebron James and DwYane Wade $4 million could have been raised in a lot of ways that wouldn't have been the self-aggrandizing me-fest those three guys held.

The 2-3-2 format sucks.
I'll say this, its great that kevin durant scored 14+ in the 4th quarter. Maybe he should consider scoring more in the first half too.
I'm sure the 2-3-2 format has to do with the difficulties of mobilizing media.

and can score more in the first half!

Just horrible damn officiating. Giving a technical for a call so bad you overturn it? And miss a probable loose ball foul on?
Where can I stream the game online at??
Old Baldy needs to be retired from refing
Hilarious. Harden actually stepped aside (which is what the league wants) to let Wade pass.
I'm from Texas. I don't pull for teams from Oklahoma unless they are playing the sips-then AND ONLY THEN is it acceptable. 
go heat eff Oklahoma.
go heat eff Oklahoma.
Do you ever stop whining about the officiating? Despite the fact that the game is in Miami, and despite the fact that Miami has been attacking the rim relentlessly, the free throws are basically even. So, please, quit whining.
Hate those shots by Westbrook, but damn if he hit it anyway.
If you are refering to me I think he makes terrible calls in every game.

no he is referring to Jacques.
pretty solid first half. about what you'd expect. OKC was not going to come out and half ass it again to start, and the Heat were attacking the rim at will.
Setting up to be another great 2nd half.

This is going to be another very close game.
Westbrook with the Rondo.
That was a bad call, and it really hurts OKC.
Smart move by Wade, though.
For some reason Stern does not want Durant on the court. No star should get this many bad calls against them.
One thing is for certain, Durante does not get the leeway on D that James does. He's had some pretty touchy fouls this series.

Was that a bad call or not?
Was that even CLOSE to being a foul?
No.

It's common sense why the 2-3-2 format is only used in the Finals. You're talking about a team from the east playing a team from the west. The travel between sites is normally much farther than in the first few rounds.
Yeah bad call on Durant. Lets see if Miami can capitalize. So far they're missing jumpers, though.

Two straight games of bad calls. Meanwhile, Wade gets "fouled" when some intentionally lets him pass.
Miami is getting killed on the boards (right now).

OKC fouling a 3 pt shooter on subsequent possessions. Don't see that very often.
Wade's gotta make that dunk.
