Official 2011-2012 Playoff thread

Haha I was closer than 90% of the US with my Miami in 3 pick :D

But very happy that the Heat one, maybe no browsing NBA forums wont be so annoying

Dirk wasnt playing the level he was last year. Did you forget that the Heat faced Melo and Rondo..

Cmon man, Youre going to go with the 'size' argument witht the Lakers Pau and Bynum?? Lets see then...

Knicks: Def POY Tyson Chandler and Amare. Result?
Pacers: Roy Hibbert and David West. Result?
OKC: Serge Ibaka, Kendrick Perkins and Kevin Durant. Result?

Dont think the heat have had any problems going up against size...

"Celtics were banged up"?? Who?? Ray Allen? What about not having Bosh for the first few games...

These so called 'championship teams' are not the same when you lose key players.

Ha ha The Knicks just won their first playoff GAME in over a decade. If the Knicks are so amazing, how did they finish 7th IN THE EAST!!!

Pacers = average. Good young team on the rise though. Making up the numbers and overachieved this season.

Celts missed Avery Bradley BADLY, you know, the guy that kept Allen out of the starting lineup. They even missed what Wilcox and O'neal gave them.

Ibaka and Perkins are not Bynum and Gasol. Perkins has been found out massively this series.

Totally agree, Bosh not being there was a huge loss. It showed that everyone calling them the big 2 and a 1/2 were wrong.

I'd love to see the Heat go through the teams that OKC went through. Would be interesting.


At the end of the day, The Heat won the Finals. Of course they deserve the title. I just thought OKC deserved it more with the teams they had to go through.


Congrats to the Heat. Great team building there. Different guys stepping up finally to help out the big 3. That's how you win rings. This team is scary.

If OKC could go out and get anyone, I think they should get Steve Nash. He'll help them alot and could mentor Westbrook.

Yup completely agree, no class :) GOOOoooOoOOooO HEAT!!!! Already said it, haters gonna hate; all the time about everything, they'll find something to whinge and whine about, doesn't bother me. Pure and simple vindication!
 
Well done Lebron and legitimate heat fans. But to all those who supported the Cavs and then jumped ship to Miami when he left (yeah there is a lot of you guys isn't there) I don't think you have much to cheer for.

Once a Bandwagon always a Bandwagon. I support the colours and the team as much as any individual.
 
^^^^ PersonalIy I dont live in the US so dont have a "team" to support like I do here. I love watching one of if not the greatest player of this era and have been since he played for that dump of an organisation cleveland.

Now when it comes to NRL im Souths through and through, i'll never support another team.

I gotta agree with your sentiment, for me Adelaide 36ers all the way, win or lose (NZ Breakers are from my blood home so a little love there). But US teams, doesn't matter too much to me either.
 
I don't live in the US as most on this site don't. But i have supported the Bulls ever since 1990. When M.J came back into the league a third time i didn't change to being a wizards fan. No i stuck with my crappy Bulls. I don't think where you live is relevant. To support a team is to support a team. Anyone who went for Cleveland to only jump ship when Lebron left has no character or is too young to know better. I bet when Mo came to Cleveland they were all happy and Shaq for that matter. But was that happiness only for Lebron or because they thought the "team" they supported were possibly going to win a championship?

Sorry but even Lebron said in the press conference there is no " i " in team. Also ragging on Cleveland is just poor form. They might have made poor choices with some of the players they brought in to help Lebron but no one could accuse them of not doing everything they could to support him while he was there.

I appreciate watching Chris Judd play but would prefer to not follow the game than to lower myself to becoming a Blues supporter just for the sake of following who was once was my favourite player.

I'm not bagging Heat fans or Lebron fans. I'm bagging those who "supported" Cleveland only to jump ship once the King left. To me they don't deserve the right to celebrate. It's as hollow as a drum.

If you didn't support Cleveland then this does not apply to you. Celebrate all you like.

Congrats again Lebron, you deserved it.
