Semantics.
Alright, man. Whatever you say. I'm not doing this shit again.
Semantics.
Allen, Garnett, and Pierce didn't all huddle up and decide to sign in the same place at the same time.What's the diff between 3 guys like Wade, Lebron and Bosh coming together to get by the rest of the NBA vs 3 guys like, say, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce coming together to get by the rest of the NBA? It's practically the same story, except of course the fact that the Celtics added even more big names to the equation.
Anyway, sorry they lost, I'm pulling for them, as you know, partly cos of you and Philbert....
Both players attitude and demeanor on the court are incredibly similar. If Derrick Rose were on this team and Dwyane Wade were in Chicago in Rose's position, you'd all be villain-izing Rose so badly it's not even funny.
Right. Have fun villainizing Lebron. That's fine. It's fitting. He has a massive ego. I just don't get where Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade factor into the whole asshole/ego thing. They're often just grouped together with LeBron for the sake of grouping them together.

Impy is right. There's a difference. This is far from semantics, and dismissing it as such is just lazy.
Dwayne Wade ..Marquette.
So why start it then? Feel free to ignore
You're right, they didn't huddle up. Their fat cat suits in head office huddled up and decided to move the pawns into place.
So Minnesota and Seattle just wanted to see Boston win a title, for the hell of it? This makes zero sense.You're right, they didn't huddle up. Their fat cat suits in head office huddled up and decided to move the pawns into place.
And that's why calling it what it is - semantics - is anything BUT lazy.
But I get it, this is way over my head, right?
i edited most of my response because I really don't give a shit about debating this stuff. my question was rhetorical. whatever.
I just have a problem with hating Miami because Lebron went there. I don't love the guy myself and would be the first to fry him for his massive ego. But for fuck's sake, Jordan was no nice guy either. He was class-A jerk, in fact, in many people's minds.
Jordan earned his rings through years of hard work. LeBron took the easy way there.*
*Though I really hope Dirk and the Mavs send them home empty handed.
Congrats, Imperor!
GAF is one my all-time favorite Put Em Under Pressure posters...he's knowledgable, he loves his teams, really only shows hate for a handful of teams (Minnesota area), even when his teams bow out he keeps watching the playoffs and enjoys them as much as he can.....and he keeps hope alive for his teams at all costs. I really admire that, cos as I said in the NHL thread, way too many sports fans have turned sports into a means to spew bile and vent and whatnot...when, really, it should be a source of joy, or at least positive entertainment.
Deputy, is there any Texas/Oklahoma hatred connected to this series, or have the Thunder not been there long enough for that to kick in?
I'd have a hard time ever hating them due to my obvious KD connection, but Westbrook made it pretty tough not to at times. Dude has the early signs of being a total punk, which really clashes with Durant's personality.
GAF - Game 5 is ours. We'll go from there, eh?
