Im taking Dallas. Miami is going to have a hard time defending the maverick perimeter shooter AND defending the paint against penetration by Barea and the size advantage that Dallas will possess.

Dallas, to me, has been the most complete team in the playoffs and have dominated two teams that I think would have been tough for Miami to beat. I realize that has nothing to do with THIS matchup but at the same time it shows the level of ball that they are playing.

If Wade were 100%, I think Miami would have a chance but with his injury problems, give me Dallas in 6.

I'm setting the over/under on games that I can stay awake until the end at 1, and I'm taking the under.

don't bet on it...or at least not a lot. I don't have a ton of confidence in that selection.

Although, maybe that is why it might actually win.

Dallas wins, but poo.



Mr. Gordon Gee was about to make an appearance.

Too bad.

Hopefully LeBron gets injured on the flight to Dallas and has to sit the rest of the series.

He deserves NOTHING.

Whoever wins this won't be getting it because they deserve anything. It will be because they earned it. LeBron must have really hurt you bad for you to hate him as much as you do.

He shouldn't earn anything. He's ghetto trash and a bad role model. He'd be a felon if he didn't have athletic ability.

F.uck yourself, son.

"I'm taking my talents to south beach"

People like that don't earn anything. He's nothing more than an overpaid circus freak.

Yes..and he's a big time choker and ball hog.




From what I have read, his antics remain he same......hold the ball----shoot the ball.

So everyone that has the chance to earn a living doing what they love and has earned the right to chose where they want to work is wrong to do so? Let's see. We don't hear about the guy getting in trouble with the law. We don't hear about him cheating on his woman. We don't hear about him having five kids with five different women. We don't hear about him using drugs. What's so bad about the guy? He has fun playing a GAME and that's bad? His teammates love him. I just don't understand all of the hatred. Why would you assume he'd be a felon? Because he's black? What has he done to lead you to that assumption? I know a lot of people were turned off by the whole media circus with the decision thing and I also didn't like the way they did it. But what's forgotten in the whole thing is that he insisted that the proceeds go to charity. Yeah, I guess that's pretty horrible. So he chose to go play in Miami with another great player and try to win a title. Big deal. If you had to chose between Miami and Cleveland to live, you'd probably chose Miami also.

He insisted the proceeds go to charity because it looked good. If he wanted to give money to charity, just give it, don't make a spectacle out of it.

Everything is Hollywood with him. It's beyond having fun. It's classless. Just play the f'n game already.

Good post KG. Can't really argue about anything except one thing. Me personally, you couldn't pay me to live in Miami. For me it's the worst weather on the planet. I do a ton of cross country skiing in season, and it's how I get most of my exercise so Miami would be misery for me. I'm a big fan of snow. Summer is painful for me which is why I sought out an extremely dry climate to live in. Maybe when I'm 80 I'll like warm and humid weather.

None of us know LeBron personally so none of us know what he's like behind the scenes. I'm guessing any one individual can focus on anything with LeBron and go to town. He is an ego maniac which is par for the course with stud athletes and why they are likely stud athletes. Those against can focus on that. those defending can make your points and stand fast. As a native northeastern Ohioan I only cheer for proper laundary so defended him when he donned the right laundary. I don't care much either way any more. I'm still pulling for Dallas!!
