LeBron

[DP5555]

This is fair. The word "hater" gets tossed around waaay too much. I actually think Lebron is a smart dude and he will probably win a couple rings. I just won't have the pom poms out rooting for him. "The decision" and "pep rally" was so poorly handled it has Dwight Howard scared to make a decision. He wants to be a global icon this is the scrutiny that comes along with it.

I'm guilty of using the term "hater" multiple times in this thread. I think it's a fair term to use in regards to Lebron. I don't think you're a hater because I understand why his decision upset you and other people. You have a reason why you don't like him. Like I said earlier in the thread, I didn't like the way he handled it either. However, I also have found out that many people who say they hate Lebron because of "the decision" didn't even realize that his whole publicity stunt was also a huge charitable donation (more $ than most of us will ever make in our lives).

Lebron is actually a pretty humble guy who really just wants to be liked. He wants everyone to like him. I think the reaction he received because of his decision really shook him to the core. I think it messed with his confidence and that was pretty evident last year. Seems like the Heat are playing with more intensity this year. They're certainly playing better as a team.

I guess I just feel like a lot of people hate him for no reason other than the fact that he's the best player in the NBA. That title alone comes with a lot of baggage. When you compare the person that Lebron is both on and off the court to a lot of other stars in the league, I have no idea why people have so much hate for him. Therefore, I believe a lot of people hate him simply because of his talent and exposure. Hence the term: hater.

I do not hate Lebron. This whole Lebron debate forces you to take one side or the other I guess I see both sides of it. The 2nd and 3rd paragraphs are spot on I could not have stated it better myself.

He's going to have a big game tonight on the road. Heat go up 3-0. This is going to be a physical game tonight! Celts will come out hungry and do everything to get the win. It will not happen though.

If the refs continue to stay in the heat's back pocket like they have in games 1 and 2, you are dead on.

If the refs play for the freaking Celtics they have no chance. Get over it whiner.

LOL. Yes, I am sure Lebron flipped them 1k for each trip to the free throw line. Do sense the sarcasm.

I can't believe the Heat are beating the Celtics. This just shows how good Lebron is because he is beating three hall of famers in their prime plus Rondo and a very good/deep bench.

The big 3 are not in their prime.

WTF? Pierce, Allen and KG are all past their prime. Rondo is in his I would say.

I expected LeBron and Wade to get their numbers this series and they have. It's been their supporting cast that has surprised me. Miller in Game 1 and Chalmers in Game 2 have really stepped up.

Boston has paid off the refs. Conspiracy!!

 

[busabus114]

There hasn't been one. This is the reason I am rooting for the Heat to win about 10 straight rings. The hate that came out of "The decision" and a pep rally is so ridiculous it's insane. You've got a group of people who ride Jordan's jock despite the fact that he is a complete scumbag and berated his teammates. These are the same people that get all over Bron, who is never in trouble, and did "the decision" and brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Boys and Girls Club. I haven't been an NBA fan for years. The hatred for the Heat has brought me back out of spite.

Seems like there is more to your love of the Heat/Lebron than just this...I mean, how can someone be so aggressive in their posts about a team that they just jumped on the bandwagon of? Seems like you should calm down and just enjoy some great video

It's even easier to be a fake tough guy, like KG has been for years, and pick on small scrubs and Euros.

And he joined a very long list of NBA players who have cried after losing in the playoffs. Hillarious indeed.

99% of NBA players are fake tough guys

 

[busabus114]

So does anyone have action with Travis on the Celts tying it up? Celts will be favored by a couple in game 4

Yeah sure, only called the same amount of fouls on each team, this is not in MIAMI where one team got tons more FT and ton more fouls called on the away team.

IDK if Dexter and him set something up or not.

Whar Travis? Whar?

Hes waiting for the Heat to win game 4 so he can come back here and call us all ****heads, mother****ers, ******** and pieces of **** for not agreeing with him

Just thought I would point out that the Celtics were +27 last night when KG was on the court.

 

[DP5555]

Man I didnt get to watch the game last night because my cousin was back from the Army and we had way too much to drink in downtown DM. Sounds like KG had a great night. That's huge for the Celtics. The Heat are thin down low so that's definitely a spot they can exploit.

Gonna be interesting to see the pressure build. I'd love to see a game 7 just because it would be dramatic. These two teams hate each other too so it could get pretty intense. Plus you know the media will be all over Lebron waiting to see if he can make a game winner.

Anything to help the offseason go by....
