A savvy team can pull out a couple of games, but when they are overmatched you see the Celtics v Lakers in the 80's.

Now there is a chance the Celts knock us out of the dance, but I suspect we have confidence after beating them last yr. I think we maul the 76ers if they win gm 7, they have no edges on us imo. ]]> Miami Heat | NBA Discussion padre31 http://www.heatfreak.com/forums/showthread.php?925-So-who-will-we-face-in-the-finals http://www.heatfreak.com/forums/showthread.php?925-So-who-will-we-face-in-the-finals New Podcast 5/25/12 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HeatFreakForums/~3/2CtGC0rY5Hc/showthread.php Sat, 26 May 2012 01:19:28 GMT http://miami-heat-index.blogspot.com/2012/05/heatcast-spo-v-wade-withoutbosh-and.html?spref=tw Enjoy http://miami-heat-index.blogspot.com....html?spref=tw

I feel like it's up to each player to decide if they want to shake hands or not, particularly the players on the losing side, because sometimes the winners might look like they're being sportsmanlike when they're really just rubbing it in. These days, most of the players have at least cordial relationships with other players around the league, and the post-series handshakes are merely for show. A formality for the cameras to capture to ensure that they won't have to endure LeBron-level scrutiny. But the media has their darlings and their targets. Just weeks ago, Stephen A. returned to criticizing LBJ for not shaking Dwight's hand 3 years ago. Dwight and LBJ are good friends. Dwight never complained about LBJ not sharing a congratulatory photo-op with him. But the way the media carried on about it you would've thought LBJ spit in his face. But when Dirk stormed off kicking the game ball and pushing a stationary bike after losing to the Heat, you barely heard a peep about that. They hail some guys as class acts for shaking hands, and then paint others as scum for heading straight to their locker room. Which is it? Is shaking hands an optional gesture only shared amongst the super classy? Or is it a mandatory part of the culture that only the spoiled brats skip? It can't be both.

Although the league did upgrade Tyler's foul from a flagrant 1 to a flagrant 2, which basically means... nothing. Turiaf, JJ, M&M, Harris, Howard? At least two of them are going to have to step up to close it out in 6.

Roy Hibbert (eight points on 3-for-10 shooting) didn't see the Pittman play because he was ducking for cover on the bench under a rain of wet T-shirts being thrown from the stands. And it wasn't the kind of wet T-shirt contest you'd typically associate with South Beach.

"They'd tie them up in a ball, wet it a little bit so you can throw them farther," Hibbert said.
Heat fans -- stay classy, by the way -- are as easy to hate as their team. But this could've been the night when the Heat redirected all that derision and took it out in a good, clean way on the Pacers.

Instead, we have this: A great series turned ugly, and a Game 6 where tensions will be off the charts and everyone's head needs to be on a swivel, lest it be knocked off.

You don't have to like him. You don't have to cheer for him. But if you care about basketball, I hope you can appreciate him. Don't let the cynics and the haters and the screaming clowns take LeBron James away from you.

Should you suddenly grow hair on your nuts and decide to prove to the world that you're not just a "studio gangsta". May I suggest someone with whom to engage in fisticuffs? Someone who does not take any guff from no one? Someone who is your own size?

I don't know about you guys, but lately I've been feeling stressed before games.. I just don't enjoy watching this team like I have previous Heat teams, even when we are winning and dominating. There is something about all this hype, pressure and just state of the team that has me on edge.. I long for the day where I just sat back and enjoyed the game of basketball, enjoyed the hustle of the early Pat Riley teams, enjoyed playoff basketball and the competitive spirit in the league. Now, I don't even get the same gratification when we win..

I've slogged through 6-10 /1-15/4-12 Dolphin teams, but nothing compares to this recent frustration.

Anyone else feeling the same way? To be clear I will never abandon this team or my love of basketball, I just need to step back and enjoy myself :) ]]> Miami Heat | NBA Discussion bumrush http://www.heatfreak.com/forums/showthread.php?909-I-ll-be-enjoying-my-Sunday-Without-the-Heat http://www.heatfreak.com/forums/showthread.php?909-I-ll-be-enjoying-my-Sunday-Without-the-Heat
