Oh, and I'm in the pro-Lebron camp. The guy took less money to get a title, or five. I didn't like his announcement, but I respect his desire to win. If he hadn't been such a boner with "The Decision" he'd be lauded as a "team guy" and a player who isn't in it for himself, etc. Guys take less money to chase titles all the time, but because of a bad PR move this guy is Benedict Arnold.
Not only "The Decision" but the way that he, Wade and Bosh treated free agency like a big joke. Wasted so many people's time. I mean, when top execs come out after a meeting with you and basically say "They're not coming here" - and these are highly experienced HR type people that can read you a mile away. Yet you continue the charade, and try to make a documentary out of the whole situation... It's just ridiculous. It's not just ONE bad PR move, it was months of bad PR moves that culminated in the worst PR move ever.
Add on the fact that the media has already crowned them champions before they've even played a game, and you build up a good amount of hate for them. Especially since I cheer for the Magic, and having all the pundits hand the SE division to the Heat, when the Magic are the team to beat there.

That felt good....I didn't mind it when Celtics did it since those were trades but these guys are a joke besides Wade. Lebron with the whole "the decision" and Bosh with the documentary. They're gonna win more than they lose but it's nice to see the other stacked teams are still better than these chumps.
Btw, anyone else think it should be big 4 in Boston, Pierce-Allen-Garnett-Rondo, instead of just big 3? Rondo can play.

Agreee 100% and now that blowhard Dan Lebatard is going to need them to lose just 2 more games if he wants his prediction to come true.
All you need to know about Bosh's character is watching his post game interview last night. After going on and on about how he knows everyone is watching them and when he turns on his tv it's all he can see. He then went on when asked about his point total, how he doesn't worry about his P.P.G because even when it was high "nobody cared." Chris then continued to reference how nobody cared if he put up big points.
Forgot to mention that Durant is going to have another great year - he'll probably win MVP as long as he has the supporting cast on his team to win games.
Portland has trailed in the fourth quarter of all 3 games so far, yet they're 3-0. Runs of 18-1, 15-0, and 17-3 have led to the comeback wins.
Also, R.I.P. Maurice Lucas, he returned to the Blazers when we moved to Portland in '87. He remained an important part of the Trailblazers and the city if Portland until his passing yesterday at the young age of 58.
