I do NOT want a Lakers/Heat final

[Laxlen]

HOLD ON, don't dismiss this as a "haters gonna hate" blog entry because it's not!

I have been known to dabble in a lottery called Sports Select. On any given game night, if my $2 says I need the Heat or the Lakers to win, then for those nights I am huge fan of the teams. Even in the world of fantasy sports I consider LeBron the 1st pick overall over Durant. I also figure Kobe being drafted no later than 1st pick of the 2nd round ahead of Nowitzki, Irving & Cousins.

The NBA is a league that stills lives in the shadows of the scandolous actions of a past referee's. Don't believe me, try having a discussion about last year's playoffs that does not include chatter about the reffing.

Mix in a NBA President that vetoed a trade to a team he was technically running himself and the emerging trend of "super-friend" teams and you have the basis for my belief that a Lakers/Heat final would be the worst thing that could happen to a league that is fighting for credibility.

I am not asking for a NFL situation where a wildcard team wins the Superbowl or a NHL situation where an 8th seed wins the Cup, I am simply asking to see two teams in the Finals that are not the Lakers and Heat. It would be the first time since the 2007 finals, which featured LeBron's Cavs facing the Spurs, that neither LA or Miami was in the finals.

A senior citizen version of the Finals featuring the Celtics and Spurs would appease me fine. The OKC Thunder getting another shot at the title would not be de-valued if that shot came against Indiana or Philadelphia instead of Miami.

I want a Bobcats vs Wizards finals match up....oh wait...:lol :lol :lol :lol

Me too..

I rather have Laker/Bulls (with healthy DRose tho..) I want the heat to lose in the first round for an upset or miss the playoff.. That would be fun.. :lol

[Velocirap31]

As a fan of a team that has no chance of making the Finals, I DO want to see a Miami/Lakers Finale.

For as much talent the Heat have, their style of play is actually quite boring tbh. Their boring (yet quite effective in this era) of three-point chucking, flopping and free-throw feasting just doesn't appeal to me.

The Knicks, despite also shooting a lot of threes, are at least free-flowing and don't bog down the flow of the game with free-throw seeking and flopping players.. the less ref involvement the better.

Lakers/Boston is a totally different animal.. it's tradition.

We need a Lakers/Miami finals... we went without a Bulls/Rockets(Olajuwon vs Jordan) finals... that crime cannot be repeated... the world has been waiting for this clash since Shaq left LA...

This is the perfect time... Shaq will be there rooting against the two persons he hates the most, Kobe and Howard... LA fans will be there rooting against the two players they hate the most Bron and Wade... Also Shaq dislikes Nash.

so technically it will be Shaq(as a commentator), Wade and Bron vs Kobe, Howard, Nash,MWP, Gasol and the rest of LA... it was the finals that was supposed to happen but didn't happen 6 - 8 years ago...

This needs to/must happen...

[DaSeba5]

The Heat have always been a solid franchise that made the playoffs consistently, but this is the first time they've had a consistent elite team that can make the Finals every year.

It would be exciting to play LA. Both franchises have never played each other in the Finals and it would bring a new experience.

The Heat have played Dallas and OKC the last 2 years in the Finals. Those series aren't seen often, and create new rivalries. We've seen Boston and LA a million times.

Once Miami fades away for a while (if they do), OKC should be on top and they should create a rivalry with other young teams on the rise. At least I hope so.

I actually have been fairly open about it.. still doesn't mean that you're not a LeBron dicksucker by bringing that out of nowhere. Stan logic: If you don't LOVE the Heat style of play and don't prefer them over any team in the east = Fear them. :facepalm

Anyway, it's just an observation. I've noticed most Kobe fans don't wanna see Lebron in the finals. Why? They're scared for their boy. They know fully well Lebron outplays him in their H2H's. Doesn't take a "Lebron dicksucker" to know that.

I honestly don't give a crap who the Lakers beat in the finals, as long as they win.

That being said... it would be extra special if it were the Heat. The Heat are boring, I agree. But, LeBron is the best player in the league and it makes it just a little sweeter to take down the top dog in his prime.

I do not know how u think the Heat were boring when the Celtics were one of the more boring teams last year..like by far. How many Celtics game have u watched last year? I fell asleep in all of them besides when they faced the Heat and Bulls. :confusedshrug:

The Knicks are still a question mark.

You just dont want to see your team get destroy by the player Laker fans like to pick on the most. :lol

Lakers fans/Kobe stans always talk shit about LeBron but try to avoid playing him.:oldlol: I know for a fact that Lakers fan were relieved after the THunder kicked the Lakers ass in the Semi Finals so they dont have to see their team get embarrassed by LeBron. :oldlol:

A team? Nikka you're from Canada and root for the Lakers. It's quite easy to pick the winningest franchise of said sport to rep, and act all high and mighty ... when you have no real affiliation to be a fan of that team to begin with. Shouldn't you be all about the Raptors? It's like me living out of state, getting into baseball, and rooting for the Yankess and then getting into it with another fan and being like "oh yea ... well what team do you root for ?!!" As if to brag.

Really.. go on..


Personally, I didn't want a Lakers/ Cavs finals because of the historic level of preferential treatment the Cavs got - even moreso than the heat, but people didn't pay much to it since it's a small market team and LeBron was "likable" to the masses.

You don't get just 2 games away from the best home record in NBA history without a lot of home cooking. This current Heat team with LeBron Cavaliers preferential treatment wouldn't lose a game.

It was actually quite miraculous how the Magic overcame all the anti-pref they received. Had it not been for some timely shots and heoric play by Rashard Lewis and Hedo, this farce of a team (Cavs) would've made the 06 charade look like a picnic. As a basketball purist, I'm grateful for that.

Wow....do you have your head up your @ss!!!!!
First, I don't give a crap what you want....it's most likely Lakers vs. Heat.

How the Fk would any title be devalued??? If OKC or anyone wins it's legit unless Stern voids a trade....lol.

Then of all the idiotic things....you say Celtics???? The Celtics who have won the most NBA titles???? That nullifies your entire point :banghead:
Then you add in the Spurs who have....other than the Lakers, won the most titles since MJ retired :facepalm :banghead:

Any finals with the :sleeping Spurs:sleeping is a ratings killer.....nobody really wants to see that other than Spurs fans.

If you had said you wanted OKC vs. Indiana.....that would make sense.

Not even close. The Magic won due to matchup problems, and Mo Williams being non existent as second option to Bron. Had virtually NOTHING to do with ref micromanaged games.

Refs don't win or lose games. That is usually a pathetic, weak minded excuse for fans. They can heavily influence them with awkward officiating. See Heat 2006, Lakers 2002, etc.

But the Cavs were a great regular season team because they played great team defense, had fun on the court, and were led by an all time great talent ... who quite simply makes the players around him better.

That's what Laker / Kobe fans know deep down in their hearts, and it's also why they project onto him. Why? Because they fear him.

It didn't work for the Cavs in the playoffs, much the way this same style didn't work for the 2011 Bulls because in the playoffs, you need legit scoring / playmaking options beyond your superstar player to be a true championship caliber team.

[ImmortalD24]

A team? Nikka you're from Canada and root for the Lakers. Am I? News to me.

when you have no real affiliation to be a fan of that team to begin with. How so? Oh, I'm from canada right.. yeah I guess I don't.


Shouldn't you be all about the Raptors?
I watch a few games here and there.. I follow them (even though they suck).

Funny how Laker haters always only want to apply that "logic" to Laker fans. Yeah, like all the FAKE Cavs fans who sprang up out of nowhere back in '03 when Lebron signed with the Cavs, were TRUE Cavs fans.

Why are you talking to me about this kiddo? I'm not a Laker, Cavs, or Heat fan ... so why are you lecturing?

We do apply this same logic to Lakers / Heat / Cavs fans. Although on the other hand I think it's more difficult to root for an individual player, through hard times and good ... than it is to claim to be a fan of a FRANCHISE that due to location, deep pockets, etc. virtually will always remain relevant (apart from the 90s) because much like the Yankees in baseball procure talents developed elsewhere with their pockets.

It's easy to be a fan of the purple and gold. They're spoiled with greatness. Usually acquired greatness, and not developed. It takes the fun away from seeing the struggle to get to the top. It's the easiest thing in the world to throw on a Laker gear and claim to be a fan from the start.

Go take your medicine, and STFU.

For as much talent the Heat have, their style of play is actually quite boring tbh. Their boring (yet quite effective in this era) of three-point chucking, flopping and free-throw feasting just doesn't appeal to me.

The Knicks, despite also shooting a lot of threes, are at least free-flowing and don't bog down the flow of the game with free-throw seeking and flopping players.. the less ref involvement the better.

He has a point, though. They have a sick transition game thats fun, but that evaporates in the playoffs.

Their two star players, very much do play for foul calls ... instead of going out and just trying to beast mode and get baskets the way they're both capable.

Wade did it in game 6 v.s. Indiana. And LeBron did it in game 6 v.s. Boston.

Those were the two most exciting games Miami played, in terms of skill and performance.

at least to me they were.

Last year was the first time since I started watching the Lakers in 1991 that I fell asleep during games. The offense was terrible. It was probably a combination of Kobe-ball, horrible spacing, iso offense, and dumbass Mike Brown.

[stallionaire]

For as much talent the Heat have, their style of play is actually quite boring tbh. Their boring (yet quite effective in this era) of three-point chucking, flopping and free-throw feasting just doesn't appeal to me.

The Knicks, despite also shooting a lot of threes, are at least free-flowing and don't bog down the flow of the game with free-throw seeking and flopping players.. the less ref involvement the better.

Lakers/Boston is a totally different animal.. it's tradition.

nobody gives a shit about your tradition

if they never played again i'd be happy. **** that rivalry.

[KingBeasley08]

Yeah i have one question

WTF are you talking about?????????

Dude i know you like to troll a lot but sometimes its getting really ridiculous.
Dude's just insane. Leave em alone

[HorryIsMyMVP]

The Celtics have sucked for awhile now. They were only good when KG was still a beast.

Horrendously boring.

I think the most exciting team to watch is OKC.

You've got Westrbook, who like young Wade, goes balls to the wall athleticism attacking the basket.

You've got Sefalosha playing lock down fundamental man defense on the perimeter. Ibaka blocking shots, Perkins scowl. You've got Kevin Durant having fun, and stroking the long ball from deep, and James Harden coming in and doing his THANG off the dribble.

Beyond the occasional flops from Harden, they play for the BASKET ... they can run, jump, play defense but also play entertaining in the half court.

Westbrook and Durant are better half court ball players offensively than Wade and LeBron at this point. Wade can play like Westbrook when he isn't trying to egg on refs by getting foul calls.


It was probably a combination of Kobe-ball, horrible spacing, iso offense, and dumbass Mike Brown.
Correction. OLD less capable Kobe-ball.

That style of play was super fun in 2006 and 2007 when he was 28 - 30 and could actually do stuff.

Celtics/Lakers :applause:

I always want Celtics/Lakers.

[Money 23]

I always want Celtics/Lakers.
Is that why Celtics and Lakers fans claim up and down the 90's was a weak era?

Simply because those two powerhouses were for just one decade, no onger relevant or dominant?

Talk about a spoiled ass fan base.

[DixieNourmous]

It would be nice to see a team or two go HaM on the league.

Warriors, Nuggets, Wizards, someone that comes from the depths of irrelevance.


ISH would have a whole new group of homers instantly :lol

[Poochymama]

Yeah i have one question

WTF are you talking about?????????

Dude i know you like to troll a lot but sometimes its getting really ridiculous.

At this point, questions like this need not be asked. For anyone who's been on this site long enough, it should be fairly obvious that LakersReign is mentally unstable. 95% of his posts are written harangues filled with personal call outs(in parenthesis) and emoticons. Dude rarely even talks basketball.

I appreciate you telling me that I apparently said the 90s were a weak era. I mean...Jordan, the Dream Team, Shaq...obviously weak, amirite? I also appreciate being called spoiled for wanting to see my favorite team play its arch rival in the Finals.

I clearly must be some kind of judgmental asshole.

If he only had a brain (Lakersreign)

He could wile away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain
And his head he'd be scratchin'
While his thoughts were busy hatchin'
If he only had a brain (Lakersreign)

He'd unravel any riddle
For any individ'le
In trouble or in pain (Lakersreign)


With the thoughts he'd be thinkin'
He could be another Lincoln
If he only had a brain (Lakersreign)


Oh, He would tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
He could think of things He never thought before
And then He'd sit and think some more

He would not be just a nuffin'
His head all full of stuffin'
His heart all full of pain
He would dance and be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If he only had a brain (Lakersreign)


If he only had a brain (Lakersreign)
He would not be such a pain (Lakersreign)
If he only had a brain (Lakersreign)
He'd seem much less insane (LakersReign)


If he only had a brain, if he only had a brain, If he only had a brain!

OP... wild coincidence... had this page open for the past half hour and during this time period I was doing a history project which included me drawing the portuguese flag thirty seconds ago. I looked up for a second and immediately saw your avatar. O_o

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

This goes back to 2008 / 2009, though.
lakers are known for taking nights off against scrubs.

Just gotta love it how this sorry, lying fat ****(rrr3) who's been posting the exact same tired sh*t for 10 months straight cuz he(rrr3) can't think of anything else to say, tries to call someone else brainless(rrr3) Hilarious ironic hypocritical stupidity(rrr3):roll:

[alleykat]

Before Kobe retires I think this has to happen....

the two most hyped teams in the league squaring off will be amazing....I don't get how Miami is boring when their transition offense alone is full of highlights...and the lakers got the extras they need to have a crazy good shot at the title...

[Legends66NBA7]

I don't care for either the media angle or the rivalries of the past... as long as we have the finals and teams competing for it, that's all that matters to me.

This shouldn't be a popularity contest.

[upside24]

I want to see it so ****ing bad.

LeBron, Kobe, Howard, Nash, Wade, Gasol, Bosh, Ray Allen. Not to mention offmeds Metta FINALS intensity.

:banana: :rockon: :bowdown: :applause:

That's all the NBA is now...you really think people want to a Spurs vs Celtics finals?...:rolleyes:

[Legends66NBA7]

you really think people want to a Spurs vs Celtics finals?

So 2 teams that, even after their star players decline, will still have a bright future in the years to come ?

Even if I wanted to look at this in a star matchup and media angle, you got:

Tim Duncan vs Kevin Garnett (battle of 2 GOAT PF's)

Tony Parker vs Rajon Rondo (battle of 2 exciting PG's)

Manu Ginobilli vs Jason Terry (battle of the 6th men)

There's plenty of names there and style match ups to keep people interested. You can go with the sub-plot angle of Duncan having animosity against Garnett for the longest time.

Both teams also establish a team-first mentality to the game. There's nothing "people" should roll their eyes over in a potential match up like that.

[wakencdukest]

There's a bunch of dumb f*cks in this thread. If they are the 2 best teams in the league at the end of the season, you assholes are saying you wouldn't want to see that final?

[longtime lurker]

Lebron dick riders need to relax about Laker fans being scared of the Heat :oldlol: you win one championship and you guys act like you're unbeatable. Besides what does it exactly prove if the Heat beat an out of his prime Kobe :confusedshrug: On the flip side if the Heat lose we'll just hear the same tired excuses that Lebron plays with the worst case in NBA history and that the only reason Kobe won was because he has the most stacked roster blah blah blah. Both these teams are so stacked that this is really the only match up that makes sense, although the Heat are boring to watch. Only 2 teams that can challenge each other which pisses me off even more about this whole super team garbage that the big 3 in Miami started. If pretty much takes the competition out of the NBA.

[FKAri]

Lakers need to get out of the 1st round before getting to the finals

[LakersReign]

Lakers need to get out of the 1st round before getting to the finals

You do realize that they lost in the second round the last 2 years right?:coleman:

[I.R.Beast]

niether of them are going to the finals...the refs and stern already did their part to get james his ring he will have to earn it this time. i got a Celtics Thunder final... Rondo wins finals MVP 18 points and 13 apg per game...believe it !!....bleed green!!!

[All Net]

=wakencdukest If they are the 2 best teams in the league at the end of the season, you assholes are saying you wouldn't want to see that final?

Agreed.

[LA Lakers]

Again, I want a Kobe/Lebron showdown in the finals before I die. Plus, with the stacked teams theyve got. If that doesnt happen, I wouldnt mind a Lakers Celtics rematch. Who wins the best outta 3 trilogy... They got us in 08 and we nearly got got again in 2010 but pulled through. But really, it needs to be Heat/Lakers.

It doesn't really make sense to me either but I assume that there's a lot of people out there that just want the underdog to be in it.. a role that the Lakers nor the Heat fit into.

To me saying that you don't want a heat/lakers final is almost like saying you don't want to see a pacquiao/mayweather fight.. why not see the best two (potentially) teams in the league duke it out?

[I<3NBA]

Or it doesn't matter if the Heat/Lakers finals happen because they are other potential match ups ?

Media could sell any match ups and story lines even if it's 2 teams that don't get a lot of media coverage. I'll watch any match up that happens in the NBA Finals.

For the popularity of the stars behind a Heat/Lakers match up, hey, let's hope it can happen... but it wouldn't be the only thing I sit down for.

[TryToBeUnbias]

Might be LAL vs BOS you never know.
