Let's discuss Miami going to the finals for 4 straight years

[Andrei89]

I had a premature ejaculation so I made this thread.

What an amazing 4 years these have been. Hopefully, we win yet another ring and three-peat to complete one of the GOAT Dynasties ...

Go Miami!

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

must be great, how many finals games have you attended?

[edrick]

Not over yet.

[Andrei89]

None.

Your point is? :banana: :banana:

[DaSeba5]

First non-Celtics/Lakers franchise to do so. Those franchises in are a class of their own so.... :banana:

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

None.

Your point is? :banana: :banana:
exactly, get lost you little rat.

[Black and White]

Did anyone expect less from this team?? This is a team built to win championships.

[JellyBean]

Pretty impressive indeed. :cheers:

[VengefulAngel]

exactly, get lost you little rat.

STFU.

[Andrei89]

Exactly what bro?

I asked for what your point was. Anyway, you dont need to answer if you are upset.

[Bernkastel]

Gotta applaud the Pacers for carrying them on their back.

[Micku]

While it was expected from them ever since they got together, it's still amazing to see. The competition of the East kind'a sucks, but it's still an amazing feat to be the best of their conference for four years straight, assuming if they beat the Pacers (it looks like it).

And if they win a championship, then it'll be more amazing.

[KDthunderup]

Eastern conference

[JellyBean]

Did anyone expect less from this team?? This is a team built to win championships.

The way they played against the Mavs in that Finals in 2011, I had my worries. I agree the Heat are built to win championships. But how many times have we seen teams with so much potential, fall short of expectations? But the Heat are pretty impressive.

[coin24]

Hopefully the spurs wipe there asses with the heat this year. 2 out of 4 finals will be good IMO.
A nice failure after promising not 6, not 7 etc..:cheers:

[Tmuston Beltics]

no idea :confusedshrug:

[Beastmode88]

No doubt it's an incredible feat but you have to admit all the teams they played in the east kinda sucked.

[GoSpursGo1984]

The East does not have a lot of good teams
Heat get a lot of favorable calls in the playoffs

[The-Legend-24]

East.

[coin24]

Not to mention all those 50 win teams the heat have beaten:bowdown:

I'm highly disappointed! I expected and was promised a whole lot more.

They failed and didn't live up to their promise in my eyes.

and?

[Andrei89]

Of course I have not, I live in the Netherlands.

But what do you call someone who for 10 years stays up till 5-6 AM to watch Heat games.

When Shaq joined the Heat, I had a run of 2 months where I would watch games until 5 AM and then wake up at 7 AM to go to high school.

Enjoy the Heat dynasty bro, it might be long before another team like this comes along.

[HylianNightmare]

It's impressive, doesn't mean we have to like it

[DaSeba5]

I don't mind if people don't like it, but I can't take the people serious who are saying they aren't impressed with it. It hasn't been done in a long time.

[DFish24]

Was expected and not really impressed because of the competition they faced.

[kurple]

colluding in the weakest conference era ever

not impressed

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

i forgot, i used to root for the heat when eddie jones went there. Go Heat! 3-peat, lessss getit.

[Quizno]

i'm not hating, but i don't think it's the most impressive accomplishment when you consider how much more talented the heat team is compared to their competition. too much talent, too many great role players, too little competition in the east. this team SHOULD make the finals every year. three peating would be much more impressive

[Andrei89]

By the way. To clear the air in here.

The Heat , in this 4 year run, have also had a very impressive record against the West "elite" conference.

That Dynasty...destroying East / West alike.

Like Dany said :" the Dragon feasts on sheep and horse alike"

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

I don't think it's the most impressive thing ever, but it is impressive. But I agree 3-peating would more impressive. In fact, if Miami loses in the Finals, it stains that feat to me somewhat.

This hasn't happened since 1984-1987, but it's expected? lol

Read a few posts above

East or West = all the same to the Miami Heat.

You think Dallas would have brought the mighty Miami Heat to 7 games this year? I luld.

Same for the Grizzlies.

[sbw19]

Good competition 1st two Finals runs, last two lousy. Spurs making it two straight is more impressive IMO, considering how strong West's been.

Yeah, the Heat were on a 19-20 game win streak against the West from 2013-2014 regular season.

Yeah, the Spurs losing 2 games on their way to the Finals was impressive, and showed how great the West teams were, apparently.

Why would I need to do that when I've watched every playoff series for the last 16 years or so? I'd much rather base my opinion on what I see not what I read.

Most of the teams the Heat faced in the playoffs this year can't score much and sometimes go minutes without scoring...one thing the Mavs can do is score the ball and I know they would've gave the Heat all they could handle.

You people still do not understand that the West offensive tempo is the Heat's favorite style of play.

They would feast on every team in the West.

Sure, the Spurs give them trouble, but the Spurs is a great Dynasty with one of the GOAT coaches.

[The-Legend-24]

What's the point of making this thread if every response you make is, "UMAD?"

memphis, clippers, suns (if they made it), spurs, dallas, and houston would have gave miami a great series.

but instead they had the lolcats, the senior citizen nets, and the indiana fakers. :facepalm

let's just hope the finals will be good this year.

[aboss4real24]

sumtn the spurs cant do

[Jacks3]

Historically poor comp for 2 straight seasons. It's hard to be impressed when a team is essentially getting a bye through the first two rounds and then gets to play a severely flawed Pacers team that would be nothing more than 7-8 seed/struggle to make the playoffs in the West. It's ****ing pathetic.

[KingBeasley08]

props to the Heat and their fans

Yeah, its not like Indiana didn't push Miami the last 2 years.....Its not like they don't split all of their regular season meetings.......

There's a ton of proof that all of those teams would have played Miami better......

Why do we wait until after the games are over and then act like we predicted the future all along?

[Prometheus]

Look I'm not going to pretend the West isn't stronger than the East, but the butthurt of Heat-haters in this thread is enough to really add to the enjoyment of my night... Stone Ruination IPA, my girl's big ass, Miami dominating Indiana, and you losers being mad and frustrated about the Heat's dominance really all just comes together to satisfy me in a way that is complete. Thanks bitches :cheers:

[Dro]

props to the Heat but f*ck their fans, mostly Lebron stans..

Fixed.....

[Andrei89]

props to the Heat and their fans

:cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Much appreciated bro.

This 4 year dominance has been sick and amazing to watch. Thank you Miami, thank you Pat Riley....let us get a three peat now.

[T_L_P]

sumtn the spurs cant do

It's something that no-one else has has done in since like the 80s. :facepalm

[TheMarkMadsen]

props to the Heat and their fans

yeah they really motivated them last year by walking out early before the game was over and creating threads on ISH about much of a bitch Lebron is before the series was over

[Ne 1]

They're playing in a historically weak conference... and playing in the weakest era for bigs ever...and in the weakest era for superstars though.

:facepalm :facepalm

WHat happened to " LOL NEts swept the Heat, lol Lebron will be shook playing against the Pacers"

And most of all, them threads in March " Miami wont make the finals this year, Miami is not as good as they once were"

:applause: :applause: :applause:

[chosen_one6]

A handful of fans acting a certain way does not mean all of them are the same way.

memphis completely blew miami out last year on the road and again this year at home and they actually know how to pass the ball and rebound. we all know about the spurs, the suns gung-ho style of play and mobile big-men like plumee and excellent ball-movement and 3pt shooting would had at least been entertaining, we all know about the clippers when it comes to cp3-griffin-jordan, and they also have shooters to spread the floor and play great inside and out and can rebound well, as well as houston with dwight howard and james harden.

and as i say this, both mark jackson and jvg say that all the teams eliminated in the first round in the west could had beaten the pacers, which is most definitely true.

[Derka]

First non-Celtics/Lakers franchise to do so. Those franchises in are a class of their own so.... :banana:

Grudgingly agree completely.

[Derka]

They're playing in a historically weak conference... and playing in the weakest era for bigs ever...and in the weakest era for superstars though.

And since absolutely none of that is within their control, none of it matters in the slightest.

[plowking]

colluding in the weakest conference era ever

not impressed

I bet you were impressed by Magic and Kareem's Lakers though, right?

You know the ones that beat the 36 win Sonics in the first round, 42 win Blazers in the 2nd, and then 52 win Nuggets in the WCF's in 84-85?
Or was it the year before that you were impressed by, where they beat the 38 win Kings, the 43 win Mavs, and the 41 win Suns to get there?
No, wait, it must be 82-83, the year before that, where they beat the 46 win Blazers and 53 win Spurs to get to the finals in 2 rounds?
Or, let me guess, it was the 81-82 season, where they beat the powerhouse Suns and Spurs with their beastly 46 and 48 win records. Must be hard playing those two teams to get to the finals. Again, another grueling 2 series' to get to the finals.


Heat have it so damn easy getting to the finals. Nothing like what the Lakers had to go through back then.

You mean it might be a long time before another player primed for GOATness stacks the deck in order to ride the coattails of 3-4 future HOF-ers?

I was, and still am a huge fan of the way LeBron plays this game we all love so much. It pains me though, to think how incredible he could've been by rising up from failure, licking his wounds, and truly working on his game from a young age instead of relying on his otherworldly athleticism and letting his beta personality take over.

Enjoy the rings, Champ

[talkingconch]

It was kind of expected. impressive though

I gotta applaud lebron and bosh for this. Miami was their best decision. They knew they had NO competition other than the Celtics who tried to deplete them in some playoff series years ago but other than that after Rose's injury, there is absolutely NO chance of any competition for them out in the East.

And when you can sit lebron and have Wade go off AND have guys like Ray Allen go lights out for 3...its impressive.

They will be a dynasty but Lebron James wont change much in my book he'll come closer to one of the best all time but not by much yet. The route he took still plagues his career

[Bobcats2013]

Shaq has to kiss Spoelstra's feet on fear factor, with cheese on it. Someone has to tell TNT about this right away.

[Ancient Legend]

Rashard has contributed greatly on both ends of the floor. They will need his size and defense against whoever comes out of the West.

Wade has been phenomenal, he's been hitting that mid range J consistently and that little 8 foot hook shot always goes in. Could almost swear he's a better FT shooter these playoffs percentage wise. And his help defense has been spectacular.

I hope LeBron has now realized that he can be aggressive from the start and not necessarily wait for his teammates to get going.

You're so right.

Come to think, Magic should have played it smart like D-Wade and recruited Jordan to play with him.

Too bad Jordan's a true winner, unlike your self crowned King.

[plowking]

Or like how Magic said he wouldn't play pro, unless he got to play with Kareem?

Guess Magic and Lebron are both losers. History certainly remembers Magic as so. Look at all the shitty teams he played to get to each of those finals. I mean, that's all people talk about these days. They certainly don't mention all his championships.

[All Net]

Very impressive feat no matter who they faced.
