anyone who thinks that there are more heat trolls than lakers trolls on this forum is clearly biased. the worst threads on this forum are made by 2 lakers trolls name ripthekik and kennethgriffin. that guy whose name started with "sik" got banned. he was the only one giving these 2 any competition.

Just out of curiosity, when did you first start supporting the Heat?

[QUOTE=poido123]Just out of curiosity, when did you first start supporting the Heat?[/QUOTE]
I started supporting Heat as my team in the east in february this year. Is there a problem if i do it for the right reason like their ball movement, their team chemistry etc.?
I supported celtics in the east last year because Heat had a lot of talent and were still not playing great as a team while celtics were doing their best.

I have been a spurs fan since 98 but the only reason i have stuck by them is because even when they haven't done well in post season, they have tried to play team-ball.I don't give a [B]f[/B]uck about bandwagon fans as long as they are supporting the team for the right reasons.

No team in the league cares about being loyal to the fans. why should fans be the only ones being loyal to teams that are privately owned?

Oh man, how could I forget that douche Sikktheshocker :facepalm

The Laker fans have a few trolls, but that is to be expected since they have a large fanbase. I have had some run-ins with some Laker trolls or Kobe fanatics, but their diehard fans are some of the best posters on ISH...

Just stick to a team man. Much more rewarding watching your franchise have its highs and lows, then seeing them have success along the way...

Look, I can't agree with the decisions your making, but it's your choice. I would of stuck with the Spurs if I were you. They are a good franchise and will always be well run...Jumping to the Heat is nothing new

lol.. this guy cheer for whoever is playing well, then jumps ships as soon as they suck.

This guy needs to fill out the bandwagoner form. He has a lot of experience on his resume :applause:

Heat is my team in the east. i will still support spurs if they face heat in the finals but i don't support spurs because of all that "fan loyalty" bullshit sports fans come up with to feel better about themselves. i have supported spurs because i like watching them play and i like their team ball play style.

read the comment above you idiot and i wouldn't care if i wasn't supporting spurs. if i was choosing teams based on players then it would be wrong but i am choosing teams based on their game play.

I have been a spurs fan since 98 which is longer than you have been hating lebron. i know you don't like basketball, the only thing you like is hating lebron. Not only that, i fly to the US from india/Aus every year to watch a few spurs game and yet i don't brag about it as much as you brag about hating lebron.

[QUOTE=Le Shaqtus]There's no REAL Heat fans here besides 2 or 3 posters.[/QUOTE]
This, there's like 2-3 MAX that have registration dates before Jul 2010.

The join date doesn't mean anything to me. I'm not a bandwagon fan because of my join date. The April posters did not become fans in April. Through all the trolls that every fan base has, there are a few good quality posters. The Heat fan base on ISH is horrible, but down here we are quite classy and supportive. At least the people I'm around are. We've gone to a lot of games long before the Big 3, but I understand the casual Miami crowd is fickle.

[QUOTE=FiveRings]I'm guessing it's because the Knicks are a trash team and it's fun to laugh at Melo the career loser.

[B][B]It's even more fun to laugh at this team because Knicks fans have been the cockiest fans on this board and comletely overlooked this Indiana team[/B][/B] that is now going to crush them in 5 games. Even this years shit Lakers team would have beaten a Melo lead Knicks team in the playoffs if they were in the East and Kobe was healthy :lol

I'd probably even take Chris Bosh as first option on a team over Melo. At least he would shoot about ten percentage points higher :lol[/QUOTE]
And now they're all mad at me for pointing this out, lol...I'm like, this can't be news to Knicks fans can it?

But this is what I see...I don't think the Heat fanbase is that bad...Last year during the playoffs, they were almost unbearable but like someone else mentioned, they do have the best player in the league and the best team, they are a bit justified. Lakers have a ton of trolls to but guys like 9erempire make the rest of them look a lot worse than they are...

[QUOTE=Dro]And now they're all mad at me for pointing this out, lol...I'm like, this can't be news to Knicks fans can it?[/QUOTE]
Yeah. It's hilarious how they saw Melo go on a hot shooting streak and all of a sudden thought at his age he had become a much improved player, when these playoffs have made it crystal clear that he's still the same one dimensional career loser he's always been.

It's understandable that Knicks fans are upset right now, since they thought they had such a bright future, when it is now clear that they've got nothing but mediocrity ahead of them as long as Carmelo is on the team. New York Knicks are not a top 8 team in the league. When healthy, these teams are all better..

Heat
Thunder
Spurs
Bulls
Grizzlies
Pacers
Warriors
Clippers
Celtics
Rockets

Wait.. maybe I overrated them by calling them top 8. In an entirely healthy league, the Knicks are a borderline top ten to eleven team.

And Knicks fans were taunting Heat fans asking them if they are scared :lol Now they're gonna get smoked by Indiana and of course blame the refs for loosing them the series.

If bandwagoners want to bandwagon, let them. It only takes away from their experience.

What made last year so special to me was that I was around for the 15-67 season, the years where our starting frontcourt was Yakhouba Diawara, Joel Anthony and Michael Beasley, and Wade singlehandedly carried us to the playoffs two years in a row. For those that jumped on when the Heat became great, they will never have the same feeling of happiness and accomplishment that the real fans had.

Just because there are a lot of bandwagon Heat fans does not mean we are all that way.

I believe you for this, it can be said for all fans except when it comes to the Knicks.

And it's people like you that we all respect. The reason I put 'fans' in inverted commas was only to show the bandwagon side of it. Wasn't so much that they bandwagoned, they just go into other threads and ruin anyone that doesn't talk about Lebron.

I understand completely. There are tons of Heat fans that make me sick, because they weren't there for the years when it wasn't all sunshine and happiness. But that's what makes the experience so unfulfilling for them.

There are lots of trolls in general here. It's impossible to have a discussion with some kind of agenda or bias. That's why I rarely post - I have a low postcount but I constantly lurk. It's because by posting, more often than not you get involved in an argument with a troll rather than having a real basketball discussion.

I have two friends in real life who are huge basketball fans. They are fans of the Lakers and Knicks, respectively. I constantly have legitimate basketball discussions with them, with no arguing or agendas - if we disagree with eachother, we try and understand where the other is coming from, since the Knick fan would know more about Melo than I would, and vise versa. That's how ISH SHOULD be.

I love ISH, but it is a shithole.

The Marion for O'Neal trade turned out to be great for the Heat. Got to save all that cap money to get LeBron and Bosh.

[QUOTE=Legends66NBA7]The Marion for O'Neal trade turned out to be great for the Heat. Got to save all that cap money to get LeBron and Bosh.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that was a great trade. Jermaine stunk it up in the playoffs, but like you said, his contract expired at a perfect time. It also allowed us to get rid of Marcus Banks, an awful contract.

I remember off season of 2008 the Heat were considering giving Marion a huge extension... I was saying nooooo at the time, because my ideal scenario for 2010 was Bosh and a good complementary piece, like Randy Foye. Seriously. That's why when LeBron signed, it was so amazing - it completely exceeded our expectations.

To me a Heat "fan" is someone who likes the Heat and whose allegience is not tied to Wade or Lebron. If your allegience to the Heat will wane when either is gone, you are not a Heat fan, you are a Wade or Lebron fan rooting for the team they are on.

Heat "fans" in general are a joke because 95% of them fall into the Wade/Lebron fanboy category. The real fans who love the team and just struck gold, you know who you are. But there aren't that many.

I was making game threads as soon as I joined. Wade is my favorite player.

Look for them if you dont believe:cheers:

Honest question, why do you think people outside NewYork are Knicks fans? What made them choose this team?

The city? The colours? High tolerance for pain and mockery? Central Park? The owner? The players?

When i look at some comments on this site it feels like certain posters were born in a Lakers, Bulls, Celtics or Knicks jersey. Guess what, you werent, most of you are hypocrites who drooled over some players and decided that was the team you cheered for. How many "laker" fans are on this board? Can anyone name a reason why they are so many?

Guess what, today's april 13 were last years whatever 12, two years ago "whatever" 11 and so on. This with the join date has got to be the most idiotic thing on the internet.

I became a Heat fan in 06. Excuse me cause i chose the Heat and not the ****ing Raptors. I stood with the Heat since then.

Niko, i know where you're getting at, but dont come here and pretend you wouldnt have your ***** wet if Lebron chose the Knicks.

Oh, and im sure New York gained a fan or two when Melo signed for the Knicks. I must have missed where you called them out, you pure race fan, you :oldlol: .
