So much for the NBA being fixed. Nobody had the Bulls winning tonight. The script was Miami wins 2 and goes back to Chicago tied. They are done now.


Anyone who says the NBA is fixed really has no clue at all. None. I will not waste another word on this.

It's not fixed but when you get deep into the playoffs they hate to see a 4-0 or 4-1 series - and last year the Heat were down 0-3 if not for the refs - it is quite obvious the Heat were a complete fluke and their championship means about as much as the Steelers' rings.

The Heat won the championship because of the refs? Puh-lease. How about considering the fact that they flat out kicked their asses the last 3 games of the series?

Dude, there was NOTHING fluke about it. THey won the East easy and manhandled the Pistons. Against Dallas They won game 6 straight up. Why couldn't Dallas go home and win 2 straight and win it all? They couldn't. I agree Dallas was the better team but they didn't get it done. I bet Dallas last year and was pissed. Miami got lucky in the finals and sometimes Champs need a little luck. Wade was out of his mind.

They won the east? Bid deal - they got there by default and then instead of being down 0-3 and on the verge of being swept - well, go watch the final 2 minutes of game 3.

The Heat were a complete, total and utter fluke - have the Spurs every done this, how about the Lakers or even Detroit? The Heat just got swept in the first round to a middle of the road playoff team - this equals fluke - they will never win again - EVER! - and I consider eastern conference basketball just above top high school talent.

Dwade is 50% of the player he was before his injuries.

I don't think the Heat was the best team around last year, but they werent a fluke.

If you gave Lebron, Kobe, or Jordan one arm, their team wouldnt win either.

They were different teams. You cannot compare last years team to this year. Apples and oranges. Wade is hurt. Regardless, they are different teams and different scenarios. What if Dallas loses to GS? Were they a fluke? I watched that final 2 minutes like everyone else. That stuff happens. In 1984 Celts lose game 1 at home to lakers and should have lost game 2 at home but stole it in OT. Should have been down 0-2 at home BUT... Go on to win the series. Same idea. Lakers let em off the hook and Celts took advantage. Dallas let em off the hook and still had a chance but failed. Get over it.

Yet the East seems to keep winning titles... huh? Funny how that works....

I'm sure you'll come back and tell me that is because the West beat each other up haha...

Last time I checked the Bulls were one game away from being the second best team in the East and I would say they clearly are the second best team in the East, maybe the best. But they are middle of the road. It isn't often that everything someone says in a post is wrong but you might have qualified

You don't win 4 games in a row by luck

What titles? SA and the Lakers have all the rings - 2 titles in how many years?

Obviously, the Heat are a one man gang - and Wade is hurt - the rest of the team is shit and Shaq's career ended a couple of years ago.

Well the Heat have won 2 of the last three years... and honestly could have easily won the last 3 years...

So 2 of the last 3 champions have been from the lowly East

The Heat won twice? What did I miss?

By that standard they won last year so they win at a 100% clip - great reasoning - the east have 2 rings since the 1998 season - and the teams they have sent to the finals are typically a disgrace and there by default - like the 76'ers and Nets who both had no chance whatsoever of winning.

No the Pistons won one, and the Heat won one... So the terrible East that everyone has talked about the last three years have won 2 of the three titles.
Pistons dominated the Lakers. Just owned them, even in the one game they lost on Kobe's miracle shot.

The 6th seeded Nugs and 8th seeded Warriors would have a better chance of coming out of the east than any of the current teams do.
