    Heat cry and celebrate because they won a second round series? Mavs acted like it was no big deal when they beat the champs.

    Bron with 10pts in the last 2 mins. Outscored Boston 10-0 down the stretch. Miami wins by 10.

    Sick performance.

    I think Chicago/Atlanta either one has a great chance vs heat in a 7 game series. Both teams have PG's/C's who should be able to take advantage of the heat and great defenders for Lebron/wade.

    Shaq is possibly done forever. (He's been done for awhile now, but this is probably going to be official)

    I hope so, Rhal. I hope so. At this point, I think the only team that can do it is Dallas.

    Really excited to see Memphis/OKC. If Westbrook gets more people involved in crunch time I think OKC can get game 5, if not then he better be on fire or there going down.

    It's gotta be. Who wants to pay him to play basketball next season? It's over. Retire.

    I'd rather not see the Heat play Dal unless Butler is back. I think Dal is gonna beat them if they end up in the finals together but I can't help but thinking a few Dal players are gonna get suspended again and it'll hand the series to the heat.

    Its Shaq anyone who is a contender that needs a big man for 15m a night will still take him. I think the big problem is that the celtics wanted him to play over 25m a night in the playoffs, he is just to big and old for that now.

    That just closed the door of the Celtic's chances of ever winning another championship for a while. Same goes for the Lakers and Spurs too. All these new and younger teams will takeover.

    Dude. He couldn't even play 1 minute when it mattered. He is useless at this point in his career. Couldn't help Cs cuz he couldn't play. KG might as well retire too while we're at it. The Celtics' window is shut.

    Def closed for Spurs and Cs but Lakers still have some talent that could bring in some players to help them contend again in a few years. I hope not though.

    Nate Robinson's career has came down to cheerleading in OKC.

    I highly doubt it. Especially with no PJax.
