you want people to respect your opinion when you say things like, "It would be in the NBA's best interest for the Heat to lose."


does not compute.

If you don't think guarding a polished post player is harder than guarding Granger on the wing, you are fricking stupid.


Guy must not be watching the games. Fighting West for position while trying to front him is significantly different than guarding Granger on the perimeter.

I think it's in the best interest of the league to promote their biggest star in one of their biggest markets.

The best possible outcome for the NBA is for lebron to choke and the thunder win the finals. No question about it.

I can see that, but if the Thunder win, they will get just as much interest, because it seems like everyone likes KD, not the same can be said for Lebron.

Not to mention people think OKC built their team the "right way" I.e. sucking dick for a few years to get really good picks in the draft

But, the NBA/sports media could make a huge deal out of either one winning IMO.

Why would that matter to him, he read something (probably out of context) that he thought was a perfect opportunity to take a shot at Lebron. Had anyone else said it, this wouldn't be a thread and that should say something

David West isn't bigger than him and is not a banger. Playing a little help D on Hilbert for a few minutes a game can't be that bad


Did you watch the game?

If so, did you NOT see a huge difference between guarding Granger and guarding West?

Really?

I think it's blatantly obviously the league is tilting it in Miami's favor. If any of you Bron fans try to claim that Wade's push last night shouldn't have been an ejection, you're in on the bandwagon way too deep.

You think Griffin, Kobe, or Durant get suspended for that? The NBA has always promoted its superstars and big market teams.

So he's already bitching about playing power forward now? Did Magic Johnson ever bitch about playing all five positions? (There's a joke in there somewhere.)




I will say this again.............LeBron= WAY OVERATED. The Pacers will win this series.

I'm really surprised they only showed the replay twice and they were both terrible angles, the only thing you saw really was Collison flying. I don't have a problem with him being ejected. A suspension is unwarranted IMO, just because it's the playoffs.

For a superstar to get suspended in the playoffs they basically have to shite on a ref. The NBA doesn't want to hurt their own product in the most important part of their money making season.

No shite its tougher guarding West than Granger. But it isn't like he is guarding Charles Oakley. He should just man up and accept his role for the series. He's giving himself an out.

Well first of all, Kobe and Durant probably wouldn't have done that in the first place, but that's not the point.

You're right, they wouldn't call it on the top 5-6 players, but I guarantee that's an ejection for any member of the pacers.
