Bronnie opts out...
Hope he doesn't go to the Bulls!

LeBron should go play with the Bronnies...

The Spurs won because they have a deeper bench. After the Spurs shot, what 92% from the field in the first quarter scoring 42 points, Miami got deflated. Even when Miami was shooting 59% in game 3, it still wasn't good enough. The Spurs lost a close one last year, and that's the worse kind of lose for any athlete so they wanted it more for redemption. The west has better teams overall anyway.

Since the Miami Heat got their asses raped by the Spurs.... OSFA has been MIA, is he okay?

Bosh has become an excellent 3 point shooter, and the 3 pointer is a big part of why the Spurs won. They have great long range shooters.
It might sound crazy if you dont watch the Heat a lot, but losing Mike Miller really hurt them badly. They never replaced his firepower and he was huge for them in the Finals last year. The Heat are right there if they can get a couple more good shooters and strengthen their bench, but to do it Wade really should take less money and come off the bench.

The Heat needed to utilize Bosh more.Take Bosh away from the 3 point line and use him in the post. Bosh was a 20/10 guy when he was with the Raptors, he needs to demand that attention again. Wade needs to be the third scoring option, come off the bench and check his ego.
Was really shocked to see the Heat turn into the old Cavs aka Lebron playing with 4 scrubs.

Just to recap, I said this on May 29th:
Bahahaha, no chance for the Heat even if they squeak by Pacers. Lebron will be shopping another team after this season. Jordan stuck it out with his team and made a championship team with his supporting cast, not look for another team full of all-stars. I'm not a hater, I just call it like everyone sees it.
BOO-YA Bitches!

Why is there all this talk about what Lebron should do now because they lost? I care so little, but I think it's stupid. It's media generated speculation and story creation now and that's all.
They lost AFTER winning two in a row (an infrequent feat these days) and during appearing in the finals, what, four years in a row? That they're creating a story around what he will do NOW because of this loss on top of that success is really dumb IMO.

You guys can have Melo, he's worthless.
- CygnusZero40
What happens to the Heat depends on Wade. He should come off the bench like Ginobili, and take less money if he wants more rings. But these guys have massive egos so he may not, and if thats the case and if Lebron were smart, he would opt out and go somewhere with players that are more concerned with winning than their own egos.
Or he and Melo should opt in, Knicks dump their big contracts after next season, and Lebron plays with Melo in NY for Phil. I think that would be great for the NBA, to have a great team in NY but it probably wont happen.

What a great NBA Finals!
This year seemed a lot more shortcut than previous years. Lots of series sweeps, not many upset games, and we got straight into the Finals knowing exactly who was going to end up there. As much as I pull for Lebron and Wade, I would have been upset to see Timmy D and co. begin retirement talks with back-to-back Finals losses. They deserve to go out on top after hard work, dedication and pure athleticism game after game, year after year. The Spurs' win reminds me of the Mav's win in 2011—it was their time, and they played like they knew it.
Lebron will get more rings, not sure about the rest of the Heat and what happens to this team in the coming years. I think they can hold it together with money.
Speaking of the Mavs. I wouldn't mind Melo to the Mavs. Could be an interesting team with that critical missing piece.

Lebron seems like he's kinda checked out of the NBA. He won 2 championships, just before the finals he was talking about how basketball isnt that important relative to everything else that people go through, he was laughing and high fiving guys after the game last night like it was just some meaningless pickup game, and didnt look like he could possible care any less.
Im wondering if hes just tired of the Heat. He makes the same amount as Wade, yet Wade got to sit out a quarter of the season while Lebron carried them.
- You didn't see him cry?pinkfloyd
- Miami lost because only Lebron checked inpinkfloyd
- Lol yea, cry, good one. He covered his face to act like he gives a shit but he really doesnt.CygnusZero4
- He got 2 rings, bunch of MVPs, 100s of millions in the bank. Sure looks like a guy losing motivation to care.CygnusZero4
- "He covered his face to act like he gives a shit but he really doesnt." Man you're dumbpinkfloyd

Im really shocked that the Heat couldn't put up more of a fight. The Spurs completely took them out of their game.
