I'm actually surprised he got 5 games. I thought it would 2, maybe 3.

I'm glad the league is taking a stance.

Seeing the Lakers fall apart was the best thing in sports this year. That is, until the Heat beat the Celtics and go on to win the title. Haters gonna hate.

Sounds like something sq_crazies would say...

Unless Dallas doesn't make the Finals, the Heat won't beat them (unless the refs continue to assist Miami).

Refs assisting Miami? Link??

Assisting the Heat? Don't let your hate for LeBron blind you, the Celtics get more calls than anyone--and that's been the case against the Heat too. The Heat can't beat the Mavs? That's funny.

They "can" but they "won't" unless Stern dictates it, SQ.

How long before people start bashing you before you go into "exile" again, LOL.

You can beat the horse as long as you want, neither hiatus that I've made from this site has been influenced by "bashing". If you want to credit yourself with that and chalk it up to your resume, that's fine. I don't care.

And just so everyone knows, I changed my name because I can't log back on to SQ and this is the only other name I've had on this site.

sounds like capwned. Nice to know that you have that in common.

Wont take long.

The Wizards should have kept going with their changes. "Wizards" is a terrible name. Should change back to Bullets

I'm not taking credit for anything. Everyone else handled you just fine. I figured you'd be back but only if the CHeat won the championship.

And you're joking about your "hiatus" after your epic "Celtics meltdown" prediction you went into hiding. Can't remember if you had a meltdown on THAT one but I'm pretty sure you got pretty "melty" before, grabbed your ball and went home.

Least I can log into my username (lol see what I did there? I made fun of your idiotic "least I can get a GF comment"). Had to explain it or else it would have gone over his head.

I'm not hating on the Heat, but the Mavericks just CLOWNSTOMPED the defending champs. They are looking damn near unbeatable, so I agree with BR, they won't beat the Mavs unless the refs do it for them.

Don't think a change back to Bullets is possible. Didn't they change it due to pressure from anti violence groups?

Dallas is easily the most impressive team so far in the second round, but they did struggle a little bit against Portland in round 1. Its all about matchups.

After the Gilbert Arenas fiasco, probably not the best choice of names.

I think Dallas' role players/bench is what will put them over the top. If Miami doesn't get at least 20 points from the Three Dildos they don't have a snowball's chance unless one of their bench guys or Bibby goes off.

Maybe he's Capone with that log in problem and all?

CHeat? That's funny, how did they cheat?

Anyways, I understand how internet forums work, I won't bother telling my side of the story and I'll let you assume what you want. I don't know why you're still talking about it, like I said I DON'T CARE. I was gone for reasons much more important than any of you, don't flatter yourselves.

So basically you're saying that if the Heat go on and win it, you're going to say they won because of the officials regardless of whether or not that is true?

And so everyone knows where I stand, I'm worried about game 5, that's it.

And YES, the Lakers did have the exact type of collapse that I was predicting for the Celtics (yes I was wrong, doesn't mean it still wasn't all taken wayyyyy out of context and misunderstood) and JJ Barea was the reason I said something about hoping the C's didn't play the Cavs last year. I thought they'd go out like that when the door was closing on them. Now, I don't, they're a different team (no Sheed, KG is has calmed down). But I have to say, it brought me great joy to watch the Lakers fall apart and when Bynum pulled his stunt I almost pissed I was so giddy.

Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying. Only a blind cHeat fan would not see the overwhelming referee bias that's been given to them this entire post season.

The unfortunate thing is that the ghey guy filming the commercials also focuses on the wrong parts. Camera spends way too much time close up on the geeky guys involved, while the hot chick gets about 1-2 close-up shots and the rest is either from a distance so the geeky guy also is in the shot. SMH...
