If by everyone you mean Heat "fans", yes.

I would be willing to bet the general public, if they had to choose, would take anyone over the Heat.

Doubtful. Because nobody wants to see the sixers or pacers in the finals. And a lot of people hate Miami. Probably just at many hate Boston. I hate Boston much much more.

I hate Boston more than anyone, but I would rather them play in the Finals than Bron have a chance to get a ring.

Eh I'd think people would much rather watch Miami than Boston or Indiana.

I don't care who makes the Finals, but I'd prefer it to not be Miami.

I think a Boston - SA series is intriguing.

I picked OKC - Miami in the preseason though.

I would think true basketball fans would appreciate a Boston - SA series honestly. Fundamental team basketball.

True, but it would just lack the star power of a Miami vs OKC match up. Durant vs Lebron, Dwade and Westbrook.

I'll take Boston or Indiana over the Heat.

Fuck the Heat, who roots for the best team to win? Do you want the Yankees to win another world series? Do you want the SEC to win another college football title? Do you want the Steelers to win another Super Bowl?

They went inside to Hibbert? Are they allowed to do that?

Duncan vs KG

Allen vs Manu

Rondo vs Parker

Plus two very good benches.

I get your point but they still aren't as big of stars as the 4 I mentioned.

Those are the fouls that piss me off.

I wish the NBA had an intentional foul rule. Maybe similar to a T, 1 and the ball?

Obsessed much?

Miami isn't the best team. You guys want either the best team or Boston to win a title.

I'm very obsessed with you Karen. I love how you've followed me around various threads and posted 1 word posts to troll me. It turns me on Mrs. Karen.

That pass was just special, the ability to see that and be aware of where your teammate is. I always say that passing is the most underrated part of the game.
