Matter of fact Lebron himself has shot (33) nearly double the Ft's of Pierce and Rondo. Wade and lebron have shot more Ft's than the entire starting line-up of the Celtics and they have shot as many Ft's as the entire Celtic team in the 2 games. But go ahead and keep spinning your bandwagon support of the Heat.
Now cue one of your 2 typical, cute, little catch phrases.
I assume you haven't watched much of the series. Look at pierce and rondo's shot charts from game 2. Pierce took two shots in the paint, rondo a few more but was also shooting wide open jumpers all night because Miami was playing off of him. 10/12 on jumpers plus he shot 12 free throws which is up from 3.4 in regular season and 2.7 in the playoffs. I fully admit they missed the call when he got hit in the face, but other than that he got to the line much more often than he normally does. Should the refs just put Boston on the line so the numbers are more even?

Quit using facts in your rebuttals.....that is not necessary on here.
Devil > LeBron
Sports are a lot more enjoyable if you are rooting for a team to win and not for a team to lose.
Butt hurt seems to be the trendy expression on here. No one is more butt hurt than the people adamantly rooting against everything LeBron. Don't worry....John Elway and Edgar Renteria still love you.

Name one team I've jumped on the bandwagon. I'll be on the edge of my seat. (there is one answer).....although I've liked them since the early 90's due to their players then and their owner and players now.
And I'm enjoying the NBA Playoffs while you guys are getting your BP sky high because the Heat are getting some calls at home in the playoffs. Of the 4 teams left I'd prefer the Celtics not win but no biggee....if they do they'll have earned it....I'll just turn the channel when Garnett tries to say words for 10 minutes after they win (not really my thing)

For the nth time.
Born in 1974.....in the 1982-1983 timeframe started watching sports a good bit. Living 110 miles from Riverfront we made it to a few games and my grandma and grandpa listened to every game on the radio via Marty and Joe. Living where I live the Reds need not be defended.
Steelers? Well living in Jackson Ohio you get Huntington WV local tv stations.....and Huntington CBS always shows the Steelers as much of their viewing area is composed of Steelers fans. I never got to watch the Bengals and didn't know much of them until we finally starting also getting Columbus local channels when I was about 14. Growing up when I did....where I live everyone liked the Steelers or the Browns? Why the Browns....well apparently it was bandwagon central as the Browns were quite good in the mid 80's.......few Bengals fans.
To this day even on DISH I get very few Bengals/Browns games.....Huntington shows Steelers/Ravens
Fan since age 8. Haven't left either team.

Does a bandwagoner only have one team his entire rooting life? 29 consecutive years of the same two teams. We may need a dictionary.

Guys, we all know that I am a Lebron hater, but lets quit riding people's asses just because they are fans of his or whatever. We are two pages in with nothing but arguing. Just because they see it from a different angle....doesn't make them asshats. It would be different if they were throwing shit out there on the Cavs thread just trying to piss people off, but this is the playoff thread so let's ease up. I don't really wanna go back and mod this last pissing match, so lets just start over. Thanks.

SMH ppl just don't get it. Doesn't matter how long you've been a bandwagoner, or when you developed the bandwagonism. Regardless you like two teams from two different cities (one out of state) thus you're a bandwagoner. You should be a bengals fan.
