Question. If person A is not a Heat fan, but would like the Heat to win, and person B is not an OKC fan, but want OKC to win... Are they they same? Or is person A a bandwagon fan? Pls be srs.

Person A is most likely your LeBron James dick suckers. Person B is most likely your casual NBA fan

No.

This bandwagon discussion is retarded...but people keep bringing it up even though me and other mods have nicely asked you to take it to the basement.

Also, the Nostradamus post makes no sense as to the question you are asking...smh

No, they are not the same, or no, A is not bandwagon?

If Cleveland/Anti-LeBron people are casually rooting for OKC, no.

If Seattle/anti-OKC people are rooting for Miami, no.

If LeBron "fans" or newly found Miami "fans" are rooting for Miami, Yes.

If "Durant "fans" or newly found OKC "fans" are rooting for OKC, yes.

Does that explain it for you?

Nothing wrong with that post. If your passive aggressive trolling hasn't gotten you bant yet, then hoops' post surely won't get himself bant.

I guess the red question mark is quite appropriate.

Suddenly "Not one, not two, not three … " doesn't sound so far-fetched.
Uhhh yeah it does..how many did they say they'd win? 7? 8? That's definitely far-fetched even at this point.

With the parity in the league right now, I agree.

Especially since DWade is an old 30. He's been injured quite a bit over the last few seasons.. You can't expect him to be a top performer that many years from now.

Get knocked down 8 times....get up 8 times and shoot 16 free throws.

If I was David Stern my next matter of business would be to fine players $10,000 for "flailing" their arms during offensive possessions.....or something to eliminate it. Harden was just ridiculous but virtually every player that touched the court when it mattered did the flailing of the arms or body. Just play....no one can possibly like what it has turned into.

Harden absolutely became ridiculous. He reached Wade levels with his offensive flailing. I really lost interest in his game as he WAS one of my favorite players... Things stopped going his way and he resorted to cheap tactics. We give harder fouls at the playground that go uncalled then what's given as Flagrants in the NBA.

The Euros have destroyed the game with their flopping... It's an epidemic now. I see they are going to look at penalizing floppers.

I know it won't happen, but I'd like to see the NBA take it a step further. Take a note from soccer and hold the players out for a game. One or two warnings, then you're out.

10k is pocket change for the majority of the NBA.
