A NY newspaper has "1 DOWN, 7 TO GO" on tomorrow's cover. Stay classy, New York.

A year and a half ago I was hopeful people would eventually be informed LeBron was talking about titles he's motivated to win, not what he will win. I'm amazed this correction hasn't been made more fervently.

Yeah, still cant believe people took that comment seriously.

I have a feeling folks are going to be calling for Brooks head, which pisses me the hell off. He made mistakes, but so did Spo last year. He's a good coach, no doubt. You can't do what they did to SA without good coaching.



Looking at Savannah wearing her Heat hat, I just had another "HOLY SHIT WE HAVE LEBRON JAMES" moment, remembering her initially being reluctant to come down to Miami. So awesome to have one of those moments after he's won an MVP here and most importantly, the chip.

Remember how Dampier partied with the Mavs last year? Would be awesome if DQ showed up at LIV. I actually cheered when he hit that garbage time layup.

The playoffs are so fun. Getting to see the stylistic differences really play out is what basketball is all about. Against Boston we could barely get in the lane off pick-and-rolls. Against OKC it was often easy. Our O went from criminally ugly to relatively smooth in two series. This series slightly reminded me of Chicago last year, minus their sick D, plus one more legit offensive player (or whatever you'd call Harden); withstood a hot team led by a young core's first punch and did just enough to win the next four.

New York took as many games as OKC. WTF. (Obviously a harder series though. Good show, Thunder.)

I just remember moments like jumping up and down in my living room the 2nd game of the season when we barely beat Charlotte. Now this. So nuts. No way I can sleep right now.

Might be the first time in history a fanbase has largely traded a perennial All-Star several times in a season, followed by one of its two HoF'ers at least once.

It's pretty rare in sports that a team expected to win it all (or most of the) season does it. Maybe we became an afterthought at the right time. Funny that despite being the most "expected" team to win a championship in the league, most of us here thought we were a worse team most of the season than last year, despite LeBron's brilliance.

Speaking of him, in the grand scheme of NBA history, we're such a small group that will have gotten to passionately and locally root for this team this insane season. A chaotic run with an all-time great putting up an all-time season in many different ways.


Both championships were won in 23 games...



Did the Wiz retire #23? Yeah, right?


Can't forget to give Spo props. I think just about all of us called for his head at one point this season, Smithian's defection blew my mind. I still disagree with some of his choices and think in some ways we *may've* won in spite of some of choices.

Speaking of things we won in spite of, even though I still hate the way he's played at many times throughout these past few seasons, I can't be mad at Dwyane. Its no excuse to not play intelligently or with unbridled heart at times, but he delivered our first championship in best-Finals-performance-ever fashion by metric, and most recently is mostly responsible for putting this team together. That counts for something.

Just random thoughts as I watch Mike and Mike while trying to splice in 790...its funny now everyone's finally praising Dwyane for being willing to allow a better player to take his spot. The lack-of-competitiveness argument has flamed out.

OH GOD YES. 790 is playing Dan's original rant. SO AWESOME AGAIN!




As much as this was supposed to be the "Dream Team" and LeBron would have less of a load, coupled with how much Dwyane did for us to win in '06, does anyone else feel like LeBron had to do much more for us all season long than Dwyane...even just in the playoffs. I don't feel like LeBron was any less great than he would've been had he stayed one-manning it in Cleveland, he just probably would't have won.

While thinking how much less stressful my days will be this summer, I just realized how much less stress and pressure there is on next regular season games, unlike this year. We don't have to worry as much about losses to Milwaukee or no. 1 seed. I'll still go nuts over Wario moments or Derrick Staffords, but there won't be the "this team can't win a championship" cloud hovering over every miss-step. I'd hoped to shit that '06 team would win a chip, and knew it was possible, but it wasn't expected or as big of a bust if not accomplished.

Alright, I think this post is long enough.

I'm stuck reading through Twitter and listening to radio/watching Mike and Mike. Can't stop the stream of media...

I work at 5 tonight, might not sleep. I didn't sleep when Bosh and Wade announced their intent to sign at like 6AM.
