ECF Thread: Heat vs Pistons [Heat win series, 4-2]

[Matt]

I can't wait for the finals to begin.Who cares if they are at 3.00 a.m. here in Slovenia.I'm still gonna watch them.

i kind of miss being in Europe and waking up 3am to watch the Finals...that was awesome!!!!

@Matt Where have you been in Europe and where have you watched the games?

OT:
Well, I don't think the Pistons played much worse as in the regular season. They were only a little off role. But I think the major factor was that Miami started to click. I know in the past some people said Miami is signing many aging stars to desperatly win a championship. It was doubted that they can play together. But they've proven that they're capable of doing so. Congratulations to Miami, awesome perfomance even without Wade playing on his high level.

Now I really hope to see Phoenix in the finals as well. I think it would be amazing to watch their run&gun style against a team like the Heat.

This is exactly why, even though I live in Detroit, I have to root against the Pistons. The city is filled with fairweather fans who don't know squat about basketball.

Matt lives in Perth, which isn't too close to Detroit.

I know, which is why I said it wasn't specific to him but rather was directed at the so called Pistons fans whose loyalty changes according to the team's success and who I happen to see everyday.

Ah, now the Pistons...what can i say...oh um this...i had to dig deep for it too

Most likley Flip Saunders is gonna come coach over here and i like flip but im sure T-Wolves fans can relate to this more then me but if you look in Larry Browns eyes in a game 7 you see confidence, if you look in FLip Saunders eyes in a game 7 you see a scared, nervous coach...

Which was one of the sillier comments made on July 19th, 2005 probably. Considering Saunders had coached in exactly ONE game seven at that point in his career and his team had won. And when he got his second game seven this year, his team also won. Saunders is now 2-0 in game sevens.

Shep's post is one of the more hilarious overreactions I've seen.
