For the Lebron haters...

[Tre4ISU]

The season being shortened was a huge factor. Look at all the injuries. Howard, Rose out. The stars were aligned for Lebron to get his ring. Won't be nearly as easy in the future, especially if Howard gets traded to a team that's already a contender.

When were those guys injured and what were their injuries again? You can say the injuries helped but saying it was because of a shortened season is bunk. Also, Bosh was hurt and the Heat managed. Wade has been banged up. Out of all those guys, this season should have been the hardest on Wade.

LeBron gets no respect from me until he wins a championship in a full length season. This years championship gets an asterisk next to it. Congrats LeBrick.

The first sign of a lack of wit-Making up "nicknames" based on a version of the real name. It's an old tired game and very few approach anything clever. Also, your asterisk is junk.

Last time I checked it was a full playoff field requiring 16 wins to hoist the trophy. Assuming Miami does run away with the championship next year, I figure you'll just find another reason to be a hater.

By the way, if you're calling a guy that outright dominated these playoffs "LeBrick", I guess that means you have to call the other guy Kevin "Durdn't Show Up When It Mattered Most"...

After this years playoffs and Finals...Lebron was gained a little bit of my respect. JUST A LITTLE. He played fantastic in this years playoffs without being arrogant. If Lebron wins a couple more rings then he will gain all of my respect.

The Heat are going to rule the East for at lest the next five years, there isn't a serious challenger in that conference. Wade's injury helped the Heat find their identity. Running everything through LeBron - in the high post, on the block, dribble drives is going to open up their offense so much. They are going to have shooters (Ray Allen) just lining up for a chance to play with them. Plus if Miller ever gets healthy we've seen what he can do.

Howard, Rose, Melo, no one is going to touch Miami for a long time.

Teams rise and fall pretty quickly in the NBA, while it looks like Miami should own the East for 5 years, a lot changes in just 2 years.
