LeBron: 30.5p, 9.7r, 3a (this year) Dirk: 27.7p, 8.1r, 2.5a (last year) LeBron's a better player: let's not argue that. But who was the more influential player/had the better playoff run? I'm leaning towards Dirk, but I'm sure I'll get howled down for that. The Mavs had one of the most incredible Playoff runs that I can remember. Dirk was so ridiculously clutch in all the games he played during that. What's your vote? I think your averages are off. LeBron had 28.5, 10.2 and 7.4 in 5 Dirk Had 26.0, 9.7 and 2.0 in 6 I am going to have to go with LeBron just because Dirk was never under constant media pressure like LeBron has been ever since he joined Miami. | ||

Played out of their mind. Getting Shaq like free throw attemps and playing the weak eastern conference. How far do they get if they play OKC playoff schedule? second round maybe third but not champs. SORRY just bitter OKC let this tittle slip away, Scott Brooks pissed me off this series after out coaching POP, how do you let spo out coach you he doesn't even have to be there. A cat could have been the head coach of the Heat and they still would have won. | ||

A cat could have been the head coach of the Heat and they still would have won. Really now, you're saying Erik Spoelstra is a terrible coach? I understand that you're upset because the Thunder lost but you're letting your emotions get the better of your judgement. Spo understood his players' strengths very well this series and picked the right times to play them. The role players really stepped it up (Chalmers, Battier, Miller) and Spo definitely deserves credit for managing their minutes efficiently. Not to mention the trust he put in a rookie like Norris Cole who gave them valuable minutes. You really can't blame Scott Brooks for the Thunder losing even though he did make some questionable decisions. No matter what anyone says, the outcome of the game ultimately depends on the players, not the coach. | ||

The east was sad this year in the playoffs injuries all over the place. | ||

Definitely the Lakers and Mavs. If the Spurs played as sorry as they did against OKC, which isn't a stretch considering Miami is leagues better than OKC in defense, then yeah. I mean you talk about injuries but Miami was missing Bosh for a series and a half and there's this Mike Miller guy etc etc. The Heat just stomped the best team in the west 4-1 and you're saying they would've lost, for sure, to these teams that OKC beat? You kidding me? I know the transitive property doesn't apply, but the Heat are better than every team in the West. | ||

You kidding me? Come on Bosh out for a series and a half and they beat Lakers or the Spurs is a joke. East was crippled, and pushed Miami close to elimination. OKC made to many mistake and were frustrated with the officating. Miami stole this | ||

Like, seriously, look at Lebron's numbers these playoffs -- Averaging over 30 points and 10 boards and 5 assists. Now imagine if he got to play against the powderpuff Western conference defenses instead of the damn Celtics and Pacers. I seriously cannot believe someone is saying this. You are talking like every stereotype of a bitter fan. You've blamed refs, scheduling, and even used the fact that OKC played worse (IE: OKC made too many mistakes) as an indictment of the Heat. edit: I'm done. Let someone else talk some sense into you because it's 4 AM for me and I'm not gonna waste my morning convincing someone who's just making stuff up and postulating out of his rear. | ||

Powder puff west 10-3 in the last 13 years. OKC was definitely frustrated by the calls, Scott Brooks choked in the finals and so did James Harden yet they still could have won. Again Heat don't get a ring if they play in the west the east has been a joke since MJ. | ||
