Fuck Mark Cuban!

2

How about that LeBron James, huh?

(rolls eyes)

 

3 LeChoke James?

4 Sometmes things work out as they ought to. Just sayin'...

5 Umm..OK...yay?? This is great news...so exciting. Yep...I can hardly contain myself

^{Was this for the NBA champeenship???? Is it over??}

6 MAVS! DIRK!!! CUBAN....meh

7 I don't like Mark Cuban. But it does make me very happy to say that LeBron is a loser.

8 What a great night.  LeBitch loses, and now we don't have to hear about the NBA for like 15 months (except to hear all the lockout news).  Double bonus!

9 Waiting for the follow up sixty minute fiasco from ESPN and Jim Grey - called "The Hindsight Regret"

10 America - 1
Miami - 0

11 I'm packin' my bags and headin' out the door before Pat gets home!

12 How does this help Michelle's kids?

13 Where's that goddamn dog?!?

14 Did anybody bother to check to see if I even wanted his talents in the first place?

15 As an Ohioan that actually doesn't give a shit about basketball let me just say: Suck it Lebron, HAHAHA!

16 @15 the same, but we are all Quitnesses.

17 NBA basketball is my favorite sport, best athletes, most interesting dynamics.

Wish it was more popular at AoS.

18 After '08, I didn't think it was possible for a maverick to win anything.

19 LeBron? piker.

20 Woohoo!

21 LeBron is like Teh Fred

No fire in the belly.

22 I'm gonna take my ball and... ...what?

23 Spoelstra's postgame comments perfectly illustrate the Heat's problems with entitlement and sportsmanship. Have a nice off-season, playas.

24

Cardinal for MVP?  He was the enforcer for the Mavs and addressed their reputation for being soft.  He took out Wade in game 5, practically punched Bosh in game 6 and still took time off from punching opposing players to hit a couple of threes.

I love this guy.  He's like that slow, white boxer who always wears the shiny, green shorts because he's Irish.

25 The word of the day is schadenfreude.
That's what I feel for the Miami Heat.

26 LeBron is Sydney on White Men Can't Jump.

Style and hype over substance.

27 Dirk may cough, but LeBron chokes.

28

so does this mean that Mark Cuban can go back to funding films that make troops look like rapists?

seriously, my Heat choked this one up, but i'm happy to see the underdog and Dirk win. too bad my team had to lose and that douchebags Cuban and Terry get a ring.

29 17 NBA basketball is my favorite sport, best athletes, most interesting dynamics.

Wrong, so wrong.  The best all-around athletes have been proven to be Olympic wrestlers, boxers, and then professional (e.g. NHL) hockey players.

dude the Heat will be back. the only question is if Lebron's choke curse will come back to haunt them.

31 Some fans might still be bitter that LeBron ditched Cleveland, but not me! Hehehehehe!

*facepalm*

34 Gotta feel good for the Dirk.

35

oh and btw to all the Lebron haters who in turn become Heat haters, you guys might be setting yourselves up big time. look I get it that Lebron chokes and at this pace he's leaving w/ 0 titles. I myself as a Heat fan wonder if his choking habits will have the team come so close yet so far on the years to come like he did w/ the Cavs. but let's say Lebron does what Kobe did after 08. he comes back and he wins a title. then what? hate on Lebron for being...Lebron?

meh, i'm not saying I don't understand the anger/hatred of Lebron, just shocked that you folks really think he won;t be back on this stage. ask a guy who saw his team go up 2-0 and lose the Finals anyway. 5 years later he came back and won against the same team. his name? oh yeah...Dirk from the Mavs, the guy who just took down Lebron.

36

guy walks up to LeBron James and asks him if he has quarters for a dollar

LeBron says yea, reaches in his pocket and hands the guy quarters

guy looks and says "Hey, this is 75 cents "

LeBron says "Man I don't have a fourth quarter"

 

37 Ace and Stranahan are going at each other like Stevenson and Haslem over on Twitter.

38 I'd rather talk about Sarah Palin.

Wade still owns the Heat, Lebron is just another player on it

Well I actually do expect him to be back again.  And likely even win a championship or 2.  But until he does I can point and laugh.

44

Click it, pretty good.

46 I'm an equal opportunity hater... I hate all Basketball....

fair enough, and who knows he might NEVER win and you can point and laugh for a long time

he seem on the right track and it's like someone suddenly told him he's getting off the liberal reservation too far and must prove himself again

49

oh and last point on the Heat lost. the Heat may end up being the most dominant team in the NBA next year. Imagine, you set up an all star team to go ahead and win multiple titles. You start things rough but get in a rythym and end up the second seed w/ 58 wins. You go on to the Finals and built up a 2-1 series lead and then lose 3 straight and the Finals.

The Mavs should be congratulated on their win, but they may have just fucked over the NBA for next year - look at 2009 Lakers

50 and btw didn't Ross Perot use to own the Mavs?

51 LeBron sucks as a human being. He also looks like he's about to cry in the press conference. Seriously.

I'll be an optimist about that.  And hell, I'll laugh really hard if the season after he leaves the Heat they do win a title.

53 LeBron and the Miami Warm!!!

FTFY

55 there is only one cuban in miami that's happy they ought to be turning over cars in CLE, closest they ever get to a champiionship.

56 LePippen fails...  This is the sweetest result for most neutrals since 18-1.

It will only get better when the post-lockout hard cap forces the Heat to get dismembered.

57 The real question now is, who will end up being suspended in the first half incident. Because, depending on which players get axed, the Mavs could be in HEEE-UUUGE difficulties in Game 7, with no way to stop LeBron scoring a hundred all by himself. And it's all too bad, because Cuban, loathe him or dislike him, gave Mavs management all the apps to turn this edition of the iNowitzi into a winner. But, none of us can avoid destiny, and the Heat have destiny writ all over themsel... wha ...wtf just happened there?

58 The noise in downtown Dallas is crazy. Good thing I'm a good for nothing bum and don't have to work tomorrow.

59 Any riots in Dallas or is that just an LA thing?

60 Why don't you guys pick up the damn phone and have a conversation?  This fighting one sentence at a time on twitter is beyond stupid.

61

Noise? Try burning your city to the ground and then maybe you can talk.

62 Great tweet: “@gabrielmalor: RT @firstteamtommy ---> RT @Jyapo: City of Dallas just announced tomorrow is Lebron James Day. Everyone gets to leave work 12 minutes early.”

63 Wrong, so wrong.  The best all-around athletes have been proven to be Olympic wrestlers, boxers, and then professional (e.g. NHL) hockey players.

Curling.

Those guys don't break a sweat.

BTW, why do we have womens' curling?  It's not like women can't play at the mens' level.  There's no physical reason for this.  What's going on?

64 the Heat may end up being the most dominant team in the NBA next year.

No, I think that will be the owners' legal team.

65 Wasn't Miami suppose to win?  That was the opinion of the so-called experts.  Congrats, Dallas Mavs!  You are World Champs!

66 Not even 1, you pansy ass.

67

YRM, you are right.  The Heat will win next year*, but may have to give up Bosh to get a better starting PG and the necessaary role players.  In any case, they are too talented and, with the West in flux, represented by aging Spurs and Lakers teams, and OKC not yet ready, I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up winning 2 or 3 Finals in the next five years.

*Depending on the Knicks moves.

68 In all honesty, I don't even hate LeBron. I'm a Bulls fan, my concern is on my team actually being healthy in the freaking playoffs next year.

 Seriously, the Heat got too much love for beating an old Celtics Squad and a Bulls team that had their entire starting five playing with injuries. I give them credit, they probably would have won the series anyway. But their health allowed them to finish the series faster, and so people under appreciated Dallas dismantling OKC. Fantastic series.

 I'm looking forward to next season, less games= less wear and tear on my damn players. Rose, Noah, Boozer and Deng were all playing hurt and I'm damn proud of them doing as well as they did. I'm sure YRM and I both know next year's ECF opponents already. It'll be Bulls and Heat again. Probably for the next 3 or 4 years.

 

69 @WaddleandSilvy This #Mavs celebration is way smaller than when the #Heat eliminated the #Celtics. about 2 hours agoLOL.

70 Huh.  A Dallas team I have nothing against won a title.  That's... nice?

71 I'm getting a Perry/Palin-Palin/Perry vibe from this.

72 LeBron has as many championship rings as I do. And only a slightly better post-up game.

73

Hey, haters - I've won at every level except the pros.

I'm better than Jordan, you know.

Not college

75 It is with great glee that I enjoy Miami getting their asses handed to them.

76 4-2, the most beautiful number in sports since 18-1.

77 Do the Heat have an opening for a strength and conditioning coach? I'll bring my own towel.

78 Don't care about basketball, but I am a Wade fan. He's Marquette alum (and that's WARRIOR, thank you)

79 I am getting these "Start Shedding Your Clothes" ads for vegas - is that where all of these weiner posts get us?

80 There's a knuckleheaded sports story saying how Dirk and the Mavs seized on the "enormity of the moment" to win the game. While I'm not a huge fan of the sport, calling the game "incredibly wicked, past all moral bounds" seems excessive.
