Will definitely be up before tomorrow. I had to write it like a mag piece but a lot different than what you might expect.

Just off the top of my head I think this new format started in 1987. Anyway I will have more later on who the next black villain will be.

The reason, I presume, is that the championship series is the only one that pits one team from the Eastern Conference and one from the West.

The LeBron Project succeeds. whatever gains for players in that move likely secured.

great play by LeBron himself

but for me officiating and the poor work of Scott Brooks helped Miami more that they helped OKC. I dont know if those 2 factors were decisive but they weren’t insignifcant.

whatever happened to the 2-2-1-1-1 play-offs game formula?

2-3-2 helped Miami and prolly cut short a series that would have have featured at least 6 games..and prolly a different winner.

A Heat fan I not

A lot of this criticism is bigger than it should be. As for Gilbert…:|
