My Sincere Congratulations To…

I can't get enough of this picture.

The NBA.  Congratulations NBA and commissioner David Stern.  You got what you wanted, LeBron James has his ring.  The Heat deserved this game, LeBron had an outstanding triple double with 26 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists.  The Heat won the series 4-1, stealing at least 2 games from the Oklahoma City Thunder with the help of the officiating.  The Heat absolutely routed the Thunder, winning with authority 121-106.  Durant put up 32 points and 11 rebounds for his team, but it was not enough. Harden and Westbrook also put up 19 points each, but all Heat starters were in double-digit scoring with an incredible 23 point performance from Mike Miller off the bench.  

Don't cry.

This is exactly what the NBA wanted.  A heroic performance coming back from injury in Game 4 to take Game 5 at home.  And seriously, is the 2-3-2 playoff home system flawed or what?  They should change to 2-2-1-1-1.  That’s the way the NHL does it – and I think it’s fairer.  I’m not going to sit and complain though.  Well-played David Stern.  Well-played NBA officials.  Well played every ESPN analyst (other than Skip Bayless). LeBron James is your heroic hero who finally got his ring.  I’m sure they’ll be filming a Michael-Jordan-esque commercial commemorating this historic and triumphant ‘victory.’

I know this isn’t very insightful about the game or anything, but to be honest I was picking up a friend in Boston last night and I only watched the first and fourth quarters.  Sorry folks, I do have a personal life.

To my Boston fans… I hope this brings you some closure.

This guy has the same amount of rings as LeBron James.  Hope that makes you smile despite recent events. 

LeBron, you played well… But you should’ve been knocked out by the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals.  The officials were the MVPs for the Heat.  Hope you’re all happy.
