From the G3 gamethread. I could not let this stand:
This is just defeatist talk. Surely we can find
something.
First of all, look at how much fuckin' hair gel that guy uses! It's like he stands in the corner and Pat Riley throws products at him.
And his use of all that zone defense is just clearly a troll job, an insult. It's the coaching equivalent of flipping the double bird.
But most of all, nobody better forget the absolute screw job we got in the
2012 ECF at the hands of Spoelstra (And frankly I could argue the 2011 ECSF too). The last hurrah of the Healthy Big 4 got thoroughly fucked-over by a ref team that had Lebron-shaped stars in their eyes, in Game 7 but especially in Game 2 of that series (despite 44 points by Beast Mode Rondo). Pat Riley ponied up for some extra Tim Donaghy "consulting" fees that fortnight, so fuck him and fuck Spoelstra with a rusty railroad spike.
