Whether it&#039;s media or just idiot fans like us trash talking you. I think Dwyane recognizes that, and thats why he didn&#039;t whine about it in this interview.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you keeping track of our fanhood? Wow. So you know exactly the day we became Heat fans? Where am I in your calendar of fandom for the Miami Heat? Dumb ass.

Yes we will tell the whole nation F U when we win it. And we will, make no doubt about it. Maybe the biggest F U ever. I would love for Wade, James and Bosh to just run around the arena (hopefully away) and just hold their middle fingers up in the air (Brian Cox style). 

I just wish these guys would stop being so nice and polite to the media. What they should do is embrace all this hate and become monsters, give wrestling-style interviews. That&#039;s what I would love. For them to be over the top and just piss on the media. What&#039;s there to lose? Fans, players (as admitted by a few scrubs) and the media hate them. Actually the media loves them ($$$). 

So for all you losers relentlessly bashing the Heat, have at it. Keep in mind we can bash too, we aren&#039;t going to sit around while you morons take shots at our team. This team in its first year together was 2 games away from erecting the middle finger trophy. 

How did your team do? Are they so sorry and irrelevant that you have to hate on the Heat? Apparently.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t think you know what a &quot;grudge&quot; is.  A grudge is when you are still bitter and angry over something that happened long ago.  A Cleveland fan who is still posting angry messages about the Decision and LeBron leaving is holding a grudge.

The Heat and their fans are being actively attacked every day on blogs by people like you, though.  That isn&#039;t in the past - it&#039;s a current event, therefore Heat fans are understandably annoyed by it.  

Like I said in a previous post - The Heat players displayed a lot of ego in the preseason last year and deserved their share of criticism.  But the AMOUNT of criticism and the INTENSITY of it has been over the top.  Being annoyed by that is perfectly justified.  

Anyhow, I don&#039;t really give a crap if you think we&#039;re the laughing stock of the NBA.   You can say whatever you want - It doesn&#039;t change the fact that my team was the second best team in the NBA last year  Being better than 29 out of 30 teams in the league means that you had a truly awesome season.  

Myself and the other Heat fans I know had a ton of fun last season, and we&#039;ll continue to have fun in future seasons regardless of what people like you say.  

And when and if we do win the championship, yes, we will all give you the middle finger.  You will deserve it, too.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You sound like an emo ex girlfriend.

It’s been a year since all of that happened, and you’re still crying about it on internet blogs.

Get over it.
-------------------
Says the guy holding such a grudge that he wants to erect a middle finger statue.

Heat nation brings it on themselves. Their fans emulate their players: they whine about the world being against them, refusing to recognize that they only have their insufferable attitudes to blame for everybody rolling their eyes every time a fan/player speaks. 

You are the laughingstock of the NBA. 

Your entitled attitude of assuming you&#039;ll get several championships ignores the fact that youre going to struggle to even reach the finals again. The east is beastly.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How should he have responded?  Well, Bosh made some very intelligent comments the other day, so he could have patterned his remarks on those.  Of the Big 3, only Bosh seems to have any sense of humility and perspective.

Wade could have said something along the lines of:  &quot;There was so much hype and we helped create that to a large degree which made us lightning rods for all sorts of negative attention. We probably should have spent a bit more time just playing ball and less time talking about partying on South Beach. I&#039;m going to make a point out of letting my game tell the story next season and I&#039;m going to encourage LeBron to do the same.&quot;  

I guarantee you if he&#039;d said something like that these comments would be a lot friendlier.  It&#039;s not the questions they are asked...it&#039;s how they choose to respond to them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It never ceases to amaze me how some people ask if the Heat are still whining when D Wade was asked a question about how His team was treated. How should he have responded? When the NBA gets past this lockout, they owe Lebron MONEY. He almost single-handedly brought veiwership to levels unknown because of how much everyone hated him. I wonder who the real whiners are, The Heat, who get paid to entertain us or the people who pay money to go hate on them. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, that is just my take on it. You are free to disagree. 

Who here can really say that this Heat team is going to be hard to stop after having one yearto  work out the kinks? I wouldn&#039;t bet against them because of my personal feeling....smart money doesn&#039;t bet with emotion. Don&#039;t let your hate cost you.]]></description>

UNFAIR HUH?????
 
As if losing Bron-Bron wasn’t a big enough slap in the face to Cleveland.
 
Was it really necessary to wait until the very last possible moment to announce “The Decision” thereby ensuring that Cleveland couldn’t participate in free agency? And virtually guaranteeing them a sub-20 victory season?
 
Then, just to add further insult, the “Three Stooges” (AKA: Bron-Bron, Wade &amp; Bosh) have to appear on ESPN to announce the now infamous not 5, not 6, not 7 line while prancing about like fairies?
 
Well Dwayne, fairness starts at home. Take a good long look in the mirror you self-centered prima donna.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No, he has to win, and keep his mouth shut, at the same time.  People expect a matchup like that to do well.  They simply come across Rex Ryanish, when they behave in the fashion that they have.  They&#039;re professional athletes, not the next coming of .  They&#039;re paid to play ball, not run face on a continual basis (how about them making fun of Nowitzki when he was sick?  Real class act there).  And they spent basically the entirety of last year going back and forth between mouth-running, back-pedaling and more mouth running.

It gets really tiring, and while I&#039;m a fan of basketball, I&#039;m also principled enough so that people like that turn me off completely.  To the point where I won&#039;t watch any game they&#039;re involved in, even if they&#039;re going up against my team.  I wouldn&#039;t want the ratings board, or the League to misconstrue my watching that channel at that moment, for me liking them.  Because I don&#039;t.

They&#039;ve got allot of growing up to do, imo.  Hopefully, they can keep the mic out of their faces and put more into playing what they&#039;re paid to do.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I see it this way...start the year off in fireworks, go down in them the same way in the end.  You know what they say about karma right?

For professional athletes to whine about anything is beyond my comprehension.  Seriously?  You get paid insane amounts of money, more than 90% of those in the USA will ever earn in their lifetimes, to play a game.  Cry me am effin river.  Most guys would give both nutz to play ball in any professional sport, and thats just to play.  Too bad the honor of the game is gone.  Now it&#039;s simply all about me, myself, and I.  

From the words of the a great Bud Light commercial, &quot;There is no I in Team...There ain&#039;t no we either&quot;.  

Just sayin....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Look, Wade has been on record in the past as saying that he and LeBron aren&#039;t exactly buddy-buddy. There&#039;s  nothing wrong with that. But to come out and pretend they are super-tight, only to undermine that in the next sentence just makes him look silly. The disease of the modern ballplayer is talking just to be talking. It never helps them, it only makes them look dumber and more self-involved.  What was Wade hoping to get out of these comments?  Sympathy that the vast hype that he helped create caused a few problems for him and the Heat?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good Luck. First rule of sports. Don&#039;t make fun at the expense of another team. Just like they danced around at the end of the 3rd game. From that point forward the Mavericks kicked their arse. If you think LeBron will ever be Bird, Magic, Jordan or Koby...that ship of fame passed long ago. 

And for those Miami fans that run their mouth&#039;s; the country&#039;s middle finger already was raised to YOU after your team&#039;s choke job!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s amazing that after all this time they still don&#039;t get it. Their pride and ego will not allow them to admit THEY handled everything wrong and bear the responsibility for their image outside of Miami. The fact that most players in NBA wanted to see them lose is more significant. Right now the NBA has an image of thugs; and even they couldn&#039;t stand what LeBron &amp; Wade tried to do! Buy a championship. It&#039;s been 8 years now for LeBron mot winning a championship and the noose is becoming tighter around the neck.

LeBron, Bosh, and Wade are all good citizens, good ambassadors for the game, and good teammates.  Yet they were demonized.  We&#039;ve seen players in this league who have committed serious crimes like domestic violence and drug charges get criticized far less.  

Like I said, I&#039;m not excusing the pre-season celebration.  It *was* over the top.  But an entire year worth of intense criticism is just silly.  What they did wasn&#039;t *that* bad.]]></description>
