This is the first time in my life that I have actually rooted for the glove.....he hit a big 2 pointer in crunch time...... Go Glove
I'm sure plenty of people will probably see this and rag on you for making a seperate thread, but I just had to post in here in case it gets locked because... I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING!
Well its ABOUT TIME Payton did something to help Miami.... As soon as i saw he was going to shoot it i cursed at the TV.... followed by a "YESSSSSSS Payton"
f*ck the mavs, and go heat! I can't believe I'm actually rooting for them but damn, they had an awesome comeback.
Exaclty. That's what makes this Finals so tough for me. I would hate to see the mavs win, but I never want to see Gary get a ring. And I don't want to see Shaq win again. I think my best thing to do is ignore the finals.
The way I see it, as much as we hate Gary Payton, he made it to the Finals before and would already have a ring if it weren't for the 72-10 Bulls. So in a way, if he gets one this year it won't bother me because even though it doesn't seem like he deserves one with the Heat, he did just about everything he could to get one as a Sonic. Do I like the guy? No. Do I dislike him enough to root for the Mavs instead? Hell no.
it just feels so weired rooting for payton.....i used to hate him more than any NBA player.....just looking at that smirk would piss me off.....how he used to get maxwell pissed off and ejected from games, and now here i am rooting for him?!?!? it's weird
Whooppee, the aged, cracked glove (sic) makes his first positive contribution anywhere since leaving Seattle. I used to hate him he was so good/killed the Rox so regularly. Now I hate him because he's a gravy training passe a**.
Huge b****. The Mavs wouldn't even be IN the Finals had Adrian Griffin not made that three-point play in the final seconds against San Antonio.
I'm glad he hit it, but wasn't that like his only basket...Plus he was T'd up in the first half... Choke City: Population, Dirk...
don't like cheerin for GP, but i will. also don't like cheering for 'toine, cause he's nothing but a cancer and the team might have done better if he wasn't there all year (and they had gotten someone else instead). Neither can make up for my hatred of the mavs or my like of jason williams Oh, and i have no problems with shaq winning...the guy is good, though he does it using power. he's earned his respect in the league..
I will root for none of these two teams that don't deserve a Championship. I am sick to know that one of these teams will be champs for one year at least. I can't wait till the Rockets start winning Back to Backs, believe me it will happen.
