<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s about damn time.&#8221; That&#8217;s what LeBron James said after winning his first title Thursday night.</p>
<p>Well, now it&#8217;s about damn time to take a look at how the web reacted to it.</p>
<p>For a look at how the Finals were won, check out this blog from Time Magazine:</p>
<p><a href="There’s real joy in James’ game. Sure, you can still hold the “Decision” against him, and dock James points for not winning that first title in Cleveland. But give him credit: LeBron James loves sharing the basketball. The Heat finished with 14 three-point shots on Thursday, tying a Finals record, and Miami’s downtown barrage all starts with LeBron. He draws the attention, then throws perfect pitches to his open teammates. Jordan and Kobe Bryant are cold-blooded scorers: they passed when they had to. ">There’s real joy in James’ game. Sure, you can still hold the “Decision” against him, and dock James points for not winning that first title in Cleveland.</a> But give him credit: LeBron James loves sharing the basketball. The Heat finished with 14 three-point shots on Thursday, tying a Finals record, and Miami’s downtown barrage all starts with LeBron. He draws the attention, then throws perfect pitches to his open teammates. Jordan and Kobe Bryant are cold-blooded scorers: they passed when they had to.</p>
<p>For a look at how the Thunder felt after the Finals were lost, check out USA Today:</p>
<p><a href="http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2012/06/thunder-kevin-durant-russell-westbrook-game-5/1">&#8220;If you&#8217;re going to feel sorry for yourself, you might as well not come to the game tonight,&#8221; </a>Thunder coach Scott Brooks said of the Western Conference champions after his team&#8217;s morning shoot-around. &#8220;There&#8217;s no reason to hide from this moment.&#8221;</p>
<p>The New York sports media couldn&#8217;t keep the Knicks out of the conversation, even though the Heat knocked them out a month ago (via the New York Daily News):</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/knicks/lebron-james-miami-heat-torment-carmelo-anthony-ny-knicks-years-article-1.1100424">The Knicks aren’t going to beat the Heat the way the Knicks of the 1990s couldn’t beat Michael Jordan&#8230;</a> That is the fact of the NBA season that just ended as much as the fact of what James and Wade and Bosh and their supporting cast did to Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, the beatdown they gave them in Game 5.</p>
<p>And then there was twitter.</p>
<p>Via Dan Gilbert (Cavs owner, James hater):</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Great NBA season. Enjoyedplayoffs. Congratulations to Miami &amp; OKC for an exciting Finals. Back to work on next weeks promising Cavs draft.</p>
<p>— Dan Gilbert (@cavsdan) <a href="https://twitter.com/cavsdan/status/216015724701954049" data-datetime="2012-06-22T03:52:16+00:00">June 22, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Notice anything missing from that tweet?</p>
<p>The season that almost wasn&#8217;t is now over, but with the draft less than a week away keep you Internet dial tuned into RobertoGato.com for all the prospect, free agent, and trade news you can handle.</p>

<p>With game five of the NBA Finals tipping off as I type, here are some predictions about LeBron James, Kevin Durant and the finals overall.</p>
<p>1. James and Durant will combine for 85 points tonight.</p>
<p>2. That will happen because the game will go into double overtime.</p>
<p>3. Someone not named James or Durant will hit the game winning shot in the second overtime.</p>
<p>4. That someone will play for the Miami Heat and it will give LeBron&#8217;s haters all the ammunition they need for another season of Internet beat-downs and crazy talk about the best player in the world not being clutch.</p>
<p>5. LeBron James won&#8217;t care and the Heat will win the finals again next year.</p>
<p>6. The Thunder Won&#8217;t make the finals next year.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m most confident about the last two predictions coming true, but 1-4 all have a 50/50 chance to happen (in my expert, mathemetician&#8217;s opinion).</p>
<p>Do you think I&#8217;m crazy? Wanna hate on my Nostradamus impression? Have at it in the comments section.</p>

<p>It was a crazy (controversial?) night, but in the end, it was the Celtics who came out on top in game four of the Eastern conference finals of the NBA playoffs.</p>
<p>LeBron James flopped Kevin Garnett into his third foul of the game just as Rajon Rondo was driving uncontested to the rim for a possible game winning layup with less than 25 seconds to play.</p>
<p>The King&#8217;s acting had no effect on the outcome of the first four quarters of play, though, because Udonis Haslem bricked a 15 foot jumper at the buzzer on the very next possession.</p>
<p>Then, in the opening minute of overtime, Paul Peirce bumped into Shane Battier, who, of course, went flying. Peirce fouled out.</p>
<p>But Karma would catch up to the King and his court.</p>
<p>Just a few minutes later, the game still hanging in the balance, James tried to post up Michael Pietrus, who, of course, fell down. James fell with him, and the officials called him for the charge.</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t the right call, but it felt right after the way regulation ended.</p>
<p>Rondo was special again, putting in a solid night&#8217;s work with 15 points, 15 assists and five rebounds. Pierce scored 23 and added six rebounds before his departure, and every Boston starter scored in double figures.</p>
<p>A report on ESPN says Chris Bosh could be back for game five in Miami if there are no set backs with his rehab.</p>
<p>The Oklahoma City Thunder tied up their Western conference finals series with the San Antonio Spurs in game four 109-103.</p>
<p>Durant had a near triple-double (36 points, eight assists and six rebounds) and Serge Ibaka went 11 of 11 from the floor on his way to a 26 point, five rebound, three block performance.</p>
<p>The game was an all-out slug fest, though.</p>
<p>Both teams shot at least 50 percent from the floor, the Spurs hit 11 threes, and neither team was too loose with the ball.</p>
<p>The game was won on the boards (OKC out-rebounded the Spurs by 10) and because of how the Thunder got their points; San Antonio had 17 assists compared to Oklahoma City&#8217;s 27. The Thunder got more easy looks out of the flow of their offense, and the Spurs had to rely on their players getting creative in order to score.</p>
<p>That series will switch back to San Antonio for game five tonight at 9 p.m. on TNT.</p>
