*The Official 2011-12 NBA Thread*

Actually Spo is really good with plays out of timeouts.

X's and O's is not his problem. team management is.

 

actually, our Batman (LBJ) is always Batman, and our Robin (Wade) thinks he's Batman but loves the Robin role.

 

Basically, this basketball team needs a shrink.

 

Stop.

 

I'm......Ron....Burgundy....?

 

Truth hurts....lol



See what i did there

 

Nothing you said was true.

 

It's amazing that you can go from a confidence level of about 9/10 down to 3/10 after one game. That's about where I am right now. I feel like we already lost the series but there is still one or two games left.

For as much as we hate on the Dolphins for potentially giving us heart attacks... the Heat seem to do so much more.

At least we know the Dolphins are out of the playoffs by week 12.

 

Well, the 'see what I did there' wasn't exactly lying though. That part was true, although I'm not sure exactly what part that I saw him do was true.

 

Fixed.

 

....well... not mathematically.

 

ahhh u beat me to this....well played...

 

BS.

Lebron isnt interested in being "the man" if he did he would've stayed in Cleveland where he accomplished more than he has in Miami. He wants to win and be a team player not a Jordan but a Majic. And thats fine, put him on my team anyday. Wade has on the other hand tried to BE the man...and has failed miserably. Its just not a good marriage.

 

Seriously, guys. We just saw this last series. Wade looked like crap, then was suddenly all Wadey again. This series is far from over - and Bosh's return is HUGE.

I'm a goddamn Cavs fan and I'm talking Heat fans off the ledge here.

 

sorry. time to get on with the jumping.

 

Did he accomplish more in Cleveland than in Miami? 2 years compared to 7...these last 2 years look pretty good compared to those 7.

the marriage is fine.

 

My point is Lebron is fine without the "Big 3" he posted two 60+ win seasons and one trip to the finals.

Lebron could be the man and his teams would be just fine. But he seems to perfer to differ to someone else. Not sure why. Maybe he needs to be more selfish, you tell me. Because "this" isn't working.

 

He would never have ever won a title in Cleveland. Their second best player was Anderson Varejao. He tried to recruit guys, and they summarily rejected him.

I'm not sure how you reach the conclusion that he prefers to defer. He's taken plenty of shots when the game is on the line. Just go back to game 4 and look at his 3 pointer with 30 seconds left. The fact that he doesn't always do it doesn't mean he isn't willing to. He's repeatedly said he's going to make what he considers to be the best basketball play. Does that always work out? No. Does being selfish always work out? No. But to suggest that he doesn't want the ball is ridiculous.

 

Michael Jordan's team won 50 games when he retired. He retired when he couldn't have Phil Jackson as his head coach. He knew who buttered his bread.

Staying in Cleveland would have made LeBron just another Kevin Garnett. All-time great that had his career ruined by a poor franchise.

 

To be honest I'm not sure Wade is holding up his end of the marriage at this point.

 

There are a few players I hope we divorce for next year if were eliminated....

 

I agree. wrote about it in my recap.

 

This a pretty funny statement, considering Rivers won Coach of the Year in his rookie year with a **** "heart and hustle" team, then took the team to the playoffs the next 3 years. So apparently all you remember is the one very bad season in which he lost like 10 straight and got fired midway in the first month.

 

I have confidence we can win in Boston, we were Lebron James phantom calls away from doing it already, and Boston isn't a very good team honestly at this point minus KG whos impact Bosh can help offset. After last season the way our season ended these guys SHOULD come out hungry.

 

It's thoughts like this that make this so satisfying for me personally. Some of you heat fans will never give credit to the other team. You guys are front runners. You expect every series to be sweeps for Miami, you expect every win to be by double digits, you expect championships to be won without any adversity. To say Boston isn't a good team is just so silly.

 

Not entirely sure how you got any of this from my post. I think Indiana is a better team than Boston is, they were pushed to seven games by the 76'ers and had moments of serious struggles against Atlanta. Are they a clutch team? For sure. Are they overwhelmingly good? Hell no.

 

And if the referees didn't hand the Heat game 2, the series would already be over. See how easy that is? Playing the "if" game is dumb.

 

Not too mention all the missed Free Throws, wonder how many points were left on the floor with all the missed FT's?

 

A lot. LeBron shooting 65% from the FT line this series is bad. Like Iguodala bad.

 

The refs didnt give us a game. Not in the sense that they gave one to Boston. Missing one foul call is not handing a game over. Three phantom foul calls on the league MVP to foul him out in a game that goes to OT? That is handing a game over.

At least my team doesn't stink worse than a NY landfill Buffalo fans make a home in. Hint hint.

 

Take shots at my team. Hopefully that makes you sleep better at night while dreaming about yet another playoff fail. A big 3 effectively accomplishing as much as my big zero team. Blame it on the refs though, of course. So very surprising coming from you. The refs gave the Heat game 2 as much as the refs gave Boston game 4. To sum it up, cry harder.

 

LOL you only grow a pair and show yourself when the Heat are on the brink of elimination.
I went to a good 20 games when we we only won 15 games.
I remember watching Tim and Zo play.

And I'm a front runner?
Piss off.

 

No you're just a masochist

 

I can't tell if you are serious or not. If you really are trying to be Skip Bayless, I suggest you keep that BS to yourself. It's a really pathetic argument.

 

I wouldn't take him seriously. He's one of those fans who thinks he's a mind reader and knows the intentions of players. He's Skip Bayless, basically.

 

Yeah we get it man! You're the perfect fan........


But it's really funny how you discaF'npear when the Heat is doing well then talk **** when they go down one game. We don't give two ****s about your opinion of Heat fans dude! You're franchise is what the minor leagues are to baseball. You will never have anything on ANY teams fan until your franchise learns how to keep a star player for once.

The Big Aristotle

 

You know who you are man! Don't even let him think for a second that he can get under your skin!

 

Bayless gets paid. A lot.

 

LOL! You know what I mean.
