****The Official 2013-14 NBA Thread****

Well, here's a plus if the Heat want to make an appeal to Ian Clark. He's playing his first game with Golden State and it doesn't sound like things are working out too well. He's played 10 minutes, is 0 for 3 with one of his shots blocked, has committed one personal and has two rebounds. Pretty lackluster performance.

 

In other Central division news, Tristan Thompson is now shooting right handed.

 

Brevin, not Brandon?

 

Figured I'd share this since news is a bit slow... nice instagram player by one of my favorite players. Keep doin your thing Dray.

This is such a ridiculously weird thing to happen. He's literally shooting free throw and everything with the opposite hand he shot with his first two seasons.

Although I love that he is ambidextrous for that little hook shot around the rim that he found some success with last year.

 

My God this time of year is sports purgatory. I don't really care about baseball and nothing of interest in football or basketball.

 

Yep.
July is dead month for me. Zero interest in baseball and not much is happening in Football or Basketball.

Dolphins camp starts in 5 days.

 

Nascar? (I think they're on a break this week too actually)

So Rondo will never play for the Heat. Thanks for clearing that up.

My God, you think some stupid woman would spawn with that walking douchenozzle?!

 

Boik and Fin-O honesty check in.....5...4.....3....2....

 

I would rather have Zaire Wade, LBJ jr and the strongest of Bosh's hatchlings.

 

I bet his kids come out of eggs. Dinosaurs and birds lay eggs so Bosh must.

 

He's a nice fit...

 

....Get me Bosh's DNA sample. I'll guarantee that the specimen produced will be a Rock-Type. (I hope someone gets the reference)

 

You're a dork bro. And apparently so am I.

 

I'm sure Bosh would LOVE to give you a DNA sample.

 

Too bad with rock-type, you know you're never getting a legendary.

Spoiler

I guess poison is the only real type not to get a legendary. I was unaware of any rock before 5 minutes ago.

 

I think MWP is kind of crazy, dirty and all about himself. I wouldn't have wanted Miami to touch him with a 30 foot pole. Not that he can't contribute but he's kind of nuts.


A legendary poison would actually be badass...on that subject.

For what it's worth...

 

I don't have to go to him. I'm pretty sure the Knicks have plenty of them after what The Heat did to them this season.

 

fail.

 

Fail x 2.


So sad.

Guy sucks. He is as inefficient as you can get, his PER is abysmal, his WS is in the toilet, and his eye test tape is as bad as you can find.

Might as well have me out there at SF.

 

He does have one of the best Twitters for an NBA player though. He just posts gold day in and day out.

 

There is a fine line between being nuts and being an *******.

Post game 6 of the ECF in Boston last year a guy dumped a beer on Lebron right in front of the camera. He just looked at the guy and kept walking off the court.

Sorry but taking all blame from MWP for malice in the palace is going too far.

 

uh...but that's the problem. He DOES NOT play good defense anymore. His feet are in solid blocks of cement, epoxied to the ground.

 

Per Ethan Skolnick on 790 right now, Heat to amnesty Mike Miller.

 

I think this might have to do with a "retirement promise" that Mike Miller did not keep.

 

Interesting.

Assuming it goes through, do we have any plans?

Opens a roster spot. Perhaps a guy like Ennis just increased his odds. Any other wings out there who might be amenable to the MMLE?

Does this give us some flexibility to raise any offer to Oden?

 

James. Jones.

 

Here is a pretty good reason to amnesty Mike Miller.

If you allow for MAX raises for the big Three next year, and two additions at the full Mini MLE....
