    not much. But we have Pat Riley...so he will probably get Kevin Durant for him.

    Then Hassan does THAT to Denver. The saga continues...

    Really nice win without Wade + Dragic. Came all the way back from like 20 down. Could give us a little lift.

    Probably Beno's best game as a Heat. But man, how ****ing amazing is CHRIS BOSH! Gotta be the most underrated player in the League.

    I've never seen a non superstar player scrutinized like Hassan.

    Skolnick decided to go to Bill Simmons Body Language University just to study Hassan. Seriously it's like this guy is doing his thesis on the guy

    And then there are the Twitter dopes like Rizz, who is mad he had a great game and we won so now Hassan will never listen to Wade again. Lol

    Just laughable.

    It's one thing to be cautious about paying him huge money but to not even enjoy tonight? Pathetic losers

    He actually defended the P&R much better last night. So why not do that every night? Why? go listen to his post game comments.

    He needs to listen, and I doubt he ever will. Still has time to prove me wrong and show that he is coachable.

    I just hope we dont make this into a huge story, dont want other teams to catch on and think, "why would we want to deal with that character" and not trade anything to us for him..

    I think hes gone after the season regardless..

    5-5 in January. First road trip is gone. So far ..so good. gotta go at a minimum...3-4 to end January, but it's time to get greedy and go for a winning record for the month.

    That Sixers team with just Noel and Okafor is too talented to be as bad as they are.. Okafor has a really nice game, id still prefer Porzingis but hes very close behind KP

    Ever since they got Ish Smith, they've looked like a completely different team. They've gone 4-8 since acquiring Smith, with a few of those 8 losses being very close.

    I'm having way too much fun watching this. It's just so satisfying.

    "Would've been different if we had Kyrie and Love." It appears the main difference is awful defense...

    Lol wade at his old age is still a far better defensive player than Kyrie and ill take this years Wade over Kyrie too. And the all star voting seems to suggest everyone feels the same.

    Cavs hopes for a title crushed. Its over. The Warriors literally played with them like a cat plays with a cockroach. Kyrie is awful as a defender and he takes some awful shots. Lebron has done a terrible job of building this roster, I don't know why they made some of the moves they made and spent some of the money they did. When you look at how Golden State plays defense, passes to get great shots, hits open shots you see why they are so good. Cleveland will still probably win the East but the inevitable Spurs vs. Warriors series is the title series. I think this team has a ton of talent but in Miami Lebron was not the coach and GM, its going to cost Lebron his chance at ever winning a title in Cleveland.

    the problem is that there is SO MUCH talent there. If he ONLY stayed in his lane, and accepted that he is a GREAT complimentary piece. Again, if we can't get through to him, nobody can.

    Like I said...there is still a lot of season left to prove that he is worth an investment. Even while recording a triple double in a win, he manages to ruin it with his comments after the game, and his preening during the game glorifying his stat milestones.

    Like...who does that? Who runs down court screaming at the scorers table to make sure they saw that blocked shot?

    People tried to argue with me before that Kevin Love is better than Bosh.. Are you kidding me.. bosh is so underrated defensively especially his help and p&r defense.. And he can do everythinng Love does offensively. Lebron went to a worst situation in Cleveland..

    Cleveland isnt good enough to beat OKC in a series..

    The weird thing is that Cleveland is a good team, I mean they got to the Finals last year and will probably do so again. Taking that team to the Finals was a pretty solid accomplishment for Cleveland and really, the Heat with Bosh, Wade and Lebron probably would have lost to Golden State too so its not like being on a different Eastern Conference Team is making any difference. The problem for Cleveland is that Golden State and San Antonio are light years better than Cleveland. Better coaching, more talent and right now I'd say Curry is surpassing Lebron as the best player. Bosh might be the best player out there to compliment Lebron though.

    Strange that the guy can't even fake it for a bigtime contract. I could fake like I love my job and everyone in the facility for about 10% of what he could make with a big contract lol.

    I REALLY want someone to ask Dwyane Wade in an interview "how many rings would LeBron and you have won together if he stayed in Miami?". Wade may dodge the question, but he's a competitor, so he might answer truthfully.

    We might not have beaten Golden State last year with Lebron but i like our chances to take it to game 7. The 2012 Heat is still the best team of this decade and its not even close.

    Honestly, the answer might only be two

    Even if LeBron had stayed, I doubt we would've been able to beat GS.

    Maybe, I think this Golden State team is better if they win a title this year with 70+ regular season wins.

    fair warning...that Golden State team that got a little shaky vs. the Cavs? The Heat with LeBron and their experience might have tipped them over and drowned them. By the time you look up...the Heat might have won the series.

    Now..this year..the horse left the barn...the dynasty is in full swing.

    I'm not sure. I think they get at least one more with a lineup including Gasol and Deng. Either way, I seriously doubt Wade would say that. And that's what I want to hear. I want him to essentially say it was a mistake for him to leave. That would probably be the only way you could get him to do it.

    I think the post game interview stuff, the preening during the game...none of that really bothers me. It's inconsequential.

    Making basketball mistakes you should no longer be making and not being able to execute even the most basic of passes without turning the ball over, that stuff bothers me.

    Im not so sure they can beat SA in a 7 game series. That will be a more entertaining watch from my standpoint than any series Ive seen in some time.

    Who controls the pace? When Curry is on he is unguardable....but he cant beat them alone. Cant wait for that series, it imo is basically for the NBA championship.

    Agreed. Three things working against GSW in that series assuming it happens....

    1. Pop
    2. Kawhi guarding Curry
    3. Size (Duncan and LMA inside)

    Also as far as Sections statement, I disagree about dynasty for GSW. Point guards rarely have dynasties. Its probably the most overrated position in terms of importance in the 4 major sports. Magic had a dynasty but with KAJ and Worthy. Isiah had a shorter one with a strong cast. Hasnt really been a team since with a PG as its best player and long term success....MAYBE the Pistons but I think Sheed was a better player then Billups.
