Phil will pull a few strings...get it done. And next thing you'll see and hear is him wearing his Olympia medal and people calling it racist towards people of Greek ethnicity.
lol 18 months ago
i dont think phil can afford 4th row tickets to NBA playoff games, that was a regular season game

Lol...a man of diverse tastes. What next, he makes an appearance at Jai Alai game or shows up a Denver Broncos training camp to motivate on the rookies on "achieving their dreams and using the haters as motivation."
i did see on his instagram he was at the Pitts Penguins vs NY Rangers Honky game last night
Wiggs, Rob lives on the S.W coast of Florida. He aint' going to any parades. Bet he's never been to a Heat game.
A girl bought me tickets to a Heat game a few years back, before married. I sold em ;D
I have watched them since the Rony Seikley days, sunshine networks, a game or 3 a week.
They're gonna cruise thru Brooklyn. I predict a sweep, but hey, game 4, maybe BKN gets lucky for pride's sake. Miami didn't break a sweat tonight. They finally got the formula right about resting Wade 30 games (and lebron 10+?)
MIA will sweep this series and 4-1 in the next round.
Hahaha...Gos bless Wiggs. He's like 0 for 95 on predictions, but that doesn't slow him down a tick on making another one...the man has conviction

Theyre not cruising through a team they lost to everytime they played this season. Btw, 4 times.
Theyre not cruising through a team they lost to everytime they played this season. Btw, 4 times.They lost by 1 point 3 times and another game in double overtime. 2 games D. Wade did not play. they were basically in cruise mode through the season turning it on and off when they needed to. Regular season does not mean shit. Not a barometer for what will happen in the playoffs.
Looks like the NBA wants the LA Clippers to win it.
Fix is inGave Durant the MVP for assisting them.
BKN gave it everything they had tonight. MIA was off tonight. And they still managed to beat BKN on their home floor.
The youth/talent of MIA shows now in the series. BKN had their chance and miami just kept coming and coming. Lebron had to score 49 to win it, with the rest of the team being off. And it worked.
jason kidd put more of a beating on his wife then he did on the heat
in the NBA, you can punch a woman and still be a player/coach.

So what's the big rumor about why the Pacers imploded at the end of the season?
who banged whose mother/sister/babymama?
Heat are 4 of 20 shooting 3=pointers today and every roll has gone right for the pacers.
i doubt they will hold miami to this % in game 2
Lebron and wade are jogging and giving each other the look... they're just playing out the quarter now for networks sake, nobody trying to win it.

Lebron and wade are jogging and giving each other the look... they're just playing out the quarter now for networks sake, nobody trying to win it.
no, i'm suggesting in the 3rd quarter, they knew the amount of energy it would take to kill themselves on every play to win it... the number of things that had to go their way... the energy in the building... and the advantage they'd have in game 2 by relaxing a bit and just rolling with it.
So they kept playing but they didn't go overboard with insane defense. We've all seen the Heat turn it on - they can be amazing for 6 to 8 minutes a game, and it is usually when they win games. They never bothered to turn it on today.
we see this from Miami all the time - they play the numbers. they dont bother to play past 80% for some games. I've seen it all year. They did it in the game they lost to BKN too.
the heat looked a fucken mess today just awful
the heat looked a fucken mess today just awful
lebron had a great stat line, it must of been in garbage time, is that white trash idiot the only big man that the heat have. Udonis haslem needs to retire, he looks like a relic.he is the only big man they have worth a spit evidently ::) and that is not saying much
the heat looked a fucken mess today just awful
I try not to be an over-reacting douche..but this is just a carry over from last playoffs and the regular season.ill be enough over reacting douche for the both of us
Pacers are a young BIG team that are only getting better, and are strong exactly where Miami is weak. Would not surprise me at all if they spank Miami.
I would like Duncan to win another ring.
He acts too white. I like my negoes purple and funky.
that's fine, i like him.i hope wiggens goes to toronto ::)
BTW when is the draft?
that's fine, i like him.june 26 btw quick
BTW when is the draft?
june 26 btw quick
Ok, cool.i have Joel Embiid drafted one wiggens drafted second and parker drafted 3rd parker is a beast btw love the kid
i would like to see wiggins play, i have a feeling his going to be a Milwaukee buck.
I know if the lakers get lucky to grab him they might trade him to get a veteran to play alongside are broken down, old, kobe.
If i was wiggins, i would demand they fuck kobe off if the lakers get him.
i have Joel Embiid drafted one wiggens drafted second and parker drafted 3rd parker is a beast btw love the kid
Is Joel a centre? I don't trust centres anymore.love wiggens as well but there was one point in the season they had parker going one ahead of him i think an early tournament exit may have hurt him
I bet wiggins is the first pic, merchandise sales, tickets, plus insane talent.
Is Joel a centre? I don't trust centres anymore.and correct he is a center
I bet wiggins is the first pic, merchandise sales, tickets, plus insane talent.

Damn, unless his a shaq attack type i would still go for the Canadian.he will make some noise you will see
but centres are rare in this league.
he will make some noise you will seeI don't doubt you at all my man.
He acts too white. I like my negoes purple and funky.
Embiid has a bad back though, stress fracture of some sort. Very strange injury.I have never seen Wiggins play, im just feeding off the hype.
Kansas never really disclosed the severity of it, kept saying "he's just resting, will be back soon/business trip" etc., probably to avoid hurting his draft stock. But he hardly played in the last third of the year or so.
Wiggins isn't LeBron but he can be an all-star caliber franchise-making player. Silly for whoever is #1 to not take him imho.
I have never seen Wiggins play, im just feeding off the hype.he will be better then they are
he maybe a tracy mcgrady/anfernee hardaway type.
he will be better then they are
what are the vegas odds for game 2?
will anyone have IND as the favorites?
okc vs indiana finals? :-Xwould loooooooooooooove this
They were favored today by a few points I think. I would expect a similar line next game.
Heat had a shitty defensive game, Bosch missed all but one 3. They will adjust for next game. They play great from behind when there is a sense of urgency. Lebron always comes back with a vengeance after games like this.
to many 3's from james and bosh, no need for that, james needs to keep driving in the paint and get hibbert in foul trouble.
Bosh missed all his 3 point attempts. LEbron made one of 5. Im sure Indiana grabbed the missed shots too.
to many 3's from james and bosh, no need for that, james needs to keep driving in the paint and get hibbert in foul trouble.Bosch killed them this game. Usually when Bosch is hitting his shots it forces Hibbert out of the paint so Lebron and Wade can drive. Chalmers also had a shit game.
Bosh missed all his 3 point attempts. LEbron made one of 5. Im sure Indiana grabbed the missed shots too.
Bosh is a softie, he is out of position as a centre.
Bosh is a softie, he is out of position as a centre.
Hey Rob what happened? If you lose the next one, you better start shaking in your Otomix sneakers.They didn't play well!
Paul George and Hibbert had an orgy with some girl... HIbbert caught feelings for her... and it wrecked the team at the end of the year.
They're past that now, and they're back on the same page, but yeah, they're showing their low IQ, their craziness, their talent thru immaturity.
Miami is sitll favorite to win the series, and if they win game 2, they'd still have to lose 3 out of 5, with home court advantage, which woudl be unlikely. But I"m hardly on the edge of my seat like i was last year.
Hibbert smirking after every layup makes his face punchable, so I'm rooting against IND entirely based upon that. "We showed the haters" and celebrating a super bowl victory after beating scrub teams.
IND vs SA finals would be hard to even watch.
I agree, but im not liking wade and his cross dressing ways.
Im sure this is the last season lebron and wade play together. Lebron is bored.
240 you have strange ideas about how lines work in the NBA.
In a game between two teams with similar records the home team is almost always favored.
Spurs Looking UNSTOPPABLE tonight :o :oJoking?
Spurs Looking UNSTOPPABLE tonight :o :o
I wish Spurs would win this series. I don't think Okc can beat the Heat.
Bosh said he would take a pay cut to stay in MIAMI
Bosh said he would take a pay cut to stay in MIAMI
He knows they will look to trade him so he's being proactive to taking a cut. He's not dumb. He's a solid player, just doesn't fit into Spoels system.
Heat need to get Love and a couple solid bench players. Battier seems useless and Allen will be gone next year.
I've never seen Duncan so emotional. about to take the bait and fight oncourt, then starting shit with teammates.
they may win the series, but they sure don't have control at the moment.
Dont worry, Spurs will dispatch miami once they finish off the Thunderrefs.Heat will dispose of Indiana tonight. They will have a nice rest and then go on to threepeat against most likely the Spurs.
What the fuck! Gettin' kinda nervous here. The Wiggs Effect is going into effect. "If Wiggs says it will happen, it won't happen."Keep talking Wiggsy, putting the reverse black magic on your Spurs.
Heat will dispose of Indiana tonight. They will have a nice rest and then go on to threepeat against most likely the Spurs.
Its over Wiggs.
The refs trying to extend the Heat vs Ind series. Lebron out with foul trouble.
BOSH just got released in 6 weeks for missing that shot lol.
please explain, I never watched it. fucken Australian TV
he could have won the game and taken them to the finals by making a makeable 3 in the corner. He missed. He could have been one of the greats. He missed it, IND rebounded.
he said today he'll take less $ to stay... fearin he will get cut, as MIA needs to pay top $ to Wade and Lebron... and they can cut him and sign 3-5 decent guys. and they need guys this year.

Another fixed game, hope sterling puts an end to this shit by finally exposing it in court
yep. they know how profitable a friday night showdown IN MIAMI will be.
letting pacers get away with punk shit... lance with the pinching, blowing on lebron, etc. totally weak shit.
BOSH just got released in 6 weeks for missing that shot lol.
WIth Allen the greatest 3 point shooter in history and Lewis who hit a couple big threes near the end, why in the fuck did Bosh get the last shot? Also Lebron was driving in hard, get the 2 fucking point and tie it and quit that giving up a sure 2 and doing those outlet passes for a missed three. Lebron is too beta sometimes when he does that. Finish the fucking dunk.
oh woudln't that be great, if he did decide to burn the NBA by releasing some saved email or recording, in which he was told fixing was real?
Tonight's game was insanely fixed, I'll just say it. The Pacers players were SO aware of it, that they were able to PINCH and blow on lebron. They were listening in on Spolstra's huddle. They knew they had the win in the bag, and got very upset when MIA made it close in the end with all those 3s.
We all know the NBA will make MILLIONS if there's a Friday night game in MIA, primetime TV with Miami cruising to their win in style at home, an eastern coronation. Good tv. A heroic, feelgood story. Compare it to pissy IND, frowning and nobody happy. Now we have IND smiling like they won the super bowl, and we'll have the same thing on Friday in miami, most likely.
man, it'd be awesome to see Sterling trash the NBA and reveal that. It sucks seeing what we're seeing. I heard the game announcers laughing, saying "Well, lebron won't be called for those fouls at home on Friday". The fact that they can openly say referee standards will be different - that speaks volumes. Imagine NFL announcers laughing about this. Unreal.
yep. they know how profitable a friday night showdown IN MIAMI will be.Yup, Adam Silver got the word to the refs.
letting pacers get away with punk shit... lance with the pinching, blowing on lebron, etc. totally weak shit.
BOSH just got released in 6 weeks for missing that shot lol.
Heat fans are scared. You better not lose game 6 ;)
nah cmon shizzo, you know lebron is not going to have a game like he did, and they just came up short.Its mainly wishfull thinking, but it does hold some truth.
its going to be a blowout.
bro, I love you're nba knowledge btw.
Its mainly wishfull thinking, but it does hold some truth.
Miami would be shitting bricks at the thought of a game 7 at Indy.
It was exactly what the Pacers have been talking about all year.
It will be an interesting off-season. Lance is a free agent. If we dont resign him, then we shoul go after a max player.
We also need a much better bench.
lance is a media whore, let him go to the bucks. I don't think Carmelo will ever entertain the pacers, and if I was the pacers I would never offer him a interview. Carmelo is pure trash. Cancer.I say we sign Bosh or Wade. Either one would play with a chip against Miami.
I say we sign Bosh or Wade. Either one would play with a chip against Miami.
The real key would be the bench. You need firestarters like a Nate Robinson. Indiana could also use a sharpshooter from 3-point land.
leave Miami for Indiana? fuck no.I say the guy just needs to come out of the closet. I don't care if he is gay. It is obviously weighing on him.
Nate Robinson is cool, he is just a clown in the locker room, his a journeyman, you guys needs to wake hibbert the fuck up,
I say the guy just needs to come out of the closet. I don't care if he is gay. It is obviously weighing on him.
Ha ha bitches. OKC can't beat us at home.
Ha ha bitches. OKC can't beat us at home.OKC is gonna bring a old batch of collard greens next time for energy = spurs down. Chill until the next episode.
Looks like my Pacers have the Heat right where they want them.Associating yourself with mentally weak losers. I thought you were turning over a new leaf.
They are within striking distance.
Associating yourself with mentally weak losers. I thought you were turning over a new leaf.West is the only guy I see with heart on the Pacers.
All they could focus on during the regular season was home court in the playoffs. How did that work out.Ronnie wearing his "White Hot" shirt with no pants in this thread.
West is the only guy I see with heart on the Pacers.They never should have traded Danny Granger for Evan Turner. Larry Bird ain't no Pat Riley!
I hope Bird tells Lance he wont resign him next season. Let a loser like that play for the Knicks.
Hibbert blows, Paul George is not a franchise player, George Hill is not a starting point guard, and the bench completely sucks.
Other then that, I like our chances for the future.

Miami Heat vs San Antonio Spurs
But wait its finally a close game and not a blowout
Okc making a comeback
Lebron is laughing his ass off right now.
Durant maybe the league MVP
But you let fisher take that last 3-point shot
Spurs gave the title last year to Miami..
Won't happen this year >:(
Your day is coming soon Rob. We will have our revenge!
SPURS V. HEAT
It's on bitches.
Why? He lost he just doesn't know it yet.We shall see. If he loses he will be crying then.
I would certainly give the mental advantage to Spurs this year. Miami was fat and lazy this year, no doubt about it. They lost miller and already, Wade is making excuses why LBJ will leave and Wade woudl love nothing more to LOSE this year - so that next year, when they're .500, it's not his fault. It's all "Hey, we LOST the title last year WITH lebron, so..."Bro they will win hate to say it but its true. My only solace is in the fact i know this shit is getting blown the fuck up after this season.
I'm not feeling too good about miami's chances. They'll have younger legs but without the shooting of Miller, without the eyes on the dynasty, with guys protecting their bodies for the contract they're negotiating in 4 weeks... with teh Spurs leaving it ALL on the floor because, well, half of those dudes will probably be retiring in 2 weeks...
Last year I was very confident about Miami's chances of winning it - youth/talent beating better coached old dudes. THis year, Heat can't shoot they're not hungry.... Spurs appreciate where they are, and theyre hungrier than ever. I really HOPE the Heat win, but I wouldn't bet on it. :(
Bro they will win hate to say it but its true. My only solace is in the fact i know this shit is getting blown the fuck up after this season.
I sure hope they do. But I do think for the experience and minute mgmt advantage that the Heat gained... they lost Miller and he's very valuable.
SA sure ain't perfect. OKC and DAL both pushed them pretty hard. Nobody pushed MIA. Outside of that game 5 blatent robbery, Heat cruised in this playoffs. They're awesome. However, since we have last year's matchup so similar to look at - I really think SA is going to go 'all out' like we've never seen. SA will be on the floor for every loose ball. MIA guys will be protecting their bodies for new contracts. SA lost last year - MIA won... SA will be way hungrier.
Tough to call this series. Would love to see MIA win it in 6 games. They're so good - SA can win by 26 in game 1, and MIA never look back, winning them all. Last year, I thought talent was the X factor. This year, I think it will be contracts - SA is fighting for legacy before retirement, while the Big 3 all can lose tens of millions of $ if they twist a knee on a dive for a loose ball.
I get what you're saying, but I think the gist is Spurs in 6.....Just like it should have been last year.
Heat have proven that when they WANT to play that no one can stop them.
not anymore. starting next year, the cap won't allow 3 top stars on any team. The Miami heat rule, it's called.
Total cap is 65 million, I believe. The Big 3 are going to get 20 to 22 million EACH. the three of them alone will break the cap. Then you can't afford any decent players around them. Now that everyone from Allen to Haslem to Battier has their titles, they're going to stop leaving $ on the table to play in MIA, and they'll do what Miller did last year, and get rich someplace else.
It won't happen again. Two stars, yes. Two stars and 1-2 realllly good guys, yes. But 3 top guys cannot happen again unless they're willing to take a bigger hit than lebron/wade/bosh did.

I am tired of Heat bandwagon fans. They have bought championships.Probably the best post you have ever made.
There is a huge difference between the Heat and a team like the Spurs.
Spurs are a real team ( home grown) and have 4 championships to show for it.
If you put Lebron, Wade, and Bosh on any team, they make the finals.
Just like when they put Shaq with Wade.
In modern day sports, you can pay for rings if you are smart.
Put Lebron on the Pacers and they win 3 in a row too. ::)
I am tired of Heat bandwagon fans. They have bought championships.wade and shaq won brotha

quick brotha dont hold back tell us how you really feel lol ;D
Shaq was done by then, Alonzo was blocking/changing shots and rebounding like a mad man, shaq was the loser with 5 fouls and 0 rebounds.
FixedTruth!
I am tired of Heat bandwagon fans. They have bought championships.That's absolutely not true. You have to give Spoelstra and Riley credit. What happened the first year against Dallas. Spoelstra talked to Lebron made him change his game to becoming more of an inside force in the paint. He went and worked with Olijiwon in the offseason worked on his inside game. Came back next season and took over as leader of the Heat. Even the greatest players need and want to be coached, they just have to respect and trust them, which certainly didn't happen in Cleveland.

Wiggs, keep cheering for your Spurs, the more the better. Heat and Spurs said it would come down to this. You could not ask for a better more evenly matched finals. Heat in 7 Wiggs you bandwagon jumper, stay on that wagon.
Bandwagon jumper? I've loved the Spurs since the Jordan era.
There will be no Wiggs Curse this year. This is the year we win.
Bandwagon jumper? I've loved the Spurs since the Jordan era.Just fucking with you, Heat in 7. If Parker is or gets hurt make it 6.
There will be no Wiggs Curse this year. This is the year we win.
Championships are championships and hardware is forever. Doesn't matter how the team was constructed. Home grown is a nice story, but means jack shit at the end of the day if they lose.Bullshit. As a Yankee fan, you have seen both sides.
Now, who does the crooked ass NBA rooting for?
A glorious retirement for duncan, the storybook ending? A 7 game series with Duncan winning and sailing off into the sunset a winner?
The Jerome bettis Gift ??? ???
Championships are championships and hardware is forever. Doesn't matter how the team was constructed. Home grown is a nice story, but means jack shit at the end of the day if they lose.owned. they will always make excuses.
I will be a Spurs fan for the next two weeks. They represent a true team. Not the Heat who have a 12th man (Rashard Lewis) who was a former all-star and 100 million dollar man. ::)Suppose the Pacers got Lebron then what would you be saying?
Suppose the Pacers got Lebron then what would you be saying?Go King James!!!!!! ;D
Spurs gave a gift last year to the heat..
Won't happen this year!!!
GO SPURS!!!
But their aging core is another year older. :-\

True. Durant and friends played like total crap... watching Game 6 now on replay... wow, they're idiots... dumb basketball all around.. and it still went down to the final seconds of OT. SA isn't good at dealing with young athleticism, they just played smarter and Durant/westbrook have a combined basketball IQ of -200. All the talent in the world, but no brains... and they probably win this series if Ibaku lets them steal game 1 or 2.
Luckily, SA does move up their game as the playoffs progress. Miami doesn't really bother.
Durant has no fire in him. Like he's just playing it out til he can get outta town and go someplace he really wants to be. Insanely calm when he lost that ball to blow the game.
DId you see the Mavs blow two huge leads in the opening series? They should have easily knocked out the Spurs.
it would be painful to see spurs lose again. Let's not forget they should have won last year hadnt they made newbie mistakes right in the end that cost them the title.
got paid too early like jamarcus russell. how much fire would you have if the money was on the table before you had to perform? fuck, that's 90% of the NBA. i will not watch the product.Except for the fact that Durant is the current MVP, while Russell was one of the biggest busts ever.
it would be painful to see spurs lose again. Let's not forget they should have won last year hadnt they made newbie mistakes right in the end that cost them the title.
Spurs gave a gift last year to the heat..They didn't give them anything, they took it. Just make sure you watch cause it's definitely happening again. This time no fucking excuses.
Won't happen this year!!!
GO SPURS!!!
Ray Allen's miracle-three snatched a certain win/championship from Spurs and even he probably only hits that shot 1/10 tries.
People act like that was game 7 though. They played a whole extra game after that which Miami won fairly uncontroversially.
Looking forward to a good series hopefully.
They didn't give them anything, they took it. Just make sure you watch cause it's definitely happening again. This time no fucking excuses.
San Antonio Game 1. 110-95 bitches.
Jordan had a stomach virus....the infamous "Flu game"
Dropped 38 points and lead them to victory
Lebron James has a history of cramping.;D ;D ;D
So do vagina's........just saying.
Spurs knew Lebron's history of cramping , that was sabotage on the AC system. They knew they were on there way to a loss before Lebron went out with cramps. Jonathan Martin thinks Lebron should tough it out. :) ;D
If he loses this finals, he'll have won 2 finals, lost 3.clutch performer of peace.
The spurs have been practicing with no AC for the last few days, they sabatoged the game. NBA of course won't look into it.Those dang Spur thugs!! As I understand, for game 2 the Spurs will be putting Icy Hot in the Heat's jock straps.
Who cares, Spurs had to earn the win, won't be so easy to win again. Miami needs to let up on living and dying by the three pointer, wayyyy too many attempts.
Those dang Spur thugs!! As I understand, for game 2 the Spurs will be putting Icy Hot in the Heat's jock straps.
Now, I do think the Heat will take game 2.
I don't get the critiscm of James not playing. When I was running Clen hard, in the middle of the night my calf cramped up, just fucking seized. The worst pain ever. Screamed out loud in bed. I was limping for a week afterwards, like I tore my muscle.
Yep those horrendous muscle cramps and spasms are no joke......I joke about it, but I actually felt bad for Lebron.
Yep those horrendous muscle cramps and spasms are no joke......I joke about it, but I actually felt bad for Lebron.Was doing a set of leg curls for hamstrings my right hamstring cramped up so bad I fucking screamed. I just laid there till it started to subside and tried to massage it out. Hamstring was sore for days after that.
sign said 102 degrees next to the heat bench.
You know, at some point, they would have to call the game. I mean, if it was 110 degrees in that gym, then YES, they would have suspended play. If it was 109 degrees, then YES, they would have suspended the game. So really... 102 degrees, maybe it's something they should have considered.
I'm not just saying this as a Lebron fanboy or Duncan hater. Rather, it's about the quality of product the NBA has to sell. They do NOT benefit from a series where lebron misses game 2 due to effects of dehydration. Or where he plays 17 minutes and is a non-factor because his left thigh is jacked up from Game 1. The NBA should want both teams having all their stars to put on the best 6 or 7 game series as possible.
SA really did put Lebron - a dude with more fast-twitch muscle fiber than just about any other human in the NBcA, and longer limps - at a distinct disadvantage with the higher temperature. THe taller, more muscular athletes are going to suffer more from dehydration at high temps.
Wouldn't surprise me at the least to see this was an inside job to make Lebron ineffective. It's science, plain and simple... and it worked.

Leg cramps (especially in the hamstring area) are incredibly painful. You can oly hope to either hobble around for minutes, or have someone there to help massage it out.
The whole process can take forever, and can relapse again in minutes.
Lebron could not have helped his team in that situation.
#lebroning
Bosh though needs to play some fucking defense. Duncan was 9/10, 20 points, 10 reb. 90% shooting! Fucking Bosh can't defend for shit. Duncan should not be going 9/10. No way.You are correct.
Game 2 Sunday 8:oopm eastern bitches.
I guarantee lebron will cramp up again.Anytime the heat are down he'll start rubbing his thighs.
I guarantee lebron will cramp up again.Make sure you're watching Quick, I am sure Arce will be, and every other Lebron and Heat hater. And maybe a few NBA fans that just appreciate greatness.
I don't like all this #lebroning stuff, it's like poking a bear. I think he'll have a big game on Sunday, presuming that he is healthy
Watching Lebron interview with Wilbon right now.
Jeezus, why does he insist on saying the word "myself" instead on "me". He does it every fucking time, pay attention the next time you see an interview with him. I don't know if I've ever heard him use the word me before. I know it's a minor thing and I'm trying not to read more into it then there probably is but for some reason this drives me nuts. I should say, it drives myself nuts.
usage Myself is often used where I or me might be expected: as subject <to wonder what myself will say — Emily Dickinson> <others and myself continued to press for the legislation>, after as, than, or like <an aversion to paying such people as myself to tutor> <was enough to make a better man than myself quail> <old-timers like myself>, and as object <now here you see myself with the diver> <for my wife and myself it was a happy time>. Such uses almost always occur when the speaker or writer is referring to himself or herself as an object of discourse rather than as a participant in discourse. The other reflexive personal pronouns are similarly but less frequently used in the same circumstances. Critics have frowned on these uses since about the turn of the century, probably unaware that they serve a definite purpose. Users themselves are as unaware as the critics—they simply follow their instincts. These uses are standard.
he looked fine during interview with Wilbohn. He's an elite athlete, he's gonna recover fast. Said he was going to do a walkthru and hit some weights. Yeah, he'll be motivated for game 2. Doesn't look good for SA that they needed to break the AC and commit 30 turnovers, then get a cramping LBJ in order to win it.QFT !
Lebron, quietly puts all that shit in his head and keeps it for extra motivation you can bet on that. This should be a must see game Lebron should have a game for the record books.what cramping in two consecutive games?
The way you quoted this post makes it almost incomprehensible. All I'm going to say is that constantly using the word "myself" instead of "me" is fucking weird. Occasionally, no big deal. Almost every time, weird.ok, how about this:
Like I said, I'm trying not to read too much into it. A cynic might say that he does it for one of two reasons. A poor High School level education or an inflated ego. I'm not saying that I think that is what's driving this but I can't help but wonder what the root of it is. This is not how English is commonly spoken in the United States.
The more I think about it, his mama named him Lebron which I think is some kind of fucked up french Ebonics word. It's all starting to make sense now.

Game 2 is huge for the Spurs. Remember, the Pacers also won game 1 by double digits.
We all know how that turned out :-X

Spurs dominating ;D
where is wiggs :o
Lebron went into full Jordan mode, hitting 90% of his shots in the 2nd half including all his 3 pointers, and they won by 2.
For the heat to beat the spurs, lebron has to play almost the whole game, every game, in full Jordan mode. This fact favors the spurs
raw athleticism beats skill...again. Lebron is a monster.
on a side NBA NOTE,What a Joke, after the lose 5 in a row he will quit.

Derek Fisher and NY Knicks are in the process of finalizing a five-year, $25 million deal, according to Yahoo! Sports.

Carmelo should leave now.
Lebron was excellent.....95% of the time he is amazing....he's a beast.....6'8" and 265lbs........he's better than every player on the Spurs.
I agree though....to beat the Spurs he'll have to dominate every game and the Pacers held him 7 points on one occassion....that won't beat the Spurs. He'll need 30+ nights every game to win and be a monster on defense as well. Wade is also a great, great player and can have great games here and there, but he doesn't have an extended 5th gear like James.
Spurs on the other hand have to play continuous elite basketball making 90% of time making all their free throws, keeping turnovers to a minimum, moving the ball on every possession and going after every loose ball....anything less against Miami won't cut it.
Looks like Phil Jackson will be coaching again, but not on the bench with the players , but from home or luxury box via Bluetooth

I didn't watch the last game but from all reports it sounds like the Heat or at least LeBron played great, the Spurs shit the game away, and the Heat still barely won.Not sure about this bullshit about Spurs playing like crap. They started something like 10/15 shooting , where up by 12 and then the heat just turned up the defense and fucked up the Spurs. Sounds like Spurs fans making excuses. Spurs were playing their best in game 1 and were down by 7 when James got hurt and then still down by 2 when James left. Then all of a sudden, Green and Diaw who James was guarding hit 3's when all game they did shit. Spurs would be down 2-0 if James wasn't hurt.
However it is the playoffs and it doesn't matter if you win by 2 or 20, every game is huge.
Looking forward to a good one tonight.
It's kind of fun watching the NBA without having an emotional investment in either team (I'm a long-time Bulls fan) and just hoping for a good exciting game.

Spurs with 41 1st quarter points. Lot of basketball yet to play still....I hate Miami, but I will be shocked if they dont make a huge run.
Why do I have a feeling that Miami will find a way to make it close?
Spurs have to worry about an adrenaline dump at halftime.
Im pumped, and I am some dude on a couch somewhere.
Where has Rashaard ::) Lewis been all season? Seems like he came out of nowhere the last few games.No, that is why I hate the Heat. Lewis is a multiple all-star, and a former 100 million dollar man for the Magic. The Heat are loaded.
No, that is why I hate the Heat. Lewis is a multiple all-star, and a former 100 million dollar man for the Magic. The Heat are loaded.
Rashard Lewis WAS a former 100 million contract guy and multiple all-star. He's clearly playing on the back nine of his career. He's barely played at all this season. That's probably why he looks so fresh out there but he's way past his prime. He likely wont be in the NBA next year.Maybe that was part of the plan. Lewis is still playing great, and you can't deny his pedigree.
No, that is why I hate the Heat. Lewis is a multiple all-star, and a former 100 million dollar man for the Magic. The Heat are loaded.
Yes I know who RL is, I meant he hasn't done fuck-all this year and now suddenly he's a starter and important contributor.Because he is a good fucking player! :D He isn't a scrub.
This game is over I turned my TV to Sanford and Son.Did you get that electrical thing sorted out?
Did you get that electrical thing sorted out?No, I need to contact Marty Champions for help.
Because he is a good fucking player! :D He isn't a scrub.
"Is" is a bit strong. He had some good years but he's averaged about 6 ppg the last three years. I think he's just had the hot hand lately.Still a very good starter. The Heat did not need him to start.
>:(
Never understood why the spurs resigned Manu Gonobli..
He caused the spurs game 6 last year with his stupid turn overs..
He already had 2 this game and a air ball
Spurs should be up 3-0
Indeed. We should be.
It will be the Heat's turn to win the next game.
The Spurs shot 76% in the first half. That had alot to do with it. To think Kawai Leonard is only 22 years old. He is definitely the Future of the Spurs. I'd love to get Kevin Love over there. To replace Duncan after he retires.Love would be a great move. I loved seeing the Spurs beat down the Heat last night.
Go Spurs! 8)

HEAT are exploring options to sign CARMELO. ESPN NEWS.
That means SOMEONE is leaving town. lakers are holding their coaching slot so Lebron can bring calipari there. Bosh could make way more elsewhere. Wade is about to demand top $ and he can only be effective for half a season now.
Heat mgmt might KNOW the Big 3 is about to split, and hoping to sign Melo to fix the impact of 1-2 of the stars leaving. OR to let that player know "If you play hardball, Wade, it's okay because we CAN replace you".
The Heat would NEVER NEVER NEVER leak this if they thought the Big 3 would be intact next year.
The story I read said they think all their free agents will take pay cuts to form a Big 4 :o :D
Carmelos legacy is already a joke, as is the tainted legacy of the artificially manufactured superteams of the last decade (la, boston, ESP miami)...Exactly, this will be his shot to win rings, call it manufactured, I call it jealousy because no one else can pull it off!
Exactly, this will be his shot to win rings, call it manufactured, I call it jealousy because no one else can pull it off!
Won't happen. The league will step in to not allow it. Plus Melos is useless anyways. Not what the Heat needs. They need a PG and then they'd be lethal.Agree definitely need a point guard, lets see if Chalmers shows up tonight
Agree definitely need a point guard, lets see if Chalmers shows up tonight
If anything the league may allow it but make Miami's season a living hell to send a message to the other teamsHow would they do that ?
How would they do that ?
To many stars, not enough balls to go around. Carmelo and LeBron play the same position, basically. It's not going to happen. Miami needs a proven point guard, Lebron brings the ball upcourt way too much as it is.This ^.
How would they do that ?
LeBron has been having spaghetti fingers lately..
Can't hold the basket..
Jordan never had that problem
I fully expect the Heat to win tonight, but still have the Spurs taking the series in 6.
Massacre.anyone who compares Lebron to Jordan needs euthanising
Lebron promissed miami not 1 ring, no, not 2, not 3 , not 4, I think he promised miami 7 rings? Or was it 8???
Miami will win the series, no way the NBA will allow otherwise

Stop with the Lebron Jordan bullshit. The Spurs are out playing the Heat as of Halftime. It least wait till the game is over. Better yet the finals.
;D
This is a owning...
Epic proportions
Heat fans booing..Last year the spurs beat the spurs..
;D
I want to say all over, but I still haven't recovered from last years game 6 last 30 seconds meltdown by the spurs
Duncan should sign a 1 year contract and come back and get a 6th ring after this one. This is a proud day for Spurs Nation. Redemption will be ours!

In case anyone is wondering, The Spurs are what basketball should be about. I've been a fan, since the David Robinson era. I liked Coach Pop cause he was a military guy as well. Anyway, this is a rare sports organization. That does do extravagant things but they all live by the selfless, team mantra, with the Brilliant Coach Pop. at the helm. No one is better than the team Starting with Duncan and that echos throughout the team. Did you know the Spurs have the highest winning percentage of any sports team in the last 15 years? It's just an awesome sports club in general. This is overdue and Duncan does retire it's been one incredible career. All quietly and "boring". Other teams should follow suit. I'm not into sports like I used to be in my 20s but I'll always watch a Spurs game with Coach Pop at the helm and my Pats with Bellichic.
Spurs need to play to win, no play to hold the lead.
Miami will score 20 pts in 3 mins.
Wiggs the most underrated predictor by far
Spurs in control game over.
Spurs in control but game ain't over.
Hey I'm in SA LOL....I'm just saying it's over when it's over LOL.

So many said the spurs wouldn't win 1 in Miami.
They were right. ...they won 2.
something is going on in the MIA locker room.
The talk about Melo coming there (taking lebrons spot?)
the weird ass vibe they're showing on the floor.
Reminds me of how INDIANA self destructed after the whole orgy thing with 2 of its players.
Any comment on the domination of the Spurs and meltdown of the Heat?

I don't think this is a case of MIA self destructing. Spurs are just the better team plain & simple. And if it wasn't for those four straight missed FT's in game 2, they would've wrapped up the championship tonight & done it with a clean sweep.
Odd timing for the Carmelo story to get leaked to the press. During the NBA finals, WTF?
Odd timing for the Carmelo story to get leaked to the press. During the NBA finals, WTF?
What do you think is the reason?
carmelo was probably sniffing around his next team to join in 2 weeks when free agency starts. Or someone in the heat was trying to motivate the heat. Or destroy it. who knows.
Wade's GH face is disturbing. that one side of his face just hangs now. Wasn't like that in college. Dude's head is growing like ronnie coleman or barry bonds.
Heat are looking like dudes with 67 hours left in this uniform. Just a few interviews and 48 minutes of bullshit before they can begin their new team search. Get this shit over with.
whatever is going on right now in that locker room, we'll hear about it in a few weeks. But it's happening right now. Leaking that Melo story is gonna have some huge impact.
i predicted this would happen - I predicted spurs would play for their legacy, leave it all on the floor. I predicted the MIA players were playing to preserve their bodies for their career, for the next contract. I predicted they'd be missing mike miller more than anyone could imagine.
I'm a miami homer, but yall remember I was shitting on their chances this year. Couldn't predict they'd win the series.
HEAT know lebron is leaving, and maybe more of the big 3. That's why they're putting Dibbs on Melo. I'd MUCH rather see the destruction of this dynasty and all the cool ramifications, than "oh, miami just won 8 titles in a row..." shit gets boring, even if they are my team.
Game 4 of and NBA finals
3min left in game and stadium is 70% empty already lol
Makes the NBA look like shit on tv
Lakers had a Big 4 once (Shaq Kobe Payton Malone) although Payton and Malone were in the twilight of their careers.
They struggled throughout the year got hot in the playoffs and I think lost to the Pistons in the Finals.
yeah that face is just getting wider, steroids are in use here.GH and Cortisone.
The spurs are aggresively and strategically dismantling the heat and as usual all eyes are on the heat and their next moves.
Again the unpopular, non Hollywood, non celebrated, non appreciated, non respected spurs.....the old men who are washed up has beens with no chance of winning again are destroying the nba hollywood darlings and nobody cares.
After the spurs put down the heat every talk show on earth will scream for lebron and wade and bosch's attention.....but the champs will again return quietly home to SA. The media wont call. The talk shows wont call. The 5 time champs will be ignored.
slobbering over the 'high octane phoenix suns!!' despite the Spurs taking them behind the woodshed every time.
Huge GH chops on "Dwyane" Wade
Haha, remember when health look Steve Nash was dribbling down the court thinking "gonna win this game for the Suns" and got hip-checked into next week by Big Shot Rob Horry?
0:45 here:
Yep, exactly how it has always been. Same as the mid-2000's when the spurs were winning titles every other year, the media was obsessing over the Lakers' every move and spotlighting Kobe, and slobbering over the 'high octane phoenix suns!!' despite the Spurs taking them behind the woodshed every time.
Winning the Championship becomes second page news if one of the Glamor teams doesnt win it.

Crazy to think The Mavs nearly bounced the Spurs in the opening series, blew two massive leads late in the game.
Makes me wonder how many times the heat would have made the finals had they scrapped the east and west conference and just had top 16 play each other.

Fact is the Heat are just not as good this year as they were in the previous two, and the Spurs are better. Gonna be some retooling in the off season. Heat will come back with some changes in the off-season. Big three plus whoever. Lots of players still wanna play in Miami.
??? ??? ???They are still called the big three. Wade won't be going anywhere, he will sign again at a reduced salary. Mello and or whoever will be signed. Still plenty of guys wanna play here.
Wade is no longer ANY good to be considered big three and Bosh is on his way out as well.....better hope Mello comes and hope for a BIG TWO
??? ??? ???

There will be no celebrations this year old friend. That is all.
I'm not sure Melo would have been able to help the last two games. Heat are getting out hustled on the boards, up court, in every fashion and then just letting the Spurs hit shots from anywhere. They don't have a true big man on the court. Someone that will grab 10-15 rebounds. They barely rebound. Bosh is too busy standing at the point to get offense rebounds. Melo would be pouting. More issues to this team. they just seem gassedNobody talks about the mental , fatigue caused by being in 4 finals in a row, plus the pressure of being expected to win every time you are there. Sure it's taking it's toll. That's why threepeats are so rare.

@RealSkipBayless I must admit, as much as I love DWade, his face has been looking a little puffy. Not able to stay in peak shape b/c of knee?
Good call skip but its GH
SKIP knows. Skip is a master troll :) He draws attention to it so people will talk. Next he'll be talking about the "ridiculousness" of all the people accusing Wade of using growth hormone.

Truth being spoken here. After three or four long playoff runs to the finals in a row even the best team will suffer from physical and mental fatigue. Even Jordan was smart enough to take a little time off to recharge the batteries. These guys are human beings and they are going to wear down eventually.
Fuck the Miami Heat though. Fuck them right in the pussy.
It wasn't Jordan's choice to walk away for two years

The modern NBA has pussified the power forward position. It seems to be all about "stepping out" and hitting the three now. They should be down in the post banging in my opinion (no homo).I agree. Look at Duncan still kicking ass in the post.
Skip Bayless has elevated the trolling of below-average-intelligence sports fans to an art form, he is a master.
Last year was a fluke..
Spurs clearly proving it this year with the way there man handling the heat..
I agree. Look at Duncan still kicking ass in the post.X2.
Can you imagine how people's heads would explode if Miami came back from being down 3-1 and won the series? LOLZ
I hate Miami but I almost hope they do it just so I can enjoy the chaos and meltdowns.
Looks like the refs are with the heat tonight.

Wade must be hurt
They've been claiming this is scheduled and they are "resting him for the playoffs" all year. Right. You don't sit a guy making a max deal for a third of the season to rest for the playoffs.
Lebron is going to cry..
;D
Even better than the game will be his post game interview ;D ;D
Can't wait for that.
I'm the farthest thing from a LeCramp fan but I almost feel sorry for him. He deserves a better team than he has. The Heat are in the Finals because the East was the most pathetic conference in the history of basketball.
Wade is just flat done as a big time player. He can give you moments, but that's it. Miami has some tough decisions to make regarding him. They can't pay him what he thinks he's work and make a serious run at a championship again.
Wade must be hurtI think u are correct. He had many chances of dunking the ball on drives and he passed it out or tried to float it. He passed up a couple of reverse dunks. Hurt,old or both.

Jordan never lost one either.
Are we watching Lebron become the next Wilt instead of the next Jordan?

Haha no, that's a ludicrous statement, he has him beat on size, 1 legged leaping, maybe passing, a better 3 point shooter but that's it, Jordan has him beat on everything else.
Jordan played during the season and during the entire playoffs and they lost. Lets not pretend that the loss doesn't count.He missed most of the season. Correct. Lets not pretend that you know what you are talking about. He was coming back from being 18 months away from basketball. I am sure you know that despite that double nickel he dropped on the knicks that still doesn't mean his legs were ready for playoff basketball.
LoL Lebron is only 29yrs old not an old shit like 37yr old kobe, lots of runs still left in lebron
LoL Lebron is only 29yrs old not an old shit like 37yr old kobe, lots of runs still left in lebron
Make sure you record this game because this might be the last time you see him in an NBA final.
Regardless, this is james 3rd championship loss
The greatest doesnt lose, especially doesnt loses 3 championship games

Now, why did you sidestep the question? What happened for the next three consecutive years after 94-95 season?
It's ok. Just accept it. Lebron is no Jordan. No one is. NO ONE WILL EVER BE. Jordan is the best of all time and EVERYBODY ELSE IS A FARRRRRRRR SECOND!
According to some, Jordan is not great because he came back after being out 18 months and was eliminated by Shaq. Despite winning 3 consecutive championships after that.
White bitches be careful out there tonight
Wiggs is out to flip cars, snort coke, and bang big tittie white bitches with no regards to laws tonights
4 to 1 series , what a fucking joke, total asskicking by the spurs
Well at least kobes 5 rings mean less with duncans 5 rings in the same era
There is no excuses in the NBA. Magic Johnson and Byron Scott were both injured in the 1989 Finals when they lost to Detroit and barely even played in any of the games. Guess what, nobody gives a fuck. A loss, is a loss, is a fucking loss. I like Jordan, but I don't like how people pick and choose what "counts" and what doesn't count.
NO FUCKING EXCUSES PLEASE.
1996 Eastern Conference Finals Jordan eliminates Shaq
1 May 19 Chicago 121 Orlando 83
2 May 21 Chicago 93 Orlando 88
3 May 25 Orlando 67 Chicago 86
4 May 27 Orlando 101 Chicago 106
What happened in the 1996 Eastern Conference Finals? Or do you only care about the 1994-1995 season?
Must hurt to realize no one will ever be better than Jordan.
I sure hope they do. But I do think for the experience and minute mgmt advantage that the Heat gained... they lost Miller and he's very valuable.
I really think SA is going to go 'all out' like we've never seen. SA will be on the floor for every loose ball. MIA guys will be protecting their bodies for new contracts. SA lost last year - MIA won... SA will be way hungrier.
Last year, I thought talent was the X factor. This year, I think it will be contracts - SA is fighting for legacy before retirement, while the Big 3 all can lose tens of millions of $ if they twist a knee on a dive for a loose ball.
Jeezus you are dense.
On the question of who would you rather build your team with? A young Tim Duncan or a young Kobe?
Give me Tim Duncan.
And you are short sighted and stupid. How come you made such a big deal of the 94-95 season?
Lebron's record in the NBA Finals is 2-3. That is pathetic. He is certainly no Jordan. Make it easier on yourself and accept that Jordan is the best ever. There is nothing you can point to in Lebron's career that will change that.
Who is the coach? Unless it's Pop, I'm still taking Kobe.
Duncan has been a part time player for several years. playing under 30 minutes a game, taking games off scoring like 15 points a game. He's a great player but the San Antonio system is like the Patriots in the NFL. The coach and the system are such that you can get comparable results even when their best players aren't playing. Look at tonight, they played as well or better when Splitter was in at center.

And Phil Jackson, with his 11 titles, is a bologna sandwich?? ???
Lebron sounded like he is leaving Miami..
He just got interviewed and didn't say he ain't leaving.. ;D
He can never be the next Jordan. No one can. It's Jordan and everybody else a very far second.
If he stays ..
I think this or next year will be the last year of the big 3 / $300 million contracts
There is no way Miami keeps Wade and Bosch after the shitty Series/ game they played..
Lebron sounded like he is leaving Miami..
He just got interviewed and didn't say he ain't leaving.. ;D
This is going to be an interesting off season.
Please take a moment to admire the great LeBron for the special talent he is. It never gets old looking at the King's history. So many accomplishments Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan will never achieve:
1. Bronze 2006
2. Bronze 2004
3. NBA finals sweep 2007
4. Go entire Finals scoring 20 pts only one time
5. Quit on his team the year after he promises a championship
6. Dunked on by a highschool kid and then confiscate tape
7. Bail on the dunk contest 9 times
8. Only able to win a ring with 2 superstars
9. 7th best player in NBA finals series.
10. Average 1.8 pts in the 4th quarter of NBA finals.
11. Win .500 rings in 4 tries
12. Host a national televised TV show to leave his team
13. Play on the same team as his moms boyfriend
14. Go 2 for 18 in an NBA playoff game.
15. Get stuffed by a player under 6 feet (Nate Robinson)
16. Flop every single game in the playoffs
17. Choke 4 out of 5 finals games by dropping FG% by 18
18. Vow revenge for 2007 sweep, then proceed to choke again
Lol.
That's quite a list. Don't forget that he lead the NBA in Finals leg cramps.
Heat did far better with their big 3 then Kobes big 5
Who was the fifth athlete of the Big 5?
1. Kobe
2. Shaq
3. Karl Malojavascript:void(0);(http://l1.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/RnDvxCMNyYm2j6Y6biiBrA--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7cT04NTt3PTYzMA--/http://media.zenfs.com/en/blogs/sptusnbaexperts/lakers_satc.jpg)ne
4. Gary Payton "The Glove" oh brother
5. Devean George?
yea, that was their first big 5
then there was the other big 5
Saw it in game one and saw it this game again. The Heat are about to make a big run, have the lead and all of a sudden the refs get whistle happy to stop any momentum. Seems Silver is not a fan of the Heat
I am still in a bit of shock over what a thorough ass-kicking this was. Wasn't expecting that at all.
yea me either , to only win 1 game in the series is a fucking joke, not even the BIG NBA FIX commission could save the heat from the embarrassment
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Gentlemen! What wonderful day! Wiggstadamus was correct. (Does that make me 1-95 Groink? ;) ) Feels good to stick with your team and be rewarded especially after what happened last year. What a class organization from the top down. This was slaughter. We should have swept. The Heat have a lot of questions to ask and answer.
Rob, told you so.
Mark this as another time I was right.
NEXT UP.....KAI GREENE, 2014 Mr. Olympia....YEAR OF WIGGS

Heat did far better with their big 3 then Kobes big 5
the salaries of the Big 3 are already right at the team salary cap. A bunch of 20, 19, 21 million dollar deals with Wade able to grab max money, and bosh/lebron being able to leave. They designed it so that they'd have 4 years to see what happens.Bullshit, Lebron ain't leaving where would he go, L.A., Cleveland, New York, please. Contracts will be restructured especially Wades, Chalmers, Birdman, Battier all will be gone. Ray Allen may retire. They will go after a point guard and a big body versatile power forward. I am sure they will make a run at Mello too.
The NBA made the anti-miami rule and limited teams to $65 mil, I think, starting next season. So it'd have to be the Big3 + a shitload of minimum money guys. Battier retiring. I think EIGHT of the guys on their roster are free agents this year PLUS the lebron and Bosh opt-outs.
And I think they knew a while back it was end of the Big 3. They flirt with Melo publicly during Finals? ouch.
I bet Wade and his shitty contract stays. LBJ and Bosh bail. THey go after Love or Melo or whoever to try to salvage something. Hey, they had an awesome run.
Lebron needs to look at Duncan, and how the spurs did it.Quick, Wade ain't leaving, but will probably take a pay cut to keep the big 3 together and probably take a lesser role, maybe come off the bench!
Fuck Melo that dude is not shit, he was fucked in Denver and did not do anything for New York.
Lebron should stay with Miami and ask that Wade be removed and bring in decent role players.
It's no good chasing rings and hoping team to team, Duncan and Kobe did not do that.
I credit Kobe for not even suggesting to leave LA in the last few years, he knows it's important to be a 1 team player.
Bosh should go and find a team that really needs him. What a waste of $100M
Wade needs to be released, he would fail a physical with every NBA team.
Say thank you and cut him.
Lebron did his best, wade failed, bosh failed. Ray Allen needs to retire.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Spurs were the better team, will give you that. Kai will never be Mr. Olympia!

This, going to 4 straight finals and winning 2 is an incredible feat.
Yes but tainted by the fact that several superstars colluded with each other to form an artificially manufactured 'super team' which would allow them to avoid those pesky things like having to build up a team, having to compete against your rivals/peers, and pretty much assured they would 'get theirs'.This^^^^^^^^^
Its beautiful, beautiful irony that they got smashed by a team that was built up the hard way and had 0 flashy, stat stuffing superstars
Not James fault at all. He brought it night after night best against a superior Spurs team. Dude has help, but not the caliber needed to beat the Spurs.
Quick, Wade ain't leaving, but will probably take a pay cut to keep the big 3 together and probably take a lesser role, maybe come off the bench!I don't call them the big 3 now.
Problem was Wade just faded. Not able to do anything and Bosh who was huge last year in the finals was nowhere. Miami's biggest problem is their bench. Battier sucks, Anserson sucks, Haslem sucks, Allen is just too old. They had no one that could come in and score yet the Spurs were able to rest guys a lot and still gain points. James was getting gassed playing against fresh legs all game.X2.
I don't call them the big 3 now.It won't happen because of loyalty, he brought a championship in 2006, Dade County, was known as Wade County before Lebron came along. He will have to take a pay cut to keep Lebron and Bosch and whoever they get to rebuild. It's similar to the Kobe situation only Wade won't get anything near 20 mill mark.
Wade and Bosh were exposed.
Wade may not be leaving but the team should cut him or pay him the minimum.
Team basketball is amazing.

did you hear the post-game talk? Lebron paused for 5 seconds when asked if he was coming back, then gave some bullshite about taking time to think.240, you seriously underestimate the power of Pat Riley, Lebron will be given the power and be able to recruit who he wants to play with. He likes and trusts Spoelstra what other team will he have those luxuries with?
bosh too - they're outta there. Wade is gonna be horrible next year, collecting top $ dollar.
240, you seriously underestimate the power of Pat Riley, Lebron will be given the power and be able to recruit who he wants to play with. He likes and trusts Spoelstra what other team will he have those luxuries with?
I think he will go to LA.
I think he will go to LA.
They're gonna be stuck with an old and inneffective Wade.
Bosh is dying to leave town, get a max deal, and stop being a 3 point shooter.
Lebron's best option is a shitty teammate in Melo + old ass wade missing half the year?
If there was ANY chance lebron was going to stay, he'd already be saying it. This whole silence thing speaks volumes.
if anything, New York or Chicago that's where he will end up
For me, if Lebron bolted again for greener pastures his legacy would take another hit. He already is viewed by a lot of people as a guy who took the easy way out.
the big 3 in SA all took less $ to stay together too. Those dudes are brutally underpaid because they wanted to win rings. But nobody hates on them, because they're not brash and obnoxious about it.
Free agents always look at the talent around them when selecting a new team. And let's be honest, it was never really the "big 3". It was the big 1 (lebron) + an overrated big man named Chris Bosh, and an all-star that is past his prime and only good on 30% of the nights.
A true "Big 3" is harden + lebron + dwight howard. Three guys in their prime, the best at what they do. Bosh sucked when alone with scrubs - lebron was in the finals with scrubs. Saying the "big 3" puts Bosh at Lebron's level. So while i think the name was great for ratings and hating, I dont know if it was ever accurate. Lebron is probably in the finals 1-2 times the last 4 years with ANY team IN THE EASTERN CONFERENCE
the miami heat nead a mature danny ferry and christian laetner to come off the bench and win 3 straight nig rings

If lebron goes to a team other then Cleveland he will be dubbed as a fucken Journeyman.This, there are few people Lebron respects and trusts Riley is one of them. He will never go back to Cleveland as long as Dan Gilbert owns the team.
Just trust in Pat Tiley, 4 straight finals is quite a feat.
Don't let Lebron fool you. He only cares about one thing $$$$$$. He was never about winning or titles. From day 1 he stated his goal was to become the first billionaire athlete. never did he say it was about winning championships or being the greatest ever.
He knew that he could have the best stats ever but without championships he wouldn't get the endorsements and the lasting legacy. Nike is still selling millions of dollars a year in Jordan gear. Jordan is still make millions from it every year and he hasn't played in ages. Lebron wants that. he wants money, money, money.

Less money? Please, he will make more in endorsements than he ever will with his yearly salary. the more he can win the more money he can ask for in commericials and sales. he wants his own name brand like Jordan one day and for that to happen he needs to be a winner.

Who cares? Hardware is forever and there's no style points. They also won 2 NBA titles and went to four straight championships.
Do you think Red Sox fans feel their 2004 WS feels less or "tainted" because the whole team sans one was acquired via trade or bought through free agency, and the two most prolific hitters on the team were confirmed steroid users? Nope.
Titles are titles and James has two in the bag and will likely get a few more.
Very well put...What is wrong with that, he is a businessman , same as Jordan. Doesn't mean he is not concerned about his legacy.
Lebron is all about marketing himself as a brand..
Similar to what Jordan did..
It's all about $$$ for LeBron..
What is wrong with that, he is a businessman , same as Jordan. Doesn't mean he is not concerned about his legacy.Exactly, Jordan had more endorsements then lebron.
Exactly, Jordan had more endorsements then lebron.Well, this will be a very interesting off season here in Miami.
I'm all for lebron and whoever else making money outside the NBA.
The big 3 is not the big 3 anymore, they really need to rebuild ASAP.
By the way, what happened to female referees in the NBA?
Akron news is going crazy. LeBron just took his kids out of Florida schools, and enrolled his children for the fall in school in Bath, OH, where he has a home. Right next to Akron, where he attended high school at St V-M, and of course, right near Cav territory :)
Multiple sources reporting it... those rabid fans were waiting for it, and as soon as the school added them to the registry, people reported on it.
Oh, they miss him in cleveland. I keep saying he's going back lol.
I hope its True, I like him as a Cav.
Watch Wade/Bosh go for the Max now.

I think Wade might be in for a shock if thinks he's gonna get some huge deal.
The guy is an over 30 guard with declining numbers in each of the past 5 years.
bullshit.......what "multiple sources"?
You'd be surprised what they give him for bringing 3 championships to Miami. The Lakers gave Kobe 48 million for the next two seasons. He's almost 4 years older than Wade. And coming off major Achilles and knee injuries.
The fuckin dumbass Wizards gave Gilbert Arenas a 120 million contract coming off a serious knee injury that ended up derailing his career.
I think Wade might be in for a shock if thinks he's gonna get some huge deal.
The guy is an over 30 guard with declining numbers in each of the past 5 years.
Today is a great day. This sentence was copied from ESPN.com
James said he was still largely dealing with the disappointment and sting from one of the most lopsided series in NBA history.
Bwahahahaha!
all this being said, i think we can FINALLY put one argument to rest
JORDAN < lebron
If he lives Miami I hope he does the decent thing and tell the owner and pat riley that his leaving.
I hope he goes to Cleveland, Kyrie is good but not excellent, lebron will make him excellent, they should draft wiggins. Do not fuck up like the last draft, no more big guys.
Cleveland is going to fuck up again. The will take Embid, just watch. Still chasing that dominant big man even though the league as a whole is going away from that model.

According to multiple reports, LeBron’s two kids, Bryce Maximus and LeBron Jr., will be attending local public schooling next year in Bath Township, Ohio, where LeBron’s Akron mansion is located.Bull fucking shit! Multiple sources my ass! He ain't playing for Dan Gilbert
LeBron already stated that he plans on having his kids attend St. Vincent St. Mary’s, his alma mater, in Akron for high school.
With the anticipation in Cleveland of LeBron returning with the Cavaliers, this will obviously spark some intrigue and interest more so. Even if LeBron is just doing this so his kids can attend his high school which he is extremely familiar with, many will believe it will be a response to possibly reuniting with the team the drafted him back in 2003.
Personally, it could be a sign of things to come. But the fact of the matter is that he already has a huge home in Akron, and he loves SVSM. He has invested over $2 million in renovations for the high school, and he was obviously very successful there, and they helped put him on the map (in addition to his God-given talents). He would never send his kids to a high school in Miami in an unfamiliar area, but rather send them to his alma mater.
This may not be a sign that LeBron is coming back to Cleveland. But boy does it look like one. If anything it makes July 1st a lot more exciting. With the 2014 draft being 5 days earlier, with the anticipation of the Cavs offering a max contract to Kyrie, as well trying to lure LeBron back to Cleveland, this summer will be very interesting and exciting for the Wine & Gold.
LeBron will tell you he’s sending his kids to Bath because it’s where his home is. But boy is it a convenient time to send Bryce and LeBron Jr. to Akron schools, when he can opt out of his player option and test the market for free agency.

I'm leaning toward Lebron to the Clippers.
Cavs are morons if they don't take Wiggins.
Big men are too much a gamble. At least a smaller guy who scores in college will score even better in nba due to more spacing.
Only problem I see for Lebron going back to the Cavs other than the shitty weather and small market is that him, Irving and Wiggins all like to have the ball.
those dudes will do whatever the king tells them to do. lebron will OWN that entire state if he returns. coach, roster, down to the color of the carpet in the locker room. He'll get anything he wants.He still wants to win championships it ain't happening in Cleveland.
I think he has a soft spot... it's "home". Miami is so cold and personal. It's like the movie star that bangs 10's all day long... then marries a "7" because that's home, that's comfy, that's where he is safe. I used to live about a mile from the project housing building where Lebron lived in, back in Akron. The entire city transformed in his senior year. He put 2 mill into his high school. It really is his city, his state.
I think he'll go back to CLE and it'll be the story of the year. Sure, gilbert was a dick but lebron did straight up lie, promising he'd be back then signing with Miami. Gilbert was celebrating and so happy after the meeting, but both of them were immature. All that lebron jersey burning lol, oh the fans would take him back in a minute.

Houston Rockets going after a "3rd star" in free agency.
Mike & Mike predict it'll be carmelo - with harden feeding, dwight cleaning up, Melo could just be a pure offensive weapon. Greeny chose HOU to win the championship if they sign Melo.
I keep saying LeBron should go there. But alas, he's returning to CLE...
Hahahaha, Melo and Harden. Two players who can't play defense. Melo actually makes teams worse. When he left the nuggets they had a better record the next year. When he leaves the knicks they'll have a better record. He's the A-Rod of the NBA. Makes teams worse.

Save this thread and lets see who turns out to be right. I'm on the record as saying that Lebron isn't going anywhere.
Did you hear Pat Rileys press conference. He was dropping knowledge.
I just watched it. God, I love that guy. What a bad guy.
I wish he would coach the Lakers next season. Riley is a true Alpha that all Getbiggers should admire.
I agree. Carmelo is a ferocious scorer but he plays no defense, especially on the perimeter. Dwight Howard will never win anything in his career. But I think he goes to Houston also. He would be a better fit in Chicago. The Bulls play great team defense but they need an outside scorer. But Derrick Rose may never be the same player he was in the past.
Joel Embiid just fractured his foot.
I said it before, just go for Wiggins, no downside.
Yep. Days of drafting a big man in top 5 ish are gone. Wiggins #1.
Cavs are hiring a Euroleague coach (David Blatt). Never heard of him but it sounds like he's been very successful in Europe.
Nice to see a fresh face get a shot rather than the same ~ 30 re-treads that get passed around the league every year.
Did you hear Pat Rileys press conference. He was dropping knowledge.Was gonna post this about this yesterday. That 52 minute press conference was directed to Lebron. Pat Riley is the Don.
Save this thread and lets see who turns out to be right. I'm on the record as saying that Lebron isn't going anywhere.Bro, you and I have been saying it all along, Lebron ain't leaving. People always underestimate the power of Pat Riley. They never learn.
some espn talking head said the first player to RE-UP independently, or grab the guaranteed top dollar $, will probably wreck it for everyone....
They either all do it together, or, if Bosh or Wade smell Lebron is leaving (because he is), they grab the money quick. I'm SURE Wade will. It sounded a lot like Bosh was leaving town too - he'll still get max $ elsewhere, and won't be standing around holding Melo's jock strap when Bosh probably is ready to return to playing HIS way again... and a lot of dudes will probably want to play with him wherever. It'll be weird to see a Bosh in Lakers uniform, won't it?
...240 is the king of taking random useless nuggets of information, and then putting them together to come up with some "insider info" that he uses to come to a completely random and illogical conclusion, that he then pushes on everyone as fact until the event happens and he's ultimatley dead wrong.
they ll all stay in miami....

He's the boy who cried wolf, can never take him seriously.
I'd say he has a accuracy rate of about 10% with his "conspiracy theories"... Probably less than that. He's always taking wild outside guesses that he is so sure of becuase somewhere, someone once said something that could possibly have been construed in some weird way for him to reach his conclusion.
It's be like me saying "Im not happy in my job", and him saying "shockwave is totally going to leave his job, jump to their companies competitor, demand "x" salary, and then ruin the other companies reputation. I know because he said he's not happy"
I'm pretty accurate on the nba stuff and when it comes to when politicians are lying.Here we go... mr ive been right twice, but ill conveniently leave out the 346923053x ive been wrong, therwby making my accuracy impossible to quantify.
Like when hermann cain was initially accused of sexual stuff, he denied it, but when asked in the press conference "would you be willing to take a lie detector/polygraph"?, a question he didn't expect - the corner of his mouth and stuttered breath said he was lying. He answered yes, and of course, he never did, there were 14 more accusations of some type, there were records of him paying a lesbian lover for 11 years, and eventually, he did admit to 'wrongdoing" after his own staff LOL'd publicly at how bad his lies had become.
And with the NBA... the pause when lebron was asked about coming back, his response. his tweets months ago. The body language in the press conference.
We cannot hide who we are. body language and speech and mostly facial ticks (particularly of those with average to only good intelligence) - they can't hide it. The truly brilliant madmen geniuses... they CAN hide it, cause they're borderline psychopath lol... but most cannot.

Read this online. Fucking dumb Lakers.
Kobe Bryant will be paid $23.5 million in 2013-14, after coming off back-to-back season-ending injuries. That amount is just barely less than the Spurs will pay Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard combined

kobe probably sells more jerseys than all them combined, and gets more people to tune in (at least when he can play lol).
And Kobe in a CHI uniform, or Kobe in a HEAT uniform lol, it'd totally shatter what remains of the laker "legacy".
Kobe is worth it on a marketing level. No fan pays to watch fucking Pau Gasol play.
I damn near flew to LA to watch Kobe play just so i can have the experience in watching him play live.

I hear you.Lakers made sure kobe will always remain a laker, its good for History.
I spent an obscene amount of money for 2nd row Lakers tickets just to see Kobe play up close. It was worth every cent. I sat right behind the Lakers bench, it was insane. If KB plays this coming year I plan to do it again. I've been to several Laker games over the last several years alone and Kobe was the driving force behind that.
Don't forget, that in 2011 the Lakers signed a 3 BILLION DOLLAR tv deal and that deal was signed largely because of Kobe.
Kobe is worth every cent of what he makes and then some.
Lakers made sure kobe will always remain a laker, its good for History.
With that $3B TV deal the 50M is nothing.
Its cause of kobe they got that deal.
Everybody is all hyped up that Kobe took the money they offered. I understand that but I don't think it matters because unfortunately LA isn't going to win shit the next 2 years anyway. We have no coach, a so-so first round pick and nobody on the roster except an old, injured KB and older and injureder Steve Nash. It's gonna take more than 2 years to get back to winning. Lebron ain't coming and Kevin Love isn't the answer. Shit happens.
Kevin Love has not shown me anything, great his a double double machine, his a perennial loser.
Lebron as Riley said needs to "Get a Grip" 4 straight finals and his now upset cause it was not spoon fed to him.

Everyone posting on this thread should go on youtube and watch the documentary the "The Doctor." I watched again on NBA TV last night. Without DR J. the NBA would not exist as we know it today. Quick knows what I'm talking about.
I've been wanting to watch this but Direct TV cancelled my NBA TV immediately after the NBA Finals because it was part of League Pass.It's on youtube.
F**k! Those guys don't waste any time. God forbid I should get an extra day of NBA TV.
It's on youtube.
Is James thinking he'll redeem himself by going to Cleveland? not really, he'll just be deserting another team that put it all on the line for him. So he goes back to the Cavs after they get the frist overall pick 3 years in a row.James is going to the Clippers to help out the owner.
It won't work well with him Irving and Wiggins. They would have to get Embied for it to work out. That would be a decent lineup but I think embied is lying about his foot injury to not go to the Cavs.
James is going to the Clippers to help out the owner.
Lebron is going nowhere. So says Wiggs.
Ron, please close this thread now.
Spurs sign LeBron and win 3 rings in 3 years. ;D
I could only dream of a Pop and Lebron combo. Unfortunately I don't see that ever happening. Lebron is a big market guy. The Spurs org. and city is much too small and not flashy enough for a guy like Lebron.Then let him go to the Clippers a high profile team.

Tim Duncan wont opt out of last year of contract. Will return next season. Lets do this shit again!
Charles Barkley thinks LeBron James and Cleveland are ready for a reunion.Charles loves to troll Heat fans almost as much as you. I love Charles I'm from Philly originally so he can do no wrong in my eyes.
Cleveland's lotto luck leads us back to LeBron's future yet again, writes Brian Windhorst. Story
In an interview Wednesday on ESPN's "SVP & Russillo," Barkley advocated a return to the Cavaliers for James and, in the process, took a shot at Miami Heat fans.
"I've always thought he was going to go back to Cleveland," Barkley said. "Nobody dislikes LeBron. I think LeBron made a huge mistake with that 'Decision' crap. He's come back and since admitted that. That's the only thing people hold against LeBron.
"He's a great player, a great person. I hope he goes back to Cleveland. Those fans in Miami are not real fans, those fans in Cleveland are real fans. I've always hoped he would go back to Cleveland. That would be a great way to finish his career."
The Cavaliers finished 33-49 this season, five games out of the playoffs, and fired coach Mike Brown.
But Cleveland won the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft for the second straight year and third time in the past four overall.
That puts the team in position to add a young piece -- Andrew Wiggins, Joel Embiid and Jabari Parker are considered the top three prospects in this year's draft -- or a proven veteran in a trade to pair with dynamic point guard Kyrie Irving.
LeBron's mom just purchased CLE season tickets for the upcoming season ;)
I could only dream of a Pop and Lebron combo. Unfortunately I don't see that ever happening. Lebron is a big market guy. The Spurs org. and city is much too small and not flashy enough for a guy like Lebron.
I look at it from the family/home side of things.Emotional/immature/insecure and settle down/home dont really go together there brah.. you just contradicted yourself.
Wifey is preggo with kid #3.
Two kids now enrolled in school in Bath, Ohio.
LeBron owns a $30mil mansion in Ohio.
His mom just bought season tickets in CLE.
Being pregnant is a pretty huge thing. LeBron will turn 30 this year. Financially set for life. his family/friends are in Ohio. He spends his off-seasons there. He does love the place. He's rebuilding the high school he attended and already said his kids are going there.
He's got his rings in MIA and the team is rapidly declining. The body language during Finals was that they didn't like each other. Lebron was able to leave CLE after reaching Finals... He'll be able to do the same with Miami. He can cut strings when needed. He's telling the league (and cleveland) that he's listening... ;)
LeBron will leave Miami. Maybe a lot of cities will throw an amazing offer at him, but CLE can trade and build a really good lineup fast - and they can offer "home", which nobody else can.
DONT DISCOUNT WHAT HAPPENS when a person is about to hit age 30. Suddenly they want to settle down and find stability for their kiddies, they want wifey to be comfy during the heavy preggo months, not trying to find a restaurant and doctor in a new city like Houston. Don't just look at the teams and layouts, think about his personal side of things - Lebron is an emotional, fairly insecure and immature person. home means more to him than to a playboy NBA player.
Emotional/immature/insecure and settle down/home dont really go together there brah.. you just contradicted yourself.
Dwight Howard always sends of the insecure vibe as well sitting on the side line chewing on his shirt color. Mental midgets. That's why they need college. Good college coaches teach boys to become men where NBA coaches expect you to just act like a man but it's hard to do with these young guys who are treated like a superstar from age 13.
I think it goes hand in hand, PERFECTLY.Yeah, ok dude. You really need to read what you write. You have NO clue how the man is. Just like with zimmerman, everuthing you say is indicative of how YOU think, not him.
A player that is 100% confident, independent, a self-actualized man... He has no problem plopping down in a new city and voila, adapt and grow any place he arrives. Does not give a fck. Think "shaq" back in the day. Went where the $ and titles were. Had his mistresses. Family followed him and shaq just knew, he owned it.
LeBron is soft. Insecure. Biting his nails at age 25 during finals lol. Scared of the big moment. A person like that NEEDS more reassurance. He NEEDS to have his friends and mama around him. He NEEDS the warm fuzzy feeling of going back to his high school once a month. He NEEDS familiar streets, a solid home base. He NEEDS safe, secure, comfy and FAMILIAR. insecure people LOVE familiar. Highly confident people LOVE new places, new challenges.
I think LeBron is much more at ease, at peace, happy and content being in his hometown, with his small group of friends/family, going home to the same bed he knows. He is NOT the kobe playboy, banging 2 olympian hotties at the time in sauna on other side of world. He's just not built like that.
Insecure, immature people DEFINITELY prefer the same, safe home. (Lebron)
Confident, outgoing, dominat personalities prefer the new place, new challenge. (Shaq)
Yeah, ok dude. You really need to read what you write. You have NO clue how the man is. Just like with zimmerman, everuthing you say is indicative of how YOU think, not him.
don't just attack me - tell me what is incorrect about what I wrote.Im saying that everything youre throwing out there is just ridiculous leaps of logic based on YOUR thought process'. It has really nothing to do with him.
Insecure dude wants to be where he's familiar and comfy.
Secure dude wants new challenges, places, people and adventures.
What's wrong about that? ??? You want to change topic to zimmerman because you can't argue with what I wrote there? I think it's a great case for lebron returning to Ohio.
I think it goes hand in hand, PERFECTLY.You can tell from his body language. I say bullshit he is comfortable in Miami, he can travel back to Akron in the off season with his wife and kids which he does since he's been here. He ain't going to Cleveland.

Youre not making guesses based on his actions, or his words, or anything concrete, youre making assumptions based on how you think he feels inside and how you think he thinks, sprinkled with some unrelated events here and there,... which is absolutely impossible for you to have any clue about.
I think we can look at his history and recent actions and overall personality and make some decent guesses about where he'll land, what team/city he will choose. It's fan discussion. Lebron went to my high school. I know the project building he lived in, it was a mile from where I lived. I've watched him in CLE and almost every game he's played in miami. He moved to FL like I did, and my guess is that he's moving back to do the family thing in Ohio now.The one thing you leave out of the equation is Miami Heat organization is very similar to San Antonio. It has a family feel to it. Every key person in the organization has been here a long time. He ain't getting that in Cleveland and the past with Dan Gilbert. Lebron trusts and respects Pat Riley. Spo has earned his trust and respect. Same with Mickey Arison.
Pundits are doing the same thing on tv. it's what fans do, we watch the sport and players we like, and wonder what the next season will hold. no biggie, nothing to get all serious about. I don't think I'm that far off-base. Transferring kids across the country for school is a fairly big deal, a decent clue that some kind of change is in the air. I do'nt see making such a disruptive change, just to re-up in Miami when they're already offering him a blank check, essentially.
240 is the boards sports conspiracy theorist.
and his ideas are as out there as any conspiracy theorists.
like saying the clippers owner sterling knew he was being recorded and purposely was racist in the hopes that the tapes would be released and catapult the value of his team thru the roof. ::) lol Jesus.
he is the equivalent of the tin foil hat wearing whack job when it comes to some of his theories and ideas. .
Duh, isn't it common sense that when you talk shit about something that the value goes up?
well, this ain't the 80's and 90's NBA anymore. deal with it. if a guy wanna chase more rings where he thinks has potential, so be it.....had LBJ stayed in Cleveland another 4yrs, he's still be home watching the NBA finals instead of playing in the Finals. the man got the right to do as pleased and he's not slave to nobody

you can't buy championships.
ask George Steinbrenner.
it's a team sport. playing as a squad requires a certain amount of chemistry. that's why a lot of teams 'on paper' don't look great but win. that's why so many great teams get built thru the draft process.
let LBJ ring chase. won't do him any good. it'll put fans in the seats but no rings on his fingers. and every professional team owner wants that ring. one of the few professional team exceptions to this rule are those teams owned by corporate entities as an investment, like the toronto maple leafs. they'll never win a championship cause to spend the money to build such a team doesn't make sense when they sell out every home game they play.
No disrespect....but using George Steinbrenner as an example as not being able to buy championships is fucking stupid. if there was EVER a guy in sports team ownership who bought championships...it was George. His pockets were bottomless with the help of their TV contract money.
Every year between 1995-2007 Cashman traded prospects and emptied out his farm system for big name one year players and sign marquee free agents like Giambi, Clemens and A-Rod to huge contracts. it was a big reason why critics argued for a salary cap but the players union would never agree to it.
Every year during that time frame the Yankees stayed at the top of baseball and won a few World Series along the way. ('96,98,'99,00,'09)
really?
how many championships have the yankees won in the past 14 years bro? one.
how much money did he spend chasing them in that decade and a half? im not talking about 'the top of baseball'. im talking about spending money to bring championships home. yeah you can spend money, build a team that competes. but you need chemistry to win championships. nobody cares about being competitive. all that matters is the ring. end of story.

i don't think chemistry plays as large a part in baseball as it does the other major sports.

Actually not true. The Yankees brought up guys in their farm system like Jeter, Bernie Williams, Tino Martinez, The best closer ever in Rivera, That big jew nose pitcher and a few others. They didn't have many Free Agents when they won their 4 together, it wasn't until recently where he started to throw a lot of money at it. George was almost ran out of NY for a while for being so cheap
When Lebron takes a much smaller pay cut, people hate on it.
Not sure what the hype is with Carmelo.
failed with the Nuggets and the Knicks.
Melo is lazy and a failure as a leader. Weak defense and shitty attitude when he's losing. I dislike his personality and I think he has a really punchable face.I agree
However, if the game was on the line, with a final shot, I would MUCH rather pass the ball to Melo than Lebron. As unstoppable as lebron is on the fast break, Melo is tall and just makes buckets.
Melo has all sorts of issues, but if he's on a winning team that's #1 all year long/cruises to the finals... and he doesn't have to be THE leader... and he's playing with a supporting personality friend like lebron, they're great buddies...
I think melo/lebron would win a ring, easily.
I agree
I'm not happy with the superstars all joining one another.
I'm sure dirk finds more comfort in his one ring then lebron does in his 2.
Not sure what the hype is with Carmelo.

This half-wit bitch isn't taking a pay-cut with his list of sponsors. That's like saying Jordan took a pay-cut to keep Pippen on the bulls roster. Cut his endorsement list in 1/2. Then, ask him to take a 60M/5Y deal.What kinda logic is that? That makes no sense. If you're taking less money than you are worth, or could make elsewhere then it's a paycut.
personality friend like lebron, they're great buddies...
I think melo/lebron would win a ring, easily.
if i could only pick one player, it'd be MJ because the refs would give it to him ;)
MJ was more dominant in his era.
Lebron is a more dominant player.
Lebron's era = WAY more difficult. All the int'l players, all the gh, all the sports nutrition and injury recovery advantages. Take away the refs/tv adnvatage, and lebron is kevin durant these days. And without pippen, MJ has 1-2 titles.
Lebron is sitting pretty. He can do one more year in MIA, he can listen to every offer out there. He's earned this position.
Wrong. No way bud. The defensive rules were a lot tougher in Jordan's era. Jordan would average 50 a game in his prime with today's defensive rules.
Check out 8:20 at this video on.Man I love 240. Nothing that happens, ever, EVER, EVER!!!! is legit. Any and every event that occurs is because of a larger conspiracy of people in the background making it happen.
In 1991, it was decided that Jordan was to be the new star. He won every title (except those 2 when he was out/partial-season comeback where it was just no way to hand it to them)- Think about that - You can see it from game 1 of the 92 season until he got that 6th title. He was given calls. NBA rules were changed. Each time they were down 0-2 to the Knicks, the games were completely reversed with phantom fouls.
Now, I do believe Jordan played harder than ANYONE, probably ever, save kobe perhaps. jordan was a KILLER on the court, a cut-throat who wanted not only to win, but to destroy other players and teams. Greatest competitive spirit ever. However, when you look at that video - the way he was a great player BEFORE 92 season, and unstoppable AFTER that, well... I think we can all agree it was a MARKETING thing, and that he was given an insane amount of gifts from that point fwd.

McDermott is American I think but I'm not certain.
wade is crazy.... take the 42 mil for 2 years and retire. I wonder if the Heat was promising him things, then will pull the plug on any deal if lebron bails. I mean, what is Wade really worth? Dude only played 2/3 the season and was silent in the finals. He is nowhere NEAR a max player.He's trying to be selfless and a team player, but "might" get screwed in the end. The Heat will screw him in a minute if they had the chance to get a younger player and say it was just business.

What idiots..
Take the money ..
Ain't beating the SPURS...
:D in 2015
Heat would be hurting themselves in a big way to sign Wade to a contract like that. Has he "earned" it for the city, sure. But would fans really want to hurt their chances over the next 5 years with an albatross like ten mil a year, for a 36 year old wade that can't jump at all.By restructuring the big 3's contracts it would clear out cap space to go out and sign some others. It would work if Wade could swallow his pride and agree to come off the bench like Genoblli. Lets see if Riley can work his magic again.
I could see them totally screwing him over on this... just CUTTING wade and signing a much more effective Melo for the same amount of money. But what option did he have? MIA would have blamed him for taking full $ if lebron left.

James is eligible and SEEKING to sign a five-year, $130 million extension with the Heat. That's not a pay cut.
These guys aren't going anywhere. They are just trying to find a way to manipulate the salary cap even more so they can bring another star player in. Lebron has Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and Ray Allen and still needs more help to win. Lol. Yep, better add Carmelo Anthony. Gotta win some more of those fake rings.
First of all thank God for this thread and the rest of the forum has turned into garbage.Kidd is doing whats best for him anyone would have taken that offer in his shoes
Lebron should attract players to him, I believe Melo is better then Bosh, so fuck him off and bring Carmelo, make him lose weight and defend.
Wade has to come off the bench or completely fuck off, his not old but his physically fucked. He did not play a full season and still had injury issues.
For all of them to opt in, I believe melo is joining. But I don't believe he will walk away from the extra 30M the knicks will give him.
What do I care, I dislike them anyway.
Pray4War, whats your take on Jason kidd jumping ship.
I hope Spurs can win again next year.
Kidd is doing whats best for him anyone would have taken that offer in his shoes
First of all thank God for this thread and the rest of the forum has turned into garbage.
Lebron should attract players to him, I believe Melo is better then Bosh, so fuck him off and bring Carmelo, make him lose weight and defend.
Wade has to come off the bench or completely fuck off, his not old but his physically fucked. He did not play a full season and still had injury issues.
For all of them to opt in, I believe melo is joining. But I don't believe he will walk away from the extra 30M the knicks will give him.
What do I care, I dislike them anyway.

I like Jason Kidd and I'm sure he'll turn into an excellent coach down the road. I find the whole thing with Kidd leaving NJ bazaar but I don't blame him. He can see the writing on the wall. I don't understand the idea of trading coaches for picks though.
Very good chance that San Antonio will repeat next year.
If the big 3 all re-sign, there will be enough money left for a 2-mil and a 5-mil exemption, plus all minimum money scrub players. Lebron gets his big contract, wade gets his 4-year deal for 50 or 60 million bucks, and bosh gets paid too. But the TEAM is gonna be weak.The next 2 weeks will be very interesting.
I am betting lebron goes on his 'listening tour' and hears something better. Even a simple Lebron + another big name + 2-3 decent guys would beat what the Heat can offer at this point. CHI, HOU, etc, they would all be better with lebron.
if they are making double out the gate with out doing shit then yes id be pissed if i were kidd he did a real bang up job last year with an aging over hyped squad.
my man, when does the new schedule get released?
i noticed that black lebron doesnt play a lick of defense thats his downfall what an idiotHis very good on defence falcon.

These guys aren't going anywhere. They are just trying to find a way to manipulate the salary cap even more so they can bring another star player in. Lebron has Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and Ray Allen and still needs more help to win. Lol. Yep, better add Carmelo Anthony. Gotta win some more of those fake rings.
I guess Kobe doesn't have to worry about fake rings cause even though he's gonna ave. 27 ppg, the rest of his team sucks, no one wants to play with him and the rest of the players suck. But wait, he shouldn't need good players cause he's Kobe, he has heart, he's a killer right? jajajaja
You're right, Kobe doesn't have to worry about fake rings because he has 5 real ones.
I don't understand this idiocy about how nobody wants to come and play with Kobe. It's just the latest in a long series of weak, flimsy criticisms from people that don't want to give Kobe the respect that he is due. It's a deflection because people know that it's wrong that today's young superstars don't want to compete against each other. Today's superstars only want to go to teams with stacked rosters. Also, they only want to play in the east because the east is weak right now and any newly formed "super team" would be virtually unopposed until they reached the NBA finals. They want no part of the western conference. What a joke.
Todays beta-ass, bitchmade players should hold their manhood cheap.
@ QB and 240 I agree with your last posts.
They should tell d Wade to fuck off but they won't.
Kobe even if you hate him and most do, you gotta love his winning attitude. Too bad more quality players didn't have that drive. Dwight Howard sure didn't. :D
I'll tell you what it is. Kobe is a dick. People don't like him. He's intense, which is admired, but he's also very good at telling players how to play, embarrassing them publicly, taking over practice, and telling others how to play their position. And his skillset is eroding, so it's not like its a guaranteed ring. Even with Kobe healthy, Lakers are still 4th in the west at best.Agree about Kobe being a dick. Here's a true story about Kobe being a complete dick of the court with nothing to do about basketball. My buddy has a friend who is a tailor who makes custom suits and clothes for NBA players. He measured Kobe for some suits when he was in Miami. The suits are done the guy flies to L.A. to Kobe's house to give him the suits. Kobe tries on the jackets they are all to tight. Kobe was working out put on some muscle and never bothered to tell the guy he got bigger. Kobe refused to pay the poor guy because the suits didn't fit. He is stuck with the suits out thousands of dollars.
think back to that all-star game when lebron passed the ball in the final seconds. Kobe made it a point to approach lebron, already feeling bad about not taking the shot, and went out of his way to belittle him for the cameras, 2 seconds after the buzzer. lebron was smothered and the other man had a better shot. yet because he didn't take a forced shot while completely covered, kobe tried to punk him verbally.
Now, if kobe will do that in a meaningless all-star game, punk lebron when he was already feeling shitty about losing the game last second... imagine the kinda shit he says to teammates and opponents alike, on a nightly basis. He's a dick. He's an amazing player, awesome competitor, and he gives a shit in a world where most players do not. But yeah, he's a dick. Nobody wants to worry about kobe getting in their face every night on the bench when they're up by 15.
You're right, Kobe doesn't have to worry about fake rings because he has 5 real ones.Kobe plays for the Lakers, a team with history, legends, greatness, that alone should attract great players, Lebron played in Cleveland, which was a dump before he got there and after he left. So he had to leave. That's the point you are missing.

Being nice is of no importance to me when it comes to athletes. I don't know these people, I'm not gonna be chilling with them, I don't care what they do off the court.

Today's players don't give a damn about history. They want to go to a team stacked with young talent in a weak conference where they can waltz to the NBA finals with minimal opposition.....immediate ly. I know Cleveland isn't LA and I'm not mad at Lebron for going to a better team/city. What I don't like is colluding with other superstars to stack the odds in your favor to win rings. That is exactly what Lebron, Wade and Bosh did. Then, as soon as things get a little tough in Miami Lebron wants to find other superstars to play with like Melo and he's looking to split for greener pastures....again. They clearly want nothing to do with the western conference because it is too competitive. Laughable.I agree that they want to play together, but what I am saying is that not just anywhere. You don't see them flocking to the Hornets, the Bucks, Nuggets, or Sixers. It has to be in a big market, and anywhere but Cleveland. After 7 years, you tell me the 3 best players Lebron played with it Cleveland and the 3 best Kobe Played with at LA and compare. Kobe=3 hall of famers/allstars and Lebron= 3 d-leaguers. That is the difference in organizations.
Bottom line, today's superstars are looking for the easy way out. They are the Anti-Jordans and the Anti-Kobes and should not be compared to those two. It doesn't mean that guys like Lebron aren't great players with tremendous talent. All it means is that their accomplishments are coming a lot cheaper than the legends of the past and that is by their design.
I was 18 or 19, living in sarasota, FL... Kobe came and played some pickup ball at manatee community college for some reason, getting ready for the draft. it was pretty big news, the best high school kid in country being local. the newspaper was covering it.Charlie Ward? He was Q Back for the Seminoles nook them to a national Championship and won the Heisman. He played for the Knicks as a point guard for Pat Riley. Kearse was the freak incredible athlete.
kobe was punking these sorry freshman college players. calling them names, winning pickup games 10-0, yelling "barbershop!" after every made shot, as he played with kids who didn't have the athleticism to push in ten shopping carts at publix, much less contain a future NBA all-star.
I've been dunked on by jevon kearse (dude is a beast, genetically one of the best the nfl has ever seen) in high school at north ft myers high, playing pickup games in 94 when they would open the gym at evening. I've been dunked on by charlie something, in 95?, he was an nba player for a few years, at the stars complex. Both times, the player dunked on me and got back on defense. I was a little ass guard just out of position and his man badly burnt both times. Only if they dunked on another player with EQUAL size or skill did they ever talk shit. I was a 5 11 kid, weighing 125 pounds... there was no victory in dunking on me.
but kobe? He was shit talking in front of the newspaper reporter, on scrubs. no class. and 20 years later, he's still doing it. It's nice to be important, but it's important to be nice, too. And even if you're not nice, just say nothing... kobe goes out of his way to find a camera then punk someone. epic insecurity despite having it all.

No superstar is doing it on their own.

Kobe won 2 rings without Shaq.Yeah with Gasol and Bynum.

Yeah with Gasol and Bynum.
Why is lebron having meetings with teams that he won't sign with.
Lakers and Cavs.
Wade and bosh did not have to opt out, they were getting almost the max, now lebron is taking meetings with other teams, I'm 80% sure wade and bosh are not going to meet with anyone, especially wade's bum ass.
Lebron is such a attention whore. Me me me me me.
It doesn't make sense because it's not like he has to manipulate Miami into paying him more. From what I hear he's just sending his agent and he's not showing up in person. Waste of his time and ours. He's just trying to make up for the fact that he can't have a tv show like "The Announcement" this time. Attention whoring at it's finest.He's just stroking his ego.
Attention whoring at it's finest.
He's just stroking his ego.
LeBron ain't no Jordan..
The SPURS have a great chance to repeat this year's champion run in 2015
LeBron is not staying in Miami..
Stupid of wade and Bosch to opt out..
Having 2 titles already.. idiots ;D
But Kobe has the power to make their practices miserable. He has the power to take over film sessions, and he frequently does. He pulls aside players during games and belittles them. He starts arguments on the bench.haha you sound like a woman gossiping
Yes, he is one of the greatest, but he's shady (snitching on shaq when he got caught for his own affair/rape charge) and he's belittling (shitting on lebron on camera 2 seconds after he missed all-star shot opportunity, and game was over.
So yeah, during those 48 minutes on the floor, everyone has their own responsibility. But outside of that, he's a dick and allowed to run things and really makes others hate being there. Dwight ran out of town. nobody is coming to visit. Kobe has made LA stink. People will line up to take half-pay to play with lebron, and even with all the cap space in the world, nobody will visit LA.
There's dominant, and then there's dickish.
plus, after all that knee and tendon drama, and old age... kobe looking soft on vacation. Not a big deal if he's 26. But he's turning 36 in a few weeks. Advanced age, spare tire, legs he cannot trust, and he's supposed to chase around john wall and steph curry? yikes.
Chris Broussard says it is looking more and more like CLE.His gut feeling, what a bunch of shit. Lebron's meeting with Pat Riley in the next few days. All the dominoes should fall into place by the end of the week.
It's all falling into place. We got Granger and McGriddle!
Never heard of McGriddle in my NBA loving life.(http://blog.jtclark.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/mcgriddle.jpg)
The bulls..lol.
People just can't let go of the Bulls for some reason. Derrick Rose's knees are dunzo ad so is his explosiveness. He'll be lucky if he can stay healthy for an entire year. Carmelo ain't going there first of all and even if he did they aren't going to win it all.
Rose is done, the best thing the bulls have going for them is that they are in the eastern conference.
Boozer is just the worst.
I was listening to first take this morning, skip bayless couldn't believe wiggins went number 1, now I don't watch college ball, what do you guys think? was Jabari (oh brother) Parker the better collegiate.
BTW are these guys born to crackheads. Carmelo, Lebron, Jabari. Fuck these names.
Wiggins didn't exactly blow people away with his play in college. Parker is a more NBA ready now but Wiggins is more athletic and has a better chance to end up being a Lebron type player when he matures. At least this is what a lot of NBA people were saying leading up to the draft. They like to use the term upside. I guess they think Wiggins has a higher ceiling.
RE: what black people name their kids. So ridiculous. They are just trying to come up with crazy stuff that doesn't "sound white". It's the equivalent of every black person talking in street thug ebonics regardless of where they live or their level of education. My favorite is that guy on the Atlanta Falcons. His name is Jacquizz Rogers. Fucking retards.
today's the day!Goodbye Bosch hello Melo.
leBron meets up with Pat Riley in Las Vegas. Will he succumb to the weak pressure of "one more year?" or will he let Pat Riley know, as I've been predicting, that he's not re-upping with the Heat?
In exactly 16 hours, NBA teams can officially start signing contracts with players. Will it be an insane flurry of news, as lebron's "decision" leaks out and suddenly the dominos start falling?
Bosh would be CRAZY to stay in Miami now. He'll leave 28 million "on the table" to play with lebron for 1 more year?
Goodbye Bosch hello Melo.
ugh, i dunno... Wade is history... literally cannot play at a high level 2 nights in a row.Do you really think she is unhappy in Miami, I don't. They still have the house in Akron, they go back in the summer kids go to private schools here. I think a lot is being made of going back to please here. Who the hell goes back to Cleveland once they are here.
IMO, this is NOT about rings - it's about family. Baby #3 on the way, his wife and mgmt team want ohio. his home, his school, his kids enrolled...
LBJ will always say "it's all about winning", but really, it's about family, it's about making a good living, it's about being happy with life, and OH gives him all that. He has 2 rings, he's the best in the league, and he'll be in the finals most years no matter where he is (in the east).
Cavs lost to the Spurs in the Finals with a much smaller point margin, than the 2014 Heat. His CLE teams - he and 4 scrubs - were more competitive. and he's a much better player now. Irving, wiggins, and whoever, they'll be right in the mix.
Gotta keep mama happy.... wifey wants home sweet home, that's where they're going...
If Bosh doesn't take that offer from Houston he's a fucking fool.

Dat decreasing marginal utility of money.
Moving trucks showed up today at LeBron's house. They packed up all lebron's fancy car collection and got them outta there. I don't think this happens - the day before he is to make his announcement - unless he's planning on going somewhere.If he goes back to Cleveland I completely understand. I wish him the best and thank him for 4 incredible years, and 2 championships. Lebron, is a bigger man than me if he forgives Dan Gilbert.

I tells ya... it all comes down to lebron turning 30... baby #3 on the way... he doesn't care about rings as much as he cares about family, keeping wifey happy, etc. The clues have been stacking - i've been saying since the January tweet to Wade's birthday - Lebron was leaving.
Pulling all of his fancy cars outta town - the day before "the Decision II" and making it clear it's either MIA or CLE tonight?

LeBron james is changing up his website to a color palette matching the cavs colors?This. If he doesn't go to Cleveland now after all the teasing this week, it will be the biggest troll job in history. He will never be able to go back to that state without a team of security if he says fuck you to them again.
http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/07/10/a-very-interesting-rationale-for-predicting-lebron-james-to-the-cavaliers/
New pages created yesterday - no content yet, but in the cavs HEX colors. Hmmm...
haha i read a comment somewhere.... imagine if lebron is just trolling cleveland to break their hearts again lol... biggest dick move ever, bigger than the decision lol.
This. If he doesn't go to Cleveland now after all the teasing this week, it will be the biggest troll job in history. He will never be able to go back to that state without a team of security if he says fuck you to them again.He or anyone on his team have said he is going back. It's all media speculation. so if they want to be pissed let them be pissed at the media.
You can't do this to them TWICE. Gilbert probably deserves it but you can't do that to the fans there and not expect to feel their wrath.
He or anyone on his team have said he is going back. It's all media speculation. so if they want to be pissed let them be pissed at the media.
If he goes back to Cleveland I completely understand. I wish him the best and thank him for 4 incredible years, and 2 championships. Lebron, is a bigger man than me if he forgives Dan Gilbert.Completely agree. Both sides won, if it's time to move on, so be it. My Heat will suck for a few years, but that is fine. I will trade a few years of being bad for 4 great years (2 championships and 4 finals) any day of the week.

R.I.P. Miami Heat fan base 2010-2014
Give them about 20 or 30 games into next season to figure out another first place team to latch onto.There were Heat fans before Lebron. They did win a championship in 2006 without Lebron. Don't underestimate Pat Riley.

People talk about Miami fans, but in the years that Lebron left, Cleveland was near the bottom in attendance. The only sellouts were when the heat came to play, before LBj, Miami was in the middle of the pack, so who are the bandwagon fans?
