2014 NBA - The Heat will not win it all this year.

[K-1]

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.

Compared to who? Slow your roll there...Bill Russell won 11 titles as a player in NBA and 2 NCAA. That won't ever be matched imo. Ever.  

[Pray_4_War]

And Phil Jackson, with his 11 titles, is a bologna sandwich?? 

Pop and Phil are apples and oranges.

These who would you start a team with are stupid because there are so many other factors.  If my coach is Popovich, I want Duncan.  If my coach is Phil, I'd take Kobe instead of Duncan.  It's all hypothetical and just a matter of opinion so it's really not worth arguing about.  5 rings is 5 rings.  If you get either of these two guys you are going to be stacking chips.

Lebron sounded like he is leaving Miami..
He just got interviewed and didn't say he ain't leaving..

not surprised. that team is dead. No bench. No life at all. Go to chicago.

[gmflex]

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..

[The_Punisher]

He can never be the next Jordan. No one can. It's Jordan and everybody else a very far second.

Amen to that. anyone here argue with this is a fucking idiot. PERIOD

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.

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.

even if he leaves Miami, he would wanna be in a team with a potential to win a trophy. right now, emotions are high and speculations are all over the place, but this so called Big 3 is fucking Done. 4 finals, 2 championships, it's been fun

[Quickerblade]

lebron looked at wades fat face and will decide to leave.

[Pray_4_War]

This is going to be an interesting off season.

[240 is Back]

This is going to be an interesting off season.

i remember 4 years ago when lebron was touring the country, everyone waiting to see who went where, all these promises and mind-changing...

I think lebron will handle it a little better this time - no espn show - but I do think he's gone.  I've been working and watching Kill Bill tonight, haven't watched the post game talk yet.

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.

This was so awesome to watch

[calfzilla]

The big 3  were beaten by a bunch of old man who pass the ball around.

[Quickerblade]

Lebron is more of a domonique wilkens type

[Man of Steel]

The post season is over now and I can get some sleep again.

Priceless but true

[Quickerblade]

Lebron needs to look at Duncan, and how the spurs did it.
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.

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

[Man of Steel]

Could Phil Jackson have developed and coached the current line up of Spurs to a single championship? 

I say no.

[Nails]

Heat did far better with their big 3 then Kobes big 5

[Hulkotron]

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 Malone
4. Gary Payton "The Glove" oh brother
5. Devean George?
