The NBA Thread

Dan Gilbert, the Cavs owner, is the biggest dip s*** in the NBA. He puts out his letter to the fans blaming everything on Lebron. It is tough enough to get free agents to come to Cleveland in the first place, why would they want to come now knowing the owner is a lunatic that will throw you under the bus when you leave town. He called Lebron a coward for leaving and said it was a betrayal but it turns out the Cavs completed a sign and trade with Lebron. I know they did it so they wouldnt get left with nothing but Gilbert didnt have to open his stupid mouth in the first place.

Not gonna lie, I was laughing pretty hard...

Hopefully the Celtics have another run in them.

Did anyone read what Dwade said about the Heat? Pretty much he said if the Heat lose 2 in a row it will be as bad as the 9/11. Of course this led to backlash.

Yeah I just seen that 9/11 post he made on MSN an hour or so ago. WHat a jerk. [QUOTE=AJHill;191839]That's not LeBron's twitter account, it's a joke account.

[QUOTE=mr.unamazing;191869]Did anyone read what Dwade said about the Heat? Pretty much he said if the Heat lose 2 in a row it will be as bad as the 9/11. Of course this led to backlash.[/QUOTE] Actually he said that they are being so talked about that if the Heat lost a few games in a row that the [B]media[/B] would blow it up like it was so horrible and on the scale of a tragedy like 9/11 when really it's not such a big deal since it's just basketball. And what did the media do? They took that quote and ran with it and blew it up like it was as horrible as 9/11 just proving his point. [QUOTE]"There's going to be times when we might lose one, two games in a row, maybe two games, three games in a row, you never know. It's going to seem like the world is crashed down. You all are going to make it seem like the World Trade has just went down again. But it's not going to be nothing but a couple basketball games lost and we'll have to get back on track."[/QUOTE]

I think it is funny how a lot of espn analysts say that the heat have Lebron, Wade, and Bosh, and then nothing. Mike Miller is one of the best shooters in the game, Chalmers is a solid young point guard, and Haslem was a big reason why the heat won the ship in 06. Lebron, Wade, and Bosh are a lot better and younger than KG, Pierce, and Allen were when they all joined in Boston, plus the heat have a much better supporting cast than boston did originally. I don't see how anyone can beat Miami this year or for the next couple years for that matter.

Does all this Heat talk really matter? Lakers are going to take it again :-)!

I completely agree with the overall scene with the Lakers beating the Heat though. If Bynum is healthy, it might not even take the Lakers 6 games to win

I think it's funny that LeBron didn't want to wear #23 because he [strike]didn't want there to be a discussion about who the best #23 was[/strike] wanted to honor Michael Jordan...and then changed his jersey to 6. He doesn't even belong in a discussion of who the best #6 is...

[QUOTE=Bacchus;192388]Well, there is that one guy that has 11 Championship rings and another who defined the modern era of play - but who's keeping score (well, besides Lebron's Ego.)[/QUOTE] Well yeah, but not winning in '58 really tarnished his reputation ;)

Well the heat suck, so lebron should go back to the cavs and bosh back to the raptors. But in defense of lebron he said he was taking his talents to south beach not boston which is where they played tonight.

[QUOTE=Bacchus;216714]Looks like the Heat vs. Celtics argument was settled tonight. Next...[/QUOTE] In Boston and in October, no doubt .....

I like Bosh and Wade... but I'm really starting to dislike Lebron. Go Wizards.... yeah I know they suck, but Wall is the man and he's fun as hell to watch.

The starting line up is the first 5 announced, right? So it's Lebron, Wade, Bosh, a white chick with sunglasses on at night, and...a black chick with sunglasses on at night? 3. THE BALL IS ON FIRE!! PUT IT OUT!!

[QUOTE=rey2pokey;218684][/QUOTE] Ah, I love it. So annoyed by the actual commercial during opening season.

[QUOTE=Bacchus;220495]Anyone watch the Boston Celtics play the Miami [strike]Hype[/strike] Heat last night? Ray Allen was on fire and Rondo just keeps getting better. It was once again made glaringly obvious that James can't win basketball games by himself against good teams.[/QUOTE] I got a chuckle out of this: [url=http://vevmo.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=8226][img]http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/15504cdd5f3966206.png[/img][/url] James played really well last night though. Too bad he can't do it by himself.

Wade and Lebron keep saying its a chemistry problem. IMO, the problem is that they can not defend Rondo, Allen, or any Boston Big.
