Holy shit, ESPN trolling LeBron hard.

 

[The Stealth Fox]

I wonder if the Heat will match Cleveland's losing streak.

I'll be on as well if they get rid of Fernadez.

 

[reilo]

Even more ESPN trolling. This is GOLD:

@stephenasmith: Btw...I totally slept on LaMarcus Aldridge when he came out in the draft. I owe that man an apology. He's legit.

It's too bad DY isn't around BTW, I think he would have enjoyed watching Wall turn over the ball virtually every time he touched it, brick wide-open layups, and get shown up by Jordan motherfucking Crawford while losing by 30 to the worst offensive team in the league.

It's amazing how Wall gets up the floor in half a second, absolutely rips someone over with a cross over and then bricks a layup--all while being 6'4 and clearly having the ability to simply RISE UP AND DUNK THE FUCKING BASKETBALL.

With that said sharp...Jordan Crawford is a fucking cancer in the making.

 

[Owzers]

Chris Weber is speaking the truth right now on NBATV.

Truth hammer was fun to listen to.

 

[Blackace]

I like him, but it's really sad. He's SO slow.

He used to be silky smooth slow and wasn't as boring to watch, but his mobility has gone down the toilet.

He can still contribute because he does other things very well, and that will make him last, but I don't think he'll ever be the star he once was.

And blackace I know you're biased because he's a seattle boy.

Not only a Seattle but he graduated from the same high school as me, and went to UW.. and somehow stayed in the Northwest.

I think he will get some of his mobility back and he will be silky smooth again once he trusts his body not to explode again..

He won't be Grant Hill like roleplayer yet but I don't know if he will be elite again..

Hypothetical : how good would the Heat be if they had Bosh's money going to Deron instead?

so will all you morons stop bitching about ESPN's "agenda" from now on?

 

[Cloudy]

ESPN NBA page trolling hard with their headline:

"A Far Cry" lol

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

They still cover them as if they matter.

Over the Hill is a beast.

The fact that people love talking about them justifies the coverage, win or lose.

Dude, if you think the media is only supposed to cover feel good and success stories, then I don't know what to say. It isn't this way in anything.

The only thing ESPN likes more than winners with a superstar is a team with superstars losing and shitting the bed.

Yeah.. and this is where discussion goes down hill..

 

[The Stealth Fox]

You can blame it on Spo if you want but that whole team is a mess.

Yeah.. and this is where discussion goes down hill..

The Magic would kill for Grant Hill right about now.

Awesome.

I would do a shop but I need some inspiration.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

So if we send Mike Miller to life/basketball/career/anything rehab right now and get him back in year 3 of his 5 year contract, it's still a discount right?

The only contract in basketball worse than Al Harrington and Travis Outlaw.

I wish they'd cover really good basketball teams more.

The Heat have talent but they get Favre coverage.

The Heat being the lead story every night means we live in a WWE society.

 

[The Chosen One]

Yes Wade definitely made a strong case for why he should dominate the ball in the 4th quarter. He brought them back until Bosh/Lebron bricked it.

Much is said about the Heat's pathetic bench/role players, but it seems the bench guys rarely get good looks. The ball is dominated so much by the main 3 guys, they're pretty much reduced to table scraps.

If you notice guys like Chalmers can get going once they're given several good lucks in the flow of play (not off broken plays).

Mike Miller is trash though. He's adding nothing and the Bibby signing looks to be one of the biggest flops. Yeah Bibby is struggling but the current Heat system doesn't give any oxygen to PGs.

And yes, Bosh was pathetic tonight but he is being misused. He's had to adjust his game moreso than anybody on the Heat and it means he's going to have inconsistent performances like tonight.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

whatever man spo spilling the beans on crying sealed the deal

 

[Black Mamba]

No way Spo gets fired this late in the season. And n way Riley takes over at this moment.

Spo is going nowhere until the off-season.

He probably won't even be fired in the off-season either. I wager he's gonna pull a SVG and resign before december.

Well, yeah, you're not surprised are you? In a society where bullshit lead stories (Paris, Britney, etc.) take place over actual, relevant news.

Many teams would like to have Hill.. no team would kill for Hill...

Possibly. But it's not Spo's fault. A coach will not fix these problems, sorry.

dat 14 ppg on 48% shooting and dat defense

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Hypothetical : how good would the Heat be if they had Bosh's money going to Deron instead?

They'd be worse. He would stand around and do nothing. Bosh is at least tall. You can't teach that!

 

[overcast]

Shit, kevin martin has been playing terrible the past few games :\

Heat @ Hawks, March 18th. Two teams (Who happen to be clones of each other) in the playoff race playing like they're tanking for draft picks, shameball classic.

Kind of a shame that the Heat took all the attention away from the Hawks' collapse. That team's going to finish with the 7th seed and a negative point differential and I can't see that core winning a playoff game ever again. And they're over the cap for like the next six years. There's a total blowup coming for them after the lockout.

They'd be worse. He would stand around and do nothing. Bosh is at least tall. You can't teach that!

I've complained about Deron a lot this season, but he's one of the best players in the league moving without the ball.


Bucks are going to make the playoffs with like 32 wins, back half of the East is so terrible.

 

[charsace]

So no heat players being exposed for crying tonight? Maybe they took Phil Jackson's advice and went to the shitter to let their tears loose?

 

[The Stealth Fox]

Worst best player to have on your team ever.

 

[diehard]

He's just joking man.

lawl

they had that in Vince Carter..

 

[overcast]

Seriously. I have a huge love/hate relationship with everybody on this squad. Lowry is a perfect example.

 

[Black Mamba]

Bosh: "I’m a big man. I can shoot the ball but I’m a big man. So I have to get it where big guys get it. Then I feel I can start helping out

You go girl!

 

[exarkun]

Why are they booing Dragic? He didn't ask to be traded.

Tasteless.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Stephon Marbury.

Oh, I absolutely agree. I don't want him on this team at all and I hope he has a few more performances like this so we can trade him for another draft pick at the first available opportunity.

 

[The Stealth Fox]

lawl

Grant Hill did a good job of guarding Kobe in the WCF. Dat duke defense (him and Shane Battier trade notes).

Vince Carter plays like he's further along in his career as compared to Grant. Grant is playing like he's 32. Vince Carter is playing like he's 84.

Don't understand why the Suns crowd is booing Dragic Johnson. He was the reason the Suns finally beat the Spurs for the first time in human history.
