Love, Iggy, Pau, LMA, Bosh?

Lawl.

Is this the 2000s again? Love and Paul were legit MVP candidates.
Bosh vs KG hasn't really been close. KG would kill to be able to handle being a legit number one again.

LMA is a bit better too.
Iggy is a tossup

Iggy, Rondo, Carmelo, Wade, Bosh... oh my

Celtics simply aren't even worth mentioning without Garnett on that team.

And?
Wtf do you think they would be without Rondo. Melo, Wade and Bosh are waaaaaaaaaaay above KG. Troll better bruh.

He's a lot better than Iggy, Melo, and Rondo and I think he's better than Kobe and Bosh as well. It's back and forth between him and Deron since KG is the best defender in the NBA right now with Bogut and Dwight hurt while Deron is a terrible defender (possibly the worst in the NBA at closing out on three point shooters)

A lot eh? LMAO

 

[Dominican Power]

The Lakers are a lot more despicable than the Heat, not sure it's even really a debate.

The Lakers have a level prestige that The Heat wish they had. I mean, when you're a franchise that retires a HOF player's jersey that never played for you...

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

LeBron, Noah, Chandler

KG is better than Noah at everything on defense, Noah's arms are too short to protect the rim like KG can and he gets abused one-on-one. Chandler and LeBron are great, but LeBron is lazy on defense too often and I think KG is smarter than Chandler.

 

[DY_nasty]

And?
Wtf do you think they would be without Rondo. Melo, Wade and Bosh are waaaaaaaaaaay above KG. Troll better bruh.

You're asking me what I think they'd be without Rondo after I've been one of the main people dogging him out all season long.

Take a deep breath and tilt your head backwards. If you think KG is Iguodala-tier, you probably had a long night.

 

[KingKong]

I mean KG is one of the best defenders ever, but at this point he just cant play heavy minutes

 

[Emwitus]

So are we comparing bosh to garnett now? LOL

You dog him because hating is what you do. Doesn't make you right. After 08, the celtics have been all about Rondo. If in aint clear to you that they would be hot garbage without the kid then maybe you should tilt your head.

 

[The Chosen One]

Steve Nash leaves to division rival LA: Good move for him, I hope he's happy there and get's his chip.

Ray Allen leaves to conference rival MIA: TRAITOR, JUDAS, BITCHMADEEEEEEEEEEEE!

lulz

If the Suns were actually relevant this year and were eliminated in the WCF by the Lakers, then yeah it would have been "bitchmade". But the Suns were on their way to being a lottery team and Suns are several years removed from their playoff intense battles with the Lakers.

Whereas Boston were basically one game away from going to the Finals and blowing up the Heat experiment. They were the only team in the playoffs that actually gave the Heat a full 7 game series. The Celtics/Heat are very much an active rivalry. So of course Ray is a backstabber, bitchmade, or whatever for jumping to their rival for less money.

If Ray Allen had a problem with Rondo's self-important attitude, then of course Wade and Lebron is going to be so much of an improvement. [/bleeding with sarcasm]

If Ray thought it was bad when he had cold streaks in Boston, he's going to be thrown completely under the bus by Miami fans when he has a cold spell with the Heat. He'll enjoy cries of "Ray Allen is a bum!!!", "Lebron needs help!!!!!111"

His minutes have been the same for 5 years.

 

[Nori Chan]

How can you be more despicable than a team with Ron Artest, Andrew Bynum, Kobe Bryant and Matt Barnes.

easy

just be a team of lebron james dwyane wade udonis haslem ray allen and shane battier

Nash moves to divison rival from a team that did not even make the playoffs, Ray allen moved from a team that took it's rival to game 7. But let's delude ourselves.

 

[KingKong]

His minutes have been the same for 5 years.

The minutes are the same but he is obviously a lot more tired (and Doc heavily regulates his rest)

from the heat forum

 

[Adam Blade]

Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin has been elevated to a lock to make Team USA's Olympic squad, according to sources close to the process, leaving USA Basketball coaches and officials with essentially five players for two remaining roster spots.

Sources told ESPN.com that Griffin quietly has been added to that group as well, leaving five players -- Anthony Davis, Rudy Gay, Eric Gordon, James Larden and Andre Iguodala -- in contention for the last two roster berths, to be revealed following Saturday's practice session.

One source said Friday that Iguodala and Larden went into camp as the favorites for the last two spots.

So, who else makes it?

Where's SunhiLegend to show him how it's done?

So basically, bullshit narrative is the only proof you can provide that Ray is a traitor while you ignore the other issues. Cool.

Tell me again when Love's team got 30 win.
LMA Defense n rebounding was shit compared to KG

Iggy? bwahahahahey

Paul.. I thought you said Pau.

KG still the best defensive anchor after Dwight, and still averaging around 20/10 in the playoff, no way he's not better than some of those name that you listing that not even on winning team, + iggy.

You just spent 4 paragraphs writing qualifiers

 

[Vire]

Y'all jealous as fuck cause you know we already won. Heyooo

Best take up watching ice soccer now, cause it's gonna be 305 for the next 5 years.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Ray is a traitor for taking less money? If he had signed with the Celtics for whatever they were offering, Boston fans would have just spent the next 2 seasons jeering him for being overpaid anyway. Why exactly are you mad again? Basically you didn't want him back, but you wanted to dictate where he could go? Let it go. Sports fans can be so fucking stupid sometimes.

 

[Adam Blade]

Benashdict is pretty bad, wouldn't you say?

 

[iamshadowlark]

Tell me again when Love's team got 30 win.

Um lol. Did you see what Love suited up with night after night? Switch them and Wolves are Bobcat bad.

LMA Defense n rebounding was shit compared to KG

LMA is still alot better.

Iggy? bwahahahahey

Probably a tossup

I don't think he's a traitor. I just respect him less the more I see the reason he's leaving is his ego and wasn't down with the team concept.

Ray Allen, who left Celtics for Heat, reportedly had major problems w/PG Rajon Rondo. "Jealousy issue," opposing GM said. "Ray's that way."

GM added Allen "wanted to go Hollywood" but that role "got to be played by Kobe. Ray never liked him. Kobe was winning, getting endorsements, playing in LA. Kobe didn't do anything wrong, Ray just wanted that type of fame." And now, "Allen doesn't like the fact he's fading and Rondo is rising."

but pride! bitchmade! how you gonna counter that?

Its not that much different anyway.

LMA is still alot better.

At what? probably a bit at offensive end because dude still can jump n playing 40 minute, mostly what he does is sporting long 2 like KG anyway, at everything else its 50 year old KG n its not even close.

Probably a tossup

Stop taking bad pill bruh, Iggy is just a bit better than Tony Allen in last 2 year.

Eh Chandler was better this year.

Its comparable.

 

[Emwitus]

Dang. I can't wait for the heat to get bounced by the pacers next year.

[CherryWoodFuton]

I for one can't wait to see Ray Allen's ugly ass mother sporting a bejeweled Heat jersey courtside

Because it makes being a bobcats fan easier.

The "team concept" that traded Perkins? THe "team concept" that tried to ship Ray's own ass out a few times? The "team concept" that even tried to trade Rondo on a couple of occasions? The "team concept" that had Avery Bradley starting and signed Jason Terry, leaving Ray with no real place on the team? Everyone's out for themselves, including Ainge and the Celtics, except for whatever reason people think players are selfish assholes when they do it.

 

[iamshadowlark]

Its not that much different anyway.

Maybe not, Wolves suck. Doesn't change the fact that Love is alot better than KG at this point.

IDK what people are mad for. Ainge got what he wanted. Ray is off the roster.

Unless you tell me he only wanted to use Ray to get whatever and not give a shit about him. Naw can't be thats insane.

 

[charsace]

What makes being a Knicks fan easy?

Knowing that I can always torment the Bobcats?

And Ray did the right thing. You have to look out for yourself.

When the team is playing better and your coming off injury don't bitch and moan about coming off the bench. It was proven Doc was right because Ray was trash this years playoffs when Avery went down and he got to start again. He had almost no impact. He didn't want to take a different role to make the team better even though he was getting basically the same minutes. So yeah..he didn't buy into their team concept.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Love is better offensively than KG ever was, but on D? Eh...

If he was trash why are you mad he didn't resign with you? Would you only be happy if he signed with the fuckin Bobcats? It would have been like Laker fans getting mad at Fisher for signing with the Thunder. I didn't give a shit, Fisher was toast and we didn't want him back, so more power to him. Maybe this is why Boston can't get any good free agents to sign with the Celtics. "Hey come to Boston! Help us win a title, and when you leave, we'll have the Boston Globe throw you under the bus and our fans will call you a traitor!"

So Doc was right that the team is better off without Ray. Him leaving sounds like the ultimate team move eh?

LOL fuck the Celtics and their crybaby ass, want my cake and ice cream too fans.

 

[charsace]

Boston was shopping Ray anyways so its not like they are loyal to him. And now Boston fans pretend that they weren't talking about trading Ray before the deadline because Avery was coming along well. Bradley took the spot from Ray. Which is why Boston was shopping him and traded him(though the trade was cancelled at the last minute). Boston fans nor the organization have no right to be mad at Ray for signing with the heat.

 

[DY_nasty]

By losing at home to the worst team of all-time?

 

[Byakuya769]

The Lakers have a level prestige that The Heat wish they had. I mean, when you're a franchise that retires a HOF player's jersey that never played for you...

And the Heat have the same # of ships as the Knicks. Keep holding on to prestige though.
