I'm waiting for Heatles Age to defend the indefensible. Oh wait, they defend 8 chips, the celebration, etc, ofcourse theyll defend the jersey.

 

[Lunchbox]

Seriously though, what's the story behind the Jordan jersey?

they heard he was a cool player, got shoes and shit named after him

so they thought it would attract some people in the stadium

 

[Owzers]

was that another garbage foul against the celtics?

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Hahaha

Seriously though, what's the story behind the Jordan jersey?

Pat Riley believed Jordan number should be retired league wide so he did so for the Heat.

Just a quick Google search. Riley's doing.

No story, the Heat retired his jersey for "contribution for basketball".
And yeah, they're the only team (outside the Bulls) who did that.
Storied franchise.

 

[The Chosen One]

Lebron doesn't look fully engaged.

 

[Red Blaster]

Seriously though, what's the story behind the Jordan jersey?

You don't remember all those great years when Jordan played for the Heat?

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Pat Riley believed Jordan number should be retired league wide so he did so for the Heat.

Riles should retire Magic, Bird, Russell, Mika , Kareem, Ervings jersey than too. Better yet , let him retire te jersey of every hall of famer.

 

[Iadien]

Did he just trip over his own feet?

 

[Mothman91]

Rondo doing work.

 

[ph33nix]

I sure don't hear anyone bitching about the refs now

 

[Ripclawe]

Lebron doesn't look fully engaged.

none of them look fully anything.

 

[weekend_warrior]

He wasn't taking the shoot, but he was "gathered going into the shot". omg.

 

[Sanjuro]

Pat Riley believed Jordan number should be retired league wide so he did so for the Heat.

Then why isn't Jackie Robinson's number retired? Racists.

I sure don't hear anyone bitching about the refs now

BOSrefs

 

[friskykillface]

Amazing if the heat didn't get those 7 free points from lol bad calls , the lead would be bigger

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Heres Spoelstra with his "Stay engaged! Keep at it! We can do it!" speech.

 

[Kwhit10]

I sure don't hear anyone bitching about the refs now

Yea fuck them the Celts only barely have over double the fouls the Heat have.

 

[DMczaf]

Heat are playing like they just stole home court in Game 1.

I know your home crowd is bad, but damn.

 

[Ripclawe]

Coach Pop: Get nasty

Coach Spo: come on guys...

A shitty beginning to this game

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

I sure don't hear anyone bitching about the refs now

Um, how many fouls on Miami? How many on Boston? Oh yea...

 

[mysticwhip]

heat looking lazy as fuck

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Coach Pop: Get nasty

Coach Spo: come on guys...

A shitty beginning to this game

Just the East fuckball being fuckball.

 

[Big Baybee]

How long until Wade thugs out on Spo?

 

[MiamiWesker]

Someone needs to wake up. They need to find a way to get Wade going.

 

[Mxrz]

Good weather. Good pizza. Good beer. Shitty game. Figures.

 

[Lunchbox]

I sure don't hear anyone bitching about the refs now

not enough technicals in this game for you?

 

[CrazyDogg77]

Ha ha Wade's only stat is 2 rebounds.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

not enough technicals in this game for you?

Lol.

 

[ph33nix]

Yea fuck them the Celts only barely have over double the fouls the Heat have.

When the Celtics actually fouled them all people did was bitch about the difference in the amount of calls. Celtics get some actual gifts and that apparently doesn't matter.

 

[giri]

Just the East fuckball being fuckball.

No.

No.

You can not describe this as fuckball.

That is specifically reserved for what the pacers do. They're on a special level of fuck.

This is just EC ball.

 

[friskykillface]

smh guard the 3's


Lol rondo jumper hitting

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Another foul. SHOCKING!!!

 

[The Frankman]

I sure don't hear anyone bitching about the refs now

Patience... The Button does not simply happen out of wishing for it.

 

[Dominican Power]

BOBCATS LULZ

 

[Kwhit10]

When the Celtics actually fouled them all people did was bitch about the difference in the amount of calls. Celtics get some actual gifts and that apparently doesn't matter.

Yea because they are still 5 gifts behind the Heat...

 

[MiamiWesker]

62% FG for Boston, wow.

 

[ph33nix]

Time for some 2-3 pick and rolls if they are choosing to double wade

Yea because they are still 5 gifts behind the Heat...

it's the NBA not 5th grade basketball. why do you think every team is supposed to be equal in calls?

 

[Chichikov]

How many more of those high pick and roll the heat are going to run before they realize that the Celtics are trapping and they need to change the angles of the shooters or do some iso plays?

Such a dumb basketball team.

 

[The Chosen One]

Rondo Best PG

 

[friskykillface]

lol rondo jumpers

 

[thekad]

Rondo telling diehard to stfu

 

[brianjones]

[Sanjuro]

You ain't Santa.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

There's nothing you can do if Rondo hits his jumper

 

[dream]

Rondo Best PG

If only he could shoot.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Okay who is this Rondo doppelganger?

 

[Big Baybee]

Chalmers is so dumb LMAO

 

[MiamiWesker]

A defensive stop please. you remember what that is Heat?
