Yeah, I heard that about Barnes. Sucks.
Once we're fully healthy our main rotation should be pretty good. I really like how Iggy fits with our team. Doesn't need to dominate the ball, but can score off penetration when needed, defends, rebounds, etc. Also saw him make a ton of nice passes in the preseason so he should do well for us in transition, both with scoring and facilitating to our shooters.
I just hope we can stay healthy. Mainly Steph and Bogut. If they do and the younger guys continue to develop (like Barnes and Klay) we'll be looking good.

Looks like they finally added League Pass support for the PS3.
e: and there is a Vita version as well.

Don't really have an NBA team. I like watching Miami play just because it's always some of the best ball out there. Enjoy watching the Clippers, although apparently they're not gonna be as flashy this year. Looking forward to see if the Nets experiment will work, but I have my doubts in regards to Kidd as a coach.

It probably sucks just as much as the 360 app.

What
The Heat don't play fundamentally sound basketball half of the time, and that's okay.

Store description says PS4 but I just downloaded the Vita version. So they just goofed that up.
Miami/San Antonio was the best Finals series in a long time... Miami plays a very appealing game.

I don't really see what's not pure or not that watchable about the Nets, Heat, Bulls, Hawks, or Wizards this year. Those teams are loaded with smart, unselfish players who have fun styles.
Wizards - only if Beal throws Wall in the bushes opening night

5th in PPG and 1st in field goal percentage last year...their execution and efficiency is pretty darn good.

I hope he doesnt mean only teams that run up and down the court giving up 100+ pts a game good fundamental basketball.
That's not the same...
The next time you see Chris Bosh attempt a three to win a game, remember my name.
I thought you actually knew what you were talking about. Why were you even allowed to make this thread?
He's on the pistons.

So they aren't fundementally sound but rank in the top 10 for steals, blocks, field goal percentage, and points per game in addition to being 2-time defending champions. Alright.
I hate Garnett and Pierce almost equally...Pierce gets the slight edge because his career is so overrated it's disgusting. I'd actually want Garnett on my team if I had one.

I hate the heat, but they play defense and pass the ball with the best of them. Only thing you can say is that they don't rebound but that's pretty much it.
Bulls play defense, rebound and pass the ball.
Nets have the potential to be a good passing team, than can shoot and play defense.
I agree on this account.
LBJ's refusal to enter the post in recent years was cringeworthy too. Chalmers running point makes Red weep in his grave. They've got better though. LBJ is a don and basically does everything a team ever needed - buts its just mindnumbing how they still can only get him and Wade to truly mesh once every 6 games or so.
When does Bosh taking a 3 ever make sense? Come on. They can be the best team of all time and that'd still be dumb as fuck.

Racist ass Jazz fan.
Says the dude that thinks the Heat are gonna win 70 games plus this year. Hop off.
I totally forgot about that.
There are times when that team is completely and utterly lost what to do offensively. The Pacers completely took them out of their game and element in the ECF, but the Heat are just so much more talented that they were still able to overcome.
A fundamentally sound team, like the Spurs, executes their gameplan game in and game out. They are consistent. We saw exactly that from them, but their talent level and athleticism just wasn't there.
If you don't understand that difference, then I don't know what to tell you.
I'll start preparing your new av @ halftime when the game is already decided.

Pointing out one questionable decision doesn't eliminate facts, try again.

Erm, it's not one time that this happens. It happens far more than you think for a team as talented as the Heat.
Watching the Celtics in their prime versus the Heat isn't even a contest as to what a difference in execution of play is, despite the former being several years older and past their prime at the time.
Add in a healthier Wade, baby Kareem in the middle assuming his knees hold up, and a slightly more reckless version of Carmelo Anthony in Beasley, and they can't win 5 more games?
I like Miller, but lol @ anyone that thinks the Heat didn't get a LOT better this offseason, not just a little.
Oh right, I forgot the reason armchair NBA experts always give for a team falling off despite continued dominance, working harder in the offseason, improving your game, bringing in more pieces..."a year passed" lol
Closest Yardhouse to me is all the way in Boca Raton, don't wanna go that far but I've heard good things about that place. Never been.
You know which other Heat fan really loves Buffalo Wild Wings? It makes too much sense.
Almost as dumb as some of your gems..."The Heat don't play fundamentally sound basketball half of the time".
They do it all the time. We're talking about play design, offensive scheme, tempo, and best usage of their players' abilities. Of course it counts lol
Its dumber than running an offense through Dwight - and that's also something that a very high scoring/efficient team did. It doesn't make it good basketball.
But good basketball doesn't always win. If it did, then Larry Brown would have 20 rings between college and the NBA.
Don't get your panties in a bunch.
You must not have tried their Parmesan Garlic, Asian Zing, or Honey BBQ sauce. Plus I have one right around the corner.

This isn't an argument over who is the most fundementally sound team in the league past or present. I'm just sitting here telling you it's dumb to claim the heat have bad fundementals and are bad offensively when stats say others. Numbers are the closet thing we have to the word of God brah, don't fight them.

All I know the 360 app was terrible when I tried to use it last season. It buffered constantly. Also, it's a solid minute behind.
But, please, I'd love to know how the PS3 app is. It can't be worse, right?

Spo is a fucking moron sometimes:

Why he doesn't start Shane instead of Haslem is just beyond me. It's so obvious in every game, I didn't need this article to tell me. And yet, he's going to most likely start Haslem tonight.

It all depends on what you consider fundamentally sound. When you use Bosh shooting a 3 as a reason they don't, it makes it sound as if youre saying they win despite horrible decisions, just because they're talented.
If you mean they mix it up well and keep opposing coaches scratching their heads because Spoelstra is a wizard, then ok I guess. Fundamentally sound = predictable.
I don't think its BAD. Just that it isn't best in the league. I don't think anyone will say they play terrible basketball. That's absurd hyperbole.
