[BIG LEEMELONE]

I'd put money the heat finish with a better record the the Sixers. .

Without bosh it looks pretty bleak...

Where you see all these decent players at?

With Bosh out that's the worst roster in the league outside of the Nets

lmaooooo I keep forgetting about Waiters -- the fact that his usage rate will go up with Bosh out automatically spells doomsday for Miami

Golden 1 center upper level will have no cup holders. The floor will be grimey by the 3rd game, but hey, atleast you'll know what bathroom lines are the shortest. Keep up the great work Vivek

I want russ to go full beast mode. Demand the match-up on Durant and drop 40 on him. Then don't dap him up after the game either

This needs to be punctuated by him giving Beta the same look Bron gave Steph after blocking him in the finals.

 

[atransta]

 

 this got me.

 

[Cashflow]

Russ going to keep this up all year, can't wait for their game

Russ is going to put that Beta Boy on a Poster
this season and I CANNOT WAIT!

I'd put money the heat finish with a better record the the Sixers. .

Vegas has the Sixers winning 29 games and Heat winning 37 with Bosh, Without Bosh they could finish below 29

BREAKING: Kevin Garnett will not return to the #twolves this season. A retirement announcement expected shortly

 

[MVP]

My entire basketball childhood gone in one summer. Mamba, Fundamental, and now Big Ticket. Thanks for the memories KG.

Winslow era begins

Kevin Garnett has
* more career points than Jerry West & A Iverson
* more rebs than Shaq & Hakeem
* more assists than Walt Frazier & D Wade
— Tommy Beer (@TommyBeer) September 23, 2016

I thought this was pretty cool

 

[HIM]

What a humble move by KG. He didn't have to take anyone's shine like Duncan did to Kobe. He let the whole summer play out and is going to quietly retire. Let Duncan and Kobe take all the shine. All class

Not cereal

 

[pmatic]

GOAT HOF class.

Only 3 going on 4 years after the '13 title and none of the big 3 are playing for Miami. Unbelievable.

More clotting complications derail Chris Bosh's comeback attempt: hrld.us/2cXjdz5

:\ |I

Guy just needs to retire. He's still guaranteed 75 mil or something like that. Go coach a high school or AAU team or something

ball is literally life for a lot of these guys. Walking away ain't that easy. Pickup games, coaching, golf, etc ain't the same.

 

[MVP]

GOAT HOF class.

Bosh forced to retire as well as Tameka Catchings...when do HOF tickets usually go on sale. This is a bucket list opportunity for sure.
