ALL of which, are possible.
People on their knees worshiping the Heat are funny to me. Not Heat fans, those guys are fine, that's their team, but non Heat fans with their "oooooooooooh, Lebron + Wade, OMG" That @#$% is funny as hell to me.
It takes a lot more then just talent to win. ALOT more. Luck, hard work, sacrifice, and maybe most importantly, heart. Only guy on the Heat I know that has heart is Wade. Rest of those guys never shown me heart in their entire lives. But of course, they have talent, so their's noooooooooooo way they won't dominate the league for the next 5 years.

If it's more of the same, he should just retire after this year.

Seriously. Pathetic. Damn, i didn't want to have to get league pass this year so i was hoping he'd be on a contender. Guess he'll never get out of the first round. A damn shame.Originally Posted by franchise3
@ Detroit being the only team willing to give TMac a shot.

The Heat's bench is worse than Boston's, the Thunder will win a title before the Heat, the Heat don't have heart except for one guy, the Heat's Haslem, Miller and House aren't scaring anyone, the Heat will have chemistry problems early.
Did I miss anything CP? Can we officially grant you the title as "#1 Heat Hater"?
.... honestly man it's getting past ridiculous. You can't convince any of us that a lot of these things aren't stemming from your favorite team, the Los Angeles Lakers, all of a sudden being pushed in rearview mirror that is not temporary, but possibly permanent? This isn't like when people called the Celtics or Cavs pre-season favorites, this is different, and you know that, and consciously or subconsciously it bothers you.
No one's "sippin any Kool-Aid" (stupidest phrase ever by the way). People are looking at three stud players, a good bench, and a proven coach (if he comes down from the front office) and making a proper assessment. It is hilarious to me that you think that it is such an absurd opinion.

The one thing LeBron has shown time after time on the court is his unselfishness. He has routinely passed up shots in the open second word to Donyell Marshall. They have already spent time playing together on the Olympics squads, an invaluable experience. And at the end of they day, they have the league's two best player's. I don't want the heat to win, but you're just grasping at straws.

I didn't say they'd have chemistry issues early, but the rest of that I did say. I would believe they COULD have chemistry issues at some point, early, middle, late, never, that I don't know, I just wouldn't be surprised. But I never said early as a fact or anything.
Do I have too?
And I honestly could care less about rearview mirrors or being pushed anywhere. Give me a break. I'm a little more then sure that the Lakers history of being on top, getting knocked down, coming back on top, getting knocked down, back on top, back down, etc etc etc etc will go on and on long after we're all gone. If we get knocked down, congrats to who did it, we'll come back another time. Been that way for 60+ years. So please, relax with why I give the Heat sudden followers crap. The fact that you guys jump up and down about me speakin out on the Heat, but FOR the GOD DAMN BOSTON CELTICS is rather stupid, don't you think? I mean, really guys? REALLY? As was said all last year, when all of you people were laughing in my face when i said Cleveland wasn't even a contender (who's laughing now? ) and I said all year, watch out for Boston, I still see Boston, they look good, here they come, but yeah, it all stems from hate.
I honestly don't get why it's so far fetched to believe what it is I have witnessed. Allen loves bringing up the 08 Celts, a team that went to game 7's in both the first AND second rounds. They could have EASILY gone down. But the pros that Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and KG were, they came together, and got it done. With the help of some vets like Posey, Brown, and Cassell. BUT THEY DAMN NEAR WENT DOWN TO THE HAWKS PEOPLE. So you guys get all shocked when I say, well, it won't just be all easy, and plums and sugar for the Heat? You guys question me for saying something like that?

the heat will dominate. i'm disgusted by it but c'mon now stop lying CP. championships are another story. depends how the referees treat them and i don't trust lebron or bosh mentally.
i dont know why ppl think Big Z is going to be an asset. he's done. But the regular season and most of the playoffs the heat will be destroying teams. The media will drill it in your head that this is the best team ever assembled. The lakers will get no love. CP will be pissed all year

CP, i have NO problem if you don't believe the Heat will win it all or whatever. Hell, i don't even believe it yet until i see them actually play a few games BUT when you typed out the "oooooh wow...Lebron and Wade together, OMG" as if that ISN'T a big deal, sounds like straight up hate.
You are forgetful aren't you? You think I care AT ALL about the regular season? AT ALL?
Come on man.
Trust, I was mocking some of the people on here that lost their minds once they united. Like all of a sudden the NBA was locked up for the next 2 decades or something. That's why I put that comment in there. Not hate.

Yeah i feel you. I won't believe it until they actually win a ring but on paper it does look pretty impressive.Originally Posted by CP1708

Come on, how many times we talk about this last year, teams can win whatever games they want, I care less then zero. Come May, then I get thirsty. Even first, sometimes second round games don't mean anything to me. So the media can hype teams Oct thru May, I won't care one bit. I don't stress over HC all year, because two years in a row we didn't have it, and still ended up with it in June. I'm not sayin I wanna win 43 games in the reg season or anything, but gimme 50+ and I'll be just fine.

Naw, I don't worry about it at all. Champs are forgotten one year to the next. It's always about the "next" team.
Legacy is what matters. When time passes, and dust settles, and people think back. I watched the Robert Horry game 4 game last night, they were all excited about the Kings in the first quarter, they were jumpin up and down, dancin, havin a great time, Webber and his scowls, havin a good ol time, then the game got tight, and serious, and suddenly they looked like 10 year old ushers in a Catholic church, you could SEE it. At the time, the Kings were all the rage, the media loved them, hyped them, they were fun and loose and fast and all that, but when it mattered, the true them showed thru.
Whereas, look at how Shaq, Kobe, Horry, Fish, Fox, even B Shaw are looked at after those 3 years. Clutch guys, glue guys, even lucky to an extent, but never panic, never folded, just went and played hard. I care more about that, then I do pub or ESPN riding our @#$%^ or any of that. Hold the trophy at the end of the year, and let people say what they want, hell, just look at Laker fans having to defend Kobe after game 7 this year. None of that will matter when it's all said and done. People love to get caught up in the moment, they don't look big picture. I'm a big picture guy.

Kings fans never gonna let that go
QFT on your post ,though.
Sure.
Have they repaired that backboard yet from all those rockets they were throwin up in clutch time? Mortars couldn't have done that much damage. Webber woulda had about 50 assists if they actually made shots with as many times as he passed it back out.
Oh damn, schedule is out today ain't it? Forgot about all that.

all i know for certain is that i give doc rivers more of a chance at making it work than mike brown
i really dont know what's going to happen with shaq though. its a good look at the least until perkins is 100%. if boston faces miami i think shaq can help. we all know how he feels about Bosh.

lol CP the celtics were never close to gettin beaten by the hawks in the first round
that was the most lopsided seven game series ever
all the 4 games boston won were blowouts
and all the 3 games atlanta won were close as hell
so yea boston was never close to losing

Atlanta vs Miami in 09 was the most lopsided seven game series ever, but that's another story.
