    Remember when it was said LeBron has never played for a good HC?

    Most of the guys he's played for have proven their worth without him... Spo - Widely considered a top 10/15 coach of all-time after two finals appearances after LeBron. Lue - Not many in the game today are better at managing egos, as shown by the jobs he's done w/ the Clippers. Mike Brown -...

    James Harden was smart for wanting out of Philly

    The people that gave him hell for it don’t know basketball. He’s a legend that’s earned his respect…

    I was just a hater

    When I said my things about "Doucheman" a couple years back... I was a hater when I called for a one-game suspension mid-playoffs when he flipped off an entire stadium of fans in Memphis. Good to know I'm no longer alone. This dude needs serious help. Merry Christmas.

    “If you’re not the champs, you suck”

    That’s the approach Dame had alluded to last spring when he said “we can’t keep pretending that nothing else matters”. Call Lillard a hypocrite for ring chasing (this offseason) if you’d like, but this is this exact mindset that has taken a toll on the NBA for quite some time… And this post is...

    Sorry to post this, but the Heat badly whiffed on Dame - In large part due to sheer arrogance

    He did everything but knock on their door personally. But Miami failed to work in good faith w/ Portland prior to free agency, and it ultimately cost them Dame…

    MLB Hall of Very Good Players (but not HOF)

    I’m sure something like this has been done before, but a few guys that come to mind… Corey Koskie - Concussions derailed his career by his early 30’s, but a steady major league player both with the bat and in the field. Built the foundation for a solid 2000’s decade for the Twins even during a...

    Bam or Siakam?

    In anticipation of top 50 player rankings, who would you have higher right now? Currently I have Bam eight spots ahead of Siakam... Questioning it that is too many. Considering this is a Heat lovers paradise, figure why not...

    Austin Reaves is Todd from Wedding Crashers

    Noticing Reaves’ nerdy facial expressions during the Nuggets series led to drawing comparisons, so I googled “Austin Reaves Todd”. Came up with this…

    Both Shaq and Dr. J have Karl Malone in their top 10 all-time… Are they really that off base?

    Is Malone actually underrated on the all-time rankings? His averages of 25 and 10 across 19 seasons is tough to beat…

    Tyrese Haliburton will be better than Damian Lillard by the end of the 2023-24 season

    Bump this thread up next April. My top 50 player rankings will be out in September and hopefully Lillard will be traded by then... Never really viewed Dame is this regard, but whether he realizes it or not, he unfortunately made this NBA summer all about him. Not because he demanded a trade...

    Which remaining FA intrigues you most?

    All things Damian Lillard official thread

    This might take awhile, folks. Looks like I nailed it on the screws last week when I said a third team would be needed to take on Herro... It really is unfortunate that Portland let this questionable relationship drag on this long. The reality is that extension they signed Dame to last year...

    Nuggets Fandom Explained

    Since the start of COVID, I had lost both my dad and my maternal grandfather. My grandpa died at the very nursing home facility that I have worked for nearly the last nine years back in December of 2020. And, of course, my dad passed on Super Bowl Sunday this year. As soon as we got by Phoenix...

    Davis Bertans clause

    I thought I read somewhere yesterday (don't remember where) that only $5 million of the $16 million of Bertans' 2024-25 salary would be guaranteed if he was to play in 75 percent of his team's games the season before that. Provided we have the standard 82 games next year, he would need to play...

    Mat Ishbia is ruining the Suns

    An in opposite form the way Robert Sarver did... That is all. I'd explain more as to how but I've got a few minutes left on my break. Let's just call it a prime example of why superteams are coming to an end...

    CitySushi would you make this trade???

    SF Aaron Nesmith (23) C Isaiah Jackson (21) Pick 26 Pick 29 FOR Jonathan Kuminga No headlining piece, but you get potentially get four solid young players for one. And if you’re not sold on Kuminga being your guy for the future, this would help replenish your team’s depth in the event you...

    Just a reminder the Denver Nuggets are the defending champs

    Turns out we forgot to make one of these for Golden State last year... How will that franchise ever survive from all that lost publicity? :scratch: The new official apparel for Heat fans... (Ten years ago they wasn't ever afraid to rub their titles in everyone's faces.) :clap:

    The real reason I'm a Nuggets fan

    Because the Pacers suck, and I needed someone to root for. The Nuggets happened to be #1 in the opposite conference this season, so I chose them. :yes: No j/k... If the Nuggets win on Monday I'll provide an in-depth write-up explaining my fandom on my day off on...

    Series Thread: 2023 Western Conference Finals: 1) Nuggets vs 7) Lakers (Bubble Rematch)

    “We’re gonna win it this time.” - Tim Duncan Nuggets in six. Hoping our SG KCP is motivated to face his former team. Go Nuggs… Built not bought.

    Who would you chase in free agency?

    To me, this one is a no-brainer. Unless he takes a below-market deal to return to the Lakers, Kuzma is an empty stat-padder that's about to destroy some team's payroll. I will say that if the Pacers sign him, I will officially be on the Fire Pritchard bandwagon...

    If Paul George is a Hall of Famer, who retires his jersey???

    He’ll probably end up getting in, but I think he’s the most overrated HOF prospect among current NBA players. Case and point - As much as I hate Jimmy Butler, he’s a much better HOF prospect than George and it shouldn’t be all that close. Let’s get one thing out of the way: The Pacers aren’t...

    HurricaneDij's Rebuild Rankings

    1) OKC - They'll run the league soon as Sam Presti is best in the business at stockpiling picks and making the most of them. SGA is a superstar. 2) Pacers - Tyrese Haliburton is as good as it gets for his age at making guys around him better. Would like a more modernized FO, though. Add...
