I think Passive agressive LeBron might've just dropped the passive part.

Best part about this is Barkley is probably going to slam LeBron on Thursday. He never backs down

Sooooo...

LeClown and Sir Charles are having a tiff? interesting...

only thing i'll say on the matter is Charlie ain't playing anymore. LeClown had better worry about what's happening ON the court...

It's the Kardashian curse, brethern. TT dumps the Khloester then the Cavs will win. If not, there's your black cat.

dude im seriously afraid it is at this point.

 

[WiggyRuss]

wow...LeBron just goes nuclear on Barkley. unbelievable. he finally had enough. lol.

why wouldnt he?

like lebron said- he needs the ratings- its what his job is

i loved the fact that lebron said he knows barkley wanted to retire years ago but couldnt - hes "stuck in that chair"...lol.....

and dont get me wrong- ithink barkley has some very valid points at times.....this should be very entertaining. lol.

Need ratings? TNT show is just fine. They don't need anything. They already established that they're a great studio show for the last 20+ years

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Both Waiters and James Johnson said they chose the Heat because of culture, pedigree, leadership from the top down, etc..

Each time they are now interviewed, they confirmed everything they had heard about the Heat is accurate.

It's really fun to watch them both play right now.

Question is can/will the Heat be able to keep them this summer?

My guess is they keep 1. If I had to guess which one, I would lean towards Johnson because the Heat is pretty deep at the guard position so unless Waiters keep this up for the rest of the regular season, hard to see them giving him big money when we have Richardson, Tyler, & Ellington all coming back. They also may draft a guard in the draft. James Johnson is a SF/PF and we're pretty weak there.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

My guess is it's due to what Barkley said last Thursday. Kinda happy he said this though

Thing is, Barkley is paid to offer opinions.
While I often don't agree with him, James is doing nothing but deflecting IN THIS INSTANCE because nothing Barkley said is incorrect IMO.

If we're talking about what Barkley said last Thursday about LBJ bitching then I agree but if you're talking about LBJ having no chance of being top 5 then I disagree

Agree, we prob could keep most of what we have, but that will eat up all of whatever cap space we get from Bosh.

UD will be gone. Too bad we're stuck with McBob for another year.

No.
James prob already is top 5.
Its impossible to compare generations, and Jordan is clear 1, but after that, put James anywhere you want and he's in the conversation.

lol...waiters signed towards the end of free agency becauses if he didnt he was gonna be playing in China it looked like....you act like Dion Waiters had options.

And Dion DOES look very good at times- especially when running an offense with the ball in his hands--- but the bad thing about that is- you arent winning shit long term if Dion Waiters is dominating the ball on your team. Its kind of the same with Dragic---- solid player- but needs the ball in his hands, and you arent winning on a high level if Goran Dragic has the ball in his hands a lot.

Waiters should get a nice little raise - but no one is gonna break the bank for him or go long term with him.

The two best teams in the league right now look destined for their 3rd Finals matchup.

Spoiler

Mavs vs Heat, round 3
