2015-16 NBA Eastern Conference OFFICIAL THREAD

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I don't think anyone would ever question Whiteside work ethic. You don't get back in the league and dominate as he's doing after being a shit player early in his career without having great work ethic. It is actually impossible.

BTW any new articles from Tom Haberstroh on Whiteside? How about that Miami newspaper? Amazing how you can't find any negative articles about Hassan and those tools stopped writing those articles about Whiteside about how he's so horrible for the heat, they're such a better team when he's on the bench, and etc.

Tom Haberstroh is a piece of shit as I told you months ago.

Nobody can ever say Whiteside doesn't put in the work.
He was in the gym and Heat training facility all summer.
I have heard Spoelstra say that they have never invested more time in developing a player as they have in Whiteside.

this is the guy you think is a franchise player? NEVER...

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

If Miami somehow pulls off the upset, we're never going to let you live that one down. Warning you now.

If the Heat happened to beat the Cavs in a series, it would be the end of the Cavs franchise.
James would never play another game there, except as an opponent.

 

[WiggyRuss]

They're not and I'm fine with that. Most importantly for Heat fans is that the 3 point shooting has been significantly better since Richardson started playing and signing Joe Johnson

I did not see that bet. I do work and barely look at this thread unless I'm posting in here. I would gladly take it. All they have to do is shoot is 1% better than they did last year. Better shooting team this year and are a lock to shoot more than 33%. Last year they shot .339% from 3 and finished 24th. The Rockets shot .348% from 3 and finished 14th. Easy bet

and if your aunt had balls shed be your uncle. Each seems as likely. Whats gonna happen is a beatdown- and then the Heat wont even be able to bring back this team- let alone add to it.

Not sure if anyone watching TNT but this Wolves/Warriors game is good.

Warriors up 1 with 258 to go in the 4th

I know the bet I made. I don't run from bets. As I stated before most importantly for me as a Heat fan is that the 3 pt shooting is not really an issue anymore thanks to Joe and Josh.

this is NOT a guy you can build your team around- not a winner anyway. It just doesnt work that way in the NBA.....You can sign Whiteside to be your 3rd best guy-- but if you need him to lead- your screwed- or set an example....the only way you can get winnign basketball out of this guy is with the right vets- in the right role. You simply cant build around a thug like that. Its why Id take Al horford any day of the week 1000 times out of 1000.


the most despicable and thuggish one by FAR is the Olynk one though...I seriously hate that kind of shit. Thugs like that dont belong in the game.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

yes- absolutely I do- I think itll be really fun to watch for sure. I know ill enjoy it a lot more than you will.

It would mean we at least won a round, or 2.
That would meet or exceed any expectation I had for this season.
The rest is gravy.
I promise if we meet the Cavs and lose, I won't be 100th as upset as Janes will be once the Cavs are eliminated.

im glad you have such a healthy attitude that series win followed by a Cavs beatdown will be "gravy"...

my how the mighty have fallen- and fallen hard.

Would you shut the fuck up already?

Yes or no question,
Do you think your smarter then Pat Riley?

We have fallen hard how? Fallen hard is going from championship contenders to laughing stock of the NBA for the next 4 years

Not that you'd understand, but you have to be on top to fall.
No teams stays on top, but good franchises regroup.
The Heat will always fall into that category.
Cavs minus James will always suck.
Enjoy your post season run, but we all know how it will end.
But hey, there's always next year.

Watching Wiggy brag about losing in the finals will be good

Why won't you take my bet?
Month of November off SportsHoopla.
James/Love/Kyrie are done as a group if they don't win it all this season.

Warriors IMO would be better served to just rest players and let 72+ wins just play itself out.
I hated when the Heat was on that 28 game winning streak.
It's not important.

Has Phil lost his damn mind? Kurt Rambis is one of the worst head coaches the NBA has ever seen

By the way, if we sign Whiteside, how does he suddenly become our main guy?
He'd be the same guy he is.

Yeah he's going to get torn apart here in NYC if he does that. They were talking about it a few weeks ago
