2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

[gordontrue]

What can you say Pathetic response. Now u are reaching. He still missed a free throw. LOL Clutch would of made them both. I can go 1-2 in the nba from the free throw line. His Free throw didnt mean anything and the whole world knows it. If anything it made him look worse for missing one. LOL

Going up by 4 with 10 seconds to go in a game 7 against the 2016 Warriors means nothing.

Wow.

So you think the Cavs were really smart to give him the contract last year -- right ? (really he was underpaid?)

He's underpaid in relation to today's contracts. He was overpaid at the time. TV money has distorted the entire league.

 

[gordontrue]

Ray Allen hit the game-saving shot that allowed the later game winner. Ray saved the Heat with that shot.

Yes.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Of course it's insulting.
You think Riley is really that stupid?
Bottom line with Wade is and always was, he's going to have to wait until after the Durant meeting tomorrow.
Then, it will work itself out.

If anyone thinks Wade is leaving, name the bet...

hahahahaha

 

[WiggyRuss]

Quit making shit up.
I said Heat never offered Wade 10/1 or 20/2 and they didn't.
Isn't the story NOW that Riley NEVER communicated with Wade since July 1?
So who made the offer?

With the embarrasing stuff coming out of @purguy12's mouth today....

it makes me feel very good about myself that he's facepalmed about 15 of my posts today.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Didnt accuse you of it.
In general though, people posting the 10M and " might" meet with other teams are 'sharing' news that he was insulted, is open to leaving, etc..

My offered bet was made to anyone who thinks its a reality.

Last view I saw of Wade, was yesterday out in the middle of nowhere with Paul and James.
FA seemed like the last thing on his mind.

If you really are serious about A. Leaving and B. Wanting big dollars, you don't C. Go on vacation when teams are aggressively pursuing players and spending that money.

yup.... #commonsense

Obviously I thought he'd stay.
I still 'shocked' , but I don't care.
He was offered a fair deal IMO.
Never said anything different.
I said he was never offered 10M.

I also don't know of a Finals ending where there was 1 FG in the last 4:30 in the 4th Q. Irving's game winner was more of a bailout.

It's a team game no doubt. But as an attitude overall, Lebron (like trojan said) is a bit calmer of a competitor and IMO passes the ball where MJ and even Kobe would take over.

You can try to spin anyway you want, but there is no point. A game winning shot is a game winning shot. btw Lebron never passed the ball. Irving dribbled it, took the shot and made it. The Ray Allen shot, Bosh passed it to him and he made the shot. MJ passed the ball to Paxson and passed the ball to Kerr. Why didn't MJ take the shot? He made the best basketball play, it was the right decision. Lebron is just as much of a competitor as MJ or Kobe, he doesn't have the same killer instinct but he has shown he is still very very clutch, he likes to make the best basketball play and is very unselfish, no doubt about it.

 

[purguy12]

Yes Ray Ray saved the day in game 6 so there could be a game 7.

What Hurts the that team is Spurs came back and just smaked the heat around. Kind of showed that it was a fluke. Also their was no game winner in game 7. I dont know where these fans are getting their info. Cavs won 95-88. LBJ made a nice shot with 2 sec but was already winning. The game was never even tied late in the game.

Homers are reaching now. Last point Spurs made was at the 2 min mark. LOL

hell, I didn't think he would go either...

who knew he'd quibble over money(and as a matter of fact relatively SMALL amount of money) like that...?

obviously you were wrong on this in a huge huge way....this was just from a few days ago and you shrugged it off and were willing to have people name their bet...

its cool- everyone is wrong once in a while...it just so happens you are on quite the streak.

obviously he was much more serious about leaving than you suspected. lol.

U made my day today Gordon with the crap and reaching you been doing today. made me laugh on a couple. Just want to say thanks.

Wow.

He missed a Free throw. What dont you get. 1 for 2 isnt good when its clutch time. U do know that.

In that moment all he needed was one to put the game away.

You do know what happened to his right wrist seconds before attempting those 2 FT, right?

I'm starting to doubt whether you even watched the game.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

yup.... #commonsense

He took basically the same money as the Heat offered.
I have nothing against Wade, but he's a diva who wanted his ego stroked.
He spent a week with James, another diva , who I'm sure was in his ear.

He's injury prone and 35.
Bad combo to invest in when you are looking at a bad season anyway.

Best for both sides to move on IMO.

Here we go...

1st off I really wish you could read a post for what it is. Irving did hit the game winner.. I just can't recall a ANY Finals where that was the only FG in the final 4:30 of a series.

2nd, overall LBJ vs MJ - I see Lebron passing the ball alot more than Jordan did under 2 minutes to go in the 4th Q. So yes, LBJ may be just as much a competitor, but he's not the assassin that MJ or even Kobe was.

3rd, Jordan was NEVER facing elimination in a Finals. It's true Ray Allen hit the game winner in game 6 that led to game 7. Sure Paxson hit 1 and Kerr hit 1 too? Go back and watch the '96 Finals, '91 Finals, etc. Watch what Jordan does in the last 2-3 minutes of games.


No spin intended. Both are great players.

I don't think it was a fluke, I just think the Heat collapsed for many reasons when going for that 3-peat. The Spurs beat them silly no doubt. But the Spurs were good.
