fU Lebron, none of your fn business.

Disrespectful

If I were you I would choose to take it as a compliment.

The Heat really don't have one all star worthy player, but they are a good team anyway. The sum of the parts is greater than the whole.

I would prefer that to having a 2 all star team struggling to make it all work.

True as well. Hoping Spo at least get COY if we win close to 50 games and get HCA in round 1

Well another spot just opened. K-Love out 2 months.

Wouldn't go that far. He will be back before the playoffs which is the important thing

When he's rusty and about to take up somebody's playing time. Sure that'll work well in the locker room.

I'm sure Jae Crowder will throw a fit when K-Love returns and get his starting job back

 

[bksballer89]

Also yes, he may be rusty which is expected which is why unless he has a setback, He will have about 6-13 games to get back into form for the playoffs assuming he comes back in the 6-8 week window

Why do you insist on defending them? They're fucked.

Because I'm a realist. The injury sucks for them in terms of building chemistry with IT, Love, and Lebron but I'm not going to say they're fucked when Love is scheduled to be back at least 2 weeks before the playoffs begin. The playoffs are not played in February and March. They're played from mid April-mid June so yeah I'm not going to say they're fucked because of this

Actually adversity like this might force them to start playing hard. They are just coasting in a game like tonight ... expecting to wait and turn it on when it comes closer to playoff time.

For example, when they lost Kyrie & Love in playoffs/finals -- they played their ass off.

So potentially dropping in rankings, facing tougher teams earlier in the playoffs, with team chemistry that's already at its lowest and you still think they'll represent the east in the finals.

And lost...

Yep exactly. Will be pretty shocked if they don't still get the 3rd seed

In other news, OKC still struggle on the road to beat good basketball teams....not even sure if I would call Washington good without Wall but going by the record they are.

After 8 in a row it was due to happen. This Roberson loss is pretty huge, they will figure it out somewhat but they were playing very well. It’s going to be tough now even if they get help with a trade. Teams just don’t part with lockdown defenders.

[Black Adam]

damn, what's with all these injuries...?

is it something in the water or what...?

 

[Bolts]

Z-Bo/Kosta both with double doubles(17 rebs for KK) and George Hill with 14 points, who wants em?!?
