2021-2022 NBA Season

[Wamu]

For the last damn time. I never thought your stats were from Cleveland only. Never.

You clearly said 1 was from LA.

I wasn’t talking about that year.

Until you can move on from that, we have nothing further to discuss here.

And that is the problem. You are talking about oranges and I am talking about apples. I don’t really care if you are talking about offense only, because that wasn’t what @bksballer89 was talking about and you were arguing with him.

I came in agreeing with him.

I stand by what I said. While LeBron was in his prime in Miami there's no question that offensively he's had seasons equal to what he did with the Heat. That's all I've been saying. But you seem disagree.

You have an issue with what I said three days ago and you wanna keep this going. Nothing you say will change my mind on this topic. And his career numbers back up what I've been saying.

I don’t disagree with that at all. Never have.

You were arguing BK’s point that LeBron was at his best in Miami. He has definitely had seasons as good or better offensively. Definitely.

But you tried to use offensive only stats to refute a comment made about LeBron’s overall play.

And, you even called @bksballer89 a homer.

And now you are trying to say I didn’t understand your comment because I only chose to address part of it.

Pretty amazing leaps of logic by you.

 

[bksballer89]

Yep called me a homer for suggesting that the Heat got the best version of Bron lol

 

[bksballer89]

This is what he said @tlance in response to me saying that the Heat got the best version of Lebron. Guy is such a tool.

Whatever you say you jackass homer. You really have turned into wiggy 2.0. Not nearly as bad as him. But you suffer from homeritis just like him.

He just kept doubling down on stupid comments. This came after the fact that he thought I was comparing Jimmy to Lebron because I said it looks like the Heat got the best version of Lebron and now getting the best version of Jimmy.

I rather argue/debate with Wiggy over him. At least Wiggy is very knowledgeable on certain topics

 

[HurricaneDij39]

What does that even mean?

Do you think he is going to ask for less than a max?

Who does that?

His contract reflects his value.

Guys like Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler in particular think they're God's gift to the universe, so bear with me if someone living in the real world like myself is skeptical when one of them receives a gargantuan extension at a random time...

And FYI, I'm done hating on P.J. Tucker. I've beaten that dead horse enough over the summer. We'll just see how Miami's seven-man rotation holds up for 82 games. Tucker didn't have much lift on his shot in the playoffs with Milwaukee though, and it looked like one of those signings that was universally praised simply because Riley made it.

Random time? He was eligible for the extension and this was expected. There was nothing random about the timing. It was spoken about last season by those who cover the Heat. This didn't just pop up out of the blue. You like to come on here like you are some NBA expert when you know very little.

And here you go again. Continue to talk about PJ Tucker like he is duncan robinson or something. Miami did not bring him in to be a 3 pt specialist. He was brought in for mostly defensive reasons. Whatever he does on offense is just the icing on the cake. People knew it was a good signing because those who know basketball (so not talking about you) know what PJ bring to the table and knew he would fit the Heat culture

 

[HurricaneDij39]

Will Barton is playing great this year but this in all likelihood is his last stand in Denver after all the money given to MPJ and Gordon...

 

[trojanfan12]

I've beaten that dead horse enough over the summer.

lol

Virtually every post you make is beating one dead horse or another. You've got about 6 dead horses that you beat regularly.

And somehow, you always manage to be wrong when you do.

So a player is eligible for an extension, the player knows about it, the players agent knows about it, the team knows about it, the NBA knows about it, the press writes about it. Everyone knows that the extension is going to happen...

and somehow that's getting an extension at a "random time''?

Please tell us, what color is the sky in this ''real world'' you live in

Every player is trying to get paid when they can. NBA careers aren’t all that long. You get what you can for as long as you can.

Really silly to knock Jimmy Butler for signing an extension that the Heat wanted.

 

[bksballer89]

Lakers allowed 68 points tonight to Detroit in the 1st half

Why, the sky is blue my good sir.

I guess that's Miami's problem to worry about, then.

The Pacers and Heat have one thing in common - Neither team won a playoff game in 2021. I certainly would not want Jimmy Butler on the Pacers for $45 million a year or whatever it is he's making...

If I were in those shoes, I would realize my age and that my salary will have implications on the organization's long-term financial health and flexibility. But, to each their own I guess...

 

[bksballer89]

Lebron James ejected

 

[bksballer89]

Good stuff in Detroit

 

[bksballer89]

Vogel should be fired following the game

 

[JayVee]

Hell no man. He's doing a great job.

Any replays of the elbow?

It was more of an slap. Didn't see any elbow
