Chalmers now at five points in NBA's flagrant-foul system. His next flagrant, of any variety, will mandate a one-game suspension.

Andrew Bynum suspended indefinetly by the Cavs and is on the trade-block and might even just be let go - any interest here?

 

[Paolo305613]

Joel Anthony would probably the most likely casuality if any move is made by the Heat - but the casuality should of course be the useless scrub, Shane Battier.

Kick LeWrongs' butt, Portland!

Some twwets from Ira Winderman on Bynum:So with Bynum suspended, might Oden just wind up playing more games this season after all? It was an intriguing preseason proposition.
So with Bynum suspended, might Oden just wind up playing more games this season after all? It was an intriguing preseason proposition.And Cleveland would look enticing to LeBron now because . . . ?So many teams need a center, and so many teams still don't want Bynum. What does that tell you?

So, LBJ is now 29th in scoring with 21,819 career points - Kareem-Abdul-Jabbar is the current all time leader at 38,387 - My question to you, will Lebron ever reach and/or surpass the record, if so - assuming he stays healthy, when do you think he does it?

Of note: For his career as a Heat, including the 29 games this year - He has totaled 6,568 putting him 5th on the all-time Heat list - Wade is the leader at 16,874 - The next guy on the list for LBJ to surpass is Rony Seikaly who is at 6,742

 

[Paolo305613]

Worth mentioning: the scrub, aka Shane Battier not in the top 10 in ANY significant category with the Heat.

Zero.
He's a piece of shit as a person. Nothing we need in our locker room.
On top of that, he can't move.
He wouldn't have any more of a needed role on this team then ( hopefully) Oden will.

For any Heat fans who may have missed it, there is a great article in last weeks(?) Sports Illustrated (the Peyton Manning SOY issue) that breaks down the last 30 seconds of last seasons finals game 6.


It was a great read.

Strong start for the Heat on offense, and Michael Beasley in particular. Good ball movement so far - Might we call it the No-Lebron- Effect… Lets just hope Wade doesnt take his place and plays hero ball for him

 

[Paolo305613]

The diva loses this game for us playing hero ball , taking bad shots and committing bad fouls - he was a combination of himself , lebron and the scrub tonight ... That's how you lose a game

 

[avalon2423]

Paolo, all u do is talk shit. Yea Wade sucked tonight, but he had a huge dunk at the end to tie it and Bosh ftw..

 

[Paolo305613]

If you consider speaking the truth , "talking shit " so be it . Wade was garbage and almost cost us the game outside of that dunk ... Shane was useless garbage as usual . Beasley had a nice game and Bodh saved the day with a great performance . Nice contributions by UD , Cole, Chalmers n Allen and Rashard

 

[bksballer89]

What a win tonight

 

[bksballer89]

Av just put the tool that on the ignore list...It will help big time
