Predictions for 2017-2018 NBA Season

[Black Adam]

Thanks for the same tired rant, dodge and deflection.
You proved every point I made was 100% correct.

Translation : too much of a pussy to back his ignorant words up with a bet...

course by now everybody KNOWS the guy's fulla shit...

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

tired rant?

its 100% true.

how can you even deny it

the Heat were good because they had a star.

they have no star- they have no way to get one. Youve been reduced to arguing over whether the Heat will be either kinda shitty or slightly above average. lol

ill bet you the Cavs have a better record than the Heat!!! LOL deal?

i wonder when Dwade will get bought out and be in a Cavs uniform?--- would u guess before or after the start of the new year?

Deny what?
Based on your logic, Philly will have to be bad for the better part of 20 years before they might be good enough to go how far?
The Heat has been an overall top 5? NBA team during that time frame?
You have NO CLUE what can happen from one season to another.
Cavs are picked to win the EC this year. If James bolts, they are back in the lottery.
As always, time has proven, Miami will always be fine.
Short term there is no logical reason to assume the Warriors aren't running the league for the next few seasons.

As far as the Heat/Cavs...., thanks for showing what a cu nt you are once again.
You are posting how great Philly is and how shitty Miami is.
Where did I ever say the Cavs won't make this years Finals (so far)?

As far as Wade. It's funny Cavs need him MORE then Miami does.
Hell. We don't even want him.
You know he recently enrolled his sons/nephew in the Miami school system.
Did he do the same in Cleveland??

"time has proven Miami will be fine"

LOL---- they were "fine" because they had a star

now they have no star. they have no way to get one. they have no cap space. they have the worst collection of draft assets in the league

you are trying to ignore all of these facts and just chalk it up to "we will be fine"---- the reason you were "fine" before is because you had Dwade--- the reason the Sixrs sucked is because they didnt have Dwade or anyone like him.

Now they have 3 guys that could be high level all stars- and the heat have zero- and have no way of acquiring one. This isnt rocket science.

Fuck you and your "star".
Fuck you and what the Heat can or can't do.
Wasn't Whiteside supposed to get lazy and have a meltdown?( You guaranteed 1000x).
You've proven time and time again that you are just a blabbering idiot.

One overpaid max player isn't winning anyone, anything.
Give me a full roster of talent, who plays hard and together.
We saw last year it can and will work.
I said Warriors are locked and loaded for a while.
Nobody in their right mind is picking against them.
The Heat will be fine.

Back to your nonsense, how did the Pelicans and their 2 stars do?
How about the T Wolves?
Phoenix has a star. How are they doing?
Paces had George. BARELY made the playoffs before getting swept. How are they doing?
The list over the years can go on and on...

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Celtics 56-26
Cavs 51-31
Raptors 50-32
Heat 47-35
Wiz 47-35
Bucks 45-37
Charlotte 43-39
Pistons 41-41

Warriors 63-19
Rockets 54-28
Spurs 54-28
OKC 51-31
Wolves 45-37
Clits 43-39
Nuggets - Mike Miller 42-40
Portland 41-41


Warriors win it all.
The rest leading up to it is prob not worth watching for the most part.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Interesting current Vegas prop.


James plays 1st game next season:

+250 Cavs
+275 Lakers
+700 Celtics
+1000 Spurs

cmon....

you know and i know this current iteration of the Heat isnt winning anything

you know and i know that the Heat have 3 titles because of star power: Dwade, Shaq, LeBron, Bosh.

the Heat "will be fine" when they take action to actually TRY and win. Instead- this is a team that will max out as a first round exit with no avenues to improve.

I have to say--- in regards to the CAvs- you had a point last year in that- its awful hard to improve when you have a paucity of draft assets and have no cap room. But at least the CAvs are GOOD and can draw guys like Rose and Green on min. deals. The Heat are not only NOT contenders- but they have NO WAY of improving. No cap room. No trade assets.

you know it and i know it.

like i said--- if you are happy debating whether the HEat will be somewhere between kinda crappy and slightly above average--- YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND ROOTING FOR THE RIGHT TEAM.

The Heat wont suck for the next 2-3 years- they wont be good for the next 2-3 years. They will be the worst place in the NBA- capped out, with hardly any draft assets- a team that no real star wants to go to- right in the middle-- a snow balls chance in hell of acquiring the next Dwade.

and whether you admit it or not- the only reason the Heat won ANTHING is because of guys like Wade, Shaq, LeBron, Bosh---- the type of talent they have ZERO way of acquiring anytime soon.


so enjoy your mediocrity. lol

Personally, I would like to see Kyrie go to a team in the EC. I want to watch the match up between him & LBJ in reg season games. Too bad he'd be a redundant piece in Washington.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Interesting current Vegas prop.


James plays 1st game next season:

+250 Cavs
+275 Lakers
+700 Celtics
+1000 Spurs

all comes down to if/when/for what Kyrie is traded for.

Until then its impossible to speculate.

Not only that- but if George stays in OKC and takes the money- i mean- shut it down right now.....lol....ill book my seats to the next 3 Finals....as is I just have my seats to THIS years Finals reserved. Remember when the Heat used to go to the Finals and they were loaded with all stars? lol --- now- you get to look forward to being a first round dog and a likely early exit.....

should give you plenty of time to enjoy spring in Miami though! lol.

its funny though...if i had to guess the odds this is pretty close to what i would have guessed...

Cavs and Lakers as the only two really realistic possibilities....id prob have the Cavs at +225 and the Lakers at +300 though.

I know the Heat isn't winning any titles in the near future.
Guess what?

Spoiler

Neither are the Cavs

lol the HEat arent even winning a playoff series.

the mythical draw of Miami brought the allmighty Kelly Olnyk though!!!!

I wonder who comes next year....

the deluge of talent is just mind numbing...Dion Waiters one year, Kelly Olnyk the next......maybe if you are lucky PJ Tucker will take his talents to south beach next

Big difference between me and you.
I'm a fan of the Heat but also a fan of the game.
I watch every team.
The Heat will be fun to watch.
The Heat will always be fine.
If/when James leaves next year, the year after, or whenever... you'll be searching to leach on to some other players balls, talk a lot of shit, they run and hide like a cu nt when things don't go your way.

lol.....look how mad you are--- my post 100% accurately described what happened to the HEat this summer- and you get personal just because your wittle brain is on fire because you cant stand the truth. Oh it cracks me up.

im sorry- instead of PJ Tucker---- maybe Jamal Crawford? lol.


what shoudl the Heats new motto be...lol....


lets think


The Miami Heat--- we wont suck- but we wont win anything either.

The Miami Heat- you cant spell Miami without Mediocre.

The Miami Heat- Dion Waiters is our alpha!

The Miami Heat- Whiteside hasnt cheap shotted anyone for over 18 months!

The Miami Heat- short cutting the process since our President is in his 70's.

The Miami Heat- We ran off LeBron becuase we were to cheap to put a team around him!



the best though

The Miami Heat: At least the weather is nice. LOL.

lol.

Mad about what?
I said going into the summer that I wanted Hayward IF the price was right.
If not, I said I'd much rather have a talented team, top to bottom that plays hard, and as a team all 48 minutes.
You can diminish the roster all you want.
There is way more talent there then you are giving credit for (no surprise).
You don't go 30-11 by accident in the NBA.
You also don't go 11-30 by accident.
Big difference between being healthy vs not, as well as learning to play together.
Then figure in the season long transformation of Dion and JJ.

 

[WiggyRuss]

ohhh...man

The Miami Heat: No one shows up till halftime

lol....



Good call on Heat to lay T-Shirts on the seats this time. Harder to tell how empty it is in here.

One would think you'd be way more worried about what happened to the Cavs this summer.
We all have a pretty good idea of what will happen next summer.

Question is, does he want a sign and trade or does he totally want to fuck Gilbert?
Easy answer to me.

what happened to the Cavs this summer?

The Cavs signed Jeff Green, Derek Rose and Cedi Osman and are favorites to go back to the Finals. lol...


If/when Irving is traded- if he is even traded---- we will have plenty of analysis t o do--- but there is a distinct possiblity that while trading Irving hurts the CAvs LONG TERM- it very well may improve their chances of LeBron staying and winning int he short term.


I mean- Boston struck out from adding George or Butler- the Wizards didnt add shit- Toronto brings their same team back. LOL...I mean- sounds pretty fucking good to me.

 

[WiggyRuss]

ill tell ya--- IDEALLY- the Cavs trade Irving for 2-3 pretty good players that compliment LeBron- he resigns for 2 more years- plays a total of 13 years in Cleveland- keeps kicking ass----assures he goes into the Hall with a Cavs hat--- and then when he leaves and or retires--- they go in the tank and start the 2-3 year rebuild. Sounds pretty good to me.

I mean- IDEALLY i think thats what happens---- part of me hopes LeBron takes a 2 year deal after this year instead of a 5 year monstrosity....shit at 36 let him go out and retire in LA and let the Cavs start to build it back up.
