[TurnUpTheHeat]

Whiteside talks a lot for a 26 year old who has played about 3 months in the NBA and has never had significant moment. The guy was playing in freaking some podunk polish league not too long ago because dspite being 7 foot and athletic- got himself blackballed from the NBA for being lazy.
MAYBE- just maybe- accomplish at least SOMETHING before calling out Draymond Green - who is pretty much the EXACT opposite of Whiteside- a guy who was undersized, had to work for everything, worked his tail off, was a team leader at MSU etc. etc.

IF I was Draymond Green and some flunky that went to a MAC school who had such a bad attitude he was playing in some sorry leagues across the world until he was 26 and has accomplished exactly nothing in the NBA- i would roast Whiteside too.

Whiteside dared/challenged the Warriors to try to defend him playing small ball.
If they do try, he will DESTROY them.
Actually, he will destroy whoever they attempt to match up with him.

And by next year, Green will be making less then Whiteside, so he could have saved that one.

Amare is an uptempo player. This is a known fact. He's not a player who prefers to play in a half court offense

Wade was running last year as soon as we got dragic who plays at a fast tempo. You really need to shut the fuck up. For a guy who doesn't watch any heat games please shut up.

you are positively delusional if you think a team built around all those veterans are going to run.

I mean- the regular season will tell. We will get an answer to this question. And I firmly intend to hold you and your clueless comments accountable.

Amare Stoudemire can barely play 20 minutes without coming off the court- and now he is going to play an up and down style? After all those microfracture surgeries? DELUSIONAL. Dwade is going to change his style of play- the consummate half court player- a guy who has had significant knee and hamstring problems?

the Heat are a slow, half court team, that cant shoot the 3 and are below average at rebounding the ball. They are not even a fly on the Cavs ass.

Mozgov scored 29 in a Finals game because the Warriors stuck to their brand of ball- and won the game. The Warriors dont care if Whiteside gets 40- as longas they win- which they will- because the Heat are a slow team, that is poor at shooting and poor at rebounding with next to zero young legs on the roster.

Nice description of last years depleted roster.

Not sure though why you continue to translate it into this years group.

If you think last years past injuries translate into this years, then you would be right-we're screwed, but if that's the case, if also applies to the Cavs and there continued history of being ring less will continue.

You're a moron if you think the heat are walking the ball up the court with dragic as PG. Nobody is saying they're going to run every damn second like a dantoni offense but they'll play at a faster tempo. Transition to this started last year once dragic came

Stick to talking about the cavs. You know absolutely nothing about the other 29 teams

 

[bksballer89]

Heat were ranked 9th in pace after acquiring dragic last year. They'll be top 10 this year as long as he stays healthy

Man....never seen someone so scared. It's okay, Wiggy, keep telling yourself this same shit everyday. Because as always, it's you that sounds delusional.

He really should be limited to the Cavs team board so he could talk to only himself.

yah...

AMARE STOUDEMIRE IS GONNA RUN THIS YEAR

and i am the delusional one....holy crap you guys need to take a step back and get your heads on straight.

Team chemistry is everything:
Amar'e has played in numerous systems over the course of his career, from the "7 seconds or less" Mike D'Antoni offense to even a brief stint in the triangle, he knows how to shift his game to help his team win. It also helps that he's familiar with Miami's primary facilitator, Goran Dragic because of his time in Phoenix. I envision Amar'e and Goran being able to parallel (somewhat) the two man game set that made Nash and him so effective in Phoenix.


Read and comprehend.

He's not going to be playing heavy minutes.
Assuming he's healthy, the above paragraph pretty much explains what we hope to see from him.

security in invoking LAST year's team for the guy...

Cavs roster is basically the same. You know what you're getting.

The Heat though, is totally different. Roster barely resembles what we saw last season.
The reason for hope is quite clear on paper.
The unknown is seeing it work on the court.

 

[bksballer89]

Heat with zero young legs on the roster.....only have 9 guys 29 or younger with only 3 of the 9 being older than 26. Yup 0 young legs alright.

 

[bksballer89]

Also ignore the fact that the heat were 9th in pace after acquiring dragic with a roster not as suitable for his tempo

i just find it funny the guy spends so much time bad-mouthing the Heat. i think Heatles was right. these guys scare the pants offa Wiggy...

 

[ManuForever]

For a guy who's a "fan" of a team that's a title "favorite", Wiggy sure does talk a whole bunch of shit about teams that he thinks shouldn't bother the Cavs. If they're not going to bother your precious group of overpaid babies, why the fuck are you bashing them? I'm nowhere near a Heat fan, but seeing you bash a team that you supposedly don't even care about gets really old really quickly. Especially when all of your posts are literally opinion based and not even based on the current upcoming season.

That dip shit will always be a dip shit. Seriously though, how dumb can one person be? And he's supposed to be a lawyer? He can't even comprehend basic logic.
