Waving the white flag on the Heat season

[WiggyRuss]

Now you've gone and done it. The 3 post 250,000 word novel about how improved Irving is defensively that we are about to be hit with is on YOUR head.

no Bro....

just a few choice ones

Kyrie Irving goes for 57 in San Antonio and asserts himselfas the wingman LeBron has been missing since Dwade started going down hill post 2012


that- and the Cavs role players- Jr Smith, Mozgov, Shumpert, Thompson, etc- are way better than the Heats were.....


bring em on! Tony Parker aint got shit on KI2

 

[WiggyRuss]

just asking- did Pop clone Kawhi Leonard into a PG version so they have a guy that can play great D at SF and PG?

no? No Kawhi PG clone?

right...thanks....KI bro....KI....hes gonna takeover the NBA's biggest stages as the perfect incarnation of a Bron Bron wing man! he is Scotty Pippen with a set of balls.

Dragic, Wade, Deng, Bosh, Whiteside is a top 5 starting 5 in the NBA right now. Add McRoberts and Chlamers and you have a really good top 7. Miami hits on a draft pick (if they get one)... Miami could be a VERY dangerous team come next year. Avoiding any bad injuries (Bosh) and managing Wade's minutes are the keys for Miami (assuming Dragic resigns).

Cleveland is good.. But good luck. That Spurs team took apart Miami last year and Bosh/Wade actually play defense. Good luck with Love/Irving.

Bosh plays better defense than Love. There is no debating this. Unless you want to look like a clown please don't debate this. Every person in the world knows Bosh is better defender

And overall, I think Bosh would be better for the Cavaliers than Love.

B-easy gonna drop 30 on they haids tonight.

Actually 34-8-11, playing all 48 minutes

Love is a great defender, the Cavs pull him in crunch time because James Jones is an ELITE defender.

He would because he's a better, smarter player.

Parts of Loves game may be better, but Bosh is proven to be overall more versatile.

PHILADELPHIA -- Miami ended the season with two wins in one game. With a stopgap starting five each playing 40-plus minutes, the Heat held on to defeat the Philadelphia 76ers 105-101 on Wednesday night in a season finale more meaningful for the NBA draft order.

The Heat's win paired with Brooklyn's win meant Miami is all but assured of keeping its top-10 draft pick. If Miami owns the No. 10 pick or better after the draft lottery, the Heat keep that selection.

4 of the starting 5 played ALL 48 minutes.
UD played a few minutes because Z. Dragic had 3 early fouls

dude- Bosh doesnt rebound anymore or play in the post- Love still averaged double digit rebounds and has some toughness to him- plus Love is a very good three point shooter which is amazing when you have guys that can penetrate and kick the ball out like Kyrie and LeBron- plus- passing wise Love is just off the charts for a big man- i mean- have you seen his outlet passes? There were so many times this year where Love would grab a rebound - fire it 3/4 of thje floor to a sprinting LeBron who would not even have to put the ball on the ground before slamming it


I mean- AMAZING SHIT man.

Bosh is still a very good player- but he is older- is going to make about 25M a year- while if Love signs a max it should be for about 20M a year- Love is a better rebounder, passer, three point shooter, post threat- and while h will never be a good defender- he did improve this year and at least became decent.

If the situations were reversed- and LeBron and Love had played together for 4 years- and LeBron was just playing his first year with Bosh- things would look a LOT LOT DIFFERENT.

Before this year no one in their right mind would have suggested Bosh is better than Love- and just because LeBron and Love have had a rocky first year together and it has taken time to get acclimated- does not change that fact.- Wade and Bron really did not truly figure things out till year 2- and i see no reason why Love cannot do the same- especially if he truly commits tothe team and KNOWS he is not going anywhere.

I still think Bosh is a very good player but a 6' 11" PF that cant crack 7 rebounds a game- and also is not a threat behind the arc- is just not going to match the skill sets of a Kevin Love.

I mean- Bosh's bread and butter is that 18 foot jumper- he is LETHAL at it- that shot is slowly dying in the NBA though as teams realize that long 2's are the LEAST efficient in the game- admittedly Bosh is one of the few guys that makes it

Another novel, but despite all this greatness he gets benched in favor of James Jones in 4th qtr crunch time.

I guess Riley is looking forward to an offseason much unlike the last one.

Nice one Riley!

 

[bksballer89]

Riley basically said what heat fans said all year long about last summer

 

[lebron23james]

But love is younger and a better rebounder offensive player

 

[lebron23james]

The heat suck...they didn't make the playoffs in the le eastern conference

Lebron made the right decision to leave...and before the bosh excuse comes in they were below .500 when he was playing lol

 

[wildturkey]

A Lebron James user name that likes the Cavs and the Lakers? Something smells off here...

 

[WiggyRuss]

NBA: Does Pat Riley get LeBron?

great article that outlines the ACTUALY FACTS of Jame's departure- and how the Heat fans are just looking for a punching bag when sprouting these ridiculous consipiracy theories......GREAT GREAT ARTICLE- just shows the Heat fans that believe in a James conspiracy theory to wreck their franchise are plainly just bitter and/or uninformed.

Kinda like how Cavs fans were when he original left Cleveland, right?
