I did not watch much NBA this last season but I can't even see them get past the Celtics more=less lakers???????????

 

 

They are about to sign Mike Miller which will give them a threat from 3 pt range and rumor is that Derek Fisher is flying out to Miami tomorrow to meet with Pat Riley. They are also trying to resign Udonis Haslem. I'm sure some vets that want to win a ring will be knocking on their door to sign at a very discounted rate...

Isn't Shaq a free agent? Buwhhahaha. I'd love to see Fisher, Shaq and Lebron clean Kobe's clock at least twice.

I doubt it. Wade's a proven guy who can definitely hit the Finals with this team, but I keep suspecting Lebron's mere presence will hurt the team in many ways.

How has LeBron ever hurt his team on the court? Seems like hating to me.

"He's unstoppable and has been commanding double teams." aka on Bynum's beastly 10 and 10 avg.

 

Cuz Lebron gains more attention than he's worth. Scottie Pippen wasn't always talked about by ESPN.

Oh yeah he was.  I wonder if you were really watching ball back then but Scottie was one of their favorite players to show highlights of....even when he went to the Blazers he was really popular.  He was especially popular the 2 years Jordan took off....

Attention on the court... is ALWAYS a good thing. If the other team's attention is on one player, all the other players have an automatic advantage. Especially when you have the court vision that LeBron has.

Bulls won two series ending Game 6s this way. Paxson and Kerr have never ever been mentioned among the greats, or even among standout Bulls of that era. Yet they hit the big shots that Jordan fed them for.

If the Heat go ahead and snag Mike Miller, dude can plant himself behind the 3-pt line and shoot wide (by 10 feet) open shots.

Attention off the court can be good for your teammates too... takes the pressure off of them. No one blamed Jamison's bricks, O'Neal not being able to be Shaq, or Williams's inconsistent scoring. Attention to LeBron, blame to LeBron.

Heat will win the ring next year, with more titles to come.

Wade credited James with successfully recruiting center Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who announced Tuesday that he'll leave Cleveland after more than a decade and sign with the Heat this week. Plus, Wade expects free agent sharpshooter Mike Miller, who made 48 percent of his 3-pointers last season, to sign in the coming days. Miller agreed in principle several days ago to a deal that remains unsigned.

 

 

I actually feel sorry for Cleveland.  I really think the league needs to abolish the Larry Bird rule.

I feel sorry for the fans because of how inept the management has been the last 7 years.
