King James the Wanker

[andrew057]

If Bynum can play 20+ mins, I dont think it will be pretty for the Heat.

Either way its going to be a cracking game. Same with Celtics-Knicks tomorrow.

 

[InThatNumber]

Great point. He'd have to be, for the last two seasons, one of the most valuable players in modern NBA history. The Bulls, without MJ, were at least able to make the playoffs and be competitive.

Excellent point about LBJ worth however it is worth noting that the Bulls teams that made the playoffs without MJ had players and coach who had all been through the first 3 peat. Plus Pippen did a great job leading them the season MJ went to baseball.

Cleveland never had that kind of experience or depth that Chicago 91-93 had built up.

12-IN-A-ROW.

And? :?

Since when does New York matter or the New York Post? I am sure they have been impartial to the whole "The World Hates Lebron James" BS.

Next we will be posting The National Enquirer as a credible source :lol:

Have a read, will help some of the teams looking to stop the momentum.

Epic fan boy. Posting a picture that shows how much of a bitch the NY media is and you get all homodefensive.

 

[The 18th Man]

Yes, yes I am :lol:

 

[Big Mick]

WOOPS!

2nd good team they've played in 13 games...and they lose at home.

They may be gelling...but beating up on bad teams isn't an indication they are ready to compete with the likes of the Celtics and LA.

Dallas is an underrated team.

 

[The 18th Man]

Yeah, good win by Dallas. Very much agree re: Dallas being underrated. Oh well. I had fun with it, things get harder from here on the road too. I still think we are growing as a team whilst trying to find the right balance to get the ball to our "big three" evenly.

 

[Fast Eddie]

I don't think it's about learning to get the ball to the big three evenly at all.

 

[The 18th Man]

I don't think it's about learning to get the ball to the big three evenly at all.

It isn't all about it, I didn't say that, though it's ensuring all three are contributing or getting their touches thus providing headache for the defense who can captialise on our lack of size.

So what is it all about for Miami?

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Good defensive teams don't care. Boston don't care who has the ball. Lakers don't care who has the ball. Mavs, Spurs, Magic they don't care who has the ball. The Clippers care and so do the Wizards because they suck.

Dallas have proven that if Miami can't have the paint and are forced beyond the permiter they're in deep sh*t.

I don't think the Heat big 2 can get the job done against the better defensive teams and they're going to have to come up against atleast one in the East if they're going to make noise and maybe two or three to win the championship.

 

[The 18th Man]

True Tonearm.

Look, I don't do the "take the piss" too well online it seems but I readily admit to being a biased Miami fan though concede we do have a bit to do to challenge the likes of LA, Boston and co. I know this.

It will be an interesting story for the rest of the year, I quietly believe season two or three as a unit will see this all pay off for us.

 

[betcats]

they need to play lebron at the Point i think.

 

[Ridders]

they need to play lebron at the Point i think.

Gotta say I disagree. I think they've looked better since taking Lebron away from point and moving him off the ball a bit more.

While their quality of opposition hasn't been great, I don't think it's a coincidence that their winning streak coincided with Chalmers being re-inserted back into the rotation.

I maybe overrating Chalmers here, but if he can be what he was in his rookie season (i.e. a decent defensive point guard who could knock down 3s consistently) then I think he can be the answer to their supposed PG problem.

Thats fair enough, they have looked better recently. Im still not very impressed but, i think atm they will a good team with a good pg and a good big, like Dallas.

 

[The 18th Man]

How many good teams have they played but in that 8 game stretch?

It included Cleveland, Kings, Detroit, Atlanta without Joe Johnson, Golden State, Washington - The only decent teams they've played are Bucks and Utah in that stretch.

To suggest that this implies they are now dominant is a joke imo because they should be against those teams. If they are not...then questions get asked. Questions get asked when a team with 3 of the best players in the league lose to Indiana, Memphis and the 76ers lol.

Dallas has won like 11 in a row but there are still questions there...as there are with the Heat.

As for suggesting Chicago don't have size...lol Noah and Boozer sh*ts on Bosh and Haslem. Or Bosh and Big Z. Both rebound their ass off, something that the Heat don't do.

They have played a soft ass schedule so far and played majority of their games against below .500 teams.

What is their record against teams above .500?

In the next 8 game stretch they play the Knicks twice, Hornets, Dallas and the Lakers....lets see what they do there. If they go 8-0 there....then yeah they are gelling and are officially a team.

As of now, they've played a weak ass schedule and beating on teams who just don't have enough talent to compete.

Prove to me that you can beat the teams like the Lakers and Boston...and I'll respect them. Until then, they are just a group of all-stars.

Big Mick, a message from Uncle Pat,

A clinic was on display. We tore apart the defending 3-time NBA Champions at home. Six from seven over this stretch, nine straight on the road. Enough now. We gelling. Sit back and enjoy the show. Stop the now comical arguments. Watch the team and not the box score from ESPN and you will see something pretty special forming here.

Oh darn it, we lost to Dallas. Mick's bar wasn't reached and the perfect 8-0. I guess he was right, we ain't gelling as unit :lol:

And another thing, James is the premiere player in the NBA, it's only respect for the elder statesmen Kobe that sees some not dare rate James peerless.

MVP! MVP! MVP!

 

[Big Mick]

I said...prove to me on Christmas you can beat a good team.

Where were you when you got smacked up by Dallas? pretty quiet then...the first time you'd played a good team in that stretch.

Tonight the heat were dominant...the Lakers in all-sorts.

I think Spolestra has got a good rotation going now and they are now gelling as a unit.

I still see holes in their game but, and I think come finals they will be rectified.

I still say teams like Boston will beat them.

But against top 4 teams....the Heat are 1-5 now with the win tonight.

So while Uncle Pat...can give the silencer all he wants...1 win proves you are gelling...not that you should just be given the title.

Don't move the goal posts Mick. You wanted us to go 8-0 over this stretch (one game to go vs NY) and we are 6-1 with a two tough wins on the road :lol:

Backpedalling fast pal. Nothing this team do will be good enough for the haters. Fair enough.
