Honestly, i'm pretty ******* tired of hearing the same lame ass "he needs the ball in his hands" ****. If you don't know what you're saying, don't just throw **** out you hear once in a while because you think it makes sense. Every ******* player in the NBA needs the ball in his hands to be successful offensively. Every. Single. One. Your job as a ******* coach is to make sure that the ball is distributed enough to where your best players dominate the ball and are productive for the team. I've never seen Lebron or Dwyane Wade run around with the ball under his armpit yelling "my ball" when others wanna play. Chill the **** out with that garbage, Lebron would have been amazing in Chicago, he woulda done great for the Laredo Mudslingers, it doesn't ******* matter cause he's Lebron James.

/rant.

So Ed Davis should be coming back soon. I'm pretty pumped. I really like his potential

He doesn't move well without the ball. He doesn't catch and shoot spot up threes.

He's an iso player (probably the best or one of the best at that) who prefers taking the ball one on one at the top of the keys and who flourishes in transition.

it's not garbage.

Because contrary to Wade and Bosh, D-Rose wouldn't suck his dick and be butt-buddies with him

This is debatable if you choose to believe Rose (which I tend to do, especially over the assclown) when he said he would text Lebron over the summer and Lebron wouldn't respond. And when Lebron met with the Bulls, I don't think he spoke to/hung out with Rose at all.

I could be wrong on that, and it could have been the Bulls failure to get the face of their franchise together with Lebron, which is entirely possible. But I'm pretty sure they never met up depsite Rose wanting to.

I remember after "The decision" Lebron said that Rose never reached out to him and pitched CHI to him. And that he didnt feel as wanted in CHI. Which i interpreted as Rose saying "this is my team *****, go to Miami so i can get Boozer and kick your ass"

Entirely possible.

I just know Rose said he texted Lebron and never got a response so said **** it. He could have sent one text and that's it, not really tried. Or Lebron could have meant "Rose didn't orally pleasure me when I visited, or let me **** his gf" when he said Rose didn't reach out to him. Who knows.

I overall enjoy your tone and demeanor with regards to both Lebron and Rose/Chicago. Have some internet points to accumulate towards your coolness status.

EvilNixon · 11-22-2010, 02:31 PM

The only difference between LeBron in CHI and LeBron in Miami is Noah. Rose and Wade are essentially the same player on offense.

Tell us how you really feel.

Chucky · 11-22-2010, 03:13 PM

However we have to remember that it seems like Rose is mentally ******** so what he thought was a cell phone could have really been a slice of cantaloupe, and thus the "text" wouldn't have gone through

hahahahahahaha this made me laugh really hard. And I don't disagree with it.

Rose is definitely not the sharpest kid. But he's a lovable dope that lives on candy and isn't a douche, so I'll take it.

Also, he's kinda good at that hoopy ball thing.

EvilNixon · 11-22-2010, 03:43 PM

DEN VS GS tonight.

Looking for Monta to bounce back big time. I will be watching this live.

CC.SD · 11-22-2010, 03:59 PM

I could definitely imagine Rose trying to communicate with Lebron through a cantaloupe slice instead of a phone. Sorry for the mixup, LBJ.

Also, Nixon, your boy totally quit on his team last night.

That fall was cushioned completely but he still took the opportunity to daze out instead of fight back.

This, this, this. Dude wanted nothing to do with Artest whatsoever.

Also, I don't agree with him having gone to Chicago. Lebron needs the ball in his hands. if you're willing to put the ball in his hands you're taking it out of Rose's hands.

Melo would probably be a better fit because he can move well without the ball.

I don't think that is the problem. It is more just typical lazy basketball, hence why they have blown so many leads. They lead the league in long 2pt shots. There is no reason that a team with those three should have to settle for low percentage jumpers. That screams a combination of laziness and a bad offensive system; both of which I would consider a byproduct of poor coaching.

In other news the injury to Haslem has finally woken up the Heat to sign Erick Dampier according to Marc Stein. About time I think. He's 6'11", rebounds and blocks. 'Nuff said.

So what you're saying is the Heat are playing like they are an All Star team/team USA?

Shiver · 11-22-2010, 04:52 PM

Do you think that if you gave Phil Jackson that team that they would play like that? Or Pat Riley? That's my point. I don't think "Coach Spo" has the credibility to run that team.

Absolutely agreed. They need a coach basically to tell them how to play, as sad as that sounds for an NBA team. Not a coach that will be their best friend and sit back letting them do what they want.

In fairness, they are missing Mike Miller who would be nailing those open shots Arroyo is missing. Once he returns he'll provide a big lift. Problem is he's an injury waiting to happen.

Wade, LeBron and Bosh are ball dominant players and it's hurting them right now. Talent wise they're ridiculous, but chemistry wise they really don't fit together. At least not right now.

People who think NBA 2k11 on pro difficulty is an exact copy of the NBA.

As long as they get Haslem and Miller back for the post-season that is what is important. As Boston showed last year, seeding and regular season performance doesn't mean anything if you can get hot at the right time. 72 wins is out of the picture, but that may be a good thing.

Have you tried passing in that game? It's ******* ridiculous and thus I disagree.

Yeah, it seems like 2K racheted up the turnovers off of passes this year.

The actual turnovers per game isn't off, it's just that an inordinate amount of them come off of passes. They probably just did it to offset the incredibly low amount of turnovers from anything besides a picked off pass. You'll get an occasional three-second violation, but that's about it.

It is a sad state of affairs in Miami in general. Did anybody catch this Lebron quote?

Hey guess what...when you join up with Dwayne Wade and Bosh, you are taking the easy way, dilweed. I guarantee you Lebron thought it would be easy when he was talking about winning 7 championships.

Teaming up with them is no different than Kobe playing with Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol, the Boston big 4, etc. Can we move past this "taking the easy way out" canard?
