So you list Deron going 9 of 18 but not Monta going 9 of 22? and again more turnovers than assists. C'mon we all know Monta is a top level scorer but when you are comparing guys at least make it fair.

If only LeBron and Dwyane had teamed with Amare or Dirk instead. I think even David Lee would have been a better fit at this point.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

I took crap for saying this but I said in Miami Dwade/Joe Johnson/and Amare would be better than Bron/Wade/Bosh. I just felt like with the first option Dwade would be the designated go to guy and Amare would be the clear cut #2 option and JJ the #3. I think that JJ and Wade would mesh way better than Bron and Wade who are too similar. I just think that Wade, LeBron, and Bosh are too conservative thinking about each other's ego's. Joe Johnson and Amare are guys who would accept roles.

[MetSox17]

Wouldn't it be awesome if for the rest of their stint in Miami, both Lebron and Bosh played like dog ****?

[703SKINS202]

I find it hard to believe that Lebron will play like dog **** but like some people have said Bosh needs to pick it up, he's slowly learning how his game changes when the offense doesn't run through him. I think he's going to have to get way more aggressive to make Miami effective.

6 games into their season? lol I'm a fan of seeing the heat fail just as much as anyone but its ridiculous to write them off this early into the season. Let them mesh a bit more before we can laugh at them failing to bring "7 championships" to town.

[Shiver]

He needs to be a better rebounder, first and foremost. He needs to get that straight before he worries about how he fits in offensively. They need to transfer the brain of Udonis Haslem into Chris Bosh. What he would be able to do with 6'11" 245-lbs would be something to behold.

[MetSox17]

Except Bosh is more like 6'9. He's not a big guy at all, and it's not like his body frame allows him to just bully people either. He's a finesse guy without rebounding aggression, which will absolutely not bode well when you're looking at him to be your number one rebounder.

For some reason he reminds me of Shareef Abdur-Rahim.

[Shiver]

Uh, no. At the NBA combine he measured in at 6'10" 1/4 without shoes, 6'11" 1/2 with. Get your facts straight.

Draft Express measurement history

Also he has also been one of the NBA's top rebounders in the past. It isn't physical, it is mental. He is playing passive and hesitant.

[yo123]

I think Bosh just basically thought everything would be handed to him now that he's playing with Wade/Lebron and forgot he had to actually, you know...do something.

One inch, whoop-dee-doo. Don't get your panties in a wad, kid.

Also, i'm not sure what you mean by him being one of the NBA's top rebounders, because he has never been that. His career best rebounding performance on a team with garbage rebounders around him didn't even break the top five in the NBA. He's a guy that stands around the rim on defense for 36 minutes. When you're tall and you play under the basket, you'll get rebounds. And i had already mentioned that he lacks rebounding aggression, so what exactly is your point here?

[bigbluedefense]

Bosh is a *****.

He's not a big man to me. I hate big men who play like him. Shaq called him RuPaul for a reason. Dude is SOFT.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

I'm not going to hate on Bosh he's a great player on bad teams, he needs to learn how to be a good player on a good team. Still though a guy like him is rare. Someone who can stretch the floor like that can reallly open things up in the lane and also the perfect complement to a dominant low post big man. Problem is Miami expected him to be like a Dwight Howard down low and he is simply not that. I compare him to a rich man's Jamison. I always laughed though at people who thought he could be a franchise player on a contending team.

[MetSox17]

He can be a franchise player on a contending team, just don't expect him to do anything of significance on defense or in the rebounding aspect of the game. Trade him for Blake Griffin and Miami will be good forever.


Yes i know that'll never happen and it would be incredibly stupid of LA to trade Blake Griffin i am simply saying that Griffin in Miami would solve most of their problems. Shut the **** up.

Deron going 9-18 was a compliment. That 50% for a guard. He was getting his against Monta, but Monta was making him pay for putting it on the floor. He tried to post him u ad was getting his cookies stolen.

Monta's jumper was nonexistent last night and he looked gassed. he still outplayed D-Will AND we got the W.

You're really bragging that Monta shot 40% from the field?

'kay.

How much of the game did you watch?


Kay!

If a turnover-prone tree falls in a forest while shooting 40% from the field and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

[MetSox17]

No, cause the tree's dick is so far down EvilNixon's throat that it silences the only witness.

You agree Deron Williams is turnover prone?

OOOOOO personal attack xD

No, I agree with MetSox that you are absolutely intolerable.

[Brodeur]

I'm actually starting to sort of like EvilNixon.

I hate him more than Soviet Russia.

[EvilNixon]

I don't get the hate.


I don't think Monta is even a top 10 player. I'm a Warrior fan first and foremost.

I wholly agree he's not in LeBron/Wade/Kobe class


I just think he's starting to creep there.

but it's perfectly ok for scotty to ride Lopez like there's no tomorrow, even though he's not as good as Monta.

Nice argument, bro!

Whether I did or didn't is irrelevant. He shot 40% from the field. That is ******. Don't brag about his point totals when he does it inefficiently.
