THE OFFICIAL MIAMI HEAT SUMMER of 2010 Thread.

ESPN is recapping all of the losing moments in Cleveland history, going back to Willie Mays' 1954 catch.

 

Get some tissue and wipe up now......

 

Sec, I'm getting ready to consume the remaining 1/4 of Stoli left over from the NFL draft weekend.

I'm doing it in your and HD's honor. You win.

 

Poor Wilbon looked like he was gonna cry. lol.

The sad thing is that I fully expected Golic to **** on Miami.

 

Well, sometimes Groomsmen will foot the bill for the honeymoon Des.

-Bride may have wanted to have friends and family attend the wedding but not the after party/honeymoon/reception.

 

Again... why not just hold the wedding in South Beach to begin with then?

Rhetorical question, though. LeBron is coming to Miami.

 

But Why, CLE just played in the East Conf Finals did it not? Lebron stays, puzzle pieces get mixed in...winning it all is not out of the question.

I dont buy that it couldnt happen.

 

NJ a better option than Cleveland? Not so sure about that....

 

Damn, was that 2 years ago??? My bad...I said it #4.

 

Miami stole Warfield from the Browns

Miami beat the Indians in the WS

Miami may very well steal Lebron.

 

Exactly, and James knows this, which is why imho he leaves Cleveland.

Cavs window has closed and it is obvious.

ESPN capologist on now, dolt..imho each one of the three takes a haircut to ensure it isn't the Nuevo Tres Amgios and 8 schlubs..which is why no one has signed a contract as of yet.

 

Don't be too hard on him. He built that team out in Portland. He's just breaking it down for the average ESPN viewer who has the intelligence of a turnip and the sports knowledge of Stu Scott's pillow.

 

Lebrons a die hard Buckeye fan.....

He has been on the sideline of many big games, how ironic that he likely would be boo'd out of the shoe when the Buckeyes pound MIAMI this September?

Life is funny...Im not a Cavs fan but Lebron wont be welcome on that sideline anymore I can bet u that.

 

So? The best player in the league needs help. Even when Wade was amazing back in the NBA finals he had help.

I'm not saying the Cleveland team with Lebron isn't good enough, but it's obvious even the best players are mortal.

 

Let's not jump the gun here....

 

More on the Accuscore projected stats Sec mentioned:

Heat W-L record without LeBron: 55-27. With: 66-16.
Chance of a conference title without: 19.7%. With: 57.1%.
Chance of an NBA title without: 9.9%. With: 35.3%.

Would love to know their methodology on this.

I was thinking the exact same thing and wanted to be polite about it. Portland and OKC butting heads will be the main storyline in the West for the next couple of years, I think. Portland might--MIGHT--have a narrow window to get a title if LeBron only signs a four year deal as rumored.

Randy Pfund must be thinking "Damn, do I really want this job now?"

If Terry Porter were to hand me a title, I'd take it too.

 

Everyone needs help no question but to form a semi dream team waters down your "moment" IMO....

But like one of the 4 billion reporters said, Lebron deep down doesnt want to be the man and I tend to agree.

Kobe Bryant is the hands down the best player in the NBA imo, he had some help but he also has 5 rings.

 

chrisbosh

Finally done with my physicals! I have to hurry so I can get in front of the TV and watch "The Decision"

Mmmhmmmm

 

Not trying to hijack the thread, you Heat fans have much to be excited about tonight...


But u sure as hell wont on September 11th in Columbus.

 

Here's how the NBA cap works: it doesn't exist.

If you go over the "cap" total, then you pay a 100% luxury tax. Meaning, for every dollar you exceed the cap by, you pay that exact same amount to the NBA league office in a tax. So if you exceed the cap by $200,000, then you're actually paying out $400,000: $200k to the contract and $200k to the league office.

The only true cap in the NBA is on the maximum value of contracts, which is determined by how many years you've been in the league and whether or not a team is re-signing the player in question. The longer you've been in the league, the more money you get. If you re-sign with your current team, you get more money.

Sec can elaborate further than that.

As for the segments themselves, I'm just pointing out that ESPN has to give watered-down explanations because their average viewer doesn't conceive of any of this. ESPN's viewers have been trained to look at only the player drama in sports and not the business side.

 

Bosh "tweets" like a 15-year old highschool girl.

 

I doubt Paul Pierce, KG, or Ray Allen feel their moment was watered down.

 

Bull****!!!!

 

Guess Gamble was so fast his Jersey changed directions....


Read it and weep.
