They need to gut the team, keep Adams, sign Eric Snow, Aaron McCkey and Larry Brown.

And most importantly ....move him to shooting guard

The Heat are not the worst team in the playoffs

Glad I didn't have to be the one to say it

 

[freddy fig]

Only person who thinks this team is gonna beat the warriors is Freddy after like 10 shots

Sweep incoming

The heat are better than the bucks, Wizards and Celtics. Stars or no stars. They are better than the spurs, Timberwolves, thunder blazers(by better I mean in a 7 game playoff series they beat all of those teams)

The thunder have 2 stars and looked dreadful

Nah.

This Heat team with a sackless Whiteside and no Dion, I'd put ahead of only Washington (While iffy on Bucks)

"im not about throwing my teammates under the bus" ~Lebron 5 days ago.

 

[freddy fig]

When da Pels win in 7..itll be the GOAT upset #504sho

 

[Quincy McCall]

Boston/Philly would be fun, they're the Heat with better bigs, better home court, deeper wing depth and actual competitors

"im not about throwing my teammates under the bus" ~Lebron 5 days ago.

How should Lebron answer that question?

Srs question

 

[atlsfinest]

The whole philosophy behind the process is to give the team a chance to make it to the conference finals as often as possible to be ready when the opportunity strikes. It just so happens the opportunity is now and hopefully they will be ready for years to come.

"The process" had nothing to do with making the conference finals. It was about bottoming out as opposed to be a treadmill team. It was about getting high draft picks, acquiring assets (picks and young players) and maintaining cap flexibility.

Love is shooting 32% from the field with a broken finger that is OBVIOUSLY effecting him. You want him to be getting more shots though. Got it.

Fam we Gonna act like this is the first time people have accused Love of playing like trash While on Bron's Team? Rodney Hood Is A very capable scorer, Jordan Clarkson, George Hill, J.R Smith etc etc are aall guys who've shown they could put the ball in the basket. They've joined this Cavs Team with Lebron & Have Been The EXACT same players they were coming from other situations if not worse.

Yet somehow someway dudes still act like Lebron is this Gamechanger for other players. Like his game is so beneficial to empowering others & making them play better. That's my biggest Knock on Lebrons Narrative is that he's Such a elite Playmaker for others. He's a very high usage guy Who is an elite scorer & difficult to guard one on one... So he breaks down the defense & gets Shooters wide open shots.

However if your a player who needs the ball in their hands, or someone who needs touches to get a rhythm your toast. Lebrons teams aren't teams that are gonna constantly move the ball & let everyone get into rhythm... it's predicated around him attacking & you essentially having to become a catch & shoot threat. When your not knocking down the open shots or getting wide open layups... you basically become useless in that offense with him.

So it Amazes me that people bash Russ For not letting players get a better "feel for the game" when we know that he's a chucker... And then give Lebron a pass for doing the samething & freezing teammates out, while in the same breath saying getting teammates involved is his greatest strength.

How should Lebron answer that question?

Srs question

if you dont hear the thinly veiled jabs like usual, im not gonna spend my time pointing them out to you. srs

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Bron is really just a higher iq Russ with worse fashion sense

 

[nick.]

Imagine slandering Chris Paul and Harden then clamoring to max out playoff p.

ballgame

 

[God]

I see my guy leeme tryin out new material.

 

[shotsrangout]

the thing that separates lebron and russ is that lebron has 3 rings

 

[frshstunna]

This tek dude has been off base with every post

Came in here firing some wild hot takes

 

[B Sox]

Please stop comparing Russ to LeBron. They shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath. Russ put up 43 shots. That is only 7 less than the ENTIRE REST OF THE TEAM COMBINED. He is a bad 3 point shooter and attempted more 3s than the total number of shots the team's 2nd best player got.

 

[ballinsam23]

Who is the worst team in the playoffs then?

 

[tekthemaestro]

Came in here firing some wild hot takes

definitely. saying that simmons is surrounded by shooters and embiid which makes it easier to get assists? WOO! pipin' hot take. saying simmons wouldnt have anyone to pass to on the jazz except rubio and gobert? mustve been trolling. saying russ is a me first pg? ridiculous

some of you guys are flat out stupid.

 

[BIG FISH]

Came in here firing some wild hot takes

Right

 

[shotsrangout]

Who is the worst team in the playoffs then?

milwaukee,boston,

i would say washington.. god washington is some cheeks

 

[BIG FISH]

They are a team full of role players and no real stars.

Dragic is an all-star

 

[tekthemaestro]

milwaukee,boston,

i would say washington.. god washington is some cheeks

washington. boston doesnt deserve to be up there when their number 1 and 2 option are both injured, and the rookies/role players are carrying the workload.

 

[ballinsam23]

Man I want Milwaukee to advance so bad just so he can guard Simmons all game.
