He hit 6 3s in the last playoff game he played in.

... Which means what exactly? He's played in nearly 60 games since then & shot below 30% from 3 in most of them. He was so putrid that Pop moved him out of the rotation. He simply doesn't have it anymore.

We just saw something similar happen to Jason Kidd. He was solid early in the season, then he fell completely off. Stack Jack is going through something similar.

Edit: We're talking about a dude who, in the highly unlikely event that Miami picks him up, would be warming the bench right next to Shard in May & June. He will have absolutely zero impact for Miami or whoever he signs with. I've spent 3 posts on him which is more than enough so I'll end it there.

Pretty sure with Miller gone, they'll have to get much more out of Rashard and James Jones to make up for that loss

Mike Miller was out of the rotation up until the finals tho. So for 99% of the season he was sitting right next to Shard & JJ.

Miami usually only runs with 1 backup each behind Wade & Bron. Ray Allen took Miller's spot

 

[Ja's 2¢]

Well damn. Thought this dude was 100%. Could turn into another bynum type year.

Except the Heat lost no players and is giving him as little money as is legally possible to get it done.

I was more referring to him not being able to play at all.

 

[Peep Game]

Who has the worst knees on the heat this year?

Enters Chris Bosh comment

This too easy

 

[seymore cake]

Miller was big on the glass and behind the arc for them when he did play. So I wouldn't say they didn't lose anyone.

 

[datznasty]

You would think dude would come out and say something all that money being made you would think he'd want some

That's why he came out . Y'all don't remember this ?

I've seen video of a different dude, Anthony McClelland, who looks and even played more like LeBron, was one of the top players in Ohio, is a career criminal. I'd bet money on this dude if it's one of the 2

I just don't get what dalembert did . It made too much sense for him to go too Miami but it is what it is

Same here. It's like he could care less about winning nor earning money. Very confusing

 

[datznasty]

Plus Miami obviously has a high Haitian population. Josh Smith signing in Detroit made no sense to me either, but I mean he mad a lot of money at least, but he should have pushed for that s&t that would have landed him in Houston with Howard and Harden

Believe me, Dalembert is a very strange person. There's not much of a motive between most things he does.

..... which was hardly ever after they got Ray, which is why Arison didn't want to pay the lux tax associated with Miller.

Has anyone seen Oden jump? I wonder how much pressure going up for a block or rebound will place on his knees.

 

[Bert.]

if u r in need of a car for the sole purposes of going to work and back and the grocery store, THATS ALL ........... do u go and buy a benz ? no. do u go and buy a bmw ? no. U go and get a car that is just good enuff to get u to work and back and to the store and backsimple as that. that car should also be gotten at just the right price too, or maybe even less than that



IN PAT RILEY I TRUST

Oden = 2007 BMW 7 Series with 100k+ miles

It should be available on 72p on youtube

I remember talking about this years ago on here.

That is DEFINITELY his dad.

Probably something like this

 

[awwsome]

Dude has some strong genes, Bron looking like a clone without the Jerry Curl

Allegedly Portland hired a kinesiologist who found that the problem with him was the surrounding muscles around his right knee weren't strong enough to provide proper balance and weight distribution, which caused his left knee to overcompensate.

He offered suggestions to fix it, but Portland ignored all of them & Oden subsequently went down again. Hopefully for Oden he's corrected those imbalances.

Interesting that makes sense.

 

[everysingletime]

If Oden was smart, he'd have gone to the Suns.

 

[tommyicerocking]

Lebron looks more like his mother than anything else.

 

[arstyle27]

Doesn't scare me one bit.

 

[markangelo]

 

[drewsone]

So Oden, who will play less than 10mpg, is the Hibbert stopper now?

This is in whom you place your faith?

....

I think hell be okay. Don't think he'll be playing major minutes and he might even not play every game. The reason Roy killed the Heat was because of his size. Pretty sure Heat will try to let Greg coast or something till the playoffs so he can at least bolster up the paint lol. If it doesnt work out and he gets hurt again then that was the risk. But he was only given like 2 mill.

 

[finallyfamous]

lol. Dont think any team fears the Bulls.
