Oak bout that life he washed a few NBA cats over P and $

Missed this earlier.

Miami had the #2 offense in the league after adding Joe & sliding Deng to the 4.

#1 at home.

Small ball really hyper-charged their offense & they still play elite D.

So, yeah. Chris Bosh wouldn't necessarily help. He hasn't played in months & inserting him into the lineup really changes the dynamics of the team. Unless Spo exclusively uses him at the 5, which is doubtful considering the amount of 4 he played this year

Wouldn't help? 

 We've been playing Haslem and Josh McRoberts at back-up center

They've proved between the first two years of stats that Whiteside and Bosh is probably better in separate line-ups if that's what you mean

Cavs gonna play Love at the 5.

Hassan aint gonna rebound

the irony...oakley was one of the fakest tough guys

 

[freeze]

Coach Bud still rocking that Enron account executive the day the feds show up face.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Cavs tried to play Love at the 5/on Hassan last time we played them and we ran them out the building, surprised they kept trying with that line-up. Him on Whiteside would be the only chance we'd have at being competitive, if Heat beats Raps

 

[a-friend]

Can the Cavs do this against GSW tho

Matters none.

It is The Thunders Year.

What made him fake tough?

 

[HOU$TON]

Hawks can't win one game?

 

[a-friend]

Hawks can't win one game?

Their bench is horrible.

Cavs bench could run with ATL's starters, ATL's bench is food.

There is a reason ATL was +71 with Korver on the floor and -27 with him off, last series.

Asked if he has ever thought what it would be like to be able to play like J.R. Smith, LeBron

James chuckled. "That is almost a trick question right there," James cracked. "What do you mean? That you can shoot any shot that you want?"

 

[art vandelay]

Fam I forgot all about that. It was funny as hell, he tried to sue or something.

The only way San Antonio or Miami don't win the championship is if neither team makes the finals.

Did you just completely stop reading after "wouldn't help"? I explicitly addressed that.

Spo would almost certainly pair Bosh with Whiteside at some point, which would hurt Miami.

 

[Jokegeta]

He coulda pulled up. But he ain't thought that was GANGSTA

LMAOOOO

 

[ill steelo]

I'd like to know how much of Miami's restraint with Bosh is that they kind of have a good thing going right now and Bosh/Whiteside pairing kills spacing for a Dragic/Wade back-court that won't work without it.


Could not care less what Lowry's shooting %'s are, if he puts pressure on the defense of off PNR's he could still make an impact. He looked terrified to do anything last night.

I agree with your points, but I think the main driver that forced him to shut him down was they didn't want him to die on the court.

Fair point

Read it, might've read it wrong. My bad then

 

[mgrand15]

I mean if Bosh comes back at this point - after not practicing for a long time, he's obviously going to be used as a backup 5 mostly. Maybe some 4 next to Whiteside if he's playing well. How they used him earlier in the year isn't really relevant - the team and situation is totally different.

A $100 mil player who is part of the core would only be used as a bench player exclusively? When his preferred position is the 4 anyway? I wouldn't be nearly as certain about that as you are, especially if Cleveland were to build a 2 game lead on them & Tristan/Love beat them up on the glass

 

[tekthemaestro]

i dunno why this conversation is still going. bosh is sidelined/redshirted/86ed for the post-season. why even debate what position he would play if he came back

 

[tekthemaestro]
