Some team will overpay for Nate after this improbable playoff run over Brooklyn.

Nate needs a free-flowing offense and HC that will allow him to chuck.

my bad about the Rihanna comment

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Simmons' stupid *** tweeted that the Heat were just like when James played on the Cavs.. all role players. 

I've seen people on here talk like that about the Heat too.. overdoing it on Bosh and Wade. They may not be the players they were before The Decision but they're nowhere near role player status yet.

Pretty sure Dub is sarcastically referring to "they"/people who said Wade was done and washed up

Whenever you're confused by a Dub post, just assume it's a veiled criticism of Lebron and the Miami Heat.

 

[itshlittt]

bosh is underrated as **** and i hate the heat

 

[champcruthik]

Andre Drummond is my very early nominee for breakout player of 2013-2014.

Thought about Kawhi, Hayward/Favors.

 

[coldcity]

Sorry but the Bulls don't need Nate if Rose is coming back.

Once again if he comes back tho.

either off the bench or going small & playing alongside dr1....we def need him without question

Though Rose was coming off the bench for Nate, that's how it looked in the playoffs.

Ah, got it. I probably would have figured that out right way were it not for the fact Wade is, in fact, dealing with an injury right now.

Knicks win tonight to force G6.

20 for JR. 28 for Melo.

Pacers close out at home in 6.

It would be interesting but I doubt it, Knicks look done.

Plus they back in NY, I'm sure JR was out last night

[champcruthik]

Lol, JR drinking the pain away. Truly hope he doesn't regress into old or bad habits.

The new work ethic and focus is what made him a top sixth man and scorer off the bench.

You still think Nate is out of the league in "less than 3 years" or nah?

[darthska]

even if the Heat are down 0-3 i'd still never count them out

Exactly. Which is why I' rather the Pacers or Knicks rep the East.

I know it would be a ratings nightmare for Stern to have Memphis vs. either of those 2, but that's what I'm pulling for.

I feel like... for me PERSONALLY... the Finals I'd be the most interested in would be Grizzlies vs. Knicks.

Best MATCHUP (most competitive Finals) would definitely be Memphis vs. Indy, imo.

Heat vs. Memphis, SA, or GS? Won't matter to me. Heat could be down 0-3 to the Spurs, and I'd still feel like "Let's just wait, folks. See what Stern has in store."

 

[Peep Game]

Pacers and Heat will be a good series

Yeah that's what i meant. But in this case it's a compliment not criticism. I have more hate faith in wade than most.

 

[champcruthik]

I think the key in future series (possibly Paul George) and maybe (Tony Allen later) is to be physical and attempt to wear down Bron. LBJ will get his but make every FGA grueling. Physical play will take a toil on his body. Bron's a physical specimen but still human.

Define: veiled

Andre Drummond is my very early nominee for breakout player of 2013-2014.

My favorite new player, easily.

Hey_

Westbrook said he talked to Derrick Rose — a friend of his — a few days after his injury. Westbrook said Rose told him to take his time and to “listen to [his] body” and “make sure [he] gets back 100 percent.”

Oh no.

Julius F. Wrek

 

[champcruthik]

So Russy won't be playing until 2016-2017.

Welp.

Looks like only God knows when y'all get Russy back, Julius. Sorry, man.

 

[Peep Game]

Well played Rose

 

[651akathepaul]

Nah. Russy ain't a *****.
