The Official NBA Thread

[pums]

I don’t buy “just cause you won before” means you can publicly criticize guys too. Times have changed. Ask pop. Ask belichick.

probably openly going off on a guy for not playing as much isnt as bad as it should be.

Saying he should play more games is kinda tame but i get it he went to the media

 

[Cashflow]

Imagine your boss telling you to “shut your mouth” lmao

Imagine you’re at work, and your coworker for whatever reason is taking time off but he’s still coming to the office and screaming well y’all would get this project done faster if I was at work.

IDK Jimmy has a rep of coasting during the regular season and missing games because of injury. I get it from Riles' POV. Maybe he shouldn't have said it, but I think he gets the benefit of a doubt at this stage.

Last noteworthy thing I remember Pat Riley doing is running Lebron out of town because of his own ego. He needs to shut up and GM.

 

[pums]

He talked back to bron and wade he aint about to put anyone over that org

Man lebron is my guy but honestly I like what Riley did with lebron. And your right that's why lebron left, but look at the Lakers now. On they 4th coach in 7 years. People forget Lebron wanted Spo gone at one point in the 2011 season. Hes the best coach in the NBA. Pat Riley is last of the OG'S. He's just being real, he dont want to pay Jimmy for half *** availability. Especially when there are so many young guns in the league. A lot of these older generation stars are trying to get paid off they name instead of production.

I think he knows he needs Jimmy. I think he also knows Jimmy isnt the type to take that the wrong way. I personally would have kept ot out of the media but if thats his style so be it

let us not revise history, lebron was leaving south beach before pat riley said a word at that exit press conference.

What has Spo accomplished without LeBron? Who has been more successful since LeBron left, LeBron or Spo?

Nah he just happened to enroll his boys to Cleveland school in May out of coincidence

That exit interview was definitely what did it...

 

[WASHED KING]

Bron left cause of Pat

 

[rolaholic]

Bron left cause of Pat

He left because Cleveland had just gotten another no.1 pick with Kyrie entering his prime while his squad was getting older and just got crushed in the Finals with Wade was entering his twilight...

2014 Finals laid bare and exposed all of the weaknesses of that team for everyone to see

 

[pums]

Bron left cause that window closed

 

[picasso swerve]

Except himself. He really showed them…

He did, he said shutup about Spo hes gonna be your coach.

 

[clyde the glide]

I always felt like Pat said what he said because he already felt he was likely leaving

Absolutely read the tea leaves he was leaving.

 

[WASHED KING]

Actually Pat was talking crazy and Bron wanted to do right by Cleveland.

 

[Cashflow]

As soon as the Finals were over, LeBron had moving trucks packed and loaded but sure if it was Pat Riley’s words.

 

[sneeker]

The defense was incredible. Truly a joy to watch. Denver looked flustered the whole game.

Minnesota looked unbeatable last night. Without Gorbert which is crazy.

You make it seem like Ant Man is not the main guy for the Wolves.

 

[sneeker]

Also, can we start talking about Jokic needing more help?? Cause he needs more help.

That would be the self proclaimed King's excuse.

He bouta step on Jamal's chest since the reporter asked if he called him daddy. This is history repeating itself with kyrie and bron
