That is the other nominee. It does not look like it is going to matter but I could not find one on the Heat roster.

miami_fan · 10-04-2020, 10:11 PM

Well there’s one

stevew · 10-06-2020, 10:29 PM

LeBron’s body language is just brutal. He needs to stop bitching like a baby after every call

Arles · 10-10-2020, 02:24 PM

This is fantastic:

They are still likely to win but lakers need to find some new role players next year.

I really want the Heat to win the series but I just don't see them winning if LeBron and AD bring it and they get anything from the other players on the Lakers. I love what have seen from the team though. I don't know if they are too young to know they are supposed to be scared or if they are just fearless. Either way I will take the confidence they are showing in their individual games and in the system Spo has them running. I would have like to have seen a healthy Dragic in the series though.

Danny · 10-10-2020, 08:59 PM

Just a follow up that Kuzma sucks. Trade him for whatever you can get next year.

Drake · 10-11-2020, 09:11 PM

Anybody know what time the Heat play tonight? 'Cuz it looks like the Lakers showed up about an hour ago.

ISiddiqui · 10-11-2020, 09:12 PM

Seriously. How do you pull out that effort last game and then don't even show up tonight?

Oh well. I guess the gas has run out of the Heat wagon.

miami_fan · 10-11-2020, 09:59 PM

Oh shit I forgot about Dwight Howard is going to win an NBA title.

stevew · 10-12-2020, 12:15 AM

Congrats to Kostas Antetokounmpo, NBA Champion. He’s like the Clint Howard of his family.

There had to be someone who put $5 on Kostas to be the first of the Antetokounmpo brothers to win a title, right?

It’s part of a parlay with Eric Trump to win the 2024 election

In Orlando!

There has been a Duke player on every Lebron championship winning team.

This is not a coincidence.

Kansas Jayhawk, too

Mario Chalmers in Miami
Sasha Kaun in Cleveland
Markieff Morris this year

SI

spleen1015 · 10-13-2020, 03:41 PM

That is a coincidence.

sterlingice · 10-13-2020, 03:43 PM

Yeah, because Quinn Cook was so instrumental in getting that title this year

EDIT: I mean, Kyrie, sure. Battier was a useful rotation piece (though I could argue less so than Chalmers). But, this year?

He was so instrumental the team bus left him behind the other night.

This time I was right in ASSuming. Morey is leaving the Rockets.

Daryl Morey stepping down as Houston Rockets GM, sources say

sterlingice · 10-15-2020, 02:36 PM

stevew · 10-15-2020, 02:58 PM

Turd Frittata is such a horrible type of owner.

sterlingice · 10-15-2020, 03:52 PM

Yeah, we went from a model owner to a meddling cheapskate

SI

stevew · 10-15-2020, 04:54 PM

Ty Lue to the Clips. Good for him to get a rebound job.

stevew · 10-15-2020, 05:57 PM

John Lucas has no business getting another head coaching job. his last winning season was 93-94. Not to mention that insane move to have LeBron practice with the Cavaliers when LeBron was a high school senior.

I can't tell if he is trying to emulate Mark Cuban or Jerry Jones. Both are all emcompassing and want to control everything for sure. Cuban seems more likely to listen to his basketball people before making a final decision while Jerry strikes me as an owner who feels he is the football person in his organization and his football people should be listening to him as he makes the final decision.

Crazy. The Clippers really think replacing Doc Rivers with Ty Lue. Crazy.

stevew · 10-15-2020, 10:11 PM

Rivers-1 title
Lue-1 title

Rivers- 943-681 .581 91-89 in playoffs
Lue- 128-83 .607 41-20 in playoffs

spleen1015 · 10-15-2020, 10:14 PM

Goes 0-6 without Lebron and gets fired.

stevew · 10-15-2020, 11:19 PM

I’m pretty sure he told them to fuck off because he wasn’t willing to do the tank thing.

I do think he’s a good coach. Basketball is basically all he has.
