I'm reading comments on twitter about that and wow people are fucking stupid. There are people outraged that he said that. I couldn't imagine being so stuck up as to be so easily offended. Between that and Gee's comments I have seen a lot of idiotic outrage this week.

Wouldnt be surprised if Hibbert gets fined for that comment and Lebron gets fined for complaining about the reffing in the post game presser.

Sounds like everything is starting to come unraveled in Miami. Dwayne Wade thinks he needs more touches and blaming his lack of productivity on James trying to do too much.

Yea Wade needs more touches so he can go 4-15 instead of 3-10.

The NBA could dispel (sp) the thought of needing a superstar in the finals or one of the big cities/team with a Pacers/Spurs matchup.

I might watch 20-30 game minutes of that series.....but not sure I'll watch much more if the Heat are in as this postseason hasn't interested me much at all.

Seriously....LeBron is better than he was in Cleveland, but are his teammates better?

Would Spurs/Pacers get lower ratings than Spurs/Cavs got? Would at least be pretty close I'd imagine.

Spurs/Pacers might be better as NBA fans might tune in for potentially Duncan's last NBA finals. But I don't see much interest for the casual fan.

yea, I agree. If SA wins it all I would think Duncan would walk away.

Wade seems like a guy who comes off the bench and plays about 15-20 min and shoots a lot

Yeah, wade is a fucking moron and needs to know his role

Hughes could ball....one of the original overly tatted players. Lol

It was just a question....I meant when Cleveland lost to Boston and made the finals I think the year before. With Wade and Bosh sucking there isn't much to impress on that team.

There was no talent on those teams....Miami is just old talent. Because of it, I think LeBron leaves for sure after 2014....probably to LA

Problem is, if the Heat don't win at least 1 more 'ship before LeBron leaves his legacy is forever ruined/tainted. Couldn't get it done in Cleveland so he ran for greener pastures. Only getting 1 in Miami before bailing for greener pastures again would be devastating for him.

His legacy was tainted the moment he ran off to a "super team". I have trouble watching nba basketball because these athletes aren't geared like old school guys. Kobe is the last superstar that is a killer out on the court....the rest are too chummy

Oh, I agree but I think some people (dick sucking media members) were willing to overlook this and forgive him. But I can't see him surviving doing it a second time if he only ends up winning 1 in Miami.

Just a random question to throw out there, If Duncan gets his 5th title, Who is the best player post Jordan?

Shaq, Duncan or Kobe? Could throw Lebron in there if he wins another title or two but out of those three, who would it be?

Lol....true, but to be fair, I have never seen a superstar commit a foul.

Also, seeing the big fundamental get kicked out of a game for laughing is still one of the reasons I hate nba officiating
