I didn't say that. I'm only stating what anyone without homer glasses on can clearly see.

The many "long time" Heat fans here like to complain Lebron has no help after a loss. Win? "Oh hey the big 3!"

Oh, gotcha. I don't fall into either the Heat fan or apologists categories, so I'm cool with that, lol. As a fan of players outside of Charlotte, Lebron is my favorite and Wade has been one of my favorites since Marquette, so I like to see them play well together. But, I'll be the first to say when they aren't playing well too.

This is truly a crazy series though... After SA won the opening game and then they took turns blowing each other out, it's hard to tell whom, if either of them does, have an advantage at this point.

Well I'm not a Heat fan, as can be observed. I give credit where it is due though, this one can go either way now that it's tied up. Crazy indeed. The NBA should definitely be getting their moneys worth and more from this finals.

Oh now suddenly Lebron has talent around him again? Lmao. I love this place.

Great game, Spurs wasted too many opportunities and got sloppy with the basketball.

 

Lol, aaand it's comments like this and the one from the other night when the Heat lost game 3 that makes it that much more enjoyable to see them win.  I might be wrong, but I haven't seen anyone here say he didn't have any talent around him (it'd take an idiot to suggest that)... and seeing as I've been one of the more vocal ones in these Miami threads probably the worst you could find me saying is that Bosh and Wade (and maybe a few role players such as Battier) needed to step up, LeBron was carrying that team there for a stretch.  Despite the talent on the team it really was the Miami Cavaliers there for a bit.

 

I'm not even a Heat fan--I damn sure respect them, and I admire LeBron's game--but there's a point where it becomes ridiculous.  We get it, you people don't like the guy... but regardless, he's one of the greatest talents the game has ever seen, in the prime of his career, playing in the Finals right now, and looking to repeat.

You really need to work on your reading comprehension.

He's a fanstastic player, on a team with a even more fantastic roster. He's houdini too often though.

Anyone who has an opinion that isn't slobbering his knob is a hater? This place definitely needs some parity.

The guy has more than enough fan boys. He gets plenty of excuses. Glad you like him though.

Well you kind of came in here throwing around an accusation that had no weight since no one here had said anything of the sort.  At that point it just kind of comes off as blind hate for the guy.. and excuse me here because my memory might be failing me, but I've never exactly seen a positive comment about him from you either.  I'm not sure if you're one of the Kobetards around here--and I'm not saying you are--but he can go jack up 30+ shots but as long as he hits 30 points and gets a couple of assists it's "but he did everything he could to help the Lakers win, they need to step up and help him!".  For the record I like really like Kobe and that was more of a general statement than anything, but the double standard is hilarious.

 

It seems it's the usual suspects around commenting when there's something negative that could possibly be said about LeBron.  Or, for instance, when he bounces back from a bad game it's still somehow spun negatively.  Case in point: your comment that I originally quoted.

 

That is called being a hater, my friend.  He also has more than enough of those too.

Oh it's been said, perhaps not put as eloquently like I described it.

Kobetards? From what I've observed in the Kobe threads, he gets far more hate here than James.

There is a common misconception around here that you can't appreciate one player without hating another. That's just a crock of bs and homer mentality. I don't have to heap blind praise on Lebron to appreciate his talent.

Ha, figured I'd go ahead and clear up that I didn't mean any offense to Laker fans with the Kobetard statement.  I like both of them and equally respect each of their talents, and I realize they both have flaws to some extent in their game.  It just irks me how unappreciated it seems he is sometimes because he's undeniably going down as one of the greatest of all time.  HeII, if he strings together a few more championship runs while playing at the level he did this season he might even eventually give MJ a run for his money (this coming from one of the biggest MJ homers you'll ever meet).

 

My bad if it seemed like I jumped on you, I just see the dude take some retarded ass criticisms and I might be quick to defend to him sometimes... much like Cam with his whole towel thing.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
