As a diehard bills fan I hope they get rid of Fitzpatrick too. They need a qb desperately. They have the potential, but without the right leader at the helm we are doomed for the same results.
I usually agree with you on a lot of things, but this is a reach. I think he is going to be just as important to the heat come playoff time when each good possession counts and plays are drawn up that need to be executed. Hes still as dangerous as it gets wide open off the screen on a inbound play. I think with guys his age is all about conserving them for when it counts. He will get his minutes up when they count the most and will earn his ring. No consolation prizes for him.
To think this teams championship or bust this year is to unrealistic. I take the heat as a prime example.. They still needed time to gell. Phil Jackson coached included.. But what I do know the following year with his tweaks on personnel.. He would have a complete championship contending squad.

The cavs have a brights future, but as of today they are not better than the Knicks or even more entertaining to watch.. Being that the cavs record this year will be below .500 & not even making the playoffs. They are probably not making the playoffs next year.. So your taking a 2-3 year head start on the trash talking. Your flow chart shows the Cavs winning the Championship in 2020..lol. Worst than a met fan to a Yankee fan right now.

Lol.. That's all that needed to be said. But the future is looking brighter post Lebron.. That's a good thing.

Must be related to Gilbert.. They also thought they will win a championship before Lebron.. How did that work out for them..lol.. The future is looking bright for them, but it's one step at a time. The Cavs are better than the Knicks but they haven't even made the playoffs the past 2 years.. Sounds about right.

Lol.. I was shooting more towards the eastern conference finals. That's why the 2-3 seed is crucial. They still have a long way to go before we can see if they can knock out the heat.. But as long as the Knicks are competitive that's all we can ask for.

Barring any major injuries & the luxury of playing in the east. The Knicks have a shot to go deep this year. Once amare comes back I hope he can take that Chris Bosh roll & do all the little things for the team.. Even if it puts him under the radar. Team 1st, and we are starting to look like 1.

I for one am rooting for the lakers if the Knicks don't make it to the finals.. I hate when people say someone can never accomplish anything. Anything is possible.. The timing has to be right. This is D'Antoni best shot to win & shut the critics up once & for all. Nash goes out with a chip.. Life is good. Well deserved for the both.
Cuban must have not liked how the discussions were going to bail out of a meeting to shoot shark tank..lol.. He was like screw it.. If he comes he comes. The move to Brooklyn, getting him some decent teammates and getting that extra money sealed the deal. Cuban knew it was a lost cause.
Im not trying to convince, its just stating they were not equal. Jordan wouldnt have won without Pippen.. So does that make him an equal to Jordans significance to that team?
You really considered those stat lines as Shaq being an equal teamate to Kobe? Because that reads like shaq took the lakers on his back as the alpha male and made it his point to win all three championships.
Huh? Shaq was the number 1 reason the lakers won those first 3 championships. He was the most dominate player in the NBA... If thats not killer instincts i dont know what is
Kobe wasnt the most dominate player in the Olympics, but Im sure he help set the tone in the locker room.. To prepare the team to attack with a killer instinct and get the job done. All that laughing and joking nonsense Howard was about will change and I think we might see a more focused and improved Dwight which could be scary for the rest of the league.
I think hes just setting the tone, because like the first year with the Heat.. Lebron played nice with the sharing deal and that doesnt work out. Someone has to lead. Kobe knows what it takes. He followed Shaq to his first Championships before he was able to lead. Same thing here... Dwight has to learn.
I guess their logic was to have 3 picks in the 1st rd plus them tanking this season to get 4 picks with 1 being a lottery pick.. Maybe trade up. Have the cap room to chase a good free agent or 2 within the next 2 years.. The magic need to get the 1 pick this year.. Hopefully as part of this trade stern rigs it for them to get it. If not this could take a while.
Wow.. you think Kobe will be better than Jordan based on that. Point blank Kobe was not even the best player on all his Championship tems. Shaq was for the first 3 he got. He was the pippen to MJ... Jordan was Jordan for all 6.. Won all 6 Finals MVPs.. they are not even in the same catergory. I can see lebron in this discussion if he gets his 6. Because he is the best player on the heat this year and any other championship going foward.
Lol.. Just crown them without even playing a single game. The regular season matchup means nothing. They would of gotten swept in the playoffs or won 1 game tops against the heat so that 2-2 goes out the window. Besides the fact they still have to deal with the thunder. Who have the bodies to match up with the lakers. The heat are the team to beat as Champs plus they getting better with Allen and hopefully a healthy wade this year.
lol... Got to love how Ny'ers think alike. I was going to question whether it was a bad thing to not mind that play. I think it came to late in that series.. It was a hard foul.. no one got hurt. Move on. There has to be punishment for going to the hole. You dont want your bigs giving out free vip passes to the basket.
2001 Finals: Shaq averaged 33.0 points, 15.6 rebounds and 3.40 blocks
2002 Finals: Shaq averaged 36.3 points, 12.3 rebounds and 2.75 blocks
