I agree with BigHurt, it's gotten to the point where we already consider the Heat a dynasty.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 08:42 AM) This has been one of the most entertaining seasons of NBA in 15 years and not just because of the Bulls. If people stop watching because the Heat win it all, that is sad. I hope last nights choke is the game that stands out most when the series is said and done because they will have lost. This I hate the Heat and LBJ as much as the next guy (I really thought he was gonna be a Bull last summer), but I don´t get why people say they´ll stop watching if they win, they are not invincible, nor will they ever be, they ain´t the 86 Celtics.The Heat will probably win a ship or 2, really impossible to know how many but they will also lose these next few years and it´s gonna be fun watching the Bulls and Heat go at it.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 2, 2011 -> 03:02 PM) Two things - first, the Magic would never deal Dwight to another Eastern Conference team, second, I refuse to speculate on the destination of any superstars in the NBA ever again. Just look to Gerry's sig for a reminder of why. Maybe he´ll pull a LeBron, like keep the Magic front office in the dark and take his talents to the Windy City as a free agent to combat the Evil 3

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 2, 2011 -> 02:49 PM) Shaq's been pretty insignificant for at least 3 years. Especially the last two. Clearly a case of a guy that doesn't know when it's time to let go. And there was a decent article on Yahoo! talking about it wouldn't be surprising at all if Shaq were to attempt a comeback later in the season next year (assuming there is one). With that said, he's a top 3 C and top 10 player overall. His peak of '98 through '02 was as good a peak as I've seen besides you know who. And to think he only has 1 MVP award, that´s insane.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 2, 2011 -> 02:08 PM) Like I've said, Kevin Martin would be amazing. He's one of the best pure shooters in the league and he gets to the stripe so damn often and is obviously lethal from there as well. Derrick Rose would have a boner every game with the extra amount of room he'd have. That alone would be reason enough to NOT have Martin here, who wants to see Rose with a hard on all game long? NOT ME!

After reading all these hypothetical trade scenarios, I don´t envy Forman´s job.The moves he makes this upcoming off season will be the difference between putting the Bulls in position to knock off Miami or being just another EC team nipping on the Heat´s ankles and ultimately failing. Either that or we can hope Dan Gilbert sends some thugs to do a Tanya Harding on LBJ.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 07:34 PM) Dude was one of the two to three best PG's in the league for a while in Sacremento. I didn't know he was that good, I still kinda ignored the NBA after the chairman and his lackey ran out MJ, Pip and PJax out of town, I would just watch the playoffs in those years. I do remember that Kings/Lakers series where the refs handed LA the WCF.That sucked...

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 04:58 PM) Bibby's contract in 2002 was worth 90.5M. If Bibby wasn't an idiot with his money, he should be set for life with or without $5M. The emotional satisfaction of winning a championship will likely have a bigger impact on his life than 5M. lol, who was stupid enough to pay Bibby that kind of money?I never knew he got that kind of bank, makes sense now, lol

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 04:51 PM) You're telling me there is no combination of 3 players out there that could be better than Miami's big 3? I know it´ll never happen but pair up DRose, Durant and DHoward and that is greater than the Miami Big Three...I know, not gonna happen but I can dream.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 04:46 PM) If the CBA stays as-is, I have no doubt that's exactly what would happen. Their bench would fill out happily with the MLE and veterans exemptions every year, they'd be the deepest team in the NBA next year from guys who are free agents and want a ring, and they'll be in a position to have lots of expiring deals every year. They couldn't do it this year prior to the season because they had to actually sign the little 3, but they were able to wrap things up once the season got underway and other teams started making cuts. Mike Bibby turned down $5 million in exchange for a ring and he's going to get it. Good for him but... I don´t get why players would turn down so much money for a ring, especially considering that they are role players and probably didn´t make a ton of money in their prime years...I hate to sound greedy but I´d make as much money as I can as a player especially since we know a sports career is essentially over by your mid to late 30s.Guys like Barkley and Malone chasing rings I get, they made top dollar in their prime, but Bibby?

Hopefully Shaq joins Chuck on TNT, that would be great TV, I always thought Shaq was funny.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 01:44 PM) Some one asked if Miami won 4 of 5 championships would it ruin the NBA, the answer is no. Reffing is what ruins the NBA, it has nothing to do with the players on the court. If Miami earned 5 championships, I have no problem with that. I just dont believe they are good enough to do it. Lebron is the best player in the league, but Im thinking 2-3 is far more reasonable over the next 5 seasons. Even this isn´t going to be easy.They will certainly be in the mix for the next few years but to think they´ll rattle off 5 or 6 championships in a row is just too damn hard to do. The Heat are the top dog in the East, the Bulls need to add a piece or two and grow as a team and they´ll really challenge Miami.I´m looking foward to some great Heat Bulls battles these upcoming years, I don´t buy the Heat will be unbeatable nonsense.

Gavin, rough start but hung in there Lilli Bomb, could´ve had 3 HRs this series PK, the man is just killing it Sale, awesome Santos, where would we be if it wasn´t for Sergio? :gosox1:

OVA b****ES!!!

Awesome work by Sale

Come on Chrissy!! DO THIS

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 12:34 PM) How blind is management that they won't give him more opportunities? This

Is that Nick Diamond from Celebrity Death Match doing color for the Red Sox?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 28, 2011 -> 05:26 PM) Go Usama! I just lost some brain cells.

The scary part is that Barcelona is basically the Spanish National Team without obviously Messi, they are gonna be even harder to beat in the next WC as long as they stay healthy, IMO.

Dear Dallas, If you want to beat Miami, you can´t miss open shots, you´re not the Bulls, you can make those...you also can´t let the Heat bench outscore your bench, they are supposed to suck but they´ve gotten good production from someone off the bench the last few series, stop that or this series will be over in 4 or 5 tops.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:32 AM) Also, after thinking about it, Scottie is dead to me. Absolutely dead. Yeah, the NBA forum I visit is buzzing with this LBJ is the GOAT, Pip really let those LBJ fanboys go in a frenzy with those stupid comments...fortunately not all of MJ former teammates feel the same way.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:13 PM) 1-0 barcelona , inevitable edit:1-1 make that 3 1 and this game is ova!
